A little bit about me
I live in South Lincolnshire close to Stamford with my husband and two children. Travel has long been my passion and as a family we love to see the world together. Most recently we have visited the Maldives, Bangkok, Singapore, Koh Samui, island hopped in Greece, enjoyed the delights of Croatia and explored the beautiful cities of Porto, New York, Budapest, Seville, Florence, Sorrento, Taormino and Dubrovnik. We also enjoy weekends away or camping breaks in the UK.
Over the years I have been lucky enough to travel extensively and have I visited the Caribbean many times, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Miami and the Keys, Bali, Singapore, Monte Carlo as well as European cities, popular holiday destinations and Disneyland Paris.
So if you’re ready, let’s prepare to embark on a journey and navigate those dream destinations together.
I look forward to speaking with you and getting to know you.

Why April, May and Early June Might Just Be the Best Time To Visit The Caribbean
If you’ve ever looked at Caribbean holidays and thought, “Hmm, looks pricey…”, this one is for you. April, May and early June are often considered the Caribbean’s golden shoulder season - the sweet spot between peak season prices and summer’s higher hurricane risk. The sun is still shining, the sea is still warm, and the vibe is… well, very Caribbean, just with fewer people fighting you for a sun

Vietnam Unveiled: One Inspiring Holiday, Endless Possibilities
When my clients returned from Vietnam (with a Singapore stopover), their gratitude and energy were truly infectious. They described a journey filled with contrasts: serene mornings and heady nightlife, ancient temples and modern skylines, all stitched together by seamless arrangements, warm hospitality, and just a dash of adventure. If you’re seeking a journey that transcends the ordinary, here’s

New to cruise? So was I - Here's what I learned on my first sailing
Until recently I was firmly in the ‘cruising isn’t for me’ camp. I pictured ships as floating resorts packed to the rafters with people, rigid dining times, fancy pants dress codes and not enough freedom – being ‘stuck’ on a ship with nowhere to go. I just wasn’t sure it was my kind of holiday. That was before I sailed on Norwegian Aqua in March. I wasn’t with my family, I spent three nights with

Let’s hear it for New York, New York, New York
Me, my husband and our 2 kids (14 & 11) arrived in New York on a Saturday morning in early February after a Virgin flight with a super crew on board. We travelled from Peterborough on the Thameslink to Heathrow via Farringdon Street which was seamless.

Greek Island Hopping (with kids...)
What?? I hear you shout! Well, for full transparency we hopped from one island (Santorini) to another (Naxos) and our kids are 13 and 10 so all in all it was a pretty fuss free experience. Both Santorini and Naxos are part of the Cyclades group of islands which are situated southeast of mainland Greece and north of Crete in the beautiful clear waters of the Aegean sea. Direct flights from the UK
