Thank you for taking the time to view my webpage, I would be delighted to offer my services as your personal travel consultant.
I have worked in the travel industry for 30 years and my extensive knowledge and experience means that I provide a friendly, personal and professional service with expert advice and guidance. Travel is a huge part of my family’s life and I have been fortunate enough to visit over 60 countries and make memories to last a lifetime. Highlights include a tiger safari in India, a helicopter trip over Table Mountain in South Africa, learning to dive on the Great Barrier Reef, and driving the Pacific Highway 1 along the California coast. I now have 2 young children and enjoy taking them to new destinations and experiencing new cultures. We have recently travelled to Thailand and the kids highlight was a jungle adventure with elephants - memories and experiences they will keep forever and it's safe to say they have the travel bug too!

Raising 2 Travellers
The experts agree: your children can, and should, be explorers. I have travelled extensively from an early age, I love adventures and seeking out new places and want my children to be the same.

Hottest ticket at Sea
What a privilege to be invited to one of the hottest ship launches of the year, to say I was excited would be an understatement! Along with some fellow Travel Counsellors, lots of travel industry representatives and a few celebs I boarded the MSC Bellissima in Southampton to check out this incredible ship #beautyatsea. As soon as I was welcomed on board, I could see why she had been named Belliss

Long haul adventures with my young family
I love exploring new places, the excitement of experiencing new cultures, food and just not knowing what to expect. I want my children to grow up with a knowledge of the world and there is no better way to do that than experiencing it first-hand. Finding a destination that works for everyone can be tricky, but I truly believe Thailand is one of the best destinations that offers something for every

Ski Weekend in the Alps
It has been seven years since I strapped myself into my boots and felt the adrenaline rush of descending the mountain side. As a special treat for my 40th, my sister and I decided it was about time I took to the mountain again after taking the long break whilst I had started my family. I have been lucky enough to have skied in both Europe and North America many times and love the skiing as much
