It's Nice To Meet You
Hello, I’m Katie May – your trusted Travel Counsellor, based in the heart of Lincolnshire. Boston is home to me, my husband, our teenage son, a lively dog, and a muddy cob (horse, for anyone not in the know). Life here is full of energy and warmth – and that’s exactly what I bring to every holiday I create: a wholehearted commitment to helping you craft life-long memories.
My passion for travel ignited as a solo adventurer in Australia during my first gap year after school. The travel bug truly took hold during a second gap year post-university, when I embarked on a round-the-world backpacking adventure with my then-boyfriend (now husband): we partied under full moon skies, lived on remote outback cattle stations, soared above the Grand Canyon, and woke to lions’ roars on safari under canvas.
Since then, I’ve snorkelled in the crystal-clear waters of the Maldives, marvelled at the ancient majesty of Machu Picchu, and been immersed in the vibrant culture of India. These, and many more experiences have gifted me memories to last a lifetime and inspired my career helping others do the same. Years with a leading luxury tour operator allowed me to specialise in crafting journeys that truly mean more – from exhilarating ski adventures and sun-drenched Mediterranean escapes, to dreamy winter-sun retreats across the Indian Ocean, Middle East, and Caribbean. Yet, the Seychelles remains a personal favourite: a paradise where those once-in-a-lifetime moments seem effortless, thanks to icing-sugar sands and idyllic lagoons.
As your Travel Counsellor, I’ll guide you towards a Better Journey at every step – whether you’re chasing bucket-list experiences, seeking total relaxation, craving cultural adventures, or longing for meaningful family time. I’ll help you build a holiday that sparks pure joy and creates life-long, joyful memories. My personal service and meticulous planning mean you can truly relax, knowing every detail is in safe hands.
Because I’m a flexible homeworker balancing family (and muddy cob) life, I’m here whenever you need – daytime, evenings, or weekends. Let’s make your next holiday not just a trip, but the first chapter in a story of cherished new memories.
Let’s start planning your Better Journey today. Get in touch, and let’s create life-long memories you’ll treasure forever.

Katie completely listened to our requirements and matched them perfectly. She gave us enhanced ideas & alternative choices based on the initial requirement, so opened our eyes to other possibilities. We're soo grateful to have had that kind of knowledge & experience to guide to exceed our expectations.

We had a great experience working with Katie. She listened to us but also probed around to check she fully understood what kind of holiday suited us best. We made a decision very quickly and she secured a fantastic deal and we were very pleased with the outcome.

Katie was a brilliant help when I decided to book a last-minute trip to NYC with my step-daughter. She listened to my requirements and ideas, and booked flights and accommodation that suited our needs. She took the hassle out of researching and booking everything and I highly recommend choosing Katie to help with your future travel requirements.

I immediately felt in safe and reliable hands with Katie May and TC, I had to make some changes to my plans which was accomplished with courtesy, grace and ease - personal and professional and curated for me... a rare service in organising and co-ordinating travel these days.

Katie was really helpful... sorted us out efficiently; despite us being undecided on location and also changing the dates a couple of times. Second time we’ve used Katie; and we will continue to do so. We like the 1-1 support as opposed to booking it ourselves online; and there is less hassle too!

Katie was super, a real pleasure, she made organising a family trip straightforward and took the stress out of it. I’ve never used a travel agent before as put off by the big names but using Katie felt personal, which I loved. A super experience and one I highly recommend, especially if your looking for suggestions and alternatives to the package trip.

My Top 5 Tips for writing your Travel Bucket List

So it feels like a good time to give some consideration to what is on our travel bucket lists. A bucket list is defined as “a number of experiences or achievements that a person hopes to have or accomplish during their lifetime”. A bu
