It's Nice To Meet You
Hi, I’m Kelly,
I live in Nazeing, Essex, with my husband and three children, and travel has always been both my passion and my profession. Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to explore incredible destinations across the world, including many US states, Hawaii, UAE, Lapland, and many more countries across Europe. More recently, I’ve expanded my travels to the Caribbean, visiting beautiful destinations such as Jamaica, Antigua and The Bahamas.
A personal favourite of mine is Florida, there’s so much more to discover beyond the theme parks, from vibrant cities to stunning coastlines. I’ve travelled extensively across the state with my family, as well as exploring destinations like New York, Los Angeles, Tampa, Miami and the Florida Keys.
I’m incredibly proud to now be a Disney Ambassador for Travel Counsellors, allowing me to offer expert guidance on magical Disney holidays. I’ve also recently achieved a major milestone in my business, reaching £3 million in sales, something I’m truly grateful for and proud of.
With many years of experience working for a tour operator, I have built strong expertise in creating everything from package holidays to tailor-made itineraries and city breaks, including Paris, Disneyland, Belgium, Amsterdam, London and beyond. As a Travel Counsellor, I now offer an even wider choice of holidays, using award-winning technology to find the best options for you. Your booking experience will be seamless, enjoyable, and completely stress-free.
I can take care of every detail of your trip, including flights, accommodation, cruises, transfers, car hire, Ski holidays, attraction tickets and more. Whether it’s a dream wedding, a luxury escape, a family holiday, a group booking or a multi-destination adventure, I will tailor every aspect to suit you perfectly. For complete peace of mind, everything you book through me is 100% financially protected by ATOL and the Travel Counsellors Trust.
What matters most to me is the service I provide. I genuinely care about every client I work with, and many go on to become wonderful friends. Building trust and loyalty is at the heart of everything I do.
I still have plenty on my own travel bucket list too, from an African safari to the Seychelles, Bali and a classic Route 66 road trip in a Winnebago.
If you’re looking for a friendly, efficient and truly personal service when planning your next holiday or business trip, I’d love to help. I’ll dedicate my time, knowledge and passion to turning your travel dreams into unforgettable memories.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Warm regards,
