It's Nice To Meet You
Meet Kirsty – Your Personal Travel Specialist
Hi, I'm Kirsty, and travel isn’t just my career ...... it’s my lifelong passion.
My love for exploring the world began at just 15 years old, the moment I stepped onto my first plane. That single journey sparked a curiosity and excitement that quickly turned into an obsession with discovering new places, cultures, and experiences. From that point on, my goal was clear: to experience as much of the world as possible and to help others do the same.
Fast forward to today, and I bring over 18 years of travel industry experience, having explored more than 30 countries, and counting. Along the way, I’ve learned that the best trips aren’t just about where you go, but how deeply you experience a destination. I believe travel should be immersive, personal, and unforgettable.
I love discovering new cuisines, learning local traditions, and truly connecting with each place I visit. Whether it’s a hands-on cooking class, a guided day trip off the beaten path, wandering vibrant city streets, or unwinding on the beach with a cocktail in hand, I appreciate every side of travel. This balanced approach allows me to create holidays that feel authentic, exciting, and perfectly suited to each client.

'It's More Than a Holiday, Its A Complete Experience'
I set out to create something different for my clients. For me, it’s never “just a holiday”, it’s a full travel experience, carefully designed from start to finish.
From the moment you get in touch, I’m by your side. I take the time to understand what you love, what inspires you, and what kind of trip you’re dreaming about. I then create, book, and manage every detail to ensure your journey is seamless and memorable every single time.
Once your holiday is booked, my service doesn’t stop there. I provide a concierge-style service, helping you pre-book restaurants, unique experiences, must-see attractions, and hidden gems that truly bring a destination to life. My aim is for you to travel with confidence, knowing everything has been thoughtfully planned and taken care of.
'Travel Tailored to You'
I specialise in a wide range of travel experiences, including:
Beach holidays

No request that you have is too big or too small. Whether you’re planning a romantic escape, a beach holiday, a once-in-a-lifetime celebration, or a complex itinerary that needs extra care and attention, I’m here to make it happen.
For added peace of mind, all bookings made with me are 100% financially protected.
'Personal, Flexible & Always Here to Help'
I pride myself on offering a personal, flexible service that fits around you. I’m available via email, WhatsApp, phone calls, Zoom, or even one-to-one meetings—whatever suits you best. You’ll always have a dedicated travel expert who knows your trip inside and out and is there whenever you need support. You will also be provided with 24/7 emergency care if required while travelling.
When I’m not planning unforgettable holidays, you’ll most likely find me on the beach, at a reformer Pilates class, or enjoying a great meal, all while dreaming about my next destination.
My business is built almost entirely on referrals from happy clients, so if you’ve loved working with me, please don’t keep me a secret. I’d be incredibly grateful if you shared my details with your friends and family who are looking to plan their next trip.
