Your next journey starts here
You want a holiday that actually feels like yours: your pace, your interests, your idea of a good time. As your personal Travel Counsellor, mum of two, and lifelong travel obsessive, I create tailormade trips that reflect you, your life and the way you like to travel.
I’ve travelled extensively, and lived and worked abroad, and I bring that hard-earned, real-world experience into every trip I plan. From the small details to the big decisions, you benefit from places I have seen, journeys I have taken and the ideas that come from years of being curious about the world.
I am particularly passionate about experiential travel that immerses you in the destination and takes you beyond the 'usual sights', whether that's riding a local train through changing landscapes, spotting wildlife on a night safari, staying in a small, family-run hotel or sampling street food in a bustling night market, working with local guides and businesses who really know and care about the place you are visiting.
And these immersive holidays are not just for grown‑up trips! With the right planning, they can be some of the best memory‑making moments for family holidays too, shaped around ages, interests and attention spans so they feel exciting, manageable and genuinely fun for everyone. I'll manage the detailed logistics, you just pack the snacks.
When you book with me, you are looked after from the first idea to the moment you arrive back home. You have one dedicated point of contact, recommendations shaped around what you love, and the reassurance of travelling with an experienced Travel Counsellor, backed by 100% financial protection for complete peace of mind from start to finish.
If you are ready for something a bit different, I would love to help you plan your next adventure.

Take the Kids to Rome!
So, full disclosure. I did not expect to have a good time in Rome with 2 kids under 5. Especially, my kids. The oldest (4) refuses to walk anywhere further than the local shop and hates crowds, retreating inside the cocoon of his buggy like an A-list celeb on the run from the paps. My youngest (2) just has no sense of danger and would literally run laughing into oncoming traffic. Which, as we know

Five reasons why Jordan is a great place to travel with kids
When we told friends and family that we were planning on touring Jordan for two weeks with our kids (aged 4 and 1), we got a few funny looks. ‘Are you sure?’, ‘Is it safe?’, ‘How will you manage with the baby?’, people asked. But having got through covid and done a few more ‘low-key’ trips with the kids to Cyprus and Spain, me and my husband were desperate to reclaim our travelling youth and do
