It's Nice To Meet You
I’m Laura, your personal Travel Counsellor, mum of two and long-time travel obsessive. I’m here to design journeys that really reflect you, your life and the way you like to travel.
I’ve lived and worked abroad and fallen for places far away from the usual tourist spots. Over the years I have learned that the best memories come from real, everyday life; the tiny café you stumble across, the train ride where the landscape changes outside your window, the welcome you get in a small, family-run hotel. I love connecting my clients with those kinds of experiences, in ways that support local people and respect the places you visit.
Slow, immersive travel is what I love most. I design trips so you can really get to know each place you visit, rather than rushing from sight to sight. My holidays are rich in local flavour and culture, but still feel comfortable, relaxed and easy to enjoy. Wherever possible, I look for choices that are more thoughtful for the planet too, whether that is travelling by rail, staying longer in fewer places or choosing partners who care about their communities.
Family adventures are a big part of what I do. As a mum of two, I know the best trips with children are the ones where everyone gets to explore, try something new and still have space to unwind. I plan journeys that feel like genuine adventures, not routine holidays, with memories you will talk about for years.
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 by your side every step of the way.
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
