With more than 30 years experience in travel, experience in the corporate world and co‑running a construction business while raising three children, I understand how vital it is to have someone you trust taking care of the details.
I am passionate about travel for all and specialise in accessible and inclusive journeys. From carefully chosen hotels and adapted vehicles to additional equipment and on‑the‑ground support, I design holidays, honeymoons, weddings and business trips that fit you perfectly.

As your personal Travel Counsellor, I combine tailored, one‑to‑one service with the reassurance of full financial protection behind every booking. I am here to shape your ideal itinerary and support you every step of the way.

River Cruise with Teens
River cruise with teens There is a perception that river cruise is for a certain age group. Whilst slow travel is perfect for those already retired & perhaps already appreciating a slower pace of life, it’s not an exclusive to any age bracket. Summer 2022 I got to test this by travelling on the luxury river cruise line, Uniworld, with my 14-year-old daughter – Lola. Some thought Lola would be b

Corfu during Covid-19
One of my TC buddies had planned a trip with her daughters and niece and had upgraded to a swim up suite at a brand new hotel. When Michelle shared the countdown I was happily envious but a few days before the trip and the niece could no longer travel. Given the opportunity to experience one of the first flights post pandemic and a change of scenery to an island I had not been to before, I jumped

Northumberland Beaches - my top picks
I have been lucky to sink my toes into some of the finest beaches around the World. I will happily set the alarm for sunrise, join you for sundowners and swim in the sea without a care in the world – or to my family’s horror a thought to what may lurk beneath. Of all the places explored, Northumberland Coast takes number one. Wherever you stay in the NE you are close by (at most a short drive) to

Search for the Ultimate Family Holiday
Looking for the ultimate family holiday? I completely relate to the challenge of keeping all members of the family happy. With 3 children of my own, 2 of which are teenagers (please send help, or gin) and sometimes grandparents who join us - finding holiday options to keep all happy can be quite a challenge. Children of varying ages who have different likes (probably more dislikes, parents of tee

MSC Bellisima - Beauty at Sea
MSC’s brand new flagship, Bellissima (the largest ship to have been launched in the UK to date), docked in Southampton for the weekend and I was lucky to be part of the festivities before her inaugural sailing. There were a host of celebrities and celebrations over the weekend, which was incredible but lets focus on the ship and the experience for you. Bellissima is the sister ship to Meravigl

Educational Trip to Mexico!
In June 2018 I was extremely fortunate to win a trip to explore Mexico. The itinerary we received sounded fabulous, including 4 hotels, excursions, site visits and our favourite statement - time at leisure! Our flights from Manchester with Thomas Cook were upgraded so we could experience their Premium Class product. Premium seats with extra space, adjustable head rest, upgraded in-flight ente

Italian Cruise
I organise a lot of cruises and have clients who love to cruise. When I was offered the opportunity to attend a conference on the newly launched Carnival Horizon ship, I jumped at it! The cruise was set to sail from Naples, cruise overnight to Rome then we would disembark in Livorno. Travelling with some fellow Travel Counsellors we decided to travel to Naples a day early and spend 24hours in

Florida
It's top of most children's travel lists, but in my family, I am the biggest child of all! I had been to Florida pre-children and have organised lots of holidays for my clients. As you can imagine, it took little convincing when I suggested Florida as our main family holiday. The excitement levels rocketed, and the countdown was our most exciting one yet, all helped my our amazing myTC app. We

Cyprus Gems
In March 2018 I was very delighted to be offered a space on an educational trip hosted by the Cyprus Tourism Organisation. The itinerary was jam packed with all of the gems which Cyprus has to offer, providing an in depth tour of Agia Napa, Larnaca, Limassol, Omodos Village, Pathos and what was to become my personal favorite - Tochni Village. Luckily for me the theme of this trip was discoveri
