From Beach Escapes to Multi‑Stop Adventures, I Take Care of Every Detail.
Hi, I’m Lisa, a Travel Counsellor with over 20 years of experience creating tailor‑made holidays all over the world. Travel is my passion. As an independent, home‑based Travel Counsellor, I can give your plans the time they deserve and offer a highly personal level of service at a time that is convenient for you.
Over the years I have built extensive knowledge of airlines, destinations and routes. The advice I give is completely impartial and I have access to excellent offers across the industry, from leading airlines and luxury hotels to cruise lines, car hire and specialist tour operators. I will take the time to understand exactly what you are looking for, then suggest the best places to go and the most seamless way to get there. I can recommend where to stay and what to do when you arrive, from must‑see highlights to special off‑the‑beaten‑track experiences. I will then bring it all together for you, so you have full financial protection for every element of your trip, along with someone you can easily reach whenever you need support.
My love of travel began with a year out in my early twenties, travelling through North America and Asia, including eight months living and working in Australia. Since then I’ve been fortunate to visit many more incredible places and enjoy some unforgettable experiences. Highlights include trekking to see gorillas in Rwanda, sleeping under the stars in Wadi Rum, learning to salsa in Cuba, island hopping in Croatia, a coastal road trip down Highway 1 in the USA and wine tasting in South Africa.
In more recent years my two young children have been part of our adventures too, with trips to Thailand, Holland, Portugal, Spain, Cyprus, Bulgaria, Slovenia and Iceland, so the travel bug is definitely being passed on. These journeys have given me first‑hand insight into a wide range of travel styles, from adventurous touring and road trips to luxury beach escapes and once‑in‑a‑lifetime experiences. I draw on this personal experience, combined with my industry knowledge, to design holidays that feel truly individual and perfectly matched to you.
A client once told me that booking her holiday with me was “like planning a trip with a friend who happens to be a travel expert”. That is exactly how I want every one of my customers to feel: relaxed, listened to and completely looked after from the first chat to the moment they arrive back home.
I look forward to helping you plan your next adventure. Wishing you happy travels!

“Those aren’t the Northern Lights, they’re traffic lights!"
So my two year old son helpfully pointed out to our fellow Aurora Borealis seekers, as the driver-guide jokingly fretted he could be out of a job. He also merrily declares “I didn’t like the Geysers” whenever he is asked about our recent trip to Iceland. Happily, he loved the waterfalls, swimming in thermal pools, seeing wild dolphins and flying on a plane, proving Iceland really is perfect for a

How to have extraordinary adventures with kids
I have always loved to travel, to explore the world and get off the beaten track (that’s why I became a travel agent after all), but since having a kid, most people assume my adventuring days are over, for now at least. But wanderlust doesn’t disappear when you have children and having kids does not have to mean your adventuring days are through. I am a big believer in the importance of travel

Thailand with a tot in tow!
Travelling to Thailand with a 9-month-old baby has got to be pretty crazy, right? That’s what everyone kept telling me, but I’d been there 3 times before (admittedly child free) and was confident that with some careful planning it would be an amazing holiday for all of us. And so it was that in March 2017 I set off on a 16 hour journey with my sister and baby boy. I knew that with baby Savage a
