My expertise
I'm based in
Writtle, Essex
There's a lot of world out there to explore....... I'll do the planning, you make the memories
Welcome, I’m Natalie. I have been fortunate enough to travel to over 30 countries around the world, and I bring a little piece of each one into my work as your Personal Travel Counsellor. Based in the vibrant city of Chelmsford, I love stepping away from the screen to meet you in person: those face-to-face conversations are my favourite part of what I do.
I specialise in making the ordinary feel outstanding.
Every journey has the potential to be breathtaking, awe-inspiring and truly memorable. I have a genuine passion for tailoring your holidays so that they enrich your life long after the tan has faded and the passport is back in the kitchen drawer. That might mean arranging a hands-on cookery class with a group of Italian nonnas, an off-road ATV adventure that ends with sunset cocktails, or simply knowing exactly which hotel bar mixes the best spicy margarita.
I have been lucky enough to travel extensively on my own, with my husband, and now with our little “travel agent in training” in tow. I firmly believe that no travel experience should feel out of reach because you have children, additional needs, or any other consideration that makes you wonder if travel is really for you. I am here to remove the stress and handle the details: nothing is too much trouble and there are no silly questions. Whether you are planning a celebratory round-the-world cruise adventure, your first family safari, a well-earned honeymoon in the paradise of the Maldives or a restorative wellness retreat in South East Asia, we will work together to make sure you get the very best from your precious time away and create memories that last a lifetime.
When you choose to travel with me, you can expect:
- Exceptional personal service: warm, friendly support from our first conversation to the moment the last load of laundry is done and the suitcases are back in the loft.
- Travel designed entirely around you: no “one size fits all” packages, just thoughtfully curated itineraries shaped to your tastes, pace and priorities.
- Wow moments at every stage: from relaxed coffee-shop chats to plan your adventure, to thoughtful little touches and truly unexpected highlights, I am here to help create those stories you will still be sharing in years to come.
- Complete peace of mind: the confidence of knowing that every element of your trip is fully protected and meticulously looked after.
Whether we have known each other for years, you are ready to broaden your travel horizons, or I have been personally recommended to you and you are looking to invest in yourself, I would love to hear from you. Get in touch and let’s start realising your travel dreams together.
