It's Nice To Meet You
Hello, I am Paula, your personal Travel Counsellor and dedicated travel addict with a genuine passion for helping you see the world.
I have travelled to 5 of the 7 continents and explored destinations in depth, from backpacking adventures to luxury island escapes. Over the years I have backpacked across Canada, Tahiti, Moorea, Bora Bora, the Cook Islands, Australia, New Zealand, Tasmania, Malaysia and Singapore, so I understand both the practical side of travel and those special touches that turn a trip into a lifelong memory.
Island escapes are one of my greatest loves. I have stayed at four different island resorts in the Maldives, as well as visiting Mauritius, Cape Verde, Jamaica, Aruba, Cancun, Antigua and Hawaii. If you are dreaming of white sand, turquoise water and a holiday that feels like a complete escape from everyday life, I can help you find the island and resort that suits you perfectly.
I am also a true Las Vegas specialist, having visited every year over the last 20 years in different hotels with a variety of itineraries. Whether you want to experience the nightlife, world-class dining, shows, shopping or to twin Vegas with another destination, I can design the right trip for you. Closer to home, I am a regular visitor to Ibiza and Mallorca, with a wealth of knowledge to help you choose the right area and style of holiday, from chilled and boutique to lively and fun.
When you book with me, you will benefit from full ATOL protection on your holiday arrangements and the reassurance of 24/7 support, so there is always someone on hand if you need assistance while you are away. My role is to listen carefully to what you want, use my first-hand knowledge and experience to guide you, and take away all the stress of planning.
If you are starting to think about your next trip, I would love to help you plan something truly amazing.

Tailor-made for you
Your holiday isn’t just a trip away. It’s a longed-for escape, time to reconnect with loved ones, or a dream adventure you never thought possible. That’s why I take the time to truly get to know you and understand your hopes and expectations, then use my experience, connections and passion for the destination to create a trip that makes those dreams a reality.
Personalised service. Always
When you plan a holiday with me, you’ll be given my personal mobile number from the very first call. I’ll listen to your thoughts and ideas like I would a friend and arrange accommodation, activities, and flights that are all personalised to you. And I’ll share my personal tips and recommendations, so you can experience the true beauty of each destination.
Stress-free travel, and more time for what matters most
