Welcome to my World of Travel!
There’s a saying “If you choose a job you love, it will never feel like work,” which is absolutely true in my case. I'm very happy living in beautiful Poole, Dorset but I do love to travel & to explore new places. A huge part of the enjoyment for me is the research, planning and attention to detail required to put together a seamless journey and travel experience. Having been employed in the travel industry for almost my entire career, I have a wealth of knowledge and expertise that you can trust.
As your Personal Travel Counsellor, I’m available during normal office hours but also at a time that suits you best, as I work from my home office. I like to get to know my clients well and build a relationship over time so that I can assure all your travel arrangements run smoothly and that you are looked after, before, during and after your journey. I specialize in tailormade long haul holidays but can help you with all of your travel requirements from European city stays to once in a lifetime adventures. I've been lucky enough to have travelled extensively all over the world but there are still so many places yet to discover. My wish list is very long……
Please contact me by email or phone, I'm ready to start planning your next adventure or dream holiday!
I look forward to hearing from you very soon.

Moments that Matter
The theme of the Travel Counsellors Annual Conference 2019 was “Moments that Matter”. Travel experiences feature highly on my own “moments that matter” list because by their very nature they tend to be experiences outside of normal day to day life. It’s also that time of year, when you tend to reflect on another year past and think about the new one about to begin. The Year 2020, how futuristic d

Cape Town
As well as having a regrettably good Rugby Union team, South Africa is also a country blessed with beautiful countryside, rugged mountain ranges, lush rolling hills, stunning beaches and an abundance of wildlife. I'll start with Cape Town, as there is so much to see in just this one city and the surrounding area. Cape Town has a stunning, waterfront location with the backdrop of Table Mountain, i

Iceland - more than just the Northern Lights!
The Northern Lights or Aurora Borealis is an amazing, natural, phenomena occurring when electrically charged particles emitted by the sun, interact with the earth’s magnetic field. Iceland’s unique, geographical location makes it an excellent place to view the lights if the conditions are right – ideally you need clear, cloudless, dark skies. The best time to visit is between October and March. I

Tasmania - Island of Tranquillity
The small, heart shaped island of Tasmania, located off the south coast of Australia is a place close to my heart, as I’m married to a proud Tasmanian. For many people on their first visit to Australia, the core of their holiday tends to be based around either Sydney or Melbourne, the Barrier Reef coastline and the Red Centre. For those lucky enough to visit for a second or a third time, then I wo

Iconic Rail Journeys
There are some experiences which are truly “once in a lifetime”. The Rocky Mountaineer isn’t just a train journey through the Rocky Mountains, it is a luxurious encounter with a bygone age where to travel was a glorious, unforgettable experience. The journey is all about the magnificent views, the exceptional service and the wonderful, Michelin style food. The Rocky Mountaineer offers two level

Helsinki, City of the Sea
Helsinki was voted as one of the world’s most liveable cities. It is a “City of the Sea” and was founded to compete with the Hanseatic port of Tallinn, across the Gulf of Finland. The Suomenlinna fortress was built to protect the harbour and is today a UNESCO World Heritage site, one of the largest sea forts in the world and Helsinki’s top visitor’s attraction. Suomenlinna Island is not all abou

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.

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
I believe your time away should be stress-free, easy, and seamless from start to finish. So, I take care of all the details for you - from ATOL protection, insurance, and flexible payments to access to the myTC app, which keeps everything in one place.
Support when it matters most
If the unexpected happens, you can rest easy, knowing that I’ll handle any last-minute changes, flight cancellations, or disruptions before you even pick up the phone. So you always feel happy, carefree, and ready to make the most of every moment.
