Discover Stress‑Free, Tailor‑Made Travel
Planning a holiday should be exciting, not exhausting. If you have ever found yourself with one too many tabs open, comparing flights and hotels, or simply not knowing where to start, you are in the right place.
I am Rebecca, a self‑confessed travel addict and your personal designer of unforgettable, tailor‑made holidays. Based in North London, I specialise in creating bespoke trips for families, busy professionals and adventure seekers across the UK: from luxury beach escapes and multi‑centre itineraries to multi‑generational celebrations, small‑group adventures and once‑in‑a‑lifetime safaris.
One person. Every detail. No stress.
When you work with me, you have a single dedicated point of contact who gets to know you, your family and your travel preferences from the very first conversation. I take care of everything: researching destinations, sourcing flights, handpicking accommodation, arranging private transfers, curating experiences and providing 24/7 support while you are away. Your only job is to look forward to the trip.
A passion built over two decades of travel
My love of travel started long before I joined the industry. Over the past two decades I have explored 50 countries and counting: from vibrant street‑food markets in Thailand and Vietnam to tranquil beaches in Bali; from safaris across Southern Africa to the snow‑dusted magic of Lapland, ancient cities in China and dramatic landscapes in New Zealand, plus everything you need to know about Disney in Orlando and Paris. Every journey has deepened my understanding of what makes a holiday truly special, and what can quietly unravel it if it is not planned well.
Tailor-made family holidays
As a mum, I know first‑hand the joys and the very real logistics of travelling with children. Family needs evolve: what works for toddlers rarely suits teenagers, and different generations often have very different ideas of “fun”. I think through every detail, from flight times that maximise sleep to room configurations, kids clubs and experiences that genuinely engage all ages. My aim is simple: family holidays that feel as relaxing for parents as they are exciting for children.
Adventure and independent travel
For those who love to explore, I work with leading small‑group operators and trusted local specialists to curate journeys that feel authentic and deeply rewarding. Prefer to travel at your own pace? I can tailor every element around your interests, whether that is Southeast Asia, a wildlife safari, rail journeys or time off the beaten track in Australia or New Zealand.
Recognised expertise you can trust
With more than 20 years in the travel industry and almost a decade as a Travel Counsellor, I am proud to be recognised as one of our Top 100 Gold Advisors. I combine personal insight with strong professional connections to give my clients access to trusted partners and carefully chosen experiences you will not find by scrolling online.

Two Magical Weeks in Orlando
In August I took my 11‑year‑old daughter to Orlando for a very special celebration to mark the end of primary school. It was a trip we had talked about for years and it turned out to be everything we hoped for and more – both magical and exhausting, yet ultimately joyful.

Five Moments That Made Me Fall in Love with Morocco
Why this destination deserves a spot at the top of your travel wishlist. If you’ve been eyeing up Morocco for your next adventure, it absolutely deserves a place on your wishlist. I recently went on a whirlwind trip covering the High Atlas Mountains, the Sahara Desert, tiny villages, bustling souks, and a whole lot of tagine. I came home with sandy shoes, a happy heart, and a strong urge to go st

Our Egypt Family Adventure Holiday
Egypt is a destination that’s been on my bucket list since school days. The pyramids, the pharaohs, the myths and mysteries — it felt like the opportunity to step back in history. This Easter, I finally got to experience it for myself on the 8-day Egypt Family Holiday with Intrepid Travel — and it was even more magical than I’d imagined. Here’s why Egypt turned out to be the perfect family advent

Why Use an Australia Travel Specialist for Your Tailor-Made Holiday?
I first set foot in Australia back in 2006, when I began my career in the travel industry working for an Australia and New Zealand specialist tour operator. Part of my training involved three weeks exploring the country first-hand – and that’s when my love affair with Australia truly began. Since then, I’ve returned seven times, covering all seven states and territories – from the remote Tiwi Isl

Why Choose a Touring Holiday in Italy
Ahhh Italy, there is a reason this famous boot-shaped country is a best-seller. I have blissful memories of driving along the meandering, lemon-clad Amalfi Coast roads gasping at one incredible view, believing it couldn’t be beaten, only to round the corner and be treated to another, then another…. Having travelled down from Rome the coastal air was a welcome change from the frenetic capital wher

Orlando - VIP Style
In September I was invited on the Visit Orlando Super Fam – a special familiarisation trip for 50 UK Travel Agents. This special, VIP trip offered a whistle-stop tour of Disney, Universal and Sea World all crammed in to 6-days. I returned exhausted but equipped with all the insights I need to help my clients make the most of this often once-in-a-life time trip. First time visitors to Orlando oft

Why Choose Cruising?
Cruising is one of the fastest growing sectors of the travel industry. With this in mind I took the time to speak to one of my clients about why he continues to choose cruising for his holidays? What first appealed to you about cruising? The main thing that appealed to me about taking a cruise was the fact that, on any one cruise, I could visit so many different destinations and I wouldn’t have

A Very British Bank Holiday Staycation
I’m one of those people who fall squarely in to the category of being lured by far flung places. When I first packed up my backpack it was for Thailand. On my gap year I went to Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji. It is only since having my daughter that Europe has really piqued my interest. But this summer we opted to plan an English staycation renting a beautiful cottage in Corfe Castle, Dorse

The Magic of Family Holidays
Often once you have kids everything that you previously looked for from a holiday changes. My husband and I spent our early 20's seeking adventure. Climbing Mount Kinabalu, overlanding through Southern Africa and backpacking around Australia. Then as we got slightly older, we luxuriated in top end hotels like the Shangri-La, enjoyed fine dining at Michelin star restaurants and sought unique experi

Lanzarote Family Holiday
It’s been nearly two years since we took a family beach holiday but, with my daughter starting pre-school this year, I knew that I had to squeeze in another trip before we get bound to school holiday timetables. I’d heard many good things about Lanzarote but have never been despite it being one of my top selling destinations so that sent it high up on my wish list. I picked the Iberostar Lanza

Our Family Scotland Adventure
For several reasons my husband, 3-year-old daughter Cleo and I decided to holiday in the UK this year. Some good friends have recently moved to Newtonmore in the Cairngorms National Park, so we built our holiday around visiting them. However, me being me the plan quickly escalated in to a full-on road trip around Scotland. In our pre-child life, my husband and I have great memories of traveling in

Top 5 Tips for Flying with a Toddler
BUY THEM A SEAT Even though technically infants can sit on your lap and don't need to pay for their own seat until they turn two, if you can afford it then once your baby turns in to a quite large, fully mobile toddler I would highly recommend buying them their own seat. On our flight, last year to Khalkidhiki we were fortunate enough to have a spare seat next to us on the way out and it ma
