It's Nice To Meet You
Welcome, I’m Ria, your Travel Fairy Godmother.
For more than 20 years I have been turning travel daydreams into beautifully curated journeys. I left the traditional high street agency behind so I could work as an independent Travel Counsellor and focus on what matters most: you, your time and the memories you want to create.
Think sunset cocktails from your overwater villa in the Maldives, waking up to a new horizon each day on a cruise, a chic European city break or a cosy countryside hideaway in the UK. Whatever you are wishing for, I design tailor-made itineraries that feel effortless, personal and perfectly planned.
With me, you will enjoy:
• One dedicated point of contact who knows you and your travel style
• Tailor-made holidays designed around your schedule and preferences
• 100% financial protection for added reassurance
• Genuine, tried-and-tested recommendations from my own travels
From the first idea to your safe return home, I am here to handle every detail. All you need to do is pack.
Tell me your holiday wish and let us create something truly special together.

Having already had a cruise cancelled and the foreign office advice suddenly changing meaning we had to cancel Tenerife, Turkey was deemed to be on the safe list next for us to try. The day finally arrived, suitcase

An invitation to travel again
The past few months have been like nothing I have ever seen in the travel industry. I have been through 9/11, ash clouds and Swine Flu but Covid 19 really has taken the world out with an enormous bang! The past few months has seen so many cancellations of not just holiday plans but life as we know it with social distancing becoming the new normal to help enable us all to stay safe. Now that the w

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.
