Let's get planning!
Hello, I am Sarah, your personal Travel Counsellor based in East Devon, and I am here to provide travel guidance you can trust and memories you will treasure.
I am a specialist in long-haul, multi-centre and adventure-style trips for solo travellers and couples, with particular expertise in New Zealand, Vietnam and North America, and developing knowledge in Australia. I also have a thoughtful interest in accessible travel, and as an avid traveller I understand how important it is that your holiday feels both inspiring and well planned.
My focus is on thoughtfully planned, tailor-made holidays, especially longer, experience-rich itineraries for solo travellers and couples. Alongside my core destinations, I have created holidays featuring ocean cruises, rail journeys, safaris and wildlife encounters, tropical beaches, Mediterranean and European city breaks, UK cottages and close-to-home escapes, ski trips and mountain adventures, walking and trekking holidays, as well as honeymoons, anniversaries and other once-in-a-lifetime celebrations. If your trip is important to you, I will take the time to design it with care.
As a franchisee of Travel Counsellors, I am an independent and impartial travel planner, with access to an excellent range of travel options to match your holiday requirements, all with full financial protection through Travel Counsellors and ATOL.
So what are you dreaming of next: rail travel through Scandinavia, a weekend in Rome, an African safari or a South American adventure? A classic American road trip, island hopping in Greece, a stopover in Singapore or Dubai, New Zealand, Vietnam, exploring more of North America, or beginning to uncover Australia? Perhaps Sri Lanka and the Maldives, Costa Rica touring, hiking through Patagonia, skiing in Japan or cruising the Caribbean? The possibilities are endless, and I am here to help you make sense of them.
Why book with me? I am here for you. I take the time to listen carefully to what you are looking for, then use my knowledge and experience to shape the right options for you. I will listen, advise and guide you, so that your holiday feels like it has been designed around you and the way you like to travel, whether you are travelling solo, as a couple or with friends and family.
I have travelled extensively and I am always eager to discover more. I love mountains and the outdoors, hiking, skiing, culture and exploring new places, and I understand how important your time away is. My role is to turn your ideas into a well-planned, seamless trip, so that you can focus on the most important part: enjoying your holiday, while I look after the details in the background.
I work flexibly from home, so we can chat and plan at times that suit you, without the limits of traditional office hours.
So, what would you like to start planning: a big adventure, a special celebration or a much-needed escape? Get in touch today and let us start turning those travel dreams into real-life memories.
Thank you,

Skiing can be the most incredible mix of fresh mountain air, big views and those “we did it!” moments on the slopes. It can also feel completely overwhelming when you start trying to choose a resort.

The Ice Hotel, Sweden
My partner and I went on a North Lights adventure to Norway and Sweden over the 2024 into 2025 New Year. It was one of those bucket list trips that you never imagine you will actually do - and then suddenly - there I was planning it all! To add to all this, my partner knew nothing about it! He really thought we were going away for a 'surprise trip' that he had worked out was a cottage in Wales!!
