Travel Concierge & Events Specialist
I am Sarah Edwards, a Travel Concierge and Events Specialist based in Cobham, Surrey. I design tailor‑made holidays and events around the world: from family adventures and weekend escapes to destination weddings, luxury honeymoons, surprise engagements, corporate events and wellness retreats.
What I offer is a truly personal, end‑to‑end service. From our first conversation, I take time to understand what matters most to you, then look after every detail: from the right hotel and handpicked experiences to restaurant reservations, spa bookings, special touches and online check‑in. While you are away I am only ever a message or call away, and I will always check in when you return to make sure everything was as you hoped.
I am a Middle East specialist, with particular expertise in Oman, Saudi Arabia and the UAE, where I have lived and travelled extensively. I grew up in the South of France, speak English and French fluently, and have lived in France, England, Switzerland, the United States, Monaco and the United Arab Emirates. Having explored more than 48 countries, I bring first‑hand insight, local knowledge and a genuine passion for creating unforgettable travel experiences.
Before turning my passion into my full‑time career, I spent more than 15 years in banking, most recently as a Managing Director and Chief of Staff, and also ran my own wedding planning business. This blend of experience means I manage complex logistics with ease while never losing sight of the personal details that make each trip or event feel effortless and special.
Through Travel Counsellors, I have access to a global network of trusted partners and exclusive, financially protected travel products, so every journey I create is bespoke, secure and uniquely tailored to you, with impartial advice, personal attention and genuine care from start to finish.
I cannot wait to help you plan your next unforgettable experience.
Warmest wishes,
Sarah

Oman: The Middle East’s Hidden Gem of Luxury, Adventure, and Family Discovery
There are few places in the world that surprise travellers quite like Oman. It’s one of those destinations that quietly captivates you — not with glitz or grandeur, but with authentic beauty, genuine hospitality, and astonishing natural diversity. As someone who has travelled extensively across the Middle East, I can honestly say Oman feels different. It’s refined yet understated, adventurous yet

Abu Dhabi: The Cultural Capital Where Luxury, Art, and Family Adventure Meet
Having lived in the UAE for several years, I’ve had the joy of seeing Abu Dhabi evolve — not into a louder version of its neighbour Dubai, but into something far more refined. It’s a place that celebrates culture over chaos, quality over crowds, and hospitality that feels genuinely heartfelt. Abu Dhabi has always had a quiet confidence — a balance of sophistication, safety, and soul. Today, it’s

A Week in Provence: Slow Days, Stone Villas & Lavender Dreams
There’s something timeless about Provence — where every village looks like it belongs in a Cézanne painting and every meal feels like a long, sun-drenched memory in the making. We spent a week in a stone villa just outside Les Baux-de-Provence, one of the region’s most beautiful hilltop towns. With our two kids in tow, we made gentle day trips, sampled croissants daily, and quickly fell into the r

3 Days in Salalah, Oman – Monsoon Magic & Coastal Calm with the Family
Salalah is a place that surprises you — not just with its waterfalls and rolling green hills, but with how deeply it invites you to slow down. We visited in early June, just before the full arrival of the Khareef season (July to August), when monsoon rains transform Oman’s Dhofar region into a tropical oasis. Even then, the signs of what was coming — low clouds, fresh air, and bursts of green — we

3 days in Seoul, Korea
Seoul is a city that invites you to walk — through history, across modern skylines, into quiet alleys and vibrant streets. Over four immersive days, I explored the city almost entirely on foot, staying at the beautifully located Le Méridien Myeongdong, a luxury base that was not only central to everything but also just steps away from Cheonggyecheon Stream — ideal for scenic morning runs or quiet
