It's Nice To Meet You

Discover the World with a Personal Touch


Hello. I’m Sejal. For me, travel is more than a getaway — it’s a gateway to adventure, discovery, relaxation, and meaningful self-reflection. As David Mitchell, author of Cloud Atlas, so aptly put it:
“Travel far enough, you meet yourself.”

Having explored all seven continents, I’ve experienced an A to Z of the world — from sleeping under the stars in the Australian Outback, to white-water rafting on the Zambezi River, and even tying the knot on the breathtaking island of Santorini, Greece back in 2005.

Most recently, I ventured to the awe-inspiring continent of Antarctica — a pristine, untouched wilderness teeming with wildlife, from Gentoo and chinstrap penguins to leopard seals and breaching whales. I even took the exhilarating polar plunge, a once-in-a-lifetime thrill.

Tailor-Made Travel, Crafted Just for You

I’m passionate about creating truly bespoke travel experiences — holidays that are carefully designed around you, your preferences, and your dreams. As a professional independent travel concierge, I offer end-to-end service, taking care of every detail so you can focus on what matters: making memories.

No request is too big or too small. From the first conversation to your safe return home, I’m here to provide a smooth, supportive, and personal service. Whatever your next adventure looks like, I’m ready to help make it extraordinary.

Adventure or Relaxation — Your Ideal Trip Awaits

Whether you’re craving an adventure holiday or simply looking for luxurious downtime, I can curate travel experiences to suit your style:
• Off-the-beaten-track escapes
• Iconic railway journeys and epic road trips
• Safaris and wildlife adventures
• Cruise holidays and polar expeditions
• Scuba diving and skiing breaks
• Wellness retreats and beachside bliss

Let me take the stress out of planning, so you can focus on the excitement of what’s to come.

Ready to plan your next journey? Let’s talk.

Creating wine‑inspired journeys

Creating wine‑inspired journeys

This weekend marked something really special for me: I hosted my first ever wine tasting evening, and with it, the beginning of something I’ve been wanting to build for a long time. As I prepare to start my WSET Level 2 qualification, I have been investing more time in deepening my understanding of wine. Not just in terms of what is in the glass, but the stories behind it: the regions, the grape

India: A Journey Of Heritage, Healing And Heart

India: A Journey Of Heritage, Healing And Heart

There are some journeys that stay with you long after you return home. My recent time in India was one of those: a trip shaped as much by ritual and remembrance as by iconic sights and once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Over several weeks, my husband Ash and I followed a route through North India that wove together ancestral roots, spiritual centres and world-famous landmarks: Amritsar, Agra, Varana

14 day luxury cruise with Seabourn - Hong Kong to Singapore

January 2020, Ash & I were invited on a 14 day luxury cruise on Seabourn, sailing from Hong Kong to Singapore. Initially we were hesitant to go as we had prejudices cruising. These prejudices were quickly busted and we had a superb time. We look back on this holiday with great fondness as it was our last holiday pre Covid 19. The perception that cruising attracts an older retired clientele is n

During our sixteen day trip across South Africa, we spent four days in the Drakensberg Mountains - A UNESCO World Heritage region.

However, if you enjoy hiking then this is a paradise with walks to suit all fitness l

Blue Train - A window to the soul of South Africa.

I love train journeys, so on this our third trip to South Africa, I booked the iconic luxury Blue Train from Cape Town to Pretoria (capital of SA) for Mr J’s birthday. The 994 mile journey takes 2 days or 31 hours to be precise through the interior of the country, offering spectacular views of the wine lands, mountains and desert. Halfway through the journey the train stops at Kimberly - the cent

Battlefields Tour - A Step back in British History

Just outside of the town of Winterton, deep in heart of KwaZulu-Natal province (the south-east of South Africa), you will find a number of key battleground sites dating back to the Boer War and the Anglo-Zulu Wars including Rorke’s Drift and the Battle of Spionkop. Although you can do a self-guided drive around these sites, given that neither of us knew a huge amount about this period of history,

Whilst on holiday to Cape Town, South Africa, we took the opportunity to go cage diving with Great White Sharks – something which we hadn’t had the opportunity to do on any of our previous visits to this beautiful country.

For our 10th wedding anniversary we returned to Santorini, and did some island hopping around a couple of the lesser known Cyclades, Ios and the tiny (but perfectly formed) Folegandros.

What my customers say

Sejal has been fantastic at helping us create our perfect honeymoon. She got the brief straight away, took her time in finding out about us, and created the most brilliant itinerary that we could not have imagined ourselves. We can't thank her enough!

Emma Knudsen

Hertfordshire

Sejal once again went above and beyond to make our trip unforgettable. From finding us the perfect accommodation at competitive rates to ensuring we received a warm, personal welcome at the airport, she took care of every detail with thoughtfulness and precision. One of the most memorable highlights was how she helped us celebrate both of our children’s birthdays during our stay. Our villa was beautifully decorated, cakes arrived right on time, and the children were serenaded by the resort staff at breakfast — moments that brought huge smiles and lasting memories. Thank you, Sejal, for making our holiday so special.

Sandhya Vaid

North London

I contacted Sej in respect to a potential city break my family were thinking of having. Sej was extremely professional in ascertaining the needs & requirements. One of the reasons for using Sej was to gain some ideas about which country to visit and she did not disappoint, she came back with suitable quotations and quickly answered any queries we had. She also worked over the Bank Holiday weekend for us which was really kind and going that extra mile. When choosing a personal travel consultant it is vital to have someone you can trust, will work hard for you and go that extra mile. Sej fits that description and I would recommend her.

Bernard Heilpern

Sej was great. Not only did she listen to what we wanted, she also provided us with suggestions that we may not have considered on our own. Most importantly, she helped us navigate the constant changing prices for travel and lodging. Thanks Sej!
