Hello, I’m Stephanie, your personal Travel Advisor, working from my lovely home in Devon — a truly beautiful place to live and work.
With over 35 years’ experience in the travel industry, I specialise in providing a tailored, personal service, carefully listening to my clients’ needs and aspirations to create memorable travel experiences that last a lifetime.
I offer an impartial, efficient, and highly personalised service. With access to thousands of airlines, hotels, and travel suppliers worldwide, I am not restricted to a limited range of options, unlike many traditional agents. This means my clients benefit from greater choice, competitive pricing, and holidays designed specifically around their individual preferences.
Travel is my passion. Having personally travelled extensively across the Far East, Caribbean, Middle East, USA, Mexico, India, the Maldives, Australia, and throughout Europe, I am able to provide valuable first-hand insight across a wide range of destinations and holiday styles — with many more adventures planned. I would be delighted to discuss your ideas and requirements at a time that suits you and help you begin planning your next journey.
My aim is to deliver a high-quality personal travel service, always seeking the best possible value while ensuring every detail is thoughtfully arranged.
This service is supported by a nationwide professional team, monitoring global events around the clock. Should any changes or unforeseen circumstances arise that could affect your travel plans, we work proactively to stay one step ahead and support you every step of the way.
Please do get in touch — I would be delighted to hear from you and help take the first steps towards planning your next fabulous travel experience.

Stephanie has been amazing: we had quite a challenging set of circumstances - a last minute booking, with different requirements, some vague and some very specific! She took her time to talk through what we wanted and then created a holiday plan that ticks all the boxes. She took away all the stress of trying to do this ourselves, and her friendly, proactive approach was incredible compared with high street travel agents. We've been incredibly impressed, and will definitely come to Stephanie for our future holiday needs.
