Tailor‑made adventures, safaris, cruises and escapes, designed around you
I create thoughtfully designed, tailor‑made trips for people who want more from their holiday than an off‑the‑shelf package. From private touring adventures and safaris to city breaks, beach escapes, ski trips, Lapland magic and expedition cruises, I’m here to plan the kind of journeys you’ll still be talking about years later.
Whether you are planning a once‑in‑a‑lifetime adventure or a quick recharge, I’ll build a trip that fits your travel style, pace and budget.
I’ve visited over 60 countries and have a genuine passion for exploring the world, discovering new cultures and experiencing local life. I’m happiest when I can help clients get slightly off the beaten track and uncover places they might not have found on their own.
Some of my favourite destinations include Costa Rica, Thailand, South Africa and Tanzania. On my own bucket list you will find an Antarctica expedition cruise, the Canadian Rockies, Peru, Cappadocia and an Everest Base Camp trek. This mix of personal experience and future goals keeps my recommendations both grounded and constantly evolving.
Before becoming an independent Travel Counsellor, I worked for Audley Travel focusing on Southeast Asia, which honed my skills in creating detailed, highly personalised itineraries.
Working for myself means I can take the time to really understand what you want from your holiday and look after the details from start to finish. I love the challenge of piecing together complex routes, connections and experiences so that everything feels seamless for you.
You will always deal with one person: me. No call centres, no repeating your story to multiple people, just a consistent, trusted point of contact.
I live in North London and outside of travel I enjoy walking, listening to podcasts and practising Muay Thai. I genuinely enjoy logistics, planning and problem‑solving, which is why complex itineraries and multi‑stop trips are my favourite to work on.
I believe that good travel planning is a collaboration. I bring the ideas, knowledge and organisation; you bring your dreams, preferences and non‑negotiables. Together we shape something that feels exactly right for you.
When you work with me, you are not just clicking “book now” on a website. We start with an in‑depth chat so I can understand who you are travelling with, how you like to travel and what you want from this trip. I then design a personalised itinerary and clear quote, which we refine together until it feels right. Before you go, we have a quick pre‑departure check‑in, and while you are away you have direct access to me on WhatsApp instead of a call centre. When you are home, we catch up so I can hear all about your trip and use your feedback to shape ideas for your next adventure.
Thank you for visiting my webpage and I look forward to arranging an unforgettable holiday for you!

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.
