It's Nice To Meet You
I am an independent travel consultant working with award-winning Travel Counsellors based on the north coast of Cornwall. I have always believed that travel is good for the soul: it is about the people you meet, the moments you treasure and the stories you bring home.
A lifelong interest in travel has grown into a career of over 30 years in the industry. Over this time, I have worked with a wide range of destinations and holiday styles. I arrange everything from one-week beach holidays to complex, multi-destination itineraries worldwide, as well as offering carefully chosen escorted group tours where these work well for your trip. Latin America is a particular passion of mine, having spent over a decade designing tailor-made itineraries to this region and travelling extensively throughout Central and South America.
As your Travel Counsellor, I take the time to get to know you and what matters most: your travel style, must-sees, budget and interests, while helping you navigate an ever‑changing travel landscape. I work with a wide range of well‑known travel companies as well as smaller specialist partners, taking away the time and hassle of researching and booking, so my clients can simply enjoy a trip that feels made for them.
My clients benefit from;
• Full financial protection
• 24/7 dedicated duty office support while you are away
• No call centres: just me as your one point of contact from our first conversation, to when you return home.
• Friendly, flexible service that fits around your life
Some of my key travel experiences include cruising the Galapagos Islands, a safari in Kenya, hiking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, trekking in Ethiopia’s Simien Mountains, spotting jaguars in Brazil, road trips in the USA, the Canadian Rockies, and New Zealand, seeing the Taj Mahal at dawn and staying in remote lodges in the Amazon rainforest. Since having children, our holidays have been closer to home but just as rewarding, with unforgettable adventures to Lapland, Disneyland, Marrakech and Albania. As your Travel Counsellor, I draw on my depth of expertise, combining my first-hand experiences, meticulous planning and a genuine passion for travel to create the right holiday for you.
Growing up in Cornwall and throughout my career, I have seen both the positive impact of tourism and the challenges it can bring to a destination. That is why I love creating itineraries with care, recommending experiences that support local communities, while offering meaningful, authentic moments that enrich your holiday.
I would love to help you plan your next adventure, so please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Peru & Ecuador: Why I Love Adding an Amazon Stay
When people think of Peru or Ecuador, they often picture the Andes, Machu Picchu, the Galápagos Islands or beautiful colonial cities. The Amazon rainforest can feel like “another world”, and while a trip to this region is already unforgettable in its own right, adding time in the rainforest can be a once‑in‑a‑lifetime experience that takes it to another level. The Amazon is most often associated

Short on Time, Big on Adventure: South America in 10 Days
I am often asked whether it is possible to visit South America as part of a 10‑day holiday or a shorter trip. South America is indeed a vast and astonishingly varied continent and its sheer size is often underestimated. The distance between the most northly point, Punta Gallinas, Colombia and the most southerly point in Cape Froward, Chile is about 4,500 miles so there is a lot of ground to cover.

Marrakech with Kids: Riad Stays, Desert Adventures and Colourful Streets
Marrakech with Kids: Riad Stays, Desert Adventures and Colourful Streets It was my first time in Morocco and my husband first went over 20 years ago, so it felt like a fresh adventure for all of us. From the moment we arrived, the city was alive with sights, sounds and smells and the girls, six and nine at the time, were completely captivated. Seeing it all through the eyes of our two girls made

A Week in Corfu: Our Perfect Family Greek Getaway
This summer we escaped to the sun-soaked island of Corfu, and what a week it was. Flying out from Exeter, we found ourselves in a world of turquoise seas, olive groves, and island life. Where We Stayed: Our Villa with a View We based ourselves in a villa overlooking the Antinioti Lagoon and the sea beyond – and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Peaceful and private, it gave us total freedom:
