It's Nice To Meet You
Welcome, I am Tracy, your personal Travel Counsellor on the sunny Suffolk coast. A childhood spent living in Germany meant that hopping across borders into neighbouring countries quickly became a way of life, and those early journeys across Europe and into Asia are where my love of travel and different cultures truly began. From backpacking through Australia and exploring the Far East, to discovering the Caribbean, Canada and the Middle East, travel has always been at the heart of my story and continues to inspire everything I do for my clients today.
I spent more than 30 years working as a Finance Manager in the private sector, including over 25 years in the travel and tourism industry, so I bring a unique blend of insider knowledge, commercial understanding and meticulous organisation to every trip I design. In 2020 I decided to turn my lifelong passion into my full‑time profession and, for the past five years, I have been creating carefully tailored holidays as a Travel Counsellor. I combine a genuine love of discovering new places, people and flavours with a detail‑driven, numbers‑savvy approach that keeps your plans running smoothly from the first idea to your return home. I understand both the joy and the juggle of travelling with children from my own family adventures with my son Tommy, and I also share my husband’s enthusiasm for long‑haul escapes, culture‑rich city breaks and a growing love of F1 and walking holidays (honestly that's something I thought I would never say).
When you plan your holiday with me, it is all about you. I take the time to listen to what you truly want from your time away, whether that is relaxation, adventure, culture, family connection or a little of everything. I will get to know how you like to travel, what matters most to you and what will transform a good holiday into a trip you will talk about for years. Every itinerary is designed around your needs, with thoughtful touches and professional guidance at every step, and I will be here to support you before you go, while you are away and once you are home again. My aim is simple: to take the stress out of planning so that all you feel is the excitement of your next journey and the pleasure of making unforgettable memories.
If you are ready to start imagining your next escape, I would be delighted to help bring your travel dreams to life.

Greek Island Hopping - Solo Traveller
Let's talk about the unexpected joy of solo travel, especially a recent walking trip I took island hopping in Greece. While solo travel can feel daunting, it’s also incredibly rewarding. What began as anxiety quickly transformed into a journey of self-discovery & making lots of new friends ( I travelled with a small group of like minded people who I had never met before). Wandering through ancie

Living your best life in Ibiza Day Trip to Dalt Vita
I have to admit I was a little nervous. I had never visited Ibiza & have reached an age where clubbing is not top of my agenda. Just a short hop from the UK & we landed in sunny Ibiza. The island of Ibiza is known the world over for its idyllic beaches where waters of the Mediterranean lap on its stunning shores as well as for being one of the world’s top music destinations. The old town of Ibi

Weekend Break to Paris
We were late arriving into Charles De Gaulle airport so it was a bit of a sprint to the train station but we caught the last train of the evening into Paris. With just secondary school French grammar we found the staff & passengers in the metro to be really friendly & helpful. We were grateful that our hotel had a metro station right beside the entrance. The journey took around 45 minutes & cost
