It's Nice To Meet You
I’m Vicky — your personal travel concierge and passionate travel expert.
One of my favourite quotes is, "The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page." That line has always spoken out to me and is one I like to remind others of.
My love for travel began in childhood, spending blissful days on the beach in Tenby — to little me, it felt like another world entirely. Since then, the travel bug never left me. It’s led me down the most beautiful paths, filling my heart and soul with unforgettable memories.
From cycling solo through the colourful rhythms of Cuba, to mother-son moments in Tasmania — eating fresh oysters on Maria Island and sharing space with friendly wombats and curious possums. I've learned ceramics in charming Monopoli and had the joy of meeting the oldest resident of the magical Trulli in Alberobello. I’ve driven through the dreamy Douro Valley in a camper van, trekked the mighty Annapurna, and road-tripped across the USA with my daughters by my side. Cruised Europes Rivers and Oceans, Hiked many paths and walked on many beaches across the globe.
I've explored 39 countries (and counting!) and each adventure has been a chapter in the most beautiful story — one I want to help you begin or continue, too.
These days, I split my time between the rolling hills of Cheltenham in the Cotswolds and the calming sea breeze of Hannafore in West Looe — two places that bring me so much joy. I share life with my three grown-up children, my sweet dog Dixie, and Tommy the three-legged cat who always keeps things interesting!
With over 35 years in the leisure and hospitality industry, my heart truly lies in creating experiences that feel thoughtful, joyful, and just right. I’m here to offer you not just my expertise, but my wholehearted care in crafting travel that’s meaningful, exciting, and uniquely yours.

With a personal concierge approach, you’ll feel supported every step of the way — VIP all the way, always.
