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.

Whether you're dreaming of a walking or cycling holiday, adventure expedition, a sunny secluded beach, a culture indulgence trip, cruise, wellness, sports trip, your wedding or honeymoon, or a slow, purposeful journey — I help you with your itinerary as if it were my own. With a personal concierge approach, you’ll feel supported every step of the way — VIP all the way, always.

Let’s chat — by phone, WhatsApp, email, video call, or even over a cup of tea if you’re nearby. However you like to connect, I’d love to hear from you.

Let’s plan something wonderful together. Your next travel chapter awaits!

Vicky was very helpful in understanding our needs and guiding us. We have two children who we haven't travelled with much and don't really know what to expect whilst going on a long haul flights. She gave us lots of advice and helped us find the perfect option.

Yet again, our travel consultant, Vicky, has been outstanding and has gone the extra mile at every stage of our holiday preparations. Firstly, her patience and desire to understand our holiday requirements, followed by her absolute determination to find the best holiday options for us has been remarkable. We are thrilled with the itinerary Vicky put together for us which takes account of my family’s varied interests and makes best use of our time away – she has found something for everyone. The personal service we have received has been second to none, with Vicky even contacting our holiday hosts to get some local knowledge about the best places to eat, drink, shop etc. She has thought about everything and totally taken away the stress of booking holidays. Thank you Vicky - can’t recommend you highly enough and look forward to our next trip with you.

Perfect Puglia

24 May 2024

I knew I’d fall in love the moment I arrived! Travelling to Puglia with my son Dan had been long on the list. We stayed in a wonderful B&B a stroll from the waters edge with our local host Cesare… the steep 3 flights of stairs up to breakfast on the roof top each day allowed a sensational morning view of Monopoli, more than worth the climb. With a packed in itinerary, in my usual fashion it was
