Lovely to meet you

I love everything about travel - the exploring new or much loved places, the landscapes, food, drink, history, culture, language, adventure, time with loved ones and the anticipation!

I have travelled a lot of the world and now love to do so with my family.  We return to UK/Europe to visit family but I also love the amazing places we have closer to home - the Pacific Islands, Australia and Asia.  I also love getting into the outdoors you can't beat NZ for that.

Planning holidays is my dream job - and taking the time to listen to your needs, make suggestions where needed and matching it all up with something that suits you and your budget is always my goal.

Having worked in travel for 20 years + in a range of roles including wholesale reservations, corporate travel and retail, you can rest assured you are dealing with experience.  I am friendly, responsive and efficient, and love to find good deals for my clients.

I really look forward to meeting and working with you.

    I keep returning to Italy, and every time has been amazing.  My most recent trip had the kids in tow and we balanced busy sightseeing with downtime in a dreamy Tuscan villa.
  • Samoa
