Lovely to meet you

Hi, I’m Namrata — a travel consultant who genuinely cares about your time, your budget, and your hopes for that memorable holiday. I love turning travel ideas into something real and unforgettable. For me, building an itinerary is like solving a puzzle — shaped by your interests, personality, and sense of adventure.

I’m research-driven and love digging into the details that make a trip special. Whether it’s tricky airfares, island-hopping cruises, or crafting meaningful family journeys, I’m here for it.

Travel is never one-size-fits-all, and I look forward to discovering your unique travel style.
Every trip starts with a good chat — let’s start there.

My favourite holiday memories

  • New York
    Namrata Patel New York

    There’s a reason I keep going back to New York. It’s one of my favourite places to get lost in — not just physically (which has happened! ) but for the buzz, the people-watching, and all the random little moments that just seem to happen in New York. The energy is unlike anywhere else. Fast, raw, and electric, yet somehow deeply engaging. From cycling through Central Park’s winding paths, to playing in the fountains of Battery Park, to watching the city glow from the Staten Island Ferry, every corner buzzes with possibility. I have loved wandering DUMBO’s cobbled streets with skyline views that stop you in your tracks, grabbing a slice at Grimaldi’s, or just standing still in Times Square, surrounded by a thousand stories in motion.
    New York’s not polished or perfect in any way, it’s real — and that’s what makes it unforgettable.

  • India
    India Namrata Patel

    India is home — but every time I return, I discover something new. My recent journey through Rajasthan was deeply moving: from staying in a palace to wandering the historic lanes of Udaipur and Jaipur, soaking in the richness of culture, colour, and history. A day in Bagru learning the ancient art of block printing was a quiet reminder of the craftsmanship woven into everyday life. India fills your senses — and somehow, always fills your heart too.

  • Vietnam
    Vietnam Namrata Patel

    Vietnam is a total sensory overload — in the best way. Bustling streets full of vendors, scooters weaving past like it's choreography, and the smell of strong coffee everywhere. I loved the energy in Hanoi — the shopping, the chaos, and hopping on a Vespa just to be part of it. Hoi An completely coloured my heart with its amber coloured homes, glowing lanterns, and the markets filled with art & craft, ceramics and some genuine leather goods! Halong Bay was the perfect contrast — peaceful, still, and such a good reset after the buzz of the cities. Vietnam is a heady mix of bustling streets, breathtaking views, story worthy history, food & bucket load of charm.

What my customers have to say

  • Thank you Namrata for pulling together such an amazing awesome itinerary for us to California. Pulling together the itinerary with you felt like a real team effort, you took the time to understand what we were wanting from our holiday and gave us loads of suggestions and ideas to take our holiday plan next level. You really helped create our once-in-a-lifetime family holiday :) We also got caught up in the LA wildfires and you were a very calming influence helping us with finding alternative accommodation with very little notice as we were evacuating. Thank you so much Namrata, we are looking forward to planning our next adventure with you!
