Your Independent Travel Designer

I’ve always loved finding out what’s around the next corner. From months in South America to interrailing across Eastern Europe, it’s the variety that keeps me curious: remote landscapes, lively cities and places I hadn’t expected to love.

Home is rural Devon with my family. I love the quiet, but I’m equally happy exploring a city. For me, a wonderful holiday has room for both discovery and comfort, with time to enjoy where you are.

When I plan your holiday, I start by getting to know you. What sparks your curiosity? What does comfort mean to you? And how do you want to spend your time?

Then I bring together the places, experiences and thoughtful details that suit you, drawing on specialist knowledge and local insight. With a personal concierge service from our first conversation until you’re home, you can relax knowing everything is in hand.

You bring the curiosity.

I’ll take care of the details.

Whether you’re imagining a tailor-made journey, a river cruise or a small-ship adventure, I bring your ideas together into a holiday that suits you, with extraordinary places, the comfort you love and time to enjoy it all.

I work with trusted travel specialists and destination experts to find the right experiences, places to stay and ships to explore aboard.

From choosing your room or cabin to arranging smooth connections and preparing for your arrival, I take care of the details that make your holiday feel effortless.

How It Works

●

Dream

We start with a proper conversation about what you love, what you’re curious about and how you like to travel. Bring your ideas, or let me introduce you to somewhere new.

Plan

I find the right route, places to stay or cruise for you, then bring together the travel arrangements and experiences. We refine it together, with your comfort and enjoyment at the heart of every choice.

Travel

Before you go, I make sure you’re prepared and the details are in place. While you’re away, I’m on hand to help, so you can relax, explore and enjoy your holiday knowing you have someone to turn to.
