Your adventure, your way!

Hi there!

With over 20 years of experience in the travel industry tailor making holidays for anyone and everyone from family holidays to honeymoons and loads more besides I’m the best person to help you plan your perfect trip!

I have been privileged to have the opportunity to visit every continent including both polar regions and have experienced the world in all styles imaginable, from overland camping trips, high altitude trekking, cruises to high end luxury and everything in between, I’ve been fortunate to experience it all.

I started my journey in travel when I spent 3 years working on cruise ships in 2003. During that time I was fortunate enough to sail everywhere in Europe from the Mediterranean to the Baltics, the Norwegian fjords and even to Svalbard! I spent a few months sailing the Caribbean, I crossed the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, visited many Pacific islands, like Fiji and Bora Bora. I circumnavigated South America twice, transiting the Panama Canal and even sailed up the mighty Amazon river as far as Manaus!

My time at sea convinced me that working in travel was right for me so when I finished working on cruise ships I found my way in to the travel industry and have been making people’s dreams come true ever since!

I have continued to travel myself since I returned home and have had many spectacular and varied trips over the last 20 years. My real passion however is for wildlife and some of my favourite trips naturally enough have been to Africa, particularly South Africa, Kenya and Tanzania while I have also had the privilege of trekking with Gorillas in Rwanda. Apart from Africa I’ve seen Komodo dragons in Indonesia, penguins in Antarctica and most recently trekked in the Himalayas in India to see snow leopards.

It’s not just wildlife experiences that I travel for and I have travelled extensively in Asia to India, Thailand, Cambodia, Nepal and Indonesia. I’ve gone down under to Australia and New Zealand, I’ve trekked the Inca Trail in Peru and I’ve explored parts of the USA from New York to California and Alaska.

That’s enough about me, I want to know more about you because when I’m creating your holiday the only thing that matters to me is what matters to you. One thing I have learned over the last 20 years is that no two people are exactly alike and two holidays to the same destination can and should like entirely different depending on who the holiday is for. This is where my vast experience comes in to play to ensure that I’m getting to know what makes you tick so that I can create your holiday just for you!

My guarantee to you is that I will provide unbiased, personalised advice and I will leave no stone unturned in creating your dream holiday.
I pride myself on attention to detail and making sure that everything works seamlessly so that you can enjoy your holiday, safe in the knowledge that I’ve got everything covered.
In addition to my own expertise you will also have the security of booking with a fully licensed and bonded company which means the investment on your holiday is in the safest hands.

I would be honoured to create and book your next holiday. We can meet in person, have a phone call or video call. The choice is yours!
Drop me an email and we will schedule a time that suits you.

I would also love to connect so feel free to follow me on social media, my links are under the get in touch section!

I look forward to speaking to you soon.
