know your specific needs, and tailoring every trip based on personal experience and a deep understanding of travel.
What brings you joy? I absolutely love it when clients contact me while they’re actually on their holiday to tell me how amazing it is. One client even messaged me from a Jacuzzi in St. Lucia – it made my day!
Something people don’t know about you.
I’m a huge tennis enthusiast – I play regularly at Thrapston Tennis Club – and I’m a devoted Bruce Springsteen super fan!
Who inspires you? Travel writers like Paul Theroux, Bill Bryson, Levison Wood, and Simon Reeve. I’ve been lucky enough to see Levison and Simon in person a few times!
Perfect destination for a family with young children? Beaches Resorts in the Caribbean offer everything a family could want for a perfect holiday. Closer to home, the Hillside
Beach Club in Fethiye, Turkey, is a hidden gem. How much time do you spend away? I aim for at least three holidays a year, with a record
of six!
Four top tips for travel
1. Invest in some noise-cancelling headphones.
2. Savour every moment. Embrace the culture of
your destination, and try the local cuisine.
3. Not every holiday needs to be to a hot
destination!
4. Whether it’s exploring a new culture, ticking
off a bucket-list destination, or just recharging – make each trip count.
Money no object – where do you go? I’d start
in Churchill, Manitoba to see the Polar Bears, followed by an unforgettable cruise around the Galapagos. After all that adventure, I’d fly by private jet to Necker Island in the Caribbean to relax in style!
