What are your favourite destinations to visit and why?
The USA holds a special place in my heart. It is one of the most diverse, dynamic and exciting destinations I have explored, and each visit has given me something completely different. From the soul-stirring sounds of the Memphis Blues Trail to the vibrant streets and jazz-soaked nights of New Orleans, there is a rhythm to the American South that you have to experience to understand. Then there's the energy of New York, the sun-drenched vibrance of Miami, and the Neon lit buzz of Las Vegas - each city offering its own unique vibe, culture and experiences. Of course, one of my most cherished memories is a family holiday to Disneyland!
What is the most amazing experience you have created for a client?
One of the most rewarding experiences I've created was designing bespoke bucket-list itineraries for clients exploring South America. These included three-week tailor-made journeys that combined the breathtaking Galápagos Islands with immersive cultural and natural highlights across the continent. Ecuador, Peru, and beyond. I co-ordinated every detail, from luxury Galápagos cruises to private guided tours, ensuring the trip flowed seamlessly while delivering once-in-a-lifetime memories. Another standout experience was curating an unforgettable family adventure across the USA. The trip wove together the magic of Disneyland, the awe of Niagara Falls, the vibrancy of NYC, and the excitement of Las Vegas.
How do you go above and beyond for your clients?
I enjoy planning my clients' travel as if it were my own, so that means being with you from the moment the quote starts until the end of your journey and beyond. I really pride myself on the service I provide for each and every client. For me, there is nothing more rewarding than hearing from your clients on the return of their dream holiday! I also feel passionate about sharing my knowledge with my clients and giving them insider tips on hidden gems and places they wouldn't normally think to visit.
What is your number one travel tip?
Go beyond the must-see attractions! Some of the most memorable travel moments come from authentic local experiences. Discover the real heart of the destination, whether it's through sharing a meal with the locals, exploring neighbourhood markets, or taking part in a traditional activity. These are the moments that will stay with you; this is where the magic happens. Plus, I always recommend to use an experienced travel advisor to make the most of your journey - someone who has experienced the destination and has the knowledge to tell you about the things you wouldn't know about.
