Tracey is well-travelled and has a host of first-hand knowledge to share. However, she understands that what clients want from their travels can differ greatly. As such, she listens carefully to her clients, asking questions to find out what their idea of the perfect holiday is and then makes it happen.
She loves cultural experiences and off the beaten track adventures. Passions that have seen her sitting on the bank of the River Ganges in Varanasi, India, drinking a cup of chai tea while watching the world go by, and marvelling at the breathtaking beauty of Iceland. In fact, Iceland, which she describes as “like nowhere else on Earth”, is her favourite destination so far and she’s visited over 60 countries. If your travel dreams are similar, be sure to speak to Tracey about planning your next adventure.
Her many travels have resulted in a treasure trove of sage advice that she is happy to share with her clients. From tech-savvy suggestions, such as buying a local sim so that you have wi-fi on long travel days to using Google maps to navigate public transport. She also reminds clients not to over pack, especially in Europe, where you will want to fill your suitcase with souvenirs. For avid foodies, she also recommends being adventurous and eating with the locals, as it can often be the tastiest food you’ll find on your trip.

Get to know me
What are your favourite destinations to visit and why?
'Porto in Portugal is such a beautiful cultural city that feels safe and is easy to get around in. India was one of my favourite places - it was a sensory overload, in a good way! Prague would be my third favourite especially at Christmas time with the snow and the Christmas markets.
What is the most amazing experience you have created for a client?
'I crafted a Scandinavian Christmas family trip which included swimming in the Secret Lagoon in Iceland, taking a rail journey on the Flam Railway in Norway, then visiting the traditional Tallinn Christmas Market in Estonia, before spending Christmas at the Arctic TreeHouse in Rovaniemi complete with husky sledding and snow mobiles!
Why do you love travel?
Whenever I travel, I always come back feeling like a different person. It enriches me, I learn so much and every single holiday stays in my memory. I am so grateful for the travel experience I have had, and travel will always be something I’m passionate about.
How do you go above and beyond for your clients?
I do everything possible to ensure that my clients have a smooth trip. Whether it is restaurant recommendations or booking private transfers, I am here to answer all questions you have regarding your trip. I am a very detail-oriented person, so I’ll go out of my way to make sure everything goes as planned for your trip.
