Celebrating 20 Years of “The Travel Architect “A Journey of Dreams

Last week marked 20 years since I started “The Travel Architect “ - a milestone I’m so proud to celebrate. It’s been two decades of crafting unforgettable journeys and turning travel dreams into reality for so many wonderful clients.
Back in 2004 my vision was simple: to create bespoke travel experiences that were personal and meaningful. Over the years, this little business of mine has grown into something much bigger than I imagined, thanks to my passion for travel and the incredible trust of my clients.
I’ve also been very fortunate to travel to some amazing destinations on a work and personal basis - Africa and especially safari becoming my favourite type of holiday now !

A Journey of Memories
The past 20 years have been a whirlwind of adventures—both for me and for the countless people I’ve had the joy of working with. From luxury cruises to family holidays, safari experiences,every trip I’ve planned has been as unique as the people who inspired them.

Awards
I’ve been honoured to win the “Best Homeworker in Scotland “ award 5 times as well as some other coveted UK awards

Thank You for the Adventure
To my amazing clients, thank you for your trust, enthusiasm, recommendations and love for exploring the world. You’ve made this journey unforgettable.

Looking Ahead
As I celebrate this milestone, I’m excited about what’s next. There are so many more places to discover, and I can’t wait to keep creating memorable journeys for my clients
Here’s to 20 years of adventures and many more to come!

With best wishes for a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays in the future
Fiona
