Things my clients have said to me in recent weeks:

Time passes by and we haven’t got anything booked

I have no brain power to sort it out myself

We find it hard to get the balance right with young kids

I find holiday planning overwhelming and stressful

I get anxious going to new places

I feel the pressure on me and hate the stress of organising holidays

We’ve had a look ourselves but don’t know where to start

I need help with the decision making process

We usually holiday in the UK and haven’t gone anywhere exotic for decades

I can’t find what I’m looking for online

We weren’t keen on what the other travel agent offered us

We’ve been talking about it since August and still haven’t booked anything

The last travel agent I used was flakey and useless


If you feel the same way, I’m here to help!

When it comes to touring Japan there’s lots to consider: sightseeing routes, day trips, reading directions, restaurants, the language, onsen etiquette, train travel including luggage forwarding and more!

Imagine how much more likely your trip is to be a success if it’s planned by people with expert knowledge of these things because they have all studied or worked in Japan. Imagine then receiving a comprehensive itinerary and information pack written by them.

My clients visited Japan in October and had the trip of a lifetime! They said the trip content was fantastic, much better than if they had organised it themselves. When you ask for expert help, your holiday experience is enhanced. I work with companies who specialise in Japan and who I trust to deliver amazing holidays to my clients.

Together we simplify holidays to Japan, remove the overwhelm and save you hours of research.

If Japan is on your wish list, I’d love to help create you the trip of a lifetime!

I’ll be at The Belle Bridal LOVE&LUXE Wedding Show at Rudding Park, Harrogate, Sunday 2nd February 2025, 12-3pm

Come along to discuss all things honeymoons!

This is particularly special for me as I got married at Rudding Park in 2014 so I can’t wait to come back and share my passion for travel with brides to be.

I plan dream honeymoons with a completely personalised approach. All the stress and overwhelm is removed as I take care of all the details for you!

If you want to tick off bucket list adventures then I can make it happen. From African safaris to Finland’s Northern Lights, Japan’s bullet trains to elephant trekking in Thailand, I work with couples to create an unforgettable honeymoon using top suppliers ensuring a seamless stress-free trip.

My work doesn’t end after the honeymoon is booked. I’m on hand for couples right through until their return providing a full concierge service including flight check-ins, restaurant reservations, excursion booking and requests for little extras.

If you know an engaged couple, please share my details and if they are local to Harrogate they might want to come along to Rudding Park on 2nd February!

Clients pick me to be their family holiday organiser because I have kids and therefore understand your needs.

Don’t want dawn flight times, I get it!

Don’t want to fly at midnight, me neither!

Prefer kids to have separate sleeping space, me too!

Kids club, if only mine weren’t kids club refusers!

Short transfer, this is ideal!

Prefer proper beds over a sofabed, I hear ya!

Car seats for the transfer, bring your own or I can request!

Kids food options, yep beige buffet here!

Short flight time, 5 hours is my limit!

Kids pool/slides/playground, the more to entertain the kids the better!

You want a balance so you get a piece of luxury too.

I understand all of these requirements. I go through the same dilemmas and compromises when choosing my own holidays. When my boys are older we’ll be more adventurous but for now we’re in our beach/pool/icecream era and that’s okay! I’ve got a list up my sleeve for future years and we shouldn’t wish away time. There’s plenty of time to zip line in Costa Rica, husky sled in Lapland and safari in Tanzania.

Whatever age your kids are I can help you choose the perfect family holiday taking care of all the details so you can relax and enjoy spending time together without any stress or hassle of organising.

15/12/2024

You simply can’t visit Vietnam without casting your eyes over UNESCO World Heritage list Halong Bay.

It’s approximately 2.5 hours by road from Hanoi, or a two hour flight from Ho Chi Minh City, so can easily be incorporated into many itineraries. It’s exceptionally scenic throughout the year, although officially has two main seasons: hot with sporadic rain from April to October, and cooler from November to March.

By far, the best way to see and appreciate this nautical world wonder is to cruise around the islands aboard a junk boat or boutique ship. This also allows you to visit one or more of the floating villages, usually by a smaller bamboo or rowing boat, for a glimpse of traditional life.

Almost all of the islands are uninhabited and several boast beautiful grottos and caves while the waters are host to coral reefs, freshwater swamp forests, mangroves, small lakes and sandy beaches, with countless places to swim, fish and kayak.

Sample Vietnam itinerary:

📍2nts Hanoi
📍1nt Halong Bay Cruise
📍2nts Hue
📍2nts Hoi An
📍1nt Can Tho
📍1nt Mekong Delta
📍2nts Ho Chi Minh City

Ask me about incorporating a luxury journey on The Vietage Train into your itinerary!

If you want to visit Vietnam but don’t have the time or headspace to research it, why not outsource the planning and have a seamless stress-free trip booked for you?

The Lapland Minefield

I can save you hours of research by helping you decide which is the right Lapland trip provider for you.

Maybe you don’t want to be on a coach with 60 people

Maybe you want to know about options that don’t involve dancing or singing elves

Perhaps you don’t want activities all crammed into one day

Maybe you want to stay somewhere remote in the wilderness

Perhaps you want to know which is the most snow-sure place to go

Maybe you need help figuring out how to get there and what the options are for direct or indirect flights

If you’re a big family you might want to hear the options for larger accommodation with more space

Some of you will want to hear about the option to visit Lapland as a day trip flying out and returning on the same day

Maybe you want to know about luxury accommodation options

Perhaps you’d prefer a la carte dining over buffet food

These are all choices I’ve helped my clients navigate in recent weeks

I work with the Lapland companies you see advertised and it’s my role to help you navigate the options and make the right choice for your family. You don’t have to pay me, whichever company I book your trip with pay me so you don’t have to. Then you have me to ask all your questions to and to take care of all the admin. Should a storm mean your flight gets cancelled like it did last weekend, you’ve got someone to call to help sort it out at no additional cost to you!

Choice overload? Decision fatigue?

Clients come to me because they are overwhelmed with choice when they browse the internet. They tell me they don’t have hours to scroll looking for the perfect hotel.

Asking me for help saves you hours of time. I know which are the good hotels and I can also call upon my destination expert suppliers for advice. Instead of having 100s of options in front of you, I’ll give you a shortlist having done the leg work for you!

If you don’t have time to do the research yourself and/or you’re feeling overwhelmed with choice, please get in touch and I’ll be delighted to help.

Why not consider Namibia for a completely different family safari experience?

Namibia offers an affordable self-drive safari option for the whole family.

Imagine driving along open roads, with very little traffic enjoying incredible scenery!

Don’t worry because we can plan your route, book your accommodation and provide directions, spare wheels, mobile phone, cool box etc.

If driving isn’t your thing, we can arrange a driver/guide or you can see Namibia by flying between areas. Perhaps you’d rather travel as part of a small group, a sociable way to see Namibia.

Expect to see mountains, canyons, dunes, rock art, wetlands and iconic wildlife such as lion, cheetah, giraffe and the black-faced impala.

Start in Windhoek then drive to Sossusvlei to have family fun on the sand dunes. Next stop is Swakopmund where you can enjoy the beach, ride a fat bike, sand board on the dunes, kayak with the seals. Continue on to Damaraland to see the rock carvings and desert-adapted elephants. Finally head to Etosha National Park for safari. Spend time at the waterholes observing the wildlife. Return to Windhoek via Okonjima to see big cats.

When you ask for my help planning your safari, I remove the stress and overwhelm and save you hours of time researching. I am known for delivering experience-rich memorable holidays and all my clients receive VIP service.

Montenegro is a small mighty nation rising in popularity amongst holiday makers.

I visited in 2013 when it wasn’t really on the tourism radar. The last few years have seen an increase in flights from the UK, new hotels and improved infrastructure.

The Bay of Kotor is a popular spot for tourists as is Budva. Tivat is growing in popularity too. We visited all of these spots as well as Lovcen National Park, Perast, Herceg Novi and Lake Skadar.

There’s still time to experience this hidden gem of a country before the crowds.

My clients loved their stay at The Chedi LuĹĄtica Bay earlier this year

All photos on this post are from our trip in 2013.

If you’d like help planning a trip to Montenegro get in touch. I love to help you get off the beaten track and have a really immersive experience!
