Iguanas galore, sunbathing on the cycle path, then rays, fish and coral whilst snorkelling off Cozumel’s west coast. Idyllic and highly recommended.

No one ever needs reminding that Valentine's Day is approaching, but sometimes it's handy to have some ideas in the back pocket to suggest as a romantic treat in case you're not sure what gesture or surprise to offer ...

- Holiday vouchers for you to decide how to spend together
- A romantic weekend already booked as a surprise
- A pre-made itinerary written up with all your joint favourite things and then presented as a gift, ready to book as and when

Whatever you think is a good idea, I can help put it together.

On the other hand - if you're wanting to escape all of this - then why not contact me to plan an adventure of EPIC proportion? I simply can't wait; and neither should you.

Have you been thinking of exploring New Zealand for a long time? One of my favourite countries in the world!

Here is some extra inspiration to get you going again ...

After arriving to Auckland and enjoying a day or two there, you might then take a magical visit to the glow worm caves of Waitomo and onwards to Rotorua to experience the sizzling geothermal wonders of North Island. Hop on a flight to South Island for some heart-pumping fun—think glacier hikes or even helicopter rides, scenic drives, and an epic train ride through jaw-dropping landscapes. From Christchurch across to the west and down to Queenstown, then either taking a full circle route via Invercargill or sneaking a peak at glorious Mount Cook before reaching Dunedin, moeraki boulders and back round to Christchurch.
This self-drive journey has all the highlights you’ll want to tick off, with the extra bonus of it being entirely tailored so we can add stops along the way, or extend the fun with a few days in sunny Australia as you wish.

Getting excited? Let's start your planning today.

“As a born and bred Bangkok native, I can confidently say that every day is a good day to be in this city. There are always new flavours, experiences, people and cultures that you will be exposed to, regardless of the weather. For me, the priority is always food (and when it comes to Bangkok, there is so much of it!) With seasonal fruits, humble homemade curries, mouth-watering Michelin star street food and luxury rooftop dining - the options are endless!
I love Koh Lipe, and no Andaman Sea adventure is complete without a trip to the island. It’s perfect for those seeking peace without compromising on excitement, as this idyllic island is also home to a vibrant street and nightlife. I would recommend a visit between November and April for the best weather.
It’s hard to run out of things to do here, as you can hop on a long tail boat and explore the surrounding islands. Personally, a Thai massage while listening to the waves hitting the shore was all I needed!”

My passion. My life.

I believe that your travel arrangements, for leisure and business, deserve a lot more respect than staring at a screen and ticking a few boxes. After all, if your holiday's not right, you can't send it back!

Why risk your hard-earned money and precious time when I, as your personal Travel Counsellor, can take away all the stress and hassle? I can even save you money and I don’t charge for my services!

My unique approach to travel is so much more than getting my clients from A to B - it's about fulfilling dreams and creating special memories. From accommodation and flights to attractions and car hire; weddings and honeymoons to cruises and adventure; not forgetting your very important corporate travel needs.

I am your one-stop shop for personalised travel, where I get to know your exact needs and wants. It's this commitment to relationships, retention and referral that keeps my clients coming back again and again; year after year.
