How about two holidays in one?? .. more memories.. that's what life is all about! X

10/08/2024

Hi everyone, I have been a little quiet lately..let me explain why...

Covid really affected the travel industry and myself and many other homeworkers especially...the after effects have made many of us question if this is still the right job for us ...well I am excited to say I've managed to find a balance that works for me ... my passion for travel is second to none but I was struggling working at home alone all the time post covid so I really had to dig deep and think what was right for me.

I now have a lovely job in a fabulous local school but I am still a TC part time... I wanted to be honest with all my clients but I wanted to wait until I knew if it would work juggling the two and after a few months of working hard I am now confident I am able to do both.

I am working less hours on travel but I am committed so please keep passing my name on to friends and family.. but don't worry if I don't reply straight away it just means i'm at work at the school.... I will come back to you as soon as I can and let you know honestly if I can help or not.. and then I will dedicate myself to finding you a lovely holiday or planning the perfect tailor made trip.

I have 25yrs experience in all aspects of travel from being a rep on the ground, contracting, wholesale, retail and a vast personal travel experience and would love to help you.

The best way to contact me is to drop me an email:
[email protected] and I'll reply as soon as am able to

Im going to start posting an offer here and there but I can help with anything from cruise to family hols in the med, lakes and mountains, city break, tailor made, long haul or trip of lifetime

I look forward to hearing from you ...
