My love of travel began as a child, exploring the world with my family. I've since spent 36 years helping customers plan their holidays and still get a buzz from creating truly personal trips. The best part? Seeing the photos and hearing their stories when they return home. My idea of a perfect holiday combines touring around with a few days by the sea, which is why Africa, Asia, Australia and the Indian Ocean remain firm favourites.

I've been lucky enough to live in Australia and New Zealand, giving me firsthand insight into two of my favourite destinations. I enjoy helping customers find experiences that go beyond the ordinary, whether that's an epic road trip, an unforgettable landscape or a hotel that's every bit as memorable as the destination itself. And I’ll always recommend experiences led by locals, to hear about places from the people that live there.

Some of the best travel memories come from slowing down, exploring at your own pace and making unexpected discoveries. I love helping customers plan the big trips they've always talked about, combining memorable experiences with the right balance of adventure, relaxation and discovery. That's the approach I like to bring to my own holidays and every holiday I plan, whether it's a safari, a beach escape or a special celebration.

Holidays for me used to be about chasing adventure, but these days I'm just as happy exploring somewhere new at a slower pace and seeing the world through the eyes of my two children. After 20 years helping people discover new places, that balance of discovery and downtime is something I bring to every trip I plan, helping customers find holidays that suit them, their interests and the way they like to travel.

Travel hooked me early. After taking my first flight on my own at 12, I caught the travel bug and never looked back. 25 years on, I still get excited about helping customers turn an idea into a holiday, especially when it involves Africa, tailor-made adventures and unforgettable moments you talk about for years afterwards. I'm always looking for new destinations to explore, with Canada topping my travel wishlist.
