Hello and Welcome

My travel experiences help me design your adventures and tailor them just the way you want them! There's nothing better than hearing all about your trip when you return. Travel is my passion and I have been fortunate to work in this wonderful industry for 26 years. I have travelled extensively and I’m able to share my experiences with you. Based in Chipping Campden and with cust

omers from all over the UK and even overseas, I offer a personalised service. I will ensure that everything is just right and runs smoothly, always here to help from our initial chat until you return home and beyond - something the internet travel companies just can’t offer! I am not tied to any other travel company, I will always offer impartial advice and I am free to recommend the best option that’s only ever right for you and your budget! With me you are never tied to high street opening times, I’m here when you need me including evenings and weekends. Cruising is one of my favorite holidays and has led me to sail on some of the world’s great ships including Cunard, P&O, Royal Caribbean and Celebrity and quite recently river cruising on The Danube. I also love the USA and Canada; I have been to many of their great cities and some wonderful places such as Yosemite and New England. My brother and his family live in Australia and I’ve been to visit many times, stopping off at a number of different countries along the way. During the winter, I like to escape the British weather, feel the sun of the Caribbean, the Gambia or the soft white sand in the Maldives and Sri Lanka. I loved the atmosphere in Rio, Egypt, Dubai and South Africa too, not forgetting the culture and sights of The Far East. What about a skiing holiday with family or friends, sailing around the Greek Islands or even trekking through Tibet and Nepal. Let me know and I will arrange it. I have arranged honeymoons, weddings and civil partnerships abroad. Ask about the gift registry complete with your own webpage. Arranging your holiday couldn't be easier; think of me as your ‘personal concierge’. I can help with everything travel related including airport parking, visas and even restaurant reservations. What is really reassuring is that every penny of your trip is protected with ATOL and the Travel Counsellors Trust. It’s the best financial protection under the sun! Get in touch and let’s see where our conversation takes you!

After a frantic 24 hours rebooking my customers and rearranging their travel plans via the Middle East I am pleased to say my last two customers are re-booked on flights back home on the 3rd March.

Remember when you book with a professional, you are in safe hands and I will always have your best interests at heart, Will I ever be the cheapest? No, but I guarantee you a first class service and be here 24/7. "You cant put a price on that!"

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share a quick update with you about some changes coming to travel in Europe.

From 12th October 2025, the European Union is introducing a new Entry/Exit System (EES) for anyone visiting the Schengen Area. This will replace the old passport stamp system and make it much easier for border authorities to track the 90 days in 180 rule.

Here’s what it means for you:

On your first trip into the Schengen Area, you’ll have your fingerprints and a photo taken at the border kiosks.

For the next three years, if you return, you’ll only need to give a fingerprint or photo.

There’s no cost, no forms, and nothing you need to do in advance.

Ireland and Cyprus aren’t part of Schengen, so this won’t affect travel there.

It’s a good idea to allow a bit of extra time at the border, especially in the early months while things bed in.

And just a reminder—overstaying beyond 90 days in 180 will now be much easier for authorities to spot and could lead to penalties.

It’s nothing to worry about, but it’s worth knowing so there are no surprises at the airport. Oh, just a heads up, during the transition period (around six months) you may still get a stamp in your passports!

Warm regards,

Merv

Hi there,

Are you — or is someone you know — planning a trip to the USA soon?

Just a quick heads-up: the ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorisation), which is required for travellers under the Visa Waiver Program, is going up in price at the end of September. Right now it's $21, but it'll soon be $40.

An ESTA lasts for two years, so if you or a friend are thinking about heading to the States, it could be worth applying before the fee increase kicks in.

If an ESTA application is denied, only the $10 processing fee is charged - but the traveller would then need to apply for a full US visa instead. It’s always a good idea to check your passport and entry requirements into the USA are met before you confirm your booking.

Safe travels,
Merv
