✨ A Little Introduction to me as a Travel Advisor

Luxury travel doesn’t have to mean expensive. It’s about thoughtful curation, beautiful experiences and travelling at a pace that is right for you.

As a travel advisor, I believe the best journeys aren’t simply the places we visit, but the memories we pack and take back home.

My approach to travel is simple…

I’m an intentional traveller. I love discovering unique hotels, wellness escapes and places that offer something a little different.

I do appreciate a beautifully considered itinerary, but I also believe in slow mornings, spontaneous discoveries and leaving room for the unexpected.

Who I plan travel for isn’t complicated…

Whether you’re travelling solo, as a couple, with family or navigating the world as a neurodivergent traveller, your holiday should reflect you.

As a mum to a child with special educational needs, I bring lived experience and an understanding of how much thoughtful planning can transform a a holiday experience.

🤍 Why book with me?

Because I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all holidays and it’s just about perks and upgrades. I plan meaningful holidays and escapes that suit your needs so they become memorable experiences you’ll cherish.

Feel free to message me to start planning.

TRAVEL TIPS I ACTUALLY FOLLOW…The Essentials

These are some of the main habits that have stuck…the small things that make a real difference to me when travelling = less stress

💁🏾‍♀️I avoid short flight connections. Missing one because luggage took forever isn’t worth the risk.

💁🏾‍♀️AirTags go on every checked bag, always.

💁🏾‍♀️A change of clothes lives in my carry-on, no exceptions.

💁🏾‍♀️ Passport pages are copied and left with family, just in case.

💁🏾‍♀️I email the concierge ahead of time with allergies or must-haves. So they have ample time to make reasonable adjustments.

💁🏾‍♀️Seats are pre-selected so we sit together as a family.

💁🏾‍♀️ Kindness to the cabin crew goes a long way.

💁🏾‍♀️ I always follow local customs and respect the law, wherever I am.

💁🏾‍♀️And above all… I stay PRESENT! Travel is a privilege, and I want to remember it that way.

None of this is groundbreaking. It’s just what actually works for me trip after trip.

Travelling soon? Consider these tips. 🩶

Planning a long weekend in the UK? Check this out …

The sun is out and you’re thinking of planning a long weekend….Check out these places and skip the crowds.

SOUTH
Roseland Peninsula, Cornwall: fishing villages, quiet coves, and none of the St Ives chaos. Just a short drive from the tourist trail but a world away from it.

Man O’War Beach, Dorset: a steep footpath keeps the crowds out. Mix of sand and pebbles, clear shallow water, and Lulworth Cove nearby if you want to explore further.

Steephill Cove, Isle of Wight: no cars, no arcades, footpath access only. Exactly what the British seaside should feel like.

NORTH
Bamburgh, Northumberland: one of my favs! wide empty sands, a 12th century castle, and views across to the Farne Islands. Even on a sunny weekend it stays quiet.

Robin Hood’s Bay, Yorkshire: cobbled streets, craggy cliffs, and a fraction of the crowds you’d find in Scarborough. Sits on the Coast to Coast walking trail too.

Saltburn-by-the-Sea, Yorkshire: Blue Flag beach, Victorian pier, iconic cliff lift. Proper seaside without the chaos.

WEST
Rhossili Bay, Gower Peninsula: three miles of golden sand consistently rated one of the best beaches in the UK. Remote enough to stay uncrowded.

Llŷn Peninsula, Wales: 100 miles of quiet coastline, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and beaches that feel like they haven’t changed in decades.

EAST
Southwold, Suffolk: beach huts, a working lighthouse, an award-winning pier. Quietly brilliant and far calmer than you’d expect on a sunny weekend.

Holkham Beach, Norfolk: vast, pine-backed, and consistently one of the emptiest stretches of sand in England. Bring a picnic and take your time.

Walberswick, Suffolk: tiny village, unspoiled beach, and the kind of place people are reluctant to share. Now you know!!

Save this for when your planning a long weekend getaway to the beach. DM me if you need help sourcing accommodation.

Solo travel for women…safe & easy countries to start with.

If you’ve been thinking about your first solo trip and don’t know where to start, this one’s for you.

Safety and ease matters but so does feeling genuinely welcomed. These five countries consistently deliver both.

Ghana 🇬🇭
Warm, and one of the most welcoming countries. Ghana wraps you in community from the moment you land. For women of the diaspora especially, it’s more than a holiday. It’s a homecoming.

Singapore 🇸🇬
Spotless, safe, and so easy to navigate it almost does the work for you. World class food, a melting pot of cultures, and streets you can walk alone at night without a second thought.

Portugal 🇵🇹
Very safe with warm locals, walkable cities, and an African diaspora community in Lisbon that makes women of colour feel genuinely at home. Affordable, beautiful, and endlessly welcoming.

Ireland 🇮🇪
English speaking, famously friendly, and the kind of place where a stranger becomes a friend over one conversation. Solo travel here rarely feels solo for long.

Iceland 🇮🇸
Extremely safe, dramatic landscapes, and a culture where solo women travellers are completely unremarkable. In the best possible way of course!

Where are you starting? Or message me and I’ll help you plan it properly.

Controversial things I do as a travel advisor….

I turn away clients.
I steer you away from trends.
I don’t chase flash sales.
And if I wouldn’t buy into it myself, I won’t sell it to you.

Because designing trips that are authentic, intentional, and actually right for you matters more to me than the booking.

Bring the same energy and we’ll get on just fine. 🥂

Planning a trip with activities? Read this first.

Not every trip needs an itinerary.

A short city break, a quiet weekend away, you’ll be fine without one.

But if you’re covering multiple regions and experiences? The flow matters more than almost anything else. More than the hotel. More than the flights.
This is where most trips fall apart.

THE MISTAKE: trying to cover too much!!
❗️What looks like a dream route on paper becomes long transfers, constant packing, and arriving everywhere just long enough to leave. 🥴
❗️What looks close on a map can take hours to reach.

Costa Rica, East Africa, Southeast Asia….catches people out every time.

WHAT WORKS
• 2 regions max. 3 if you have real time.
• Think in zones, not checklists.
• 3–4 nights per base (one night is just transit with a bed).
• One slow day for every busy one.

Accept you won’t see everything. Experience over coverage. Always!!

The difference between exhausting and restorative isn’t the destination. It’s the planning.

Save this or send me your dates. I’ll help you get the flow right.
