With us it’s personal...

Hello….Thank you for taking the time to read this and getting to know me a little better. My name is Laura, though most call me LJ and I’m based in beautiful Devon. I provide a wide range of bespoke travel services as an independent Travel Counsellor.

You've found me because you are looking for someone who loves to plan amazing and thoughtful itineraries, who is as enthusiastic as you are about your holiday and has the experience and expertise to put it all together for you. Most importantly, I’m here to support you, every step of the way.

My background as a PADI Diving Instructor has taken me to many beautiful destinations, including Mexico, Thailand, the Caribbean and Indonesia, as well as my own personal travel adventures to Australia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Dubai and many European cities to name a few. Some highlights include diving with Whale sharks, hanging out with sloth in Costa Rica, meeting acid attack survivors in India, cruising from Singapore to Southampton, seeing Orangutan in Borneo, learning Spanish in Guatemala and sky diving in New Zealand. From my years as a Travel Expert on the high street in London, I was able to take a safari in Kruger National Park, travelled overland from Deli to Kathmandu and road tripped San Francisco to LA and Vegas. I have also worked onboard Royal Caribbean cruise ships in their Shore Excursions department where I had many adventures and made some amazing memories, so it’s no wonder that I have a travel addiction. With all of these experiences behind me, I’m passionate and eager to help you with your travel plans, no matter how big or small.

What is so very important to me is our relationship. Consider me your new Travel bestie! I believe that you want that extra value that you can have by booking with me. Someone who is committed, listens to your needs and will save you time and unnecessary stress. I work hard to deliver exceptional service with a fun and friendly outlook, focusing on including authentic experiences, value for money and making honest and genuine suggestions to your itinerary. I run my own business, which you are at the heart of. I’m flexible, there for you when you need me, so no call centres or getting passed around. I have amazing worldwide destinations, memory making packages, local knowledge and the latest technology at my fingertips. Plus, I’m impartial, so I can build a tailored itinerary around your needs only.
