Hi, I am Michelle, an independent personal travel advisor. Over the past 32 years I have been fortunate enough to travel to some amazing places all round the world, which has enabled me to pass on my first hand experience and knowledge of many destinations. I love nothing more than spending time finding customers their perfect holidays and I aim to provide a personal and bespoke service by matchin

g individual travel requirements to the right travel products. Everything from family holidays, couples only, cruises, independent travelling, city breaks, luxury travel, staycations and much more. After studying travel & tourism at college I pursued my dream and joined the travel industry, where I stayed for 21 years working mainly in the conference and incentive and business travel sector. After taking a break to raise our 3 lovely children I am so excited to be back in the industry I love and on this new exciting journey with an amazing team at Designer Travel. My children have also travelled extensively since they were 3 months old, and already have been to some pretty amazing destinations from hotels and villas in Spain, Cyprus, Portugal and Greece, to all inclusive in Maldives, Mauritius and extensively around the Caribbean. I also have a wealth of personal experience of travelling with children with autism, ADHD and additional needs. Some of my personal travel highlights so far include:-

Staying at Tiger Tops Jungle lodge and bathing the baby elephants
Swimming with the manta rays in the Maldives
Renewing our wedding vows on the beach in St Vincent & the Grenadines
Feeding the orphaned orangutans in Borneo
Seeing in the new Millennium on South Beach Miami
Exploring the Vatican City
Partaking in a charity fun run over the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco
Magical Christmas adventures with the children in Lapland
Driving through the Stellenbosch winelands and sampling some amazing wines. Dining at the Cotton House on the island of Mustique. So many amazing and beautiful places so far, and yet I still have an evergrowing bucketlist of destinations!
