LynleyI really do have a passion for travel especially visiting new destinations.
I very rarely spend my holidays at home. I'm usually on a plane with husband Mike - suitcases over packed as usual.
We enjoy being active on holiday - walking 800 kms across Spain on the Camino, biking through Latvia and Estonia.
I equally enjoy a good beach holiday such as Santorini, Fiji and Queensland.
We also manage to fit in visiting children and grandchildren in London, Hong Kong and Sydney.

I have travelled to over 40 countries and I am always plotting what's next - however, the more places I experience, the longer the longer the list gets! I love the anticipation of a new adventure and learning as much as I can from every new journey. I am a self-described travel enthusiast, so being able to talk travel every day and share my passion for travel is a dream come true. I love helping people realize their travel dreams and being able to live vicariously through experiences.
Getting to know my clients and learning what's important to them is something I really enjoy, and helps when creating an itinerary that's is as unique and as special as the traveler.
There is nothing more satisfying to me than a client popping in after their journey with tales to tell of the adventures they've had. I love hearing peoples stories and experiences as every experience is so different - there is no universal truth or one size fits all option when it comes to travel!
For me travel is inspiring and transformative - it allows you to learn more about the world around you, and in the process, more about yourself.

Travel fuels my soul, the experiences, the opportunities, the culture, the adventures, I have been lucky enough to have a career that is a labour of love. Planning holidays with a high degree of skill, attention and knowledge has become my trade mark.
I absolutely adore planning epic family trips, luxurious holidays alongside organizing a lot of corporate travel business as well. I also travel a lot, as often as I can so I have up to date first hand experience in so many areas. This has given me the skill and experience to share with my clients and ensure they also come away with travel experiences second to none. I work with a large referral business and I do require appointments to fully assess what is going to be right for you and start planning your holiday.
