Life is a collection of moments and memories.
Both planning your travel and the journey itself should be enjoyable. I find joy in working with travellers to build holidays that are perfect for them.

With over 20 countries
visited and four group tours under my belt, I understand just how impactful a
well-planned journey can be. Each trip has given me new insights—not only into
different cultures and places—but also into what truly makes a travel experience
memorable.
I genuinely enjoy the planning process: mapping out itineraries, uncovering
hidden gems, and making sure every detail is just right. It’s this same
thoughtfulness and enthusiasm I bring to every trip I help design. Whether it’s
a relaxed escape, a cultural deep dive, or an adventure-filled group tour, my
goal is to create travel experiences that are exciting, seamless, and tailored
to you.
When I’m not travelling, you’ll usually find me being a proud (and slightly
crazy) dog lady—spending time with my three dogs and competing in dog agility.
My love of animals flows into my travel values too, and I’m a big believer in
travelling ethically and responsibly, with care and respect for local
communities, cultures, and wildlife.

For over 20 years, I’ve had the incredible privilege of helping people explore the world. From weekend getaways to once-in-a-lifetime journeys, I’ve sent travelers to every corner of the globe—each trip teaching me something new and deepening my passion for travel planning.
What I love most is working with people to craft experiences that go far beyond just itineraries and bookings. Whether it’s a romantic escape, a family adventure, a cultural deep dive, or a soul-searching solo trip, I take the time to understand what matters most to you. Together, we create meaningful, memorable journeys that you’ll carry with you for a lifetime.
In the past few years, the travel landscape has changed dramatically. Flight disruptions, evolving health regulations, and new requirements have made things more complicated than ever. But with experience comes adaptability. We've become experts at staying ahead of the curve—navigating changes with confidence, keeping you informed, and ensuring your plans stay on track no matter what.
My goal is simple: to take the stress out of travel so you can focus on the joy of discovery. From the moment we start planning to the moment you return home, I’m here to make your experience smooth, enjoyable, and truly unforgettable.
Travel might be more complex today—but that’s exactly why having someone in your corner makes all the difference. Let’s plan something amazing.
