Extraordinary
is personal.

Whatever making the most of life means to you, I get to know you on a personal level so I can create a bespoke itinerary, carefully researched and crafted just for you.

Memory-filled family holidays
Closeness-cultivating romantic retreats
Unforgettable, utterly indulgent honeymoons
Perspective-shifting, once-in-a-lifetime quests
Soul-nurturing off-grid escapes
Horizon-seeking sailing & boat-charter trips
Winter wonderland skiing & snowboarding stays
Immersive, culture-packed explorations
Bond-building group adventures

How it works.

Looking for help designing your next extraordinary travel experience? Here’s what to expect when you’re working with me.

  • Get in touch to arrange a face-to-face or online complimentary consultation, where I get to know you and your fellow travellers on a personal level to discover what extraordinary means to you.

  • If you decide to work with me, you’ll receive your own bespoke itinerary, featuring pulse-racing ideas, exclusive, under-the-radar suppliers, meticulously organised travel arrangements (including flight options), and thoughtful personal touches.

    Charging a design fee allows me to spend proper time creating a one-off itinerary based on extensive familiarisation and research, for a trip that will stay with you forever.

  • Take your time to review your itinerary and consider if it works for you. Then we’ll meet again to make any adjustments and discuss new ideas, so you end up with a dream trip that works perfectly for you and your fellow travellers.

  • Once you’re happy with your itinerary, hand all the organisation over to me. I’ll make all the necessary arrangements to ensure your trip is confirmed and runs like clockwork, with a few happy surprises along the way.

  • I’ll be available from the moment you set off until you return home to make sure everything runs as it should. Last minute delays or unexpected hiccups? Focus on enjoying your trip, while I fix arrangements in the background.

  • Even after your trip is over, receive travel inspiration and ideas informed by your personal travel profile – so you’ll never need to default to the same, predictable holidays again.

Why choose me?

Access the world’s most exclusive, under-the-radar suppliers and destinations. Receive a carefully researched itinerary, crafted just for you. Get the insight, assurance, and financial protection that comes from working with an expert. Make a difference by choosing independent suppliers that give back to their localities. And that’s not all…

  • It’s easy to get stuck in a travel rut. Discover ideas that get your pulse racing with access to the world’s most exclusive, under-the-radar suppliers and destinations. Plus, get preferential treatment and special benefits, thanks to my relationships nurtured over a decade in the industry and affiliations including Virtuoso, via my chosen partner 360 Private Travel.

  • Arranging a trip is complex and time-consuming, especially when you’re juggling the reality of day-to-day life. Save time at home, while making sure your time away is seamless and unforgettable, by letting me do the hard work for you – from researching and planning, to booking everything and coordinating your trip while you’re away.

  • It’s an ever-changing world and, now more than ever, travel plans can be impacted by things outside of our control. Get boutique service coupled with insight, assurance, and robust, fully bonded ATOL financial protection that comes from working with an independent, 360 Private Travel-registered travel designer backed by a team behind the scenes.

  • High-end tourism has great potential to benefit local communities and environments, but only when we travel considerately. Become a considerate guest in the destinations you visit by making mindful decisions based on insider knowledge about independent suppliers and travel providers that give back to their localities.

  • Some independent travel agents ask you to book flights, but one delay or cancellation can turn your holiday into a headache. Sit back and relax while I book everything on your behalf, then focus on enjoying your trip by handing over responsibility for ensuring your itinerary aligns – from flights, to transfers, to accommodation.

  • Making lifelong memories requires attention to detail. Be blown away by meticulous organisation from a professional event planner trained under the watchful eyes of the industry’s elite. While many travel agents specialise in a particular region, with me you get a global perspective – all thanks to my decade of international high-end travel experience.

  • “It was complex puzzle pieces that fitted together perfectly. Not your bog-standard itinerary! I thought I knew Sri Lanka well, until you planned our trip and it opened our eyes to a whole new area! Thank you!”
