Love travel, hate planning? I’m here for you!

If you’re like most people, you dream about travel far more often than you actually get to do it.

You scroll through Instagram, save TikToks of dreamy destinations, and maybe even pin a few itineraries to your Pinterest board. But then reality hits, because planning a trip is a whole job in itself!

From finding the best flights and comparing hotels to juggling activities, transfers, and travel insurance, the excitement quickly gets replaced by stress.

That’s where I come in. I’m an independent travel agent who loves all the parts of holiday planning that you probably hate. The research, the price-hunting, the coordination, the double-checking – I thrive on it. And the best part? My service won’t cost you a penny. I don’t charge a planning fee. I get paid by the airlines, hotels, cruise lines, and tour providers I book with on your behalf.

So if you want to see more of the world but DON’T want to spend your precious time organising the logistics, let me show you why working with me could change the way you travel forever!

Saving hours of your life

Planning even a simple getaway can eat up hours of your week, especially when you’ve got to consider the preferences and requirements of everyone you’re travelling with. If you’ve ever gone down the rabbit hole of comparing hotel reviews or trying to decode airline pricing, you know how quickly “I’ll just look for 10 minutes” becomes “where did my evening go?”

A 2023 survey found that the average traveller spends 30+ hours planning a single trip. That’s nearly an entire workweek! Imagine what you could do with that time instead if I took all that off your plate. I can research the best options, cross-check reviews, and create an itinerary tailored to your needs. You’ll just get a smart, stress-free plan that you can say yes to without it taking up hours of your time.

Deals you didn’t know existed

Many people assume booking directly online is the cheapest way to travel, but this isn’t always the case. As a travel specialist I have access to industry-only platforms and consolidator rates that aren’t available to the public. This could be flight or hotel prices, or a bonus perk such as free breakfast, a room upgrade, or resort credit.

What about the finer details you might forget?

You’d be surprised how many travellers overlook the small but crucial details, like:

• Airport transfers – Who’s picking you up when you land at midnight in a new city?
• Travel insurance – Do you know if your policy covers medical emergencies abroad or any activities included in your itinerary?
• Visa requirements – Will you be turned away at the border because you didn’t apply in time?
• Flight connections – Did you accidentally book a layover that’s too tight to make?

I provide you with all of this information so you don’t have to think about it. I truly believe that travel should be about the adventure, not about sweating over where you should be and when. With me, you can rest assured that every detail has been handled, and you’ll get a clear itinerary to keep you on track.

You’ll have a real person in your corner

Online booking sites are great until something goes wrong. A cancelled flight, a lost booking, or a sudden change in plans can quickly become a nightmare if you’re stuck on hold with an overseas call centre that doesn’t know you from Adam.

When you book through me, you’re not just a number. I’m your advocate. If something unexpected happens, I’ll be the one to call the airline, rearrange your hotel, or find you an alternative. You don’t have to waste hours navigating it alone – you’ve got someone with knowledge, connections, and persistence on it for you.

A trip that is truly tailored to you

Off-the-shelf itineraries can be good, but they don’t always reflect your personal style of travel. Do you love boutique hotels but hate large resorts? Do you prefer a balance of guided activities and downtime? Do you want to avoid tourist traps and experience local gems?

Whatever your vibe, I will take the time to get to know your preferences, then design a trip that is tailor-made. It’s not about squeezing you into a pre-set package, it’s about creating something that feels effortless and personal.

You don’t pay me a penny

This is often the thing that surprises my potential clients the most: my services are completely free to you and all you will pay for is the cost of the holiday itself. Travel suppliers (like hotels, cruise lines, and tour companies) pay me a commission when I book with them. It doesn’t raise the cost of your trip, it simply means they’re rewarding me for sending them clients.

So instead of spending hours planning on your own, you get an expert planner for free. It’s one of the rare win-win situations in life!

How I can help you with real-world travel planning scenarios…

The family trip: You want a break that works for kids, parents, and maybe even grandparents. I’ll find family-friendly destinations and experiences ensuring you have family or adjoining rooms, and have a combination of activities that keeps everyone happy.

The honeymoon: You deserve 100% romance and 0% travel anxiety. Wedding planning takes up a lot of time and emotion so having someone in your corner who knows how amazing you want your honeymoon to be is exactly what you deserve. No matter the style of honeymoon you want, I’ll take care of all aspects from flights to transfers to special touches so you can just enjoy your first trip as newlyweds. I'll even throw in a little wedding gift! 

The bucket-list adventure: Safari in Tanzania? Northern lights in Iceland? Road-tripping across the US? Even an Antarctic cruise? These once-in-a-lifetime trips deserve careful planning, and I’ll ensure every detail is thoughtfully handled.

The solo holiday: You want to push yourself out of your comfort zone, but still feel at peace while you’re away. I can support you before, during and after your break so you never feel totally isolated.

Why use me instead of DIY booking sites?

You could book on your own, just like you could cut your own hair or fix your own tap. But sometimes, it pays to let a professional step in. Here’s why clients stick with me:

• I don’t just spit out search results, I filter my recommendations based on your preferences.
• I offer a truly stress-free service. You simply send me your wish list, and I handle the rest.
• Travel is unpredictable. I’ve got your back if and when things change and you need a helping hand.
• From upgrades to hidden deals, I can find ways to make your money stretch further.
