Abi Hyslop

Recruitment & Development Manager

Designer Travel Expert

Since July 2021

Hello, my name is Abi and I’m based in the West Midlands. I chose travel as my career over 24 years ago and have gained a wealth of experience in various roles such as worldwide cabin crew for British Airways, relationship manager for a luxury tour operator and head of leisure for an independent travel agency.

Travel is not only my job but my absolute passion and I am a true Wanderlust. I’ve experienced over 50 countries so far and love seeking out new cultures, experiences and adventures. Some of my personal favourites include;

*Cycling over the Golden Gate Bridge

*White water rafting in Sri Lanka

*Eating freshly caught seafood right on the beach in Mauritius

*Getting lost in the souk in Marrakech followed by trekking in the Atlas mountains

*Sampling exquisite wines in South African vineyards and excitedly waking up early for an exhilarating morning game drive in the Eastern Cape

...plus many, many more.

Every holiday experience is unique and I love nothing more than working with you to ensure we create a trip that is unique and perfect for you. I’ll be on hand throughout, right from the initial planning through to asking all about your trip on your return. Whatever type of holiday you are looking for, I would love to share my knowledge and recommendations with you.

Thank you for taking the time to read my page and I look forward to hearing from you very soon.
