Adele Hobman

Hello and welcome – thanks so much for taking the time to visit my page!

I’m Adele, your personal travel expert, based in the lovely village of West Ardsley, Wakefield in West Yorkshire. Designer Travel by Adele, is a business built on trust, repeat clients and recommendations, where my focus is always on delivering a truly personal, VIP concierge service.

Travel has always been my passion. With over 15 years in the travel industry, more recently a 20-year corporate role where my love and appreciation for luxury travel was developed. I’ve been lucky enough to experience some incredible destinations across Europe, the Caribbean and beyond – including multi-centre trips worldwide. Cruises hold a special place in my heart too; having sailed with a wide range of cruise lines over the last 25 years, I particularly love the smaller luxury ships, most recently with Silversea’s, Crystal, Explora Journeys and Seabourn where the service, atmosphere and attention to detail really stand out.

Work hard and rest easy has always been my moto! When I need to unwind nothing beats escaping for some winter sunshine in the Caribbean, as a Sandals Diamond-level member, I’ve holidayed on all the islands and the majority of their adult only resorts. In the late summer, Greece is favourite, whether island hopping or a lazy week in stunning Ikos resort.

I chose to join the multi-industry award-winning Designer Travel because of outstanding reputation, supportive culture, and commitment to excellence. As part of a growing network of over 190 self-employed travel experts, I’m proud to represent a company that is independent, offering access to over 400 trusted ABTA and ATOL protected suppliers and tour operators.

While I specialise in luxury trips, celebrations and bucket-list experiences, I believe “luxury” means something different to everyone. Whether you’re looking for a once-in-a-lifetime escape or a great-value package holiday with trusted operators like TUI, EasyJet or Jet2, I’m here to help you find the perfect fit.

The best part? It doesn’t cost you to work with me. All I ask is when I’ve found you your ideal trip, you confirm your booking with me. It won’t cost you more, in fact I could save you money over a retail travel shop, it’s certainly easier than booking yourself.

I have no set hours, I’m flexible, daytime, evening and weekends, I’m happy to work around you. Whether you prefer a call, email, video chat, or even a face-to-face catch-up locally over a coffee (or a glass of wine!), I’ll make the process easy, flexible and enjoyable.

I would be delighted to help you plan your next journey – whether it’s a spontaneous escape or a carefully curated experience to look forward to.
