Angela Perkins
Designer Travel Expert
Since January 2015
Are you a busy professional who lives for your holidays but dreads the planning?
Do you feel overwhelmed when it comes to researching and planning your precious down time and find it causes you more stress in the run up than it relieves by being on the actual holiday!?
Do you have that fear that the hotel isn‘t going to be right, the area isn‘t going to be great and everyone is going to look at you when things go wrong?
Maybe you spend hours researching, going round in circles not knowing if you're comparing apples with oranges, or consistently play it safe because you are worried about not having the best time - meaning you miss out on new and exciting adventures?
Would you like to have a complete travel concierge service and VIP experience at absolutely no extra cost to you?
To have all your travel requirements managed someone who understands not only the travel industry inside out, but also what it is like to work in a big corporate role and knows how important every single holiday is to you and your family?
If so, I can help
I am an Award Winning, experienced specialist with a passion for travel that knows literally no bounds. I work exclusively and privately clients who desire and deserve a seamless experience when planning and enjoying their hard earned breaks.
From starting in the industry aged 17 and working my way up to Head of Operations for the largest travel company in Australia I have also worked for Going Places and Airtours in the UK. I decided to set up on my own in the UK to have more flexibility for my family - and my own extensive travel. I can now work from anywhere and frequently do. I have a small passionate team who help support my clients and can deliver the most personalised, creative, imaginative holiday experiences for a select number of clients each year.
I wouldn't book you on a holiday I wouldn't go on myself. My standards are high, my experience vast and my attention to detail is spot on. It's the small things that make the big difference. Sometimes it's who you know when it comes to getting exactly what you want and I make sure you are well looked after anywhere in the world.
Whether you know exactly what you want and want me to give it that extra sparkle or are stuck for inspiration but know the vibe you want to create, I can help.
As well as working exclusively together on your brief, undertaking the research and delivering your holiday options we take care of all booking and travel arrangements from start to finish.
If 'book holiday' is permanently on your to-do list - send me a message!
