Since May 2023
Hi, my name is Debbie & I live in Bournemouth, Dorset with my husband & two daughters. My passion for travel started at a very young age whilst growing up in South Africa, where I dreamt of travelling the world, visiting exotic countries as well as experiencing different foods & cultures. Having completed my Travel & Tourism course, I became an inbound tour operator promoting South Africa. From the stunning beaches & winelands in Cape Town, the picturesque Garden Route to the famous Big Five in the Kruger National Park.
At the age of 21, I moved to London where I worked for a corporate travel company, organising travel for various international banks and government sectors such as the Department for International Development. I spent my weekends & holidays exploring countless European cities as well as further afield places such as Mauritius, Egypt, Jordan, Morocco & India, to name but a few.
My dream came true when my husband & I put on our backpacks and for 15 months travelled the world exploring the breathtaking Angkor Wat & Buddha Temples in Asia, Ayers Rock & Sydney Bridge in Australia, scuba diving in Fiji, Volcanoes in Hawaii, Machu Picchu & Easter Island in South America, Las Vegas & the Grand Canyon in North America, to Safaris & Table Mountain in South Africa. In total we covered 5 continents & 25 countries! These 15 months enabled me to have first-hand knowledge and to share my experiences with others who love to travel.
We moved from England to Dubai where we lived for 7 years. Raising our girls in Dubai during this time enabled us to explore the UAE extensively, and to visit nearby countries including Oman, Qatar, Sri Lanka, Zanzibar, Maldives & the Seychelles.
We are now back in the UK where I am very excited to join Designer Travel & share my knowledge & experience of this beautiful world that we live in. Designer Travel is fully bonded and only uses travel suppliers who hold either ATOL or ABTA protection. This means every holiday or flight booked by myself is financially protected. Since Designer Travel are truly independent, it means I have access to the very best deals and will be able to find you amazing options from villas to 5* luxury hotels, city breaks to long haul destinations, beach holidays to skiing and everything in between.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss plans for your next trip, please give me a call or send me an email. It would be my pleasure to help you build an itinerary for an unforgettable holiday.
