Hi, I‘m Emma!

I live in Leicestershire with my husband and our three children, and travel has always been much more than just a job for me. It's something I genuinely love and feel incredibly passionate about. With over 20 years of experience in the travel industry, I've turned that passion into a career that allows me to share my love of exploring the world while creating truly unforgettable holidays for my clients.

Over the years, I've been fortunate enough to visit many incredible destinations across the globe, experiencing different cultures, discovering beautiful places and gaining valuable insight into what makes a holiday truly special. One destination that will always have a special place in my heart is the USA. From its vibrant cities and breathtaking landscapes to its fantastic family-friendly experiences, I never tire of discovering everything it has to offer.

As a mum of three, I know first-hand how precious family holidays are and how important it is to find a trip that everyone can enjoy. Whether it's creating magical memories with the children, taking some well-deserved time to relax, or discovering somewhere new together, I believe holidays are about so much more than simply visiting a destination. They're about the experiences you share and the memories you create along the way.

I also understand that everyone's idea of the perfect holiday is different. For some, it's relaxing on a beautiful beach. For others, it's an action-packed family adventure, a romantic escape, an exciting city break, or the freedom of exploring multiple destinations. That's what I love most about my role: getting to know my clients, understanding what matters most to them, and creating holidays that feel completely personal.

I specialise in family holidays, bespoke tailor-made itineraries throughout Europe and worldwide, city breaks, cruises, and much more. Whether you have a clear idea of where you'd like to go or are simply dreaming about your next adventure, I'm here to help bring those ideas to life. From finding the perfect family resort to planning an unforgettable USA road trip, a once-in-a-lifetime cruise, or a bespoke multi-destination itinerary, I'll take care of every detail to make the planning process as enjoyable and stress-free as possible.

I believe your holiday should be as individual as you are. It should reflect your interests, your dreams and your budget, with every detail thoughtfully considered. My aim is to provide a truly personal service, expert advice, and a genuine passion for making your next adventure unforgettable.
