Josine Baines

Designer Travel Expert

Since January 2025

I‘m Josine, your Personal Travel Expert and I am passionate, bordering on obsessed with travel!

My travels started as a child with wonderfully carefree camping holidays in Europe. As an adult I have travelled widely - to India and China and I have a particular love of Africa having spent time in Egypt, Kenya, South Africa, Botswana (to see a total solar eclipse). I’ve also cycled the High Atlas Mountains in Morocco.

In my 30‘s I took a year off and travelled in North America, visiting every US state (apart from Hawaii) including Alaska and travelling across the vast expanses of Canada. My absolute highlight was seeing the Northern Lights and polar bears in Churchill, Manitoba.

More recently I have loved planning adventures for my family – Disneyland Paris, Summer activity holidays in the French Alps, beach houses on the Danish coast, and city breaks combined with beach are always a winner (Rome and Sardinia, Lisbon and the Algarve).

I love to research and put together itineraries for people – be it a complex itinerary to include the best adventures or a simpler holiday in a super location. If I haven’t visited somewhere myself, I will draw on the expertise of over 150 well-travelled Designer Travel consultants. I can work to most budgets and work with literally hundreds of hotels and tour operators.

There are no additional fees when you book your travel with me, but you will get my energy and enthusiasm and I will research and plan your holiday with the same enthusiasm as my own!
