# Hi, I’m Sarah – thank you for taking the time to visit my page.
I live in Nottinghamshire with my son, Jack, and our dog, Rocky. We love exploring the world together and enjoy all kinds of holidays, from cruising and skiing to relaxing beach escapes and camping adventures.
My passion for travel began when I was just 14 years old. I helped my dad plan our first family holiday abroad, and I was completely captivated by the excitement of choosing the destination, organising the trip, and seeing it all come together. From that moment, I knew I wanted a career in travel—and more than 30 years later, I still love helping people discover the world.
I started my career as a Travel Consultant at the age of 16 and have been fortunate to enjoy a wide variety of roles throughout the industry. My journey has taken me from working as a Children‘s Rep in Majorca to managing high street travel agencies, becoming a Regional Manager for a respected independent travel company, and most recently working as a Business Development Manager for an Asia specialist. I’ve loved mentoring teams, delivering exceptional customer service, and helping businesses grow, but I’ve always missed the personal connection that comes from working directly with customers.
That’s why I’m so excited to be doing what I love most again—using my experience, knowledge, and genuine passion to create unforgettable holidays tailored to each individual.
Over the years, I’ve been lucky enough to travel extensively throughout Europe, the Caribbean, Asia, and the USA. One of my favourite experiences was travelling solo around Thailand, where I fell even more in love with different cultures and the joy of exploring somewhere completely new. I’ve also enjoyed wonderful trips across the United States, including Florida and the stunning beaches of Clearwater.
Whether you're planning a once-in-a-lifetime honeymoon, a family holiday, a luxury cruise, a ski adventure, a tailor-made itinerary, a city break, a UK escape, or even a magical trip to visit Santa (yes, I still believe!), I’d love to help make it happen.
Travel has never been just a job to me—it's who I am. There’s nothing more rewarding than helping people create lifelong memories, discover new places, and experience everything the world has to offer.
**My favourite quote:** *"To travel is to live."*
If you're thinking about your next adventure, I'd love to help you plan it. Please get in touch—I can't wait to be part of your journey.
