Hi, I’m Sarah—thank you for taking the time to read my page.

I live in Nottinghamshire with my son Jack and our dog, Rocky. We share a love of travel and enjoy all kinds of holidays, from cruising and skiing to sunshine escapes and camping adventures.

My passion for travel began at just 14, when I helped my dad plan our first family holiday abroad. I was completely inspired by the experience, and from that moment on, I knew travel would be my future—and it truly has been.

I started my career as a Travel Consultant at 16 and have since gained over 30 years of experience in the industry. My journey has included roles such as a Children’s Rep in Majorca, managing high street travel agencies, working as a Regional Manager for a well-respected independent travel company, and most recently, Business Development Manager for an Asia specialist. I’ve loved training teams to deliver exceptional customer service and helping businesses grow, but I’ll be honest—I’ve missed working directly with customers.

That’s why I’m here now: returning to what I love most, with a wealth of experience and a genuine passion for creating unforgettable holidays.

I’ve been fortunate to travel extensively across Europe, the Caribbean, Asia, and the USA. Highlights include a solo adventure through Thailand—an unforgettable experience that deepened my love for culture and exploration—and a fantastic trip to United States, including Florida and the beautiful beaches of Clearwater.

Over the years, I’ve helped plan everything from weddings and honeymoons to family holidays, ski trips, city breaks, tailor-made itineraries, cruises, UK getaways—and even magical trips to see Santa (yes, he’s real!).

This isn’t just a job for me—it’s who I am. Nothing makes me happier than helping others create lifelong memories, explore new cultures, and truly live their best lives.

My favourite quote: “To travel is to live.”

If you’d like my help planning your next adventure, please get in touch—I’d love to be part of your journey.
