Designer Travel Expert

Since December 2023

 Hi, I‘m Annette. I'm based in Manchester, with over 30 years of working in the travel industry.

I am extremely passionate about travel, whether it’s planning my own next adventure or someone else’s. I strive to exceed expectations and I use my knowledge from personal experiences and feedback to make your dream holiday a reality.

I have been very lucky and traveled the world extensively to many destinations I have personal experience of that I will happily share with you to make your trip perfect including Thailand, Bali, Malaysia, USA, Caribbean, Egypt, Morocco, Tanzania, , Mauritius, Iceland and pretty much most of Europe to name a few!

Being self-employed I am not tied to set office hours - I will work around you including being available when I can be at evenings and weekends. This isn't just for new bookings but also for after you have booked and even when you are away I am on hand for any problems that arise.

I don't just specialise in a specific area or type of holiday I can book almost any tour operator to anywhere in the world from skiing to safari, a family aqua-park holiday to luxury adults only, cruise or rail holiday, self-drive independent trips to fully escorted tours, You name it and I can do it! I care what I book you and don't just offer the best priced deal, I really listen and find the best holiday for you individually. I want you to return year on year for your next trip and recommend me to your friends and family.

My best piece of travel advice is to be brave and leave your comfort zone, travel, travel should be about trying something new.....
