Designer Travel Expert
Since May 2025
Hi, I’m Kim!
I’m a mum to three lively little boys, and we live on a farm in rural Nottinghamshire — where I’m often found herding a child in one direction and a pony in the other, all while planning dream holidays for my wonderful clients!
Before becoming a travel specialist, I spent many years working as a Personal Assistant to Managing Directors in top corporate firms. From organising high-pressure business trips to coordinating complex family holidays, I quickly discovered not only a love for travel planning — but also a talent for keeping things running seamlessly behind the scenes. I’ve handled everything from booking tricky itineraries around the world to last-minute travel hiccups, and I now use those same skills to craft stress-free, joyful getaways for my clients.
I have always loved travelling myself too and have visited lots of beautiful places. A few of my favourites include Cuba, Barbados, Skiing in the Alps, the South of France, road tripping through Europe, Menorca’s unbeatable beaches with the children and last but not least - my favourite Meganissi - my all time favourite Greek island - one not many people have even heard of!
Why book with me?
- When you book with me, you’re not just a number — you get truly personal 1-to-1 service. From our very first conversation to 24/7 support while you’re away, I’ll be your dedicated travel PA! I’ll take care of every detail, and if they’re are any hiccups, I’ll be right on the phone to sort it.
- All bookings made through Designer Travel are fully protected with ABTA and ATOL bonding, giving you complete peace of mind that your hard-earned money is safe.
- I’m a big believer that well earned holidays should be joyful, memorable, and — most importantly — stress free! And I make that a reality for my clients.
Travelling with kids?
As a family of five, this is my speciality! I understand the unique challenge of planning a holiday that keeps everyone happy — and still allows you time to relax. I love helping families create those magical, memory-making trips that actually feel like a break. I’ll share tried-and-tested tips, handpicked family-friendly resorts, and thoughtful touches that make all the difference. Feeling rested after a family break IS possible!
That said, family travel isn’t my only area of expertise , whatever type of trip you’re dreaming of, I’ll plan every step with knowledge and care. Regardless of your budget, I know how to add that extra sparkle — from room upgrades and private transfers to hidden gems and special experiences. Through my own travels — and with the combined knowledge of the incredible Designer Travel team — I have access to a wealth of insight on destinations, resorts, and experiences. Whether it’s a beach break, ski trip, cruise, city escape, Disney adventure, or something else entirely, I’ll tailor your trip to fit your exact needs and wishes.
