Lynn Raper

Designer Travel Expert

Since June 2024

Hi I’m Lynn and I am an Independent Personal Travel planner based in Thatcham, near Newbury in Berkshire.

I’ll keep it brief and say that travel is my life, world, and passion!! Nothing makes me happier than when I am travelling and experiencing new places, countries and cultures or planning a trip of a lifetime (small or big, short haul or long) for my beloved friends and customers.

I am very lucky to have spent my whole working life in this fabulous industry, starting off obtaining a qualification in Travel & Tourism from one of the very 1st ABTA approved courses as well as an A level in Business studies at my local college. I went into retail travel, then corporate and retail travel as well as Foreign Exchange . I took a short sabbatical from my career at management level when I had a break to have my son! I returned back to the industry after a few years where I helped set up a brand-new travel agency, and finally settled at being my own boss and working for myself from home.

After 40 years in the business, I will be with you all the way from conception to birth of the most incredible life experiences you get from a holiday & adventure ! I have so many places that I love, so many places that I’ve experienced and many more places I can recommend to you. I am a specialist in selling Canada, USA, Australia and South Africa, with the knowledge and expertise of many more destinations. Honeymoons are my absolutely favourite to plan and I’ve had such much joy over the years in making so many people happy!

Let me help you spend your hard earned cash and turn it into the memories you will never forget………..
