Susan Dearing

Designer Travel Expert
Since December 2013
During my 20 plus years in the industry I have gained a wealth of knowledge working as a Travel Consultant. I have travelled extensively and visited many countries including Canada, USA, Majorca, Italy, Egypt, Turkey, Mauritius, Greece, Dubai, Scandinavia and Madeira. I especially enjoyed my skiing trips and the time that I spent in New York and Mickey‘s home state of Florida.
The product knowledge I have acquired over the years means that I can help you with a broad range of holiday options, from cruising the seven seas to short breaks, family or tailor-made holidays to worldwide destinations, overseas weddings and honeymoons and of course my all time favourite skiing!
I have recently been on a couple of cruises so have more extensive knowledge on this area of travel too which is becoming more and more popular
I thrive on making sure that I give my customers the best possible service and listen to their needs/requests so as to make sure that my holiday recommendations really hit the spot and are tailored to each individual.
As I work from home, I am contactable during the evenings and at weekends which many customers who work full time find particularly helpful.
I look forward to helping you to plan your holidays and to making sure it‘s all perfect for you.
