Val Tanner
Designer Travel Expert
Since May 2026
Hello, I’m Val.
I live in a lovely Essex village near the Suffolk and Cambridgeshire borders. Throughout my career, I’ve helped people find the right solutions by listening closely to their practical needs and what matters most to them.
Travel has always been my passion. Over the years, I’ve explored many places around the world with family, friends, and fellow travellers. Each trip has brought unique memories and shown me that every holiday is different. Whether you want a luxury escape, a special celebration, a family adventure, a golf break, a wellness retreat, or just some well-earned relaxation, I’d love to help you plan your perfect trip.
What I enjoy most is getting to know my clients. I believe the best holidays begin with a good conversation. By learning what excites and inspires you, and what you want from your time away, I can help create a holiday just for you.
When you book with me, you get personal service, expert support, and someone who truly cares about every detail. From your first ideas to the moment, you return home, I’ll be there to help at every stage.
Some of my travel highlights include:
• Taking an unforgettable seaplane flight over Sydney after persuading a pilot to take us on his final flight of the day
• Exploring the Great Barrier Reef
• Celebrating a special birthday in Northern Italy with family and friends
• Enjoying wonderful food and beautiful countryside in the Cotswolds
• Climbing Dunn’s River Falls in Jamaica
• Watching my beloved Arsenal play at Camp Nou in Barcelona
My love for exploring our amazing world is as strong as ever. I may travel a bit more slowly these days, but I still believe in making the most of every experience, and always taking time to enjoy a good coffee, especially in Italy.
My favourite travel quote:
“We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us.”
I’d love to help you plan your next adventure.
