If the thought of planning a trip brings on more stress than excitement, you’re in the right place. I help travellers swap overwhelm for beautifully simple, meaningful holidays.
I lived in South Africa for decades, which shaped my love for travel that feels authentic and grounded, not rushed, not generic, and definitely not “one size fits all”.
Tell me what you’re dreaming of, and I’ll bring it to life with thoughtful details, local insight and support from start to finish. Think of me as your travel-loving friend who happens to know exactly how to put a great holiday together

Because planning a trip shouldn’t feel complicated and here’s how we make it easy
A relaxed chat where we explore your ideas, must-haves and what you’re hoping your holiday will feel like
I’ll design a trip that reflects you, the pace, the experiences, the accommodation and the little details that make it special.
I handle all the logistics: flights, hotels, transfers, timings and trusted partners. Everything is checked, organised and looked after.
Before you go, I’ll talk you through local etiquette, logistics and tips. While you’re away, you’ll have me as your direct contact — think of me as your travel PA.
I believe travel can be unforgettable and make a positive difference. From supporting locally owned stays to choosing community-minded experiences, I help you explore the world in a way that feels good for you and good for the places you visit.
