PERSONAL TRAVEL PLANNING
Your Journey, Thoughtfully Planned
A safari you have dreamed of for years. A European summer with your family. Time away to celebrate, discover or simply be together. It begins with getting to know you.
LET’S PLAN YOUR JOURNEYYOUR IDEA OF A WONDERFUL TRIP
The Places. The Pace. The People You Share It With.
You might love a full day exploring with a private guide, followed by dinner somewhere special. Or you may prefer one memorable experience and an afternoon with no plans at all.
We talk about what you enjoy, what you would rather skip and how everyone in your party likes to travel. From there, I bring the journey together around you, with the right balance of discovery, comfort and time to enjoy it.
Even the small details, such as whether you are a morning person or a night owl, help me create a vacation that feels right for you. Beautiful accommodation matters, and so do the distances between stops and the timing of each experience.
Let me take care of the logistics and details, so you have time to be present, enjoy each other’s company and create memories with the people you love.
HOW WE WORK TOGETHER
From First Ideas to Time Away
I guide the planning personally, working with trusted partners around the world. The approach depends on your destination and the kind of journey you have in mind.
01 · WE TALK
Start With a Conversation
Tell me who is coming, when you hope to travel and what would make the trip special. You can bring a clear destination or just a feeling. We discuss how I can help and agree on the next steps before planning begins.
02 · WE SHAPE THE JOURNEY
Bring the Details Together
I consider the route, accommodation, experiences and practical arrangements as a whole. We review the proposed journey together, refine the pace and make sure the choices feel right before confirming arrangements.
03 · THE SPECIAL TOUCHES
Make It Personally Yours
Through my relationships with exceptional hotels and travel partners, I seek out the extras that make your journey special. These might include room upgrades, spa credits, breakfast or champagne on arrival, where available, alongside thoughtfully arranged experiences and private transfers.
I confirm the agreed arrangements and double-check the details before you leave, so you know what to look forward to.
04 · YOU TRAVEL, I’M HERE
Leave Feeling Prepared
Before you go, we work through your itinerary and the details you need for the trip. While you travel, I remain available alongside our trusted partners on the ground. We confirm the right contacts and support arrangements for your journey.
THOUGHTFUL DETAILS
What Makes a Journey Feel Right
A Place That Suits You
The atmosphere, location and room arrangements matter as much as the view. I look for places that fit how you want to spend your time, whether that is an intimate safari camp, a city hotel or somewhere for the family to settle in.
Days That Flow Naturally
Travel time, guides, reservations and room to pause all shape your experience. I consider how one day connects to the next, so the itinerary feels enjoyable as well as exciting.
Care for Everyone Travelling
Different generations often enjoy different things. We consider shared experiences, individual interests and practical needs, creating time together while allowing everyone to enjoy the journey in their own way.

BEFORE WE BEGIN
A Few Things You May Be Wondering
What does working with you cost?
We begin with a conversation about how much you would like to spend, your priorities and the destinations and hotels you have loved before. I’ll help you consider the possibilities and make choices that put your investment towards what matters most to you. The planning approach and any applicable fees depend on the trip, and we discuss these before moving ahead.
Will my driver be at the airport if my flight is delayed?
When I arrange your airport transfer, I coordinate your flight details with our local partner so they can monitor changes and adjust your pickup. If a delay affects your arrival, I also liaise with the hotel about a late check-in and meal arrangements where possible. You’ll have the relevant contact details before you travel.
Which countries can you help me visit?
I plan journeys worldwide, with a particular love for Africa and Europe. We discuss the right destinations and seasons for you, along with relevant safety considerations. Wherever I have not personally visited, I work with trusted, vetted local partners who know the destination well.
Is using a luxury travel advisor more expensive than booking myself?
Not necessarily. I look at the value of the whole journey, from the right accommodation and well-planned logistics to preferred rates and VIP benefits where available. My experience helps you make informed choices, avoid costly mistakes and save time. We discuss the arrangements and any planning fees clearly from the start.
Do you take on lots of clients?
I work with a limited number of clients at a time so I can give each journey personal attention and provide 24/7 support while you are away. In your planning conversation, we can discuss the best season for your trip and availability in my planning calendar.
Will you take over my plans?
No. Planning is a collaboration. I listen to your preferences, share my recommendations and refine the journey with you. You stay involved in the decisions, while I take care of the logistics and details.
Can you plan for children, grandparents and different interests?
Yes. We consider the ages, interests and practical needs of everyone coming, from room arrangements and transfer times to shared experiences and time apart. The aim is a journey everyone can enjoy in their own way.
Do I need to know exactly where I want to go?
No. A season, an occasion or a sense of how you want to spend your time is enough to begin. Our first conversation helps us explore the possibilities together.
