What year did you start in travel?

1999

What's your favourite destinaton?

It has to be Orlando, Florida. Over the last few years, we have travelled here twice, it's true what they say, it's so magical and captivating it becomes addictive. The first year we visited myself and my husband actually got married there. Did you know I planned our whole wedding abroad myself in just under 5 months? It was beautiful and everything we had dreamed of. A beautiful intimate ceremony just outside Orlando for just us and our son. We've stayed near Universal Studios which was amazing and the second time we stayed in Celebration which is nearer to the Disney parks and Kissimmee area. During both our holidays we experienced all of the Disney and Universal Theme parks and water parks, and we also hired a car to give us some extra flexibility so we headed out to the beach at Clearwater which I can highly recommend, the beaches there have the brightest white sands I've ever seen. We love everything about Florida, the sunshine state really does deliver with its array of theme parks, shopping mall, and dining options there is something to suit everyone. I know it can be a little overwhelming when planning your dream holiday to Florida from which area to stay , where to buy your theme park tickets to the ins & outs of car rental charges. As I've experienced all of this personally myself if you would like any help planning your next holiday to Florida or anywhere in the world, please give me a call and I can take the stress out of planning your next dream holiday.

What's your favourite hotel?

My favourite hotel so far would have to be The DoubleTree by Hilton at the Entrance to Universal Orlando. This is the hotel we stayed in back in 2018 when we got married in Florida. The hotel is a large hotel, our room was huge, but the location is perfect especially if you want to be able to walk easily into Universal and leave the car at the hotel. Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure and Universal City Walk are all just a short 5-minute walk away, you even get to use a smaller security clearance area, so you beat all of the mad queues at busy times which was a fantastic bonus and time saving benefit for us! the hotel is immaculate in every way and the staff and hotel concierge work 24/7 to make sure you have everything you need to make your holiday a memorable one, they even managed to find me a local florist at short notice to arrange all of our wedding flowers. I've been incredibly fortunate over the years to stay in some beautiful hotels across the world which I'm always happy to share my personal experience with my customers. This hotel will always be a special hotel for us as a family as it was part of such a special holiday for us.

My dream holiday is

Singapore and Australia are somewhere I've dreamed of visiting since I started in the travel industry over 20 years ago. I would love to stop off via Singapore and either stay or visit the incredible iconic Marina Bay Sands Hotel just to take a selfie and take in the sights and atmosphere of the famous roof top pool. I would love to take in as many areas of Australia as possible including Sydney and Cairns, the gold coast looks amazing too though so I think I may need to go for a full month which would be nice. I would love to visit where they film Home and Away as I've watched this show since I was a little girl and always wanted to live in Summer Bay! you can do location tours here which look fantastic so it's definitely something I'd like to experience if I'm going all that way.

My last holiday was

To the majestic island of Mauritius. I was fortunate enough to be able to experience both sides of the Island and sample the benefit of staying in two of the most stunning Sun Resorts Hotels. It's hard for me to pick a favourite as both hotels and both sides of the Island have something to offer everyone from a romantic couple's luxury getaway , a solo traveller or energetic adventurers dream with all of the possible excursions available where the local people and their wealth of knowledge will show you the very best sightseeing spots on the Island to a family fun filled holiday in the sun. I stayed at the 5* Long Beach Resort in Belle Mare this chic and vibrant hotel calls out for high spirited families and couples with a passion for both energetic times and time for relaxing, I really enjoyed the morning sunrise wake up yoga session down by the beach. The second half of my holiday was spent at the 5*Sugar Beach Hotel which is on the west coast, this hotel offers luxury accommodation and a splendid spa, the hotel has an array of restaurants and bars including the famous beachside Buddha Bar which has the most amazing cocktail menu and the best sunsets you'll get to see in Mauritius. If you would like to know more about all of the hotels I visited during my time in Mauritius or the excursions I took part in, please give me a call and I'll be happy to share my experience of Mauritius with you further. 

My next holiday is

To the South Hams area of Devon , we always stay in the beautiful seaside town of Salcombe, I love it! we always try to have our staycations here. Salcombe has something for everyone and everything we like from the great British staycation.  Beautiful beaches, long coastal walks , a wonderful choice of restaurants, wine & local gin bars and not forgetting the traditional waterside British pubs oh and plenty of Ice creams for the kids! 


Our next holiday abroad will hopefully be to Dubai, it's somewhere we've all wanted to go now for a long time, and I can't wait to experience the glitz and glamour of what Dubai has to offer. Myself and my family love a beach holiday so something near to The Palm or Jumeriah Beach is a must for us but will include plenty of trips into the city area of Dubai to experience all of the shopping malls and let's not forget the iconic building Burj Khalifa. I've already been recommended plenty of restaurants to try in Dubai close by and we are real foodies when we go on holiday so it's exciting to be able to experience the culture of what Dubai can offer. As a personal travel agent, I have access to many personal recommendations and contacts across the world because we want our customers to have the very best experience, they can so we are always happy and on hand to help out with any special requests you may have to make your holiday that extra bit special. I'm looking to hire a private yacht for the day! so, the opportunities are endless! if it's possible your personal travel agent will try and make it happen.
