Katie
Client Services Executive
I am keen to ensure all of our clients at Inspiring Travel have the most memorable experience throughout their holiday and want to encourage every client to try something amazing each time they travel.
About me
After travelling to many destinations around the world such as Egypt, America, the Caribbean and across Europe, I had the opportunity to work at Inspiring Travel in their Academy programme with West Cheshire College. I was then given a permanent position working in the Concierge and Client Experiences team in 2014.
If you want to do it, I will try my utmost to make it happen. I am able to provide recommendations around the world and I always offer an option of doing something out of the ordinary. One of our most popular experiences and one that's still on my personal wish list is the Sundowner Dinner Dune Safari in Dubai which offers a truly cultural experience in the sandy surroundings of the city, giving the opportunity to dine real Arabic style whilst being under a wide-open sky in a Bedouin camp.
My most memorable travel experience
One of my favourite destinations to visit was Egypt; the main highlight was having a camel race through the desert and dinner with a Bedouin tribe. I explored lots of local areas including the bazaar at Cairo, a boat journey down the Nile, a ‘behind the scenes tour’ of the ancient pyramids and a close up with the Sphinx.
After having the privilege to go on an Inspiring Travel trip to Thailand I would say that this is a destination that has also gone in my top five places to visit again. We only had a short time there, but I was still able to experience things I would never have thought of, such as the sunrise yoga on top of the Peninsula Hotel in Bangkok and the hustle and bustle of one of the local markets. I would say the 'Land of Smiles' has so much to offer it is definitely worth another visit!
Service commitment from you:
After many years at Inspiring Travel, I've had the amazing opportunity and satisfaction in working alongside our clients, trusted travel agent partners and our Inspiring Team to enhance our clients' holidays with truly memorable experiences - I've always believed life is for those special moments!
From the adventurous sky diver to the fly and flop for that perfect spa and wellness getaway, to the family holidays where the little ones can embrace their creativity, I understand each holiday is personal to you and will always strive to make each of your adventures, no matter how lazy or crazy.
Within my role now, I assist mainly in holiday amendments. However, my career has grown at Inspiring Travel within Concierge, but my passion has not faded - I'll be pleased to always share my experiences and help in planning your special holiday.
Your top tips for travellers:
- Always meet the locals, they are what truly make each destination special in its own way!
- Try at least one new experience whilst on holiday that you don't get the chance to at home – I've done yoga on top of a skyscraper in Bangkok, not something you can do everyday!
- Even for the super adventures, it's important to take the time to stop and relax. I recommend a day in between adventuring to put your feet up (I’m sure it’s well deserved!) and if you have had a busy holiday being very active, finish it all off nicely with a spa treatment on your last day.
- Security fast track for most UK airports is a must on your departure to avoid busy queues.
