About me
I started my journey in the travel industry 25 years ago in a local travel agent. I went on to sell the Caribbean for Sandals & Beaches Holidays and then in the Caribbean team at Best At Travel. After a small career change taking 999 calls for the Met Police, I soon realised that the travel industry is a lot more fun, especially exploring and discovering new destinations! Holidays are our opportunity to do as much or as little as possible, we all look forward to that “getaway” and want it to be perfect, so if I can contribute to that experience to make the process easier and exceed customer expectations it is my pleasure to do so. In the luxury travel sector, I have worked with Reed & Mackay private clients, EFR Travel Group and IAB Travel before joining Inspiring Travel in August.
Where I have travelled recently
Maldives. May 2022 for my honeymoon. I stayed at Coco Bodu Hithi and Cora Cora.
Mallorca. Puerto Pollenca on my own holiday.
My most memorable travel experiences
Seychelles. Incredible beaches and lush natural islands, diverse wildlife and very exclusive. I absolutely adored spending time with the tortoises at Raffles.
Barbados. Amazing beaches, incredible cuisine, fun nightlife and swimming with turtles was my highlight.
Santorini. The beautiful whitewashed buildings and blue top churches are so pretty. Greek food is one of my favourites. A highlight was watching the sunset over the Caldera from my private plunge pool at Grace Santorini.
My favourite destination: Maldives
In my opinion literally heaven on earth! Just breathtakingly beautiful, world class service, private villa accommodation that is so exclusive and the snorkelling is the best! A highlight was snorkelling with a whale shark in South Ari Atoll.

Your top tips for travellers:
- To have the best time, leave your phone in the safe and switch off completely.
- Be sure to get to the airport with plenty of spare time. It will be costly and very disappointing if you miss your flight!
- Eat local food and pre-book a couple of restaurants in advance of your arrival, especially in busy periods!
