Your Questions Answered

Not always. No. While I have access to many of the same holidays, hotels, cruises, and package deals available to the public (including the same advertised discounts and promo’s), I also have access to a wider network of travel suppliers and partners that can sometimes be better value, exclusive offers, added extras, or alternative options that aren’t immediately obvious when searching yourself. My goal isn’t just to find the cheapest option — its to find the best value for your budget and travel style.

No. My travel planning, advice, destination knowledge, and personal support come at no extra cost to you. In most cases, I am paid by the travel supplier once a booking is made, meaning you benefit from my expertise without paying any extra and no separate consultation fees.

I can help with a wide range of travel experiences including package holidays, cruises, city breaks, UK and International getaways, family holidays, solo travel, luxury escapes, wellness retreats, adventure travel, Christmas markets, Northern Lights trips, group travel, events, flights only, hotel only, villas, corporate travel, ski holidays, wedding venues and honeymoons, and so much more.

That’s completely fine — and surprisingly common. Sometimes the best starting point isn’t a destination but a feeling. Tell me how you’d like your trip to feel, your budget, and what matters most to you, and I’ll suggest suitable destinations and options that match your goals.

Yes. Your holiday will be booked through reputable suppliers and, where applicable, benefits from ATOL and ABTA protection, giving you added peace of mind and financial security when you travel.

Absolutely. One of the biggest advantages of using an independent travel advisor is having a real person to contact if you need assistance. While suppliers have their own support teams, I’m also available to help guide you through unexpected situations wherever possible.

Not at all. I work with travellers across a wide range of budgets. Whether you’re planning a weekend city break, a family holiday, a luxury escape, or a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, my focus is on finding the right trip for you.

The earlier you start, the more options are usually available. However, I can help whether you’re planning 18 months ahead or looking for a last-minute getaway. Every trip is different, so it’s always worth getting in touch to explore what’s available.

Absolutely. Solo travel is one of my specialist areas and something I’m personally passionate about. Whether it’s your first solo adventure or your fiftieth, I can help you find destinations, tours, cruises, and experiences that suit your confidence level, interests, and travel goals. I also provide some great solo traveller tips too.

Yes. If you’ve already found a holiday, cruise, hotel, or itinerary that you like, send it over to me and I’ll happily take a look. In many cases I can match it, suggest a better alternative, add extra value, or highlight things you may not have considered before booking. Sometimes the best option is exactly what you’ve found already — and I will tell you that too.

I always aim to offer the best value possible, but travel isn’t always about comparing one price against another. If you’ve found a holiday elsewhere, send me the details and I’ll happily take a look. In many cases I can match the price, find a similar option for less, or add extra value through upgrades, added benefits, better flight times, more suitable accommodation, or additional support.

It’s also important to make sure you’re comparing like-for-like. Two holidays may look identical at first glance, but can include different room types, baggage allowances, transfer arrangements, cancellation terms, financial protection, or hidden extras. My job is to help you understand exactly what you’re getting and ensure you’re making the right choice—not just the cheapest one.

Once you get in touch, I’ll take the time to understand what you’re looking for, including your preferred destination, dates, budget, travel style, and any must-haves. I’ll then research the options on your behalf and come back to you with tailored recommendations. There’s no pressure, no obligation, and no hard sell — just honest advice designed to help you make the right decision for your trip.
