The pandemic brought about challenging times for us all. As someone deeply passionate about exploring new destinations and learning more about the world, the limitations imposed during this period were hard. Not only did they impact my ability to book trips for my clients, but they also restricted my own trips and travel stories. With the recent transition to Designer Travel marking a new chapter in my journey, I'm thrilled to embrace the opportunity to make up for lost time,

I contacted Susan for recommendations on seeking a March sunshine break for us. She researched our requirements and provided helpful suggestions, including the fabulous 5-star Amavi MadeForTwo Hotel in Paphos, Cyprus. The room was excellent, full of tech to work the lights, curtains and temperature, and a lovely comfortable bed. The outside pool had allocated sun beds, the grounds were beautiful and the staff were amazing. We enjoyed a plentiful buffet at breakfast and del

Susan was recommended to us by a friend when we booked our amazing honeymoon to St Lucia in 2013. She is always friendly, polite, professional and helpful, especially so this time around. At the beginning of this year, we approached Susan with our holiday requirements and worked together to find the perfect all-inclusive resort in Rhodes for a 10-day holiday in August. We were thrilled! July came along and as the terrible fires in Greece started, we hoped and prayed that t

Susan has been helping my family with holidays for several years and we are extremely appreciative of her hard work. This summer we found ourselves in a difficult situation when the terrible wildfires in Rhodes resulted in the sudden cancellation of the Saturday outbound flights, whilst we were in the departure lounge waiting to board. Hugely disappointed that our long-planned family holiday was ruined, we set about recovering our luggage and retrieving our car to return ho

Dear Susan, On behalf of our entire group, I really would like to thank you for all the hard work and effort that went into organising us a holiday of a lifetime. Everything was so well orchestrated from the meet times and the transfers to the hotels and return flights home. The hotels throughout were great, with a special mention for the superb Sheraton Wall in Vancouver. Our trips to the Columbia Icefield, with the Sky Walk, Vancouver Island and Grouse Mountain, were all ve
