From the first chat to the moment you travel, I’m here to make the whole experience personal, enjoyable and stress-free, helping you make memories that last a lifetime

Part of The Independent Travel Consultants from Jamie Wake Travel.

What inspired you to be a travel consultant?


My passion for travel comes from the excitement of discovering new places, experiencing different cultures and creating unforgettable memories\. I love how travel brings people together, opens up new opportunities and allows us to see the world from a different perspective\. I decided to become an independent travel consultant because I wanted to turn something I genuinely love into something I can share with others\. I love the idea of helping people plan their dream holidays, taking away the stress of organising everything and making sure every trip is special and tailored to them\. For me, it’s about more than just booking holidays – it’s about creating memories that last a lifetime\. I’m excited to build my own business, connect with people and help others experience the magic of travel, one adventure at a time.



What do you love most about working as an independent travel consultant?


What I love most about being part of The Independent Travel Consultants is having the opportunity to build my own business while being supported by a wider team of knowledgeable and passionate travel professionals. It’s great to be part of a community that shares the same love of travel and the same goal of creating amazing holiday experiences for clients. I love knowing I have support, advice and resources behind me, while still being able to offer my clients a friendly, personal service. It gives me the confidence to grow, learn and help turn people’s holiday dreams into reality!

Is there anything you specialise in?


My primary specialism is creating tailor\-made holidays to suit every traveller, from relaxing beach escapes and family holidays to romantic getaways and bucket\-list adventures\. I have a particular passion for helping people find the perfect holiday to match their interests, budget and dreams, making every trip as special and memorable as possible.

Dream Trip on My Bucket List

One of my biggest dream trips would be to visit the Maldives! I would love to experience the beautiful turquoise waters, white sandy beaches and stunning overwater villas. It looks like absolute paradise and would be the perfect mix of luxury, relaxation and a little bit of adventure. It’s definitely a bucket-list destination I’d love to tick off one day.

Do you have a travel tip or hack that always makes a holiday smoother

Do you have a travel tip or hack that always makes a holiday smoother?

My biggest travel tip is to always be organised and prepared before you travel! I recommend checking in online as soon as it opens, keeping important travel documents and booking details easily accessible, and taking photos of passports and travel documents as a backup. I also suggest keeping essentials, such as medication, chargers and a change of clothes, in your hand luggage in case of any delays. A little preparation goes a long way in making your holiday stress-free, so you can relax and start enjoying your holiday from the moment you leave home!
