Every traveller is different, so I take the time to get to know what matters most to you before recommending a holiday. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion, planning a family adventure or ticking off a bucket-list destination, I'll create a trip that's tailored to your interests, style and budget. From our first conversation until you're safely home, I'm here to make the whole experience personal, straightforward and enjoyable.

Part of The Independent Travel Consultants from Jamie Wake Travel.

What inspired you to be a travel consultant?


My love of travel - I've spent more than 25 years living in different parts of the world. We've therefore had lots of visitors and as well as my personal travel, I've spent lots of time organising trips for family and friends.



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


The support you get from the team and other consultants.

Is there anything you specialise in?


Not specifically but I've spent 12 years living in 4 different countries in Africa and 5 years in the Middle East and another 5 in Asia and travelled extensively during those periods so my knowledge of Africa, Asia and the Middle East is strong. We have family in Canada so we've travelled there too. Luxury holidays and bespoke itineraries are what I know best with a little bit of adventure thrown in.

Top 3 Destinations I Can't Stop Talking About

🇻🇳 Vietnam A destination that has everything – spectacular scenery, incredible food, fascinating history and some of the warmest, most welcoming people I've ever met. It's one of those places that stays with you long after you've returned home. 🇴🇲 Oman One of the Middle East's best-kept secrets. Having lived there, I love sharing its dramatic mountains, golden deserts, beautiful coastline and genuine hospitality. It's the perfect blend of adventure, culture and luxury. 🇲🇾 Mulu, Borneo A place that genuinely took my breath away. Home to one of the world's largest cave systems and ancient rainforest, Mulu is ideal for travellers looking for something extraordinary and completely off the beaten track.

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?

I'm a convert to packing cubes. I'm not convinced they are a space saver but they do keep you organised. I never travel without a couple of clothes pegs - for occasional washing, keeping curtains properly closed or keeping towels on sun beds.
