Croatia truly is a destination that ticks all the boxes: picture-perfect beaches, enchanting island hideaways, delicious cuisine, and a rich tapestry of culture and history.

Venture inland, and you’ll discover stunning landscapes—from rugged peaks to rolling vineyards and charming medieval towns.

Love Game of Thrones? Walk in the footsteps of your favourite characters on an exclusive guided tour of Dubrovnik’s ancient city walls.

For a long time, I've told people I have the best job in the world and I still stand by that. 

What could be better than turning peoples dreams into reality? I never know what the day will bring and isn't variety the spice of life? 

My travel journey started a bit later in my life, so I haven't been everywhere YET, but I am having a damn good crack at it, gathering local knowledge along the way.

I liken planning a holiday to baking a cake. It takes several well measured and thought out ingredients for a great result.

I have been lucky to have travelled extensively myself and being a travel consultant for more than 20 years, I use these 'ingredients' - experience and expertise - to draw on to help create amazing holidays and lifelong memories.

It is such a pleasure to help my clients get the best out of their holidays and manage an incredible team of travel professionals.
