I’m an independent travel agent with 15+ years of experience in the luxury travel industry, specialising in creating luxe, authentic experiences tailored to each client’s unique needs. Having travelled to over 50 countries and lived in 4, I bring a wealth of personal travel knowledge to every itinerary I craft. I split my year between the UK and Australia, but as a digital nomad, I’m often on the move, working and exploring new destinations along the way. With the global buying power of Travel Counsellors, I can often secure more competitive rates, all while offering personalised service. You’ll have a real person to speak to whenever you need assistance, plus bespoke recommendations to make your trip unforgettable. Send me a message or schedule a complimentary consultation via my Thatch profile, and let’s start planning your dream getaway!

Was it a specific experience, recommendation, or something you've been dreaming of for a while?

What’s the main focus of this trip?  
For example, relaxation, adventure, cultural immersion, food and wine experiences, or something else?

Do you prefer pre-arranged experiences or more freedom to explore on your own?
If you'd like some activities included, what type would you most enjoy?

Is there anything specific you don’t enjoy about travelling?
This could include crowded places, too much structure, early mornings, or other things that might impact your experience.

What’s been your all-time favourite travel experience or hotel, and why did it stand out?
This helps identify elements that resonate most with your travel style and expectations.

Do you have any recommendations from friends or family you’d like incorporated?
Are there particular places, hotels, restaurants, or activities they’ve suggested?

How much time do you prefer to spend at your accommodation versus exploring outside?
Do you like to unwind at the hotel/resort, or are you all about discovering the destination?

What kind of dining experiences do you enjoy on holiday?
Casual local spots, fine dining, street food, or a mix of everything?

Do you have any bucket list items for this trip?
Is there a specific sight, experience, or activity you’ve been dreaming of?

Would you like any personalised touches or extras?
For example, romantic moments, wellness experiences, private tours, or surprises during your stay.

Are there any specific amenities or features that are a must at your hotel?
For example, spa facilities, fitness options, large pools, or kids club.

Is there anything else you'd like to share that will help us craft your perfect trip?
This could include any particular travel traditions, anniversaries, or surprises you’d like woven into the experience.

When are you looking to travel? Please provide your full date window (earliest date you can depart until latest date you can land back home).

What’s your preferred departure airport, and do you have any specific flight preferences?
This could include preferred airlines, departure times, class of service (economy, business, etc.), or anything else that would make your flight experience more comfortable.

What’s your ideal budget range for this trip?
Even a rough figure is helpful! This doesn’t mean I’ll aim to max out your budget; it simply ensures I recommend options that fit comfortably within it. There’s nothing worse than falling in love with an idea that’s out of reach, so this helps me focus on choices that feel perfect for you.

When would you like to book this trip?
This helps me find the best available deals and discounts for you.
