ABOUT THE AUTHOR
The Itinerary Gal
Hi I'm Emma from the UK and I have been fortunate enough to have been traveling since my 20s in the UK and abroad. I started the Destination bible because I wanted to turn my passion of travelling into a business so I became an Independent travel advisor. I also have a love for fitness and the outdoors. I have spent so much time planning my adventures that I wanted to take the stress and hassle out of planning the perfect escape for others. I offer 1:1 calls and custom itineraries for all tastes and budgets. I also accept requests for package holidays/cheap flight deals/ UK staycations/ Spa and theatre breaks/ cruises and Disneyland packages and I will source the best deals and tell you where to book them. Don't worry if you have a fur baby, I often take my ginger Pomeranian Todd on my adventure's too so I can recommend some great dog friendly places. I regularly check all the best package deals from the UK so reach out if you want some recommendations on where is cheap and trending right now, as we all love a great deal right? I hope my guides will inspire you to get out more and explore the world 🌎no matter what your budget or location. I have created guides on my personal experiences and on places that I know you will enjoy exploring. Hopefully as much as I have. I only recommend places to stay based on personal experience.
