About Me

I have been in the travel industry over 20 years, what was meant to be a short summer working in Menorca when I was just 21 turned into many fantastic years within the industry. I have been lucky enough to travel to lots of destinations all over the world, including many parts of Spain, Portugal, France, Greece, Cyprus, Iceland, Norway, the Caribbean, India, Africa, the Maldives.

My travel career began overseas as a holiday rep many years ago and I spent 3 years as a wedding co-ordinator in the Dominican Republic. What an amazing time I had helping to make peoples wedding dreams come to life.

I decided after being overseas for many years that it was time to come home to sunny Manchester….home is where the heart is as they say.

I have worked in travel ever since and for the past 14 years I have been a Cruise Specialist which I can honestly say I love. I was completely blown away by my first ever cruise on board the Sea Princess, my trip was magical and since then I have been lucky enough to experience more amazing cruise lines with my family.

My love of cruising makes my job so much more than just a job. I love sharing my knowledge and whether you are new to cruising or have cruised many times before I’m here to help find you the perfect cruise experience. I would love to speak to you so give me a call on 0800 408 6101 or drop me an email on [email protected]
