Kelly cut her travel teeth travelling alone on her big OE in Europe, which left a lasting impression. “Everyone should travel alone at least once. I met so many people, and did and saw exactly what I wanted without compromise.”

Now that Kelly has a family, she can appreciate single, independent travel even more, and it’s also given her insight into what makes a great family holiday, that will please everyone. “I love creating exciting and relaxing holidays for families where both parents and children can reconnect and create amazing memories together.” For this, Thailand is somewhere that often ticks all the boxes – food, culture, weather, luxury spa experiences and amazing resorts. In fact, she rates her most relaxing holiday ever at Six Senses Koh Samui “in the most beautiful ocean-view pool villa”, with an outdoor bathroom and private butler. (Sounds tough…)

Kelly’s clients rate her for her patience and commitment to crossing every t and dotting every i, to make sure their trip goes smoothly. She advises, “Pack lightly, call your bank, let them know you are heading overseas and always have the essentials in your hand luggage in case your suitcase goes amiss!”

Something Kelly particularly looks forward to every year is when a couple of her regular clients plan their annual getaway. “I have a really lovely couple who take turns at choosing the destination, and whole itinerary. They always choose culturally rich places like India and Egypt, and it’s such fun putting together the surprise trip. The other person never really knows what will happen!”

Kelly would love to help you book your next getaway, whether you want to surprise someone special, or just escape the everyday.
