I've been a travel advisor for over 9 years, and have had the incredible opportunity and privilege to share my most favorite destination - the United Kingdom - with many of my valued clients. Not only do I visit the countries within the UK on a regular basis, I lived in England for over 22 years. In fact, I have been obsessed with the UK since I was 13 years old when I saw my first Monty Python's Flying Circus episode.
Prior to joining the travel industry, I worked in museum retail and for an antique auctioneer, so I learned much about the history of the UK, especially relating to art and culture. Having lived in the UK for a long time, I also know the "lay of the land" and am familiar with many interesting "out-of-the-way" places to visit. This knowledge, combined with maintaining a quality network of local contacts, ensures that I'm always up-to-date on everything that is new and happening.
Now, I look forward to sharing my experiences and expertise with you and crafting an incredible, highly-personal itinerary filled with exactly what you want to see and do. I'm humbled to say that many of my clients with whom I worked to create their initial "once-in-a-lifetime" trip have returned asking me to create additional itineraries to the UK because they loved their experience so much! Whatever your definition is of a "once-in-a-lifetime-trip" to the UK, I can make it happen!
