A more personal way to plan luxury travel
Travel planning should feel exciting, not overwhelming. At Off The Beaten Track Travel, I work directly with you to shape journeys that feel personal, thoughtful and well-sequenced from the first idea to the final flight home.
Some trips are simple. Others involve remote regions, small ships, long routes, private guides, multiple countries and timing that needs to be handled carefully. My role is to make the whole journey feel calm, coherent and right for the way you travel.
For a deeper look at my bespoke planning approach, see my bespoke travel planning service. For more complex itineraries, you can also read about how I design complex, bespoke journeys.
Not every trip has to be a big adventure
While I specialise in luxury journeys and off-the-beaten-track travel, I’m just as happy to help with the holidays that simply make life better — easy breaks, family getaways, classic beach escapes and well-deserved weeks in the sun.
Sometimes you just want a relaxing trip to Fiji, a Mediterranean cruise, or a comfortable European holiday with good hotels and smooth travel.
You’re still in the right place. Every booking, whether big or small, gets the same care, attention and honest advice.
What my travel planning services include
The details change depending on the trip, but the aim stays the same: clear planning, better choices, smoother logistics and a journey that feels like it was built around you.
Hotels, lodges and villas
Carefully matched accommodation, from iconic lodges and boutique hotels to beach resorts, private villas and comfortable stopovers.
Room type, location, service style and benefits all matter.
Cruises and expedition travel
Small ships, expedition cruises, classic cruising and pre/post arrangements where the ship, season and travel style need to line up.
Useful when the wrong ship or timing can change the whole trip.
Travel with confidence
You’ll always have me in your corner. From delayed flights to last-minute changes, I’m here to help keep everything on track before, during and after you travel.
That support matters most when the itinerary has moving parts: remote lodges, cruises, private guides, international flights, transfers, trains, ferries and timing that needs to hold together.
The travel styles I can help with
A booking is a booking, and every trip matters. These are the broad travel styles I most often help clients shape.
Relaxed coastal escapes
Fiji, Bali, the South Pacific, Australia, New Zealand and classic resort-style holidays done properly.
Journeys further afield
Europe, Africa, South America, Asia and longer custom journeys where pacing and good sequencing matter.
Cruises and expeditions
Small ships, expedition voyages, larger cruise lines where appropriate, and land arrangements around the cruise.
Why work with a luxury travel planner?
The value is not just in booking the pieces. It is in knowing which pieces belong together, which ones quietly create friction, and where the trip needs more space, support or better sequencing.
One-to-one service: you deal directly with me.
Honest guidance: I’ll tell you what matters and what doesn’t.
Better matching: hotels, ships, guides and routes chosen for your style.
Less noise: fewer options, better decisions, smoother travel.
How the planning process works
The process is simple, but considered. We start with the idea, then shape it into something that makes sense practically and feels right emotionally.
1. Start with a conversation
We talk through where you want to go, how you like to travel, budget, pace and what you want the trip to feel like.
2. Shape the right journey
I research, design and refine the itinerary so the route, properties, flights and experiences work together.
3. Confirm the details
Once you’re happy, I handle the bookings, timings, supplier details and practical travel arrangements.
4. Travel with support
You travel knowing someone understands the full plan and is there if something needs attention.
Access to the best, without the stress
Through Main Beach Travel and Virtuoso, you gain access to a global network of luxury properties, expert guides, cruise lines and specialist operators.
The aim is not to overwhelm you with options. It is to use the right relationships, benefits and advice where they genuinely improve the trip.
Your next journey starts with a conversation
Tell me what you’re thinking — where you want to go, how you like to travel, and what you want the trip to feel like. I’ll come back with a clear, sensible way forward.
