I have worked in travel since 1975, working in Sussex, London and Kent, and joined Baldwins Travel as the Retail Manager in 2001. I am still passionate about travelling and enjoy leading a successful experienced travel team in helping our clients to plan authentic experiences in far-flung places, or a well deserved beach and flop holiday in the sunshine.

I have worked in travel all of my working life and I really do think that I have the best job. I have worked at Baldwins Travel since January 2016, and I love that every day brings me something new to work on. Since working here, I have been very lucky to have travelled to Mauritius and South Africa and stayed in some of the most beautiful hotels.

My passion is for cruising and I truly believe that there is a cruise for everyone. I have cruised around the Caribbean many times and love the relaxed days at sea and the sunny days out visiting the beautiful islands.

Whether you are looking to cruise out of the UK or fly somewhere to join a ship, or even enjoy the beautiful scenery on a river cruise, I would love to help you plan your next adventure.

I started working for Baldwins Travel after leaving school in 1973. During this time I have been lucky enough to travel far and wide. Having experienced many lovely holiday resorts in Mauritius and the Maldives, my absolute favourite destination is the Caribbean, which I have visited 57 times! The Islands are very different but they all share one thing in common, beautiful sandy beaches and a chilled atmosphere, and you really can’t beat a Caribbean Rum Punch 🍹

I have worked in travel for 16 years and joined Baldwins in 2022. I have lived and worked in Australia & New Zealand and have travelled or holidayed in the USA, Canada, South Africa, Costa Rica, Mexico, Japan, Vietnam, Thailand, Switzerland, Italy & Austria to name a few. I have caused a multiple pile up on a ski slope in Italy, bribed my way out of a police station in Gambia, been punched out by an angry ‘local’ on a surf break in Bali and once broke my ankle in a Dads vs Lads match against my son’s team of 10 year olds!

Where next: Skiing in Austria this Christmas. Lefkada in Greece next summer!

I joined the travel industry straight from school.

Having travelled extensively through Europe some of my favourite places to visit include Croatia, The Canaries, Seville and most recently Budapest.  I especially like to book a food tour in the new cities I am lucky enough to visit, this ticks the boxes of my favourite things, food, walking and history of the cities. It is such a relaxing way to tour the city you are visiting, stopping off for snacks along the route and learning about a locals take on their city.

I was most fortunate to visit Santorini recently and experienced some marvellous walking tours and excellent cuisine, the choice of both is extensive.

I am excited to share my ideas to create memorable trips for my clients.
