Hello, my name is Charlotte.

I Have been in travel since I was 20 and I have lots of travel experience! Two of my favourite destinations are Abu Dhabi and Egypt, from 2018-2021 I actually lived in Egypt as Quality Manager for a hotel in Marsa Alam so I am very familiar with the country. Now I love Working from home so I can balance work and home life and not have to commute to work everyday while I can still book perfect holidays for my customers.
