Meet Emily
Hello, My name is Emily and I love to travel and help people book their dream destinations.
With nearly 16 years of experience as a travel agent, I’ve had the pleasure of helping clients create unforgettable memories across both land-based and cruise holidays. My journey in the industry has taken me through both retail and virtual call centre roles, giving me a well-rounded perspective on delivering exceptional service. Travel is my passion, and I find real joy in bringing happiness to others by planning their perfect getaway. Over the years, my own travel style has evolved—from exciting girls’ trips and long-haul adventures to more recent family-friendly European holidays—giving me firsthand insight into a wide range of travel needs.
Japan
Japan was a dance of contrasts—where centuries-old temples stood beneath neon skylines and cherry blossoms drifted past the sleek rush of bullet trains. From Kyoto’s lantern-lit alleys to Tokyo’s soaring towers, tradition and innovation intertwined in perfect rhythm. Quiet tea rituals unfolded beside buzzing arcades, and tranquil gardens gave way to streets alive with colour, sound, and light. In the mountains, mist curled around ancient shrines, while along the coast, fishing villages echoed with the rhythm of the sea and the scent of grilled yakitori drifted through narrow lanes. Every moment—from the hush of bamboo forests and the vermilion gates of Fushimi Inari to the brilliance of Shinjuku nights—felt like stepping into a living tapestry of grace, energy, and timeless spirit.

Turkey
Turkey was a crossroads of worlds—where East and West flowed together in a swirl of history, spice, and sunlight. From the domes and minarets of Istanbul rising against the Bosphorus to the otherworldly chimneys of Cappadocia glowing at dawn, the landscapes felt steeped in both legend and life. Grand bazaars buzzed with colour and scent, where the aroma of strong coffee and sizzling kebabs mingled with the glint of copper lanterns. Along the Aegean, ruins of ancient empires overlooked turquoise seas, while in quiet villages, tea was shared slowly, a ritual of warmth and welcome. Every moment—from drifting above honeycombed valleys in a hot-air balloon to watching the sun sink behind Hagia Sophia—felt like stepping into a living mosaic of culture, wonder, and timeless soul.
