My company, EVS Luxury Travel Ltd. is based in London, England and is proud to be affiliated to Departure Lounge, a Virtuoso Member Agency.

I love exploring the UK, both the hidden corners of London and the countryside and historic towns. I have been visiting France since I was young and know many regions well, from Paris to Burgundy, to Provence and the Languedoc. I also have a passion for exploring further afield and have visited many countries over the years. In the Caribbean I've visited many quieter, less touristy islands and some of the more glitzy ones, The Belmond Venice-Simplon Orient Express for my honeymoon was one of my travel highlights, as were Singapore and Malaysia, South Africa, India and Sri Lanka. Wherever I go, experiencing the culture, the food, seeing the flora and fauna and learning about the history of a place is important to me, as well as choosing a lovely room or suite to relax in (private plunge pool preferred!). These days I prefer to stay in luxury accommodation and particularly love heritage or historic hotels.

After nearly 15 years working for a large US investment bank and another decade running my own business, the experience and skills I’ve gained mean I'm well equipped to carefully plan every aspect of your journey according to your preferences. Whatever you want to do or see, from experiencing London like a local, to embarking on a luxury tour of Asia to tasting wine in France, I'd love to help plan your perfect trip. I believe that fine travel should be paired with the best customer service and as someone who truly values my own vacation time, I understand the importance of yours.

I have a degree in Medieval and Modern History from the University of London and have spent most of my working life living in London, with a short spell spent living in New York and as much time spent travelling as I’ve been able to fit in.
