Every great holiday should leave an imprint on a traveler that encourages them to see more of what the world has to offer. Holidays designed and managed by Zoe certainly do just that.
Zoe once created a 3-month trip around the world for her client who was traveling solo in memory of her sister's passing. With her expertise, she was able to make it the most memorable journey through 20 countries, upgrading her trip to first class flights, unique hotels, and cultural experiences throughout. "I understood that my client wanted this trip to be the trip of a lifetime, so I ensured that every day was unforgettable and generated stories like no other".
Zoe's passion for building bespoke itineraries rich with culture and colour came from her love and understanding of 'living like a local' through her own explorations around the world.
"I have always made an effort to include a local experience to understand the local way of life and to show respect while travelling in a foreign country.”
With cultural experiences paramount in her itineraries, it is no surprise Zoe's favorite travel destination is currently Cusco, Peru.
"I was mesmerized by the city of Cusco in Peru. It painted a picture of the history there through the Spanish Colonial Architecture, the surrounding Peruvian Andes, the historical sites from the Inca empire and the Peruvian locals dressed in bright traditional outfits sharing their tastes from a local harvest. It was truly so different to our day-to-day lives and that is what made it so rewarding.”
Peru may be Zoe's favorite destination, but her most enduring travel memory comes from Egypt.
"My single most life changing travel memory was when I first saw the Pyramids of Giza. There were so many 'pinch myself' moments while exploring the ancient ruins and temples throughout the historically rich country."
Zoe loves being a travel advisor and helping her clients immerse themselves in different cultures through unique travel experiences by tasting local cuisine, interacting with the local community, and learning their history.
It can be hard to explore outside your comfort zone, but with Zoe as your travel advisor you can be confident that you will experience everything your chosen destination has to offer and leave with travel memories unique only to you.

Get to know me
What is your number one travel tip?
I recommend planning your sleep on your flights. It will help you arrive feeling fresh and reduce your jet-lag, ensuring less disruption on your holiday.
What are your favourite destinations and why?
The quiet scenery of Norway in winter is so calm and inviting - everywhere you look feels like something out of a picture book. Some remote areas of Botswana feel so untouched by humans, that it's an experience you never forget.
How do you go above and beyond for your clients?
I like to ensure that my clients have everything in order prior to departure. Just simple reminders about driver's licences, using your phone abroad, any cultural considerations, or what to do if your luggage goes missing can really take the stress out of the travel planning process.
Where is still on your bucket list?
The vast wilderness of Canada and Antarctica, the incredible wildlife and safari lodges of South Africa, the vibrant cultures of Brazil and Argentina, and the blissful beaches of the Caribbean.
