Meet The Team



Our team are all well travelled and between us we have most of the world covered. We all specialise to some degree not just in the destinations we know but also in activities and themes we warm to. You can normally speak to someone who has first hand knowledge of the destination you're visiting and is familiar with the style of trip your planning.

Since then she has been busy combining her job at Worlds Apart as tours and tailor made manager with exploring the globe and can now boast that she is the only person in the office who has visited all the continents having recently added both Antarctica and the Arctic to her travel portfolio.
