Your next holiday matters. I spend the year researching, reading, asking and experiencing all things travel because I know it matters. So, whatever your need may be, I love to give you the benefits of the special relationships nurtured with hotels, resorts and tour operators. I am not a huge fan of the term 'bucket list' - I prefer a 'life list' - but there's no doubt that Covid has escalated the demand for the once-in-a-lifetime experience and I've been able to lose myself i

I met Carolyn and Steve at a travel expo in London in November 2019. Their first trip with me was originally booked to celebrate a special birthday for Carolyn in April 2020. This subsequently became October, November 2020 then October 2021. I was beyond thrilled that they finally made it to Mauritius with their daughter Sophie and her partner Chris. They have been kind enough to share their experience... It’s the sign of a great trip when there is a need to scroll back throu

To celebrate their first anniversary of working with us, EasyJet Holidays invited a small group of agents to join them in Tenerife for a celebration in partnership with the Palladium Hotel Group. I was thrilled to accept a spot on the guest list. I met my travel companions early. It’s been a while since I’ve flown from Gatwick and despite some concerns on the travel forums, check-in and security were no more painful than pre-pandemic. In conjunction with No1 Lounges, the rece

I first met Jo 30 years ago in the snowy surrounds of the Swiss Alps. We share an enthusiasm for all things Nordic and twinkly, which made working on her family’s Christmas Lapland adventure all the more satisfying. Santa Claus Holiday Village, reindeer sleigh rides, huskies and snow, beautiful snow... I have dreamed of a trip to Lapland for as long as I can remember, and when our two boys were three and six, the stars aligned with term dates falling so that school finished o

We have been booking our holidays with Jo for many years. Each one has been an experience to remember and that we will cherish forever in our hearts. She knows all our preferences and is perfect at finding just the right place for us as a family to have a very special holiday. Jo has sent us to Mauritius many times and the stunning Maldives twice. She is extremely knowledgeable about most things you ask her and if she doesn't quite know the answer, she can always be relied up

As a family, we have been working with Jo as our travel planner for over five years. We turned to Jo because as a family of four, including two teenagers, we could never agree on where to go, what to do and by the time we did, it was too late to get anything reasonable. Our passion for travel, before we met Jo, had often felt like a stressful ordeal. But meeting Jo transformed that overnight and she has been our saviour and dream maker creating many action-packed, fun-filled

Jo from Holidaysplease arranged everything for our two fantastic family holidays at the Porto Sani Village and Sani Dunes in Greece She was recommended to us by friends and has been absolutely amazing.

We cannot recommend Jo more highly! Sam & Paul #familyholidays #beachholidays
