About Me

I made it to Everest Base Camp ! AMAZING
I made it to Everest Base Camp ! AMAZING

As a Brit who has happily called America home for over 30 years, I bring the sophistication of European explorations into my role as a professional travel advisor. My lifelong passion for travel began with my family adventures through Europe, from the lavender fields of France to Spain's sunny coasts, creating treasured memories and instilling an ongoing love for the world of travel.

Specializing in luxury adventure travel,to destinations such as Australia and New Zealand, Europe and Africa, I craft bespoke journeys that seamlessly blend fun and thrill. Imagine a sunrise hot air balloon ride over Uluru, or an expedition cruise through the untouched beauty of Antarctica. These are just some of the extraordinary experiences I design, making travel dreams a reality

Understanding that each clients has unique wishes, whether for luxury or adventure- my role is to listen and curate tailor-made itineraries that exceed expectations. I am dedicated to taking care of every detail that my clients expect, ensuring that their journeys are both seamless and memorable.

My English roots afforded me the excitement of rail adventures across the continent, from island hopping in Greece to the charm of Parisian boulevards and castle of Germany. Living in Bahrain for five years enriched my cultural perspectives. Dune surfing in Dubai? Camel rides through the sands? These unique experiences empower me ot create unparalleled travel experiences worldwide.

I've trekked through breathtaking landscapes, reaching base camp at Mt. Everest and biking through Tuscany's vineyards. Each adventure enriches my creativity, fueling my passion for crafting travel that invigorates and restores.

Guiding my clients through their unique journeys fills me with exhilaration. Sharing in their anticipation and delight is what truly makes my work rewarding.Every journey is tailored to be as individual as the traveler themselves. Travel is not just about the destination- it's about creating memories to last a lifetime. This is why I love what I do.

Amazing- 2 weeks and 4 cities in Australia!
Reviewed By Bob P - Eastchester, NY | Traveled to Australia & New Zealand
Pauline was great in many ways! She was very responsive to our barrage of questions. We gave her an outline of what we were looking for, and she filled in the details perfectly, even adding another stop that we hadn't though of. She was able to pivot and make a few changes that came up as the months went on between our booking and our trip. And she always made sure we had the latest detailed copy of our two week, four city itinerary. Thank you, Pauline!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
