A series of streamlined steps that are often the secret to success.
When it comes to travel design, the process for me is both an in-depth and creative one.
For you as the client, however, it’s satisfyingly simple.
The steps in my process are named Dream, Design, Discover.
Three words that I feel capture the magic of the method.
The method that saves you hours of your precious time, hassle, and stress.
The same method that provides me with the best insights to curate those exceptional experiences for you, with plenty of creativity and artistic touches.
In fact, the Dream, Design, Discover process is at the core of why I named my brand
‘The Escape Artist’.
An emphasis on the creativity and art behind those intricate itineraries that we present to you, along with all of the work, connections and precision that goes into it.

It all starts with a dream.
The scenes you want to see, the flavours you want to taste, the feelings you want to feel.
This stage is all about getting to know your inspirations, preferences and past trips to really understand the experience you’d like to have.
Not sure which destination you’d like to go to? No problem.
What’s really key at this point is hearing your ideas and getting to know what you like in order to tailor the very best experience for you.
As this chat will really set the foundations, we should allow plenty of time in order to enhance the all-important dreaming process with all the right questions.
At this stage, we will also discuss the planning fees for your trip.
Next up comes the design.
A stage of extensive research (on my part), reaching out to my network of dedicated travel contacts and bouncing ideas back and forth as much as necessary.
As this phase is dedicated to curating your own exceptional experience and tailor-made holiday, I’ll be presenting various ideas and inspirations, and working alongside you, to get your design precisely as you like it.
Part of my process is dedicated to picking the most conscientious companies to work with in the travel industry – so, rest assured when booking with me, you’re always in safe hands.
Once we have everything in place and have reviewed the itinerary together, your dream trip will be finalised and you can sit back and look forward to the grand finale.
The bit we’ve both been waiting for: It’s discovery time.
Whether you’ve chosen to discover a new culture, a treetop suite, or maybe even inner peace, now is your time to set off on your next adventure, confident in the fact that everything has been taken care of for you.
And, should any problems arise, big or small, know that myself and my partners will be there to help you along the way.
Now remember, it doesn’t all end on the flight back. Once you’ve arrived and settled in at home, I’ll be waiting to hear all about your trip.
From your stories and discoveries to the design and experiences, any feedback you share will not only make me smile but also help me shape your next adventure! And of course, I love seeing your photos too, so please make sure you tag me on social media.
P.S Feeling grateful for my help and support?
The best gift I can receive is a recommendation to likeminded friends and family.
And the bonus is, if they book: I’ll send you a gift too!
Why charge fees?
Legendary leader Benjamin Franklin once said –
‘’An investment in knowledge pays the best interest”.
So as someone who shares my knowledge and network for your benefit, I would ask you, are you willing to invest in industry expertise and exclusive connections to upgrade your personal travel experiences?
The reality
If you’ve ever tried to plan a trip for yourself you will likely know the extensive efforts that go into the process. The hours spent planning and the rabbit holes that you frequently find yourself in. The change in availability in the heavenly hotel that you spent so long to find. The difficulty in managing your travel groups seemingly infinite dreams and expectations.
In fact, many people romanise the work of a travel designer. But the truth is – it’s not easy.
The benefit
Luckily for you I have spent many years in the industry building worldwide knowledge, industry relationships, first hand experience (and a pretty good understanding of human desires).
So when you decide to work with me you know that your investment will not only save you hours of your precious time but also:
۵ Gain you access to in-depth knowledge from all around the globe (through myself and my local connections & industry contacts)
۵ Connect you with exclusive networks and partnerships (+ therefore often VIP treatment and amenities like upgrades, complimentary meals, spa & hotel credits)
۵ Gift you with someone that really cares. (My clients often say I seem as excited about their trip as they are and that’s because it’s true – nothing makes me happier than helping people discover this fascinating world & have the best experiences.)
