"Once a year, go someplace you’ve never been before... "

Hi, I’m Kathryn.

Emigrating with my family to New Zealand in the 1970s, I was introduced to travel at an early age and have adventured extensively ever since.

My husband and I returned to the UK in 1992 and after selling the family photography business, I saw a local advertisement for a travel agent, marking the beginning of my new profession.

As a family, we have always enjoyed active holidays, walking the Inca Trail, diving in many countries, canoeing the Zambezi, driving from Victoria Falls to Cape Town, climbing to Kilimanjaro’s base camp and camping throughout Kenya, Botswana and Namibia. I do enjoy putting together an off the beaten track itinerary.

I joined Holidaysplease in 2016 and am now the proud owner of a motorhome, which I also use as my office, enabling me to work from some interesting locations whilst on the road.

My customers are super important to me.

I like to catch up and talk about all things travel with them and when booking a holiday, it’s essential to find the perfect one that suits.

What my clients say about me
