About Mark

Turning travel dreams into great experiences and lifelong memories is my goal every day.

Travel for me is a lifelong passion of discovery and talking with like minded individuals. I love planning my clients travel on 'planes, trains and ships'. Getting feedback and comments from clients on their holiday experiences is the best life tonic and I always get a kick out of talking about any travel idea and destination.
