Let’s Create Travel Experiences You’ll Never Forget!
I’m passionate about crafting unforgettable travel experiences—ones that truly resonate with you. To do that, I take the time to understand why you travel. What excites you about a place? What do you dream of when you picture your perfect holiday? Let’s bring that vision to life—and take it even further!
I live and breathe travel, always exploring what’s new, what’s possible, and how we can enhance your ideas. Google might show you the cost of getting from A to B, but I want to help you discover everything in between. A well-planned itinerary doesn’t just save money—it saves time, creating a seamless journey filled with incredible moments.
I specialize in crafting itineraries that let you truly connect with your destination—meeting locals, indulging in authentic cuisine, and discovering hidden gems. .
Personally, I’m drawn to destinations that are rich in culture and uniqueness—my top three being Africa, India, and Jordan. But my love for travel means you can always sign me up for New York, Singapore, and Florence too! There are always places I’d love to revisit and new experiences to add to my ever-growing bucket list.
I regularly escort small group journeys, and I’m humbled that so many of my clients return time and time again to explore the world with me. I also create custom group tours for families, friends, or social circles—whether that means private touring at reduced costs or organizing a personal chef for a special dinner, no request is too big or small!
The first step? Let’s chat! With over 20 years of experience in the travel industry, including 17 years as the owner of my own agency. You can visit me in my Newcastle office, or I can meet you at a time and place that’s convenient—whether in person or via Zoom. Booking your dream holiday should be easy, and I’m here to make it happen!

Michelle from Jayes is a one of a kind agent and I can not refer her enough to family friends and clients. I have been now using her for over 10 years on all International and Domestic bookings. She makes the travel documents comprehensive and I feel safe knowing that she has set everything up from Start to finish. Not a beat missed from her either with must do activities and sightseeing in the locations I choose and of course great places to eat! Thank you Michelle for being brilliant at what you do and I am looking forward to many more holidays booked through you.

With more than a little trepidation, I agreed to join a small group tour to Northern India organised and hosted by Michelle from Jayes. After being picked up at our door and being returned three weeks later, I don’t have the words to explain what a wonderful experience was had! The sights, sounds, smells & people of New Delhi, Jaipur, Agra, Varanasi & Jodphur will stay with us forever. Michelle had organised everything – flights were on time, the hotels were first class, local guides were excellent & sights amazing. It is impossible to list all the highlights because there were so many – from the Taj Mahal to spending time at a school for disadvantaged girls and a dusk cruise on the Ganges plus so much more. We always felt safe secure and Michelle was the consummate host. Do yourselves a favour and talk to Michelle, you will not be disappointed.
