All about Mandy My love for travel began in my teenage years after a visit to Hong Kong with my parents. After this, everything I did was to get into the travel industry. I studied for five years at college, then worked as a campsite rep in Brittany, France for two years, before finding a position with a well known London based Travel Company specialising in tailor-made itineraries. Having taken a short break to have a family and move back to Chepstow, I am now back doing my favourite thing – sharing my experiences from all the places I have visited. Over the years I have been fortunate enough to visit many parts of the world, from the European cities, to the natural wonders of Australia and New Zealand. I would be hard pushed to choose a favourite destination as each one was a very different. I love the natural geography of the canyons and rock formations of Nevada and Utah in the States, the history Thailand and Mexico, the culture of India and the unique safari experiences of Zimbabwe. I have been adventurous in the past with Bungee jumping off Victoria Falls Bridge and white water rafting on the Colorado River etc, but now I prefer self-drive holidays where I can visit what I want, when I want and meet the locals in their own environment. If I had to pick one place that stands out to me, it would New Zealand, with its vastly differing geography from the hot springs of Rotorua, the glaciers of Mount Cook, to the rain-forests of Milford Sound, the dolphins of Kaikoura and the wonderfully friendly and welcoming people.
Customer reviews of Mandy
Just a quick note to thank you for your efforts that provided us with a fantastic holiday and memories that we hope will last a lifetime. The villa was fantastic and the change of flights didn't cause any problems in the end. Thanks very much for all your help.

Hi Mandy, just a quick e-mail to thank you for your help in organising our trip to America. We had an amazing time. The hotel on Times Square was fantastic, and thanks to your suggestions, we knew exactly what to see in our short stay. The highlight of the trip for my wife was seeing “Wicked” on Broadway, which you organised, the perfect treat for her birthday. Thanks again for everything.
