Kerry Graham

Owner & Professional Travel Advisor

Travel has always been central to my life. Over the years I’ve explored many corners of the world - from expedition cruising in Antarctica and the Kimberley to cultural journeys through India and Bhutan, and luxury voyages across the globe. What inspires me most is helping clients discover experiences that truly resonate with them. No two travellers are the same, and every journey should reflect that. I take the time to understand what matters most to each client and design journeys that feel effortless, inspiring and unforgettable. For me, travel is not just about the destinations - it’s about the moments, the connections, and the stories you bring home.

“The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.” –St. Augustine of Hippo

i was lucky enough to take several overseas trips as a child, back when travel was a far more exotic affair than it is now. Those memories have stayed with me to this day and when I left school I couldn't think of any better job than helping other people make their travel dreams become reality. Now, some 30 years later I am privileged to work with a wonderful group of clients & friends to do just that every day. During that time I have had many amazing travel experiences myself, from light aircraft flights between remote luxury bush camps in Africa, to jetting into New York on the Concorde, watching the sun rise over the Pyramids in Egypt and having breakfast with Orangutans in Singapore. I look forward to helping make your travel dreams come true.

Travel is my passion. As much as I love discovering the world for myself, it brings me just as much joy to help my amazing clients — both corporate and leisure — plan their own unforgettable journeys. Supporting their travel dreams is something I take great pride in.

Cindy Bakewell

Professional Travel Advisor

Travel has a unique ability to connect people with the world in meaningful ways. I love helping clients explore the incredible range of possibilities available today — from luxury ocean cruising and European river journeys to carefully curated holidays designed around personal interests. My focus is always on the details. Ensuring every element of a journey is thoughtfully arranged allows our clients to relax and enjoy their travels knowing everything is taken care of. Being part of someone’s travel experience is incredibly rewarding, and I take great pride in helping create journeys that are smooth, memorable and inspiring.

Nicola Monteith

Professional Travel Advisor

My passion for travel began at a young age, shaped by extended family journeys through the UK and Europe. With over 20 years in the travel industry, I bring both experience and genuine enthusiasm to every journey I plan.

I’ve travelled in many ways—from backpacking to luxury escapes—both solo, with family, and on group tours where I’ve formed lasting friendships. I especially value immersive experiences, including volunteer work in Morocco and Laos, as well as active travel such as hiking, biking and kayaking. That said, I equally enjoy the simple pleasures of a relaxed beach escape.

I believe my personal travel experience, attention to detail and understanding of what makes a journey truly memorable allow me to create seamless, tailored travel experiences for my clients. I look forward to helping you plan your next journey.
