Travel style

I'm an enthusiastic travel advisor, who uses my expertise for travel and all it encompasses, whether it be food, culture, shopping, accommodations, to curate the most personalized travel experience for my clients. Identifying a clients’ needs comes from my vast experience being a sales advisor for some of the most premium brands in the luxury goods market. Most of all, I love to get to know people and love sharing my travel experiences. I also love to integrate a certain elevated taste level, that doesn’t break the bank, into my plans.

Brenda's reviews

Brenda was very responsive during my quest to find me the perfect place to stay during my stay at St. Andrews. She was able to identify my needs quickly and I will always defer to her knowledge from here onward as she ticked all the boxes I presented to her.

I asked Brenda for a well situated hotel that has history behind it and she could not have found a better hotel. Staff, rooms, bar- all impressive. Best yet, close to all points of interest. Brenda listened to my needs and identified them quickly and was able to find the right fit expeditiously. Her service is highly recommended.
