Personal holiday planning

I’ll plan it.
You enjoy it.

Tell me what you’re dreaming of, whether that’s a week in the sun, a city break or a once-in-a-lifetime celebration, and I’ll put together ideas shaped around you.

Trips I can plan

From a quick break to the big one you’ve been saving for, every trip starts with a chat about what you love.

  • Palm trees and a thatched parasol on a white-sand beach beside calm blue sea

    Beach & sun

    Sunshine, sea views and proper downtime, from easy short-haul breaks to far-flung islands.

  • The Hungarian Parliament building on the Danube in Budapest at golden hour

    City breaks

    Culture, food and wandering new streets, with hotels in the right spot so you make the most of every day.

  • A white cruise ship sailing on a calm sea at sunset

    Cruises

    Ocean or river, relaxed or adventurous. I’ll help you find the ship, route and cabin that suit you.

  • A family seen from behind, walking hand in hand along a sandy beach

    Family holidays

    Holidays that work for everyone, from little ones to grandparents, with the practical details thought through.

  • Overwater bungalows lining a tranquil turquoise lagoon

    Honeymoons & celebrations

    Honeymoons, anniversaries, milestone birthdays: special trips with the little touches that make them memorable.

  • A winding coastal road between mountains and the sea

    Tailor-made trips

    Multi-stop journeys and ideas you can’t find in a brochure, pieced together around your pace and interests.

Simple and personal

How it works

  1. Let’s chat

    Tell me who’s going, when, roughly what you’d like to spend and what makes a great holiday for you.

  2. Tailored ideas

    I’ll research options and come back with ideas that fit, then fine-tune them with you until they feel just right.

  3. Book with confidence

    When you’re happy, I’ll take care of the booking and explain clearly what’s included and how your booking is arranged.

  4. Here while you travel

    I’ll be a friendly point of contact before you go and while you’re away, if you have questions along the way.

Nice to meet you

About Tarryn

Hello, I’m Tarryn Bates, an Independent Travel Agent with InteleTravel, originally from South Africa and now based in Liverpool. I’ve spent years in the travel sector, including many years working on cruise ships and travelling all over the world, so I know first-hand what makes a trip feel special.

I plan all kinds of holidays: beach escapes and city breaks, honeymoons and celebrations, family holidays, tours, and cruises too. Because I’ve seen so much of the world myself, I can talk you through a destination, not just book it.

I have a degree in Hospitality Management and have worked as an events coordinator in Abu Dhabi, which gave me an organiser’s eye for detail. That shows in every trip I plan, especially celebrations and group holidays, where the little things matter. Tell me what you’re dreaming of, and I’ll plan it.
