Helen Thomas, Founder
I feel privileged to be able to support clients in finding amazing holidays by combining my lifelong passion for travel and extensive experience in the luxury travel industry.
My interest in travel started at the age of 18 when I spent a year travelling and working in Australia followed by a month in New Zealand and time in Hong Kong. Over the years my travels have taken me to more inspiring and remote destinations where I have immersed myself into local cultures, connected with local communities, experienced incredibly interesting local guides and drivers and stayed at some of the most unique properties in the world that support local communities and the environment through their associated foundations.
I am passionate about helping clients to learn about a more sustainable way of travelling as there are many hotels and travel experiences that focus on sustainability, supporting and empowering local communities, local charity projects and investing in conservation projects.
In addition to Australia, New Zealand and Hong Kong my travels have taken me to: South Africa, Kenya, Morocco, Mexico, the Caribbean (St Lucia, Antigua, Tobago, Dominican Republic, St Vincent and Bequia in the Grenadines), China, Singapore, Nepal, Bali and the Anambas Islands (Indonesia), the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Cambodia, the Maldives, Mauritius, the Seychelles, Oman, America, Canada, the Canary Islands, Turkey, the Czech Republic, Croatia (Dubrovnik, Split, Bol, Hvar and Korcula), Montenegro, Greece (Santorini, Mykonos, Crete, Naxos, Paros, Corfu, Halkidiki, Paxos and Anti Paxos), Sardinia, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Netherlands, Switzerland, Finland and France.

My travels over the years have taken me to the Middle East (Oman, Dubai, Abu Dhabi), The Indian Ocean (Maldives, Mauritius, Seychelles), China (Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing), Americas (Canada, USA, Caribbean), South East Asia (Burma, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore), South Pacific (Tahiti, Bora Bora, Moorea), Africa (South Africa, Kenya, Morocco, Tunisia), Japan and many regions/cities in Europe.
