About Me

I’ve been a travel consultant for 22+ years. I’ve lived in the UK, Canada & Japan. I specialise in all sorts of trips, and have sent people on the Trans-Siberian Rail tour to visiting the Dutch colony of Suriname, even the mail boat up the Norwegian Fjords. Throw me your curve ball and we can make it happen.

Wanderlust at 21, I visited some amazing destinations and lived in cultures that today still inspire me to return. I retired my backpack at 25, purchasing a very bright suitcase with 4 wheels and gaining a career in selling travel.

Let me take you to see, feel and be inspired by the world and all it has to offer.

Testimonials

Jeanette

I have found Trudi Vowles such an ideal travelagent that when I left town and moved to another city I still continued to use her services. She has organised a fantastic trip to China entirely by phone and email and there were no hitches. Because she got to know me personally and understood what I was looking for with travel, she was able to totally give my holiday the wow factor
