Mike McDowell

Your Travel Concierge

Mike

For as long as I can remember I have always loved to travel, I find the world a beautifully fascinating place and nothing excites me more than being able to discover another part of it. I find it so exhilarating to step onto an aircraft knowing that when you step off again you’ll find yourself submerged in a brand new culture, surrounded by different foods, drinks, people and opportunities. It is my goal to help everybody achieve this feeling and I hope to be able to build your dream holiday for you and your loved ones.

Having worked as cabin crew for the last five years, I pride myself on my extensive knowledge of destinations all around the globe. From South Africa to Thailand, I can give personal recommendations on the best bars, spas, restaurants and beaches. I have seen first hand what an incredible planet we live on and I am passionate about helping others broaden their travel horizons and see the wonders this world has to offer.

I met my girlfriend whilst travelling and we now share a beautiful baby son together, so I completely understand and appreciate how a trip can be life changing and I hope to be able to make life changing memories for you too. I will be on hand to help you plan your perfect holiday; whether that be a romantic getaway, a weekend away with friends or an all inclusive trip with your little ones, I will strive to ensure that every detail has been fine-tuned to make your holiday perfect for you and your needs.

All of our holidays are fully ABTA and ATOL protected to give you complete peace of mind when booking with me. I will take care of all elements of your trip from flights, hotels parking and insurance, through to excursions and day trips taking the stress out of your holiday planning and leaving you with nothing left to do other than have the time of your life.

    New York, USA

    Fondly dubbed The Big Apple, New York City is one of the most densely populated cities in the United States and the home to a scope of cultures and diversity. New York City consists of 5 boroughs: The Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island; Each being so vastly different from the next, moving between them will often feel like stepping into another city entirely.
