My Mission

I believe travel allows you to experience a myriad of exciting different cultures, sights and tastes, and I’m keen to create customised itineraries that enchant and enrich the traveller, as well as leaving lasting, treasured memories.

I revel in the research! Through my network of trusted travel partners, insider insights and my constant desire to know about newly opened properties, I seek out the latest hotels, sleek resorts, wellness retreats, chic chalets, hip restaurants and cultural hot spots.

I love to locate authentic hidden gems, finding local recommendations off the beaten track and adding value to my clients by creating extraordinary trips that will be cherished for years to come.

I take care of every detail, ensuring a personalised trip is created from start to finish.

Let’s make your next escape effortless, stylish and entirely unforgettable.

  • "Kate's responsiveness and attention to detail stood out - she arranged everything seamlessly, liaising directly with Simpson Travel to create my perfect holiday. When my son fractured his foot just before our trip, Kate handled the situation with impressive efficiency. Before I had time to worry, she'd organised assisted travel, ensuring every step of the journey ran smoothly. Kate made me feel truly cared for, and it’s this exceptional level of service that makes her so unique"

    "KSH Travel helped organise and book our corporate team weekend away to watch the Ryder Cup. Kate recommended a shortlist of stylish hotels and secured us reduced rates at a boutique NYC bolthole, perfect for our requirements. We appreciated her responsive attitude and attentive service throughout the group booking process"

    Maverick Partners

  • "We were keen for a dual hotel experience in Kenya and Kate helped us select two stylish beachfront properties in Lamu and Diani that met the brief perfectly and negotiated good rates on our behalf. KSH Travel also gave valuable advice on suitable internal flights, visas and immunisations, creating a smooth booking process. Whilst we were on our trip Kate checked in to ensure all was going well; a nice personal touch we appreciated"
