1976, my passion for travel started during a 3-month family journey through the UK and Europe. Quite young to remember all the details, the stories shared have kept the memories vivid. The excitement of revisiting these places, fuels my desire to explore even more of this world. Spending your days planning and organising customers travel journeys doesn’t feel like a job. The joy is hearing their stories and knowing you helped create memories they’ll treasure forever.
When I reflect on my travels even from an early age, I can always remember the little life changing moments on each trip. Meeting people from foreign lands; so different to what I have known, understanding who they are, their history, their way of life and being able to bring a little of this back from each trip. The diversity: the wildlife, the landscapes, the big cities, the historical towns, the beaches, the national parks, there is so much to take in and be in awe of. The excitement of the first glimpse of something I have only seen in photos or on the screen. The beautiful friends I have made along the way, treasured memories and experiences that have shaped and changed my life forever. The sense of freedom, the ability to stop, appreciate and be grateful, to reset and learn a little more about yourself.
I love the fact that what you receive from Emma Whiting Travel is unique. You cannot get it anywhere else.

Our combined knowledge, our firsthand experiences, our industry experience, our care, passion, and service offerings are ours. The synergy of our team, the input from many into our client’s trips makes them all unique and that’s what I love. We know we created something special.
‘Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So, throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.’
