Sarah Chapman

Designer Travel Expert

Since March 2019

Hello and welcome to Designer Travel by Sarah Chapman, I am a Professional Travel Advisor based in Blaby a village in Leicestershire.

I have many lovely local clients from all around the Leicestershire area, who take advantage of my travel services, however, I also look after clients all over the UK, and some who are even based overseas. Most of my business comes from "word of mouth" recommendations from people who have booked with me, passing my details to others.

I have over 40 years of travel experience behind me, across a variety of roles in the travel industry, mainly in a high street Agency therefore I have a wealth of travel knowledge to share with you. My customers love the fact that they will always speak to me personally, and am available when most others are not.

The feedback I receive praises me for my knowledge, expertise and giving holiday options/suggestions to appeal to them, along with one that maybe they may not have even previously thought about!

So you are dreaming of that next vacation, romantic getaway, a family holiday by the sea, a weekend away with friends or maybe that bucket list idea... I can make this a reality for you. No stress, only relaxing with a glass of something and the sunshine on your back. How does that sound?

As a lover of travel myself, I have experienced so many fabulous places around the world. It is important for me to get it right for us both as I care about you and your holiday. Booking a holiday is more than choosing a flight and hotel. I will help you choose the perfect location, room and time of year just for you by getting to know you and understanding what is important to you.

During my career, I’ve been fortunate enough to travel extensively to destinations such as: - Lapland,,South Africa- both city and Safari, Mauritius, The Maldives, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Oman Australia, including Sydney, Perth, Adelaide, Cairns and Brisbane Hong Kong, Singapore, Barbados, Mexico, both Cancun and Playa Del Carmen, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Bahamas. Canada including Vancouver, Jasper, Banff and Lake Louise, America visiting California, Las Vegas, Florida, Boston, Miami and New York.

I have also travelled extensively throughout Europe to both city and beach locations, these experiences mean I can confidently pass on the knowledge I have gained to help you fulfil the holiday of your dreams. I specialise in trips that are tailor-made just for you in areas such as the Indian Ocean, the Caribbean, African safaris, multi-centre holidays to the Far East,and Australia, Destination Weddings, honeymoons, plus USA fly-drives, group holidays, family holidays and city breaks, to name but a few, but I can cater for any destination or type of trip, that you may want to do.

I am ready to share this knowledge and experience with you to ensure you get the holiday you deserve Please head over to my Facebook page ‘Designer Travel by Sarah Chapman", to like and follow my page and keep up to date with hot off the press offers and travel inspiration!

Hope to speak soon to get planning your next trip Sarah
