Emma
I am a highly adaptable and energetic leader that loves to promote a positive and inclusive group ethos. I love to offer a good variety of activities on all of our tours and am constantly striving to find new destinations and adventures for you all to enjoy.
I believe the beautiful sights and experiences of our world were made to be shared and my life has become very much enriched from travelling with so many of our lovely members. Our company has been created to offer the same to you.
Jess
I am the face behind all of the administration work done here at Travel Buddies Holidays. I work behind the scenes piecing together all of the separate elements to create our polished holiday packages for you. It is my passion to make sure you have a perfect and stress free experience when booking with us. I am always here to answer any questions or queries you have, no matter how big or small.
Di
Ever since I was young, I've said I want to travel the world but somehow life got in the way!! Now I'm making up for lost time and loving it! My favourite destination (so far) is India, I love the people, the colour and sounds, the culture and its diversity. I have to keep going back. I really look forward to making unforgettable memories with you.
Moira
I am so incredibly fortunate to be a host for Travel Buddies! I'm so passionate about holidays, seeing the world, exploring different places, meeting new people, living my best life and creating some amazing memories and you can experience this too whenever you choose to join me! My goal is to make it easy for you to have those amazing, life-enriching experiences you crave with people who can become friends. Let's start exploring!
Sue
Hi, I'm Sue. I’m an avid explorer with a passion for uncovering hidden gems. I've journeyed through much of Europe, from island hopping in Greece to exploring the dramatic landscapes of Iceland, yet still have plenty left on my bucket list. My adventures have taken me beyond the continent too, from the colourful souks of Morocco to the sweeping plains of Tanzania, the beaches of Bali, and the stunning West Coast of America. Though I haven’t made it to Australia or New Zealand (yet!), I’m always ready for the next adventure and love sharing stories, tips, and inspiration to help others experience the magic of travel.
Gillie
I’ve been a host for nine years and love hearing about your favourite destinations that all you lovely Travel Buddies have visited. Every trip you share adds new places on my bucket list! While I’m passionate about seeing every corner of the globe, Asia and the Caribbean hold a special place in my heart. I can’t wait to meet you and share our travel stories and hear about all your favourite places too!
Yousef (Jo)
Hi I'm Jo and I will be your tour leader throughout the Middle East. I
have worked as a guide for many years in Jordan, my Motherland, as
well as having travelled extensively throughout most of the Middle
East.
I came to live in the UK in 2024 and I speak fluent Arabic, Mandarin and English.
I really look forward to showing you this incredible part of the world.
Kate
I really like variety in my travels. From cities to the countryside and the mountains to the sea, I am never disappointed, as I always find the very best things to see and do.
My favourite city breaks have probably been Rome, Berlin and Moscow and my greatest ever WOW moments, the Iguazu Falls in Brazil, white water rafting in Nepal and swimming in the gorgeous warm sea in Costa Rica, with pelicans diving for fish.
I love wildlife and beautiful views, snorkelling, walking and architecture. I very much enjoy being
active, but also relaxing with a book and a beer, or just with good company.
Phil
Hi, I’m Phil. Peru, Japan and Iceland have made my top three countries, however it’s so difficult to just pick out just three, as I find that every country, city and people has its own unique beauty. I’m happy people watching in Verona, exploring medieval streets in Slovakia or the bustling, busy markets of Bangkok. Being a fluent Spanish speaker I do feel particularly at home in Latin American countries and in Spain, especially Granada.
