Your Personal Travel Designer

Hi, I’m Niki — travel lover, mum, sunrise chaser, self-proclaimed French onion soup connoisseur, and the heart behind Global Travel by Design. 

For over 21 years, I’ve had the privilege of creating holidays that truly reflect the people taking them. My own travels through 35 countries (and counting!) have shaped the way I design journeys today — with intention, care, curiosity and a deep appreciation for the small moments that make a trip unforgettable. 

My love for exploring began long before I worked in the travel industry. Over the years, I’ve wandered through ancient cities, immersed myself in busy, bustling cities, explored quiet islands, savoured local flavours and embraced cultures across the world. 

Those experiences taught me something important: 
A great holiday isn’t just about where you go — it’s about how the journey makes you feel. 

After two decades helping clients plan their dream adventures, I created Global Travel by Design to offer something more personal. Not generic. Not transactional. Something thoughtful, meaningful and completely tailored. 

Whether it’s a luxury escape, a family adventure, an expedition cruise around Antarctica, a white-Christmas in the French Alps, or a simple, relaxing getaway — I’m in your corner from the very first idea to the moment you land home. 

If you’re dreaming of your next adventure, I would love to design something truly memorable with you.
