Take me with you
Travel is most of my diary and the part of this work I love. Passport current, bag by the door, and no drama at either end.
An easy person to bring along
I am on a plane more weeks than I am not. That means I am practical about it: punctual at check in, dressed for wherever we land, and packed within the hour if a trip comes up at short notice.
I am comfortable being introduced as a friend, I am good at dinner with your colleagues, and I am perfectly content to spend the afternoon by the pool with a book while you work. Nobody has ever had to manage me on a trip.
Visas for the Gulf are in place, I hold a British passport, and I am happy to provide references in advance for anything longer than a weekend.

Where I go most
Not a limit, just the places I know well enough to be useful in. Anywhere else, ask.
Dubai & Abu Dhabi
My most frequent trip. I know the hotels, the hours and the discretion the city expects.
Paris
Two hours door to door. An easy weekend, and my favourite city to be taken to dinner in.
Monaco & the Riviera
Summer, mostly. Cannes, Antibes and St Tropez by car or by boat.
Geneva & Zurich
Quiet, efficient and used to guests who value privacy. Often a weeknight booking.
Milan & Lake Como
Shopping, a long lunch, and a drive north when the weather is right.
New York
A long flight, so a minimum of three days. Worth every hour of it.
Ibiza & Mykonos
Villa bookings from June to September, with my own arrangements handled.
The Alps
Courchevel, Verbier and Gstaad in season. I ski, and I am good company after.
How a trip is arranged
Simple, and settled well before we fly.
Tell me the dates
Roughly a week of notice for a weekend, two for anything longer or further. Last minute is sometimes possible, so it is always worth asking.
Flights and rooms
Booked by you, in my own name, and forwarded to me once confirmed. I fly economy happily on short haul and prefer business over six hours.
A deposit
Fifty per cent against the dates I am holding, with the balance at the start of the trip. It is the only booking where I ask for this.
Then simply enjoy it
From the moment you land I am yours for the days we agreed, with my own downtime built in so I am good company throughout.
What travel costs
Multi-day bookings are quoted individually, but the shape is always the same.
- The day rateTwenty four hours together is £4,000, and multi-day trips are quoted from that with a reduction for anything over three days.
- Getting thereFlights, accommodation, transfers and meals are covered by you and arranged in advance rather than settled between us.
- My time offA few hours to myself each day, which keeps me genuinely good company rather than merely present.
- DiscretionExactly as it is at home. Nothing shared, nothing posted, no photographs, and your name never mentioned.
