A Personal Note

My love for travel began in childhood, sparked by family adventures that inspired my desire to create the same experiences for my own children. In my twenties, I embraced adventure, teaching English near Geneva while immersing myself in the cultures of Switzerland, Italy, and France. Skiing became a lifelong passion, and exploring new destinations remains my greatest thrill.

I’ve always valued experiences over possessions, and now, with my young family, I’m constantly seeking new adventures—whether island-hopping in the Cyclades, savouring South Africa’s Winelands, or blending desert thrills with Middle Eastern glamour.

Before launching The Handmade Holiday Company, I spent years in investment banking, managing private travel and complex logistics for senior executives and high-net-worth individuals. This experience honed my expertise in planning seamless, high-touch travel itineraries with meticulous attention to detail.

The Handmade Holiday Company is the realisation of a lifelong passion, combining my love of travel, professional expertise, and commitment to creating extraordinary journeys for my clients. With full financial protection and the support of my dedicated back office team, I offer the same monetary value as online consumer platforms—yet something they never can: a truly personal, seamless, and tailor-made experience.

Sara goes above and beyond to make sure her clients have the best holiday imaginable!

Sara was an absolute delight from start to finish of our travel experience. She secured us a price for a week’s last minute holiday in Dubai at a cheaper rate than I could find anywhere else on the internet. Sara made sure that we were ready to fly, sending lots of useful reminders. When we arrived we were delighted to find a gift from Sara in our room, a delicious fruit and snack plate. She checked in with us during our holiday to make sure we were happy with everything.
I’d highly recommend letting Sara book your next holiday experience.
