Planning holidays people talk about for years
I'm Ellie Whatley, an independent travel specialist based in South Wales. I plan personalised trips from start to finish, doing all the hard work so you can focus on making amazing memories.
"A great holiday doesn't happen by accident."
It takes someone who asks the right questions and cares enough to get the details right.
I started Escape with Ellie because I wanted to give people the kind of travel experience that online booking tools can't deliver. Not just a flight and a hotel, but a trip that's thought through from the moment you leave your front door to the moment you get home.
I love travelling with my husband and two children. For me, holidays have always been about so much more than going somewhere new. It is about having that precious time to properly switch off and create memories that last long after the suitcase is unpacked and stories that are told time and time again. Whether it's a big family adventure, a relaxing getaway with friends or a special trip to celebrate something important, I love helping people find the right holiday tailored for them to create these memories.
I've planned a whole range of holidays including: Caribbean cruise for two families travelling together, a five-week itinerary through Singapore, New Zealand, Australia and Bali, a road trip across Nashville, New Orleans and Memphis, and a trip to British Columbia built entirely around filming locations from the TV show Virgin River. Every one of them was different. Every one of them personalised to ensure it met my clients needs.
That's what I love about this job. No two trips are the same, and every client deserves a holiday that's genuinely theirs.
