About Sheena

Born in Scotland to Yorkshire parents, I grew up in Lancashire and am now based here with my young family.

My name is Sheena Umpleby...

Previously, I’ve lived in Florida and Australia. And yes, my accent can sound a bit weird at times!

I hold a degree in International Tourism Management. Following 15 years working in various travel roles and travelling the world, I became an independent travel expert – and I can honestly say I have never looked back.

Honeymoons and special occasion trips are what I book most often, as well as multi-centre holidays to long-haul destinations. My most frequently booked destinations are South Africa, Thailand and Mauritius.

Colombia and Ecuador are my joint favourite countries for having the most spectacular landscapes; New Zealand takes the crown as the ‘best place to get lost’; and my joint winners for friendliest destination are Canada and Brazil.

Travel is such a huge part of my life – and I consider myself to be very lucky, as I get to spend my days sharing my passion for discovering the world and helping people to actualise their travel dreams.
