About Chris

Hi and welcome to my page

I specialise in holidays and travel to beautiful Spain and its Islands

After watching around 200 episodes of a ‘Place in the Sun’ and spending lots of time on holiday in the Costa Brava and the Balearic Islands , particularly Ibiza, we finally made the decision the back end of  2024 , to move out to Spain permanently..

We are very, very lucky and blessed to live in a very pretty, traditional town on the Costa Meresme called Sant Pol de Mar ,around 37 miles north of Barcelona, then around the same distance to Girona, so we are close to both Girona airport, which serves the Costa Brava, and Barcelona , perfect for a day trip or a long weekend .

I will be running my travel business from here, and lucky enough to be perfectly positioned to share my experiences and knowledge of this fantastic country, its food its, culture, coastline , and its people.

I will be posting a lot on social media about where I live here in Sant Pol, and particularly about the stunning coastline , towns and villages along the Costa Brava , which make a perfect holiday destination, with an amazing climate.

Although I live here and specialise in Spain, and all it has to offer as a holiday destination , I will try and find you your perfect holiday, whether its in Europe, or the other side of the world, and spend  a lot of time researching hotels, accommodation, facilities, what’s going on in and around the area where you are staying, and what there is to see and do for my customers while on holiday, so you don’t have to.

 Whether it’s for a family, a couple, group, business, or as a solo traveller, beach holidays, special occasions, honeymoons, bucket list, culture and foodie tours, cruises, city breaks, I want you to have the best time while you are away. I have spoken to too many people who have had a bad holiday experience, where the holiday they were sold was not the holiday they experienced.

I will listen to what you want , and come up with options  based on what’s important to you , and what you have asked for, and will do my best to create an amazing travel experience and send you on a trip that you will remember for all the right reasons, not the wrong ones, with memories that will last a lifetime, no matter what your budget.

As a AITO specialist tour operator, I am lucky enough to have access to over 450 of the best suppliers , which means that whatever your budget, I will find a holiday that fits. All are ABTA / ATOL bonded to offer complete peace of mind when you book your next package or tailor made travel experience

Please feel free to call me for a chat, or email me , daytime , evenings or weekends with any questions, or for advice on your next package or tailor made travel experience, I am always happy to help.

Never just a holiday, always and experience…….

What Customers are saying about Chris

We had the pleasure of booking a weekend away with Chris to New York this year. Right from the start, Chris showed his worth and VFM with videos of the choices of places to stay, recommendations on where to go and what to do. We felt in safe hands knowing Chris had secured us the best deal, in the ideal location, taking care every step of the way to ensure most if not all our requests were taken care of  with the minimal of fuss. We will use Chris for all our bookings both work and personal from now on, and I highly recommend him to one and all. A 5-star service from start to finish. Thank you, Chris.
My Bucket list priority has for a long time been to see the famous tulips in Amsterdam. They're my favorite flower of all and I've been hoping to go for years. I casually mentioned it to Chris of Travelosophers at less than two weeks’ notice, and he managed to come up with a range of hotels in the city for perusal plus book our flights and all required tickets. However he didn't just book the airline and send through these hotel ideas - he prepared a whole online presentation. This showed photos galore and explained where each hotel was in relation to museums, coffee houses, restaurants transport, as well as providing testimonials and helpful comments for each place. Chris also arranged for transportation to the tulip gardens some distance away and obtained/printed out our tickets in advance. This turned out to be most helpful because by the time we landed in Amsterdam, all tickets for the weekend visitors to Keukenhof Tulip Gardens had sold out. People were being turned away - but not us! We had also had pre-checked in flights, to make the airport part easy with priority boarding too - so all the hassle of the weekend was removed, leaving son George and I free to enjoy all the fun of Amsterdam’s cafes, restaurants, tram system, culture, tulips and people. We had a magical time thank you so much Chris. Bucket list TICKED! :D
