About Us
Beyond The Wander is a fully independent travel planning business; tailoring bespoke trips and holidays with a focus on luxury experiential travel. We’re driven by our passion to become the very best at what we do and continually strive to expand our knowledge and develop our relationships so that we can deliver a truly special service.
Honesty and integrity are at the heart of everything we do and we channel that into each day, ensuring that we are offering you the very best quality and our unbiased opinion.

In our eyes, luxury doesn’t always mean 5 star deluxe hotels and limousine transfers (although they can certainly add to the trip). Luxury is the magical moments and feelings you get from certain destinations, the experiences that are hard to put into words. It can also be a sense of satisfaction you get from working with a company that cares about others and the environment as much as it cares about you! We want you to return home with luxurious memories that will last a lifetime and the happy vibes that last way Beyond The Wander…as well as a comfy bed!
Meet The Team
becs - founder/wanderer
For as long as I can remember travel has always been my ‘thing’, something I crave to keep me happy and sane. However, it was only a few years ago that I turned my passion into my job. I’d spent my 20’s carving out a career in television to become a producer/director at the BBC. Without question it was a job that I loved but in late 2014 something inside told me it was time for a change, so I (literally) packed my bags and moved to Vancouver, Canada.
Living in a city as beautiful Vancouver gave me the inspiration and opportunity to take a step back and think about the next direction I wanted to take my life. I’d always dreamt about being my own boss, I just wasn’t quite sure what I wanted to be my own boss of - if that makes sense? Travel has always been on my mind and tugging at my heart-strings, so it didn’t take long to figure out that maybe it was time to combine the two together. After returning to my Cheshire roots and following three years as Head of Retail for a local travel company, it led me here; to the creation of my very own travel business - Beyond The Wander.
My adventures over the years have led to some of the most wonderful and memorable moments in my life and I can’t tell you how lucky I feel to be able to share my knowledge and experience with you, my clients. I promise to always do my best to exceed your expectations in every part of the planning process, leading you on your own magical journey.
