Our Team

Kaye Schroeder

Favourite Holiday

It is hard to pick but I'd have to say my absolute favourite holiday is a European river cruise, closely followed by Switzerland by train.

Dream Destination

My dream holiday would be the Galapagos Islands – they have such amazing wildlife and exotic animals. Very different to my usual choices!

Interests

My first love is gardening, and of course travelling – I'm in the right job for that! I also love walking my dog Missy the border collie.

Experience

40+ years of experience.

Michelle Neuman
Travel Consultant
Favourite Holiday

The Cook Island was so lovely and peaceful. Down to earth and relaxed, it is an amazing place to recharge and unwind.

Dream Destination

Club Med Malaysia is on my list, as is anything active or hands on like an Active River Cruise or a family, cycle or food tour with Intrepid.

Interests

I love spending time with family and friends, cooking, quilting, and bike riding. I lift Kettlebells and compete as well.

Experience

12 years of experience.
