About Kerry
Tailored Travel Planning with a Personal ToucH
Your Travel Expert
Hello! I’m Kerry Ellis, the creator of Kerry Ellis Travel – a travel agent, certified travel coach, and passionate explorer. I’m based in the UK and I’ve spent decades journeying across the world, experiencing everything from solo backpacking to luxury escapes, road trips with friends to unforgettable family adventures. Travel has shaped my life, and now, I use my expertise to help shape yours.
I know you’re not just looking for a holiday – you want an experience that excites and inspires – and getting it sorted needs to fit into your busy life. That’s where I come in. With my extensive industry knowledge, insider connections with airlines, hotels, and tourist boards, real life travel experience and a problem-solving mindset, I take care of the details so you can focus on the adventure.
Whether you want an expert insight into the best destinations, a meticulously planned bespoke itinerary or guidance to DIY your dream trip, I have lots of ways to help. Unlike traditional travel agents, I don’t believe there’s just one way to travel—I meet you where you are, whether that means handling every detail of your booking or inspiring and empowering you with the resources to plan it yourself.
BEYOND THE DESTINATION
Heart-Led Travel Services
At the heart of everything I do are my core values: EARTH – bringing Enthusiasm, Adaptability, Resourcefulness, Transformative experiences, and Honesty into every journey I create. Whatever your dream trip looks like, I’ll work my socks off to make it a reality.
Your Dream DESTINATION, My Expertise
Japan and Beyond
I plan bucket-list trips all over the world, but if there’s one destination where my expertise truly shines, it’s Japan. Whether you’re dreaming of cherry blossoms in Kyoto, the neon lights of Tokyo, or an off-the-beaten-path adventure in the Japanese Alps, I know how to craft an itinerary that balances iconic sights with hidden gems. From cultural etiquette to train passes, I make Japan effortless for you.
That said, my experience doesn’t stop there. I’ve personally travelled to – and helped clients explore – some of the world’s most incredible destinations, including:
East Asia
East Asia blends ancient traditions with modern innovation. From Tokyo’s neon-lit streets to Kyoto’s serene temples and Taiwan’s rugged coast, every journey is a mix of past and future.
South East Asia
Vibrant, diverse, and rich in culture, Southeast Asia offers adventure, stunning beaches, and unforgettable experiences like sailing Halong Bay or exploring Angkor Wat.
Australasia
Australasia offers breathtaking landscapes, unique wildlife, and laid-back luxury. From New Zealand’s fjords to Australia’s Outback, it’s perfect for adventure.
Indian Ocean
The Indian Ocean’s islands offer crystal-clear waters, pristine beaches, and barefoot luxury. From the Maldives to Mauritius and the Seychelles, it’s the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure.
