Being creative is not a hobby.
It's a way of life.
Alongside being a corporate lawyer I decided to take my passion for travel to another level. I am a UK qualified Independent Travel Agent, partnered with a number of leading and well known suppliers in the travel industry, including TUI, Shangri-La, Railbookers, Marriott, Olympic Holidays, Jumeirah and many more. This partnership, along with my passion for travel and depth of knowledge, allows me to provide you with complementary expert and tailored advice, some of the best rates on the market, and personal recommendations on many worldwide destinations, catering for all needs and budgets. Company and large group booking options are also available.

"I would love to say a huge thank you to Ruchika for getting me a great place for my minimoon in Santorini La Perla.
Ruchika was friendly, attentive & really listened actively to what my needs & wants were. Therefore, at the back of it she found the most amazing 5-star resort. The villa was fantastic. The breakfast, the caldera views & the location in the centre of Oia was very convenient.
During my booking there was several uncertainties regarding travelling due to the pandemic. However, Ruchika was a star who always kept us updated every month on restrictions update & the latest news. Ruchika even told us the best restaurants to attend, places to see etc. She went above & beyond and provided the best five-star client experiences I have ever had.
As I was getting married during the uncertainty times, I was busy with various tasks. However, Ruchika was there to reassure me that our Mini moon will go ahead & there will be some light at the end of the tunnel during the busy period I had.
Ruchika is an absolute gem who will not just book you the holiday but will be there anytime of the day to keep you informed & at your disposable for your needs & wants. Thank you so much Ruchika for your assistance of getting our mini- moon booked. I & Judie had the most amazing time & it will live long in our memory due to you."

"LaTrouvaille were approachable, responsive and gave us exactly what we asked for when looking to book our trip to a tropical island paradise. Although we ended up booking directly with BA (solely for the purpose of using an eVoucher that we received due to a cancelled Coronavirus trip), I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again! Thanks for all your help!"
~Rishi Naidoo
"I always work with La Trouvaille when I’m booking my trips. Ruchika’s enthusiasm shines through- she truly wants you to have the best time and the restaurant tips she provides are invaluable. I’ve never had a bad meal on her recommendations! She’s friendly and personable and will definitely find you the best deal."
~Louise Russ
"Ruchika provided an excellent service. I wasn’t sure exactly where to go for a long weekend staycation in July, only specifying the English countryside, with walks nearby and easily accessible by public transport from London. Ruchika suggested a couple of areas and within 24 hours had provided me with details of 6 lovely hotels for each location, with helpful hotel descriptions, different price options, and links to the respective websites. She also offered to provide other options if none of them were suitable, but one of them was exactly what I was after. Ruchika promptly booked my chosen hotel and offered to make restaurant reservations. It was the quickest and easiest holiday booking I’ve ever made! I will definitely be using her services again and have already recommended her to friends."
~Melissa O
"Having provided Ruchika with some vague requirements for a long weekend away somewhere in the UK, she provided me with multiple options, many of which fit the bill perfectly! Ruchika was professional and very responsive, narrowing down what was a really open brief. Would highly recommend!"

Travelling has always been my passion. Apart from visiting the popular tourist spots, I love to venture into the culture, food, and heritage of a destination to make me feel like I have truly experienced local life in that particular place. Here I'm sharing my experiences...visit regularly for updates!
Some of my favourite travel experiences...

U.K. Staycations
The Lake District
Best time to Visit: Summer, but it is an all year round option.
Budget: Depending on what type of trip you want, the Lake District is suited for any budget. Many people travel to the Lake District for at least a week and prefer a cottage/lodge as it is cheaper than hotels. However, there are many hotels in the luxurious category for those wanting something a little more.

The Cotswolds
Best time to Visit: All year round, but summer and December tend to be the most popular.
Budget: The Cotswolds is suited for any budget and will vary depending on what you want to do and what type of accommodation you want e.g. there are many award-winning spa hotels on the luxurious side as well as many cosy pubs with rooms for the lower end of the spectrum.

Worldwide Destinations
Tanzania
Best time to Visit: June to October
Budget: Safaris can be expensive although there are group options catering for solo travellers and backpackers. It depends on what type of holiday you want but generally an itinerary can be made suited for your budget.
Safety: Generally Tanzania is safe, especially when you are on a Safari or in a resort. The biggest thing to watch out for is pickpocketing and to avoid travelling alone at night.
If you want a once in a lifetime experience, this is the place to go…

Bali
Best time to visit: The dry season from May - October
Budget: Bali suits everyone’s budgets from backpackers to those wanting extreme luxury
Safety: Bali is extremely safe, especially for solo female travellers. Road safety is the biggest thing to watch out for, especially if you intend on driving a motorbike.
If you are looking for somewhere to escape to from the busy city life then look no further…

Tuscany, Italy
Best time to Visit: May-September (but generally any time of year is beautiful)
If you are a wine lover, this is the place to go…
Budget: Mid-high end range.
Safety: Tuscany is completely safe, but beware of pickpockets in major cities.
How to get there: Depending on which part of Tuscany you are going to, either Pisa or Florence airport are the best options.

Tulum, Mexico
Best time to Visit: November to April
If you want a boho-chic, yoga retreat, foodie centric, and low-key holiday, this is the place to go…
Budget: If you don’t mind staying in Tulum downtown rather than on the beach then this will be suited for a budget long-haul holiday. However, if you want to stay in the beach zone, you will be paying the price for this.
Safety: Generally Tulum is safe, and most crimes are between rival gangs rather than aimed towards tourists.
How to get there: Tulum is a 2 hour drive from Cancun airport. You can either hire a car or pre-book a shuttle transfer, or get the ADO public transport coaches but this will take much longer.
