Katie Fryer

Senior Travel Designer

Growing up, I was inspired by my father’s inquisitive mindset and his passion for exploring the world. I was fortunate to travel frequently throughout my childhood, primarily across the USA, Canada, and Europe. Before pursuing my degree in Mental Health Nursing, I spent a year traveling through India and Southeast Asia. At the time, I didn’t fully grasp the profound and positive impact these experiences would have on my work. Exploring and experiencing diverse cultures is something I will forever be grateful for, as working as a front-line nurse in A&E and within the criminal justice system demanded a deep understanding of different cultures, enabling me to provide truly holistic care.

After thirteen years in mental health care, I decided to pivot and apply my skills to the travel industry, becoming a luxury travel specialist for Southeast Asia. Most recently, I’ve had the opportunity to explore South America. Travel has had a monumental impact on both my career and personal life. Without certain trips, I wouldn’t have met some of the most important and influential people in my life. Travel for me has been truly transformative and I genuinely believe it’s crucial for people to better understand the world and care for the planet.

Whether traveling or at home in London, you’ll often find me exploring antique shops or hunting down great places to eat. I’m all about the details—the little things that create a big impact.

Number one unforgettable travel experience?

While traveling through the jungle in Sabah, Borneo, my colleagues and I decided to go on a nighttime safari. As the sun set, the sky turned into a breathtaking palette of iridescent colours, with the sun blazing like fire on the horizon. It was the evening before my birthday, and I thought the moment couldn’t get any better—until, as the sky darkened, a meteor shower began right above us.

Top of your travel bucket list?

Though a few destinations come to mind, I’m especially eager to explore Africa, particularly the Ngorongoro Crater. I’m fascinated by how it has formed its own unique ecosystem.

Who is your ultimate travel partner?

Apart from occasional family trips to Greece, I haven’t had the chance to travel with my father as an adult. I’d love to explore more of the world with him. I’d also love to bring my cat along whenever possible—he’s an adventurous spirit and loves the outdoors!
