Travel Connex was created for people who want more from their travels than just a booking confirmation.
We believe travel should feel personal, exciting, and thoughtfully planned, from the very first conversation right through to the journey itself. Whether you are joining one of our hosted group trips or planning something custom, our focus is always on connection, care, and creating experiences that genuinely matter.
Our Approach to Travel
We take the time to understand how you want to travel, what matters to you, and what will make your journey truly memorable.
Travel Connex was founded by people who genuinely love travel and understand what makes a journey special.
After years of travelling, planning trips, and helping others navigate everything from simple getaways to complex itineraries, it became clear that many travellers were craving something different. Not rushed, cookie-cutter packages or impersonal online bookings, but real guidance, thoughtful planning, and travel experiences that feel meaningful.
Travel Connex was created to bridge that gap. A place where travellers feel supported, heard, and excited about what is ahead.
We specialise in:
We are not a booking engine or a one-size-fits-all agency. We are real people who care deeply about your experience and take pride in planning travel that feels seamless and enjoyable.
We take the time to listen, understand what matters to you, and guide you with honest advice shaped by real travel experience. From your first enquiry through to your return home, our role is to make sure your journey feels supported, clear, and genuinely enjoyable.
Our goal is simple: To make travel feel exciting, supported, and genuinely enjoyable from start to finish.
Travel is about people, not just places. Your experience, comfort & enjoyment always come first.

We are here before, during, and after your trip, offering support whenever it is needed.

Co-Founder | Travel Specialist & Logistics Expert
Hi, I’m Kelley, and I’ve been chasing horizons since I was ten years old. That very first taste of adventure sparked a lifelong passion that’s taken me to 71 countries and counting. Travel for me isn’t just about ticking places off a list; it’s how I connect with the world, with culture, and with people.
Over the years, I’ve worked across every corner of the travel world, from planning complex itineraries as a travel agent, to leading epic European tours with Contiki, to sharing destination insights through digital storytelling. These experiences have taught me not just how to plan great trips, but how to make them feel unforgettable.
My passion lies in group travel with purpose, bringing people together for journeys they’ll be talking about for years. I specialise in blending real-world travel know-how with thoughtful planning, so every trip feels truly meaningful.
Hey there! I’m Renee, a cruise-loving, globe-trotting explorer with 62 countries under my belt and a suitcase full of stories. I’ve always believed that life is better when you’re waking up in new places.
Cruising has always had a special place in my heart, there’s nothing quite like unpacking once and letting the ocean guide your journey from one incredible destination to the next. Along the way I’ve sailed with Royal Caribbean, Princess Cruises, Celebrity Cruises, P&O, and Carnival, and I know exactly how to help you choose the perfect cruise to suit your style, pace, and interests.
But my travel experience isn’t all at sea. With a background in ground operations and retail travel, I bring a deep understanding of logistics and planning, helping design journeys that flow effortlessly.

Travel is more than seeing new places, it’s about feeling them, sharing them, and connecting through them. We started Travel Connex because we believe nobody’s travel dreams should be put on hold simply because they don’t have someone to go with. We’ve met so many people who’ve said,
“I’ve always wanted to go to [dream destination], but I’ve never had the chance.”
We’re here to change that.
Travel isn’t just about where you go, it’s about the people you meet, the stories you collect, and the moments that take your breath away. Standing in front of the Pyramids of Giza, sharing laughter in a tucked-away Paris café, watching the sun set over the Serengeti, these are the moments that stay with you.
Whether you are dreaming of your first journey, your next big adventure, or something completely different, we will be right there with you, ready to plan, support, and celebrate every step of the way.
Whether you are dreaming about a future destination, ready to join a group trip, or looking for help planning something special, we would love to help.
No pressure. No obligation. Just honest advice and thoughtful travel planning.
We create well-planned travel experiences that connect people and inspire them to the world.
