Experience-led travel. 
Thoughtfully curated.

Thoughtfully curated journeys shaped around feeling, atmosphere and unforgettable moments.

Martin, founder of Wanderlark Travel and luxury family travel specialist

Hello, I'm MARTIN!

“A truly memorable holiday is not just booked. It is carefully planned.”

I’m the founder of Wanderlark Travel, but more importantly, I’m the person you’ll speak to, plan with and trust to help bring your holiday ideas to life.

With experience and qualifications in Leisure and Tourism, along with specialist training across destinations, resorts, cruise lines and theme parks, I bring professional knowledge to every holiday I plan. However, I also believe that knowing the hotels and destinations is only part of the job. The most important thing is getting to know you.

No two families are the same, and no two holidays should be treated as though they are. What feels perfect for one person might be completely wrong for another. That’s why I take the time to understand how you like to travel, what matters to your family and what you want to remember when you return home.

As a dad myself, I understand that family holidays need to work for everyone. It isn’t only about finding a beautiful hotel or the lowest price online. It’s about the flight times, the room layout, the transfer, the food, the location and all those little details that can make the difference between a good holiday and one you’ll talk about for years.

I also have my very own Chief Child Approval Officer on the Wanderlark team — my daughter, Nancy. She provides the all-important child’s perspective, particularly when it comes to swimming pools, children’s clubs, theme parks, entertainment and whether somewhere genuinely passes the family-fun test. After all, adults and children can have very different ideas about what makes the perfect holiday!

Wanderlark Travel specialises in luxury family holidays, Disney and Universal adventures, cruises, Mediterranean getaways and carefully planned trips across the world. I also understand that accessibility, additional needs and individual circumstances can play an important part in choosing the right holiday. These details are never an afterthought; they are considered from the beginning.

I’ll always be honest about what I believe will work best for you. I’m not here to push the most expensive option or place you into a standard package. I’ll look beyond the obvious choices, explain the differences clearly and help you find a holiday that feels right for your family, your budget and the memories you hope to create.

Why plan with Martin?

The only question is how you want your holiday to feel.

Disney & Universal Knowledge:

Martin understands how exciting, detailed and sometimes overwhelming theme park holidays can feel. From resorts and tickets to timing, pace and practical planning, he helps make the process easier to navigate.

Luxury Family Travel:

Family holidays should still feel special. Martin helps match families with resorts, cruises and destinations that offer comfort, quality and the right balance between relaxation and adventure.

Tailored, Not Generic:

Wanderlark Travel is not about one-size-fits-all recommendations. Martin considers your family, your budget, your travel style and the little details that matter to you.

Thoughtful Accessibility Support:

With real-life understanding of disability, family travel and individual needs, Martin considers the practical details that can make a holiday feel calmer, easier and more enjoyable.

Personal Guidance Throughout:

You deal directly with Martin, giving you clear advice, personal support and someone who genuinely cares about getting your holiday right.

Best European Theme Parks for Families: Where Should You Go?

Best European theme parks for families including Disneyland Paris, Efteling, PortAventura and LEGOLAND Billund
Europe has some genuinely outstanding theme parks, but the best choice depends on your children, not simply the biggest rollercoaster. From Disney magic in Paris and Efteling's enchanting fairy tales to Spanish sunshine at PortAventura and LEGO-filled adventures in Billund, here are six European theme parks I would shortlist for a family holiday.

Extreme Day Trips & Extreme Overnight Trips: Why Everyone Is Talking About Them

Extreme Day Trips
What if you could leave the UK in the morning, stand high in the Swiss Alps by lunchtime and cross into Germany and France before bed? I tried an Extreme Overnight Trip for myself — four countries in under 24 hours — and finally understood why this fast-paced style of travel has captured so much attention.

Brela Croatia in April: Our Couples’ Spa Escape on the Makarska Riviera

Brela Croatia in April with clear Adriatic Sea and mountains on a couples holiday
A few days in Brela was exactly the reset we needed. We spent three nights at Bluesun Hotel Soline, mixing spa time with long walks beside the crystal-clear Adriatic and an unforgettable trip up to Skywalk Biokovo. April gave us beautiful weather, a wonderfully peaceful atmosphere and the chance to experience Croatia at a slower pace. If you’re looking for a couples’ escape with scenery, relaxation and a little adventure, Brela is well worth considering.
