Your holiday. Thoughtfully made yours.

No copy-and-paste itineraries. No one-size-fits-all holidays. Just thoughtful travel planning shaped around you, your people and the way you love to travel.

PLAN MY TRIP

Not sure where you want to go yet? That’s absolutely fine.

TRAVEL PLANNING, YOUR WAY

How can I help?

Whether you already know what you want or need help shaping the whole journey, choose the level of support that feels right for you.

01

Find & Book

You already have a destination or a clear idea in mind and would like trusted help finding and booking the right options.

  • Flights, hotels and resorts
  • Private transfers and experiences
  • Thoughtful alternatives when a better option exists
HELP ME BOOK

02

Design My Trip

You want more than separate bookings. I’ll shape a personalised journey around your people, pace, priorities and budget.

  • Destination and route planning
  • Carefully selected stays and experiences
  • A polished, easy-to-follow itinerary
DESIGN MY TRIP

Not sure which option suits you? Your first conversation is complimentary, and we’ll work it out together.

WHY WORK WITH ME

Thoughtful planning goes beyond finding a hotel.

It’s about making the whole journey work for the people taking it.

01

Personal to you

Every recommendation is shaped around your travellers, pace, priorities and budget—not copied from a standard itinerary.

02

Independent recommendations

I compare options based on what genuinely suits your trip, rather than forcing every holiday into the same supplier or package.

03

The details matter

From realistic timings and transfers to dietary preferences, prayer stops, children and family pace—the small details are considered.

04

A real person throughout

You speak to the same person from your first conversation through to the final plan. No anonymous call centre.

HOW IT WORKS

A thoughtful plan, without the overwhelm.

You bring the ideas—even the half-formed ones. I’ll help turn them into a trip that feels clear, considered and completely yours.

01

Share what you have in mind

Tell me about your dates, travellers, budget and what matters most. No fixed destination yet? That’s absolutely fine.

02

Choose the right support

We’ll have a complimentary conversation and decide whether Find & Book or Design My Trip suits you best.

03

Let me bring it together

I’ll research, refine and organise the details so you can travel with clarity, confidence and something wonderful to look forward to.

START PLANNING

You pack. I’ll plan.

MEET YOUR TRAVEL DESIGNER

A real person behind every thoughtful journey.

Hi, I’m Ruqayyah, founder and Chief Travel Designer of Your Next Door Traveller.

My story has taken me from India to Dubai, Melbourne and now the Netherlands. Living across different cultures taught me that a meaningful holiday is never one-size-fits-all.

I bring that perspective, careful research and genuine attention to detail to every trip I help shape—so your holiday feels right for you, not copied from somebody else’s itinerary.

Your holiday should feel like yours.
