Finding the holiday is easy. Finding the right holiday for your family is different
If travelling with SEN, autism or additional needs means there is more to think about than simply choosing a nice hotel, you're in the right place.
Tell me what works for your family, what doesn't and what would make your holiday easier.
I'll help you to narrow down the options and find somewhere that genuinely fits your needs.

What would make your holiday easier?
Sometimes it's the things that don't appear in the brochure that matter most.
That could be:
- A quieter or smaller resort
- A short airport transfer
- A sandy beach close by
- Familiar or simple food options
- Less crowded surroundings
- A separate sleeping area
- Flexible dining
- Step-free access
- Airport assistance
- Somewhere quiet to retreat to
- Pools or waterslides
- Private accommodation
- Particular room location
- Shops or familiar restaurants nearby
- Keeping travel time as short as possible.
And if you're not completely sure what you need yet, that's absolutely fine.
You don't need to arrive with all the answers.
That's what the conversation is for.
BECAUSE THE LITTLE THINGS CAN MAKE THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE
You shouldn't have to fit your family around the holiday
Noise levels. Food. Crowds. Transfers. Sleeping arrangements. Busy restaurants. Changes to routine. Airport assistance.
Even something as simple as how far your room is from the pool, whether there is familiar food nearby, or whether there is somewhere quiet to go when everything gets too much can matter.
These details might seem small on a holiday brochure.
For some families, they're the difference between coping with a holiday and actually enjoying it.
That's why I don't believe in simply sending you a list of hotels and hoping one works.
I want to understand your family first.
Hi, I'm Duncan
I run Worldwide Breaks and specialise in helping SEN and neurodiverse families find holidays with their individual needs in mind.
I'm SEN qualified with additional qualifications in autistic behaviours and children's mental health.
But for me, this isn't about ticking boxes or assuming that every SEN family needs the same thing.
Every family is different.
One child might love a busy waterpark, another might need somewhere quiet and predictable. Food, crowds, noise, routines, transfers and even the layout of the hotel can all make a huge difference.
So before I start looking at holidays, I listen to you first.
Then I can start to narrow down the options based on what genuinely matters to your family.
Personal holiday planning from someone who understands that details matter.
How it works
Finding the right holiday doesn't need to feel overwhelming.
1. Tell me about your family.
Let me know who's travelling, roughly when you'd like to go and anything that could make travelling easier or more difficult.
2. I'll narrow down the options.
I'll look at the things that matter to your family - not just the destination, hotel rating or cheapest price.
You tell me what feels right, what doesn't and what you'd like to change.
We keep narrowing things down until we find a holiday that feels like a genuinely good fit.
3. We refine it together.
Tell me about your holiday
You don't need to know exactly where you want to go. Just give me the basics and tell me what matters to your family. I'll take it from there.
You're not asking for too much
Wanting to know whether a hotel will be noisy isn't being difficult.
Asking about food isn't being fussy.
Wanting a shorter transfer isn't unreasonable.
Needing somewhere quiet to step away from the crowds isn't something you should apologise for.
These things matter.
Tell me about them.
The more I understand about your family, the better chance we have of finding a holiday that feels right for everyone.
