My Story

Hi, and welcome to Ellie Escape!
I'm Ellie Grant, the founder, an Independent Travel Agent, and a Travel Business Mentor based in Essex. I launched my travel journey at the beginning of 2024 - and it’s taken off in ways I never imagined.

At the start of 2025, I was honoured to be recognised as one of the Top Travel Bookers in the UK - a milestone that reflects the dedication and love I pour into every client experience.

My love for travel was sparked during my university years when I took any chance I could get to jet off - mainly around Europe.

Since then, I’ve travelled to over 25 countries and had the pleasure of planning trips for all kinds of clients - from budget getaways and luxury escapes to corporate retreats and even celebrity bookings.

At Ellie Escape, I curate travel experiences tailored to every type of traveller. Whether you're dreaming of a romantic honeymoon, a multi-destination adventure, a last-minute city break, or a luxury cruise - I have the expertise and industry connections to make it seamless and unforgettable.

I’m also fully accredited with ABTA and ATOL, which means every trip you book with me is financially protected and fully secure - giving you complete peace of mind.

Beyond travel planning, I’m passionate about helping others get their travel credentials - because it truly changed the way I travel. As a travel business mentor, I support aspiring agents in turning their love for travel into flexible, rewarding careers. Watching my mentees grow their confidence and success is one of the most fulfilling parts of my work.

So - are you ready to plan your next escape?
