Yvonne Grayston
Travel Expert
Hello, I’m Yvonne Grayston and I’m a Travel Expert at Thorne Travel.
While I’m relatively new to the Thorne Travel team, I’m certainly not new to the travel industry. I previously worked as cabin crew for Tui Airways for 30 years, which allowed me to experience lots of different destinations and explore new places.
Although I enjoyed having a change of career after leaving the airline my passion for travel never wavered, so when the opportunity came along to work with Thorne Travel I followed my heart.
One of the benefits of working in travel for so long is that I have had the privilege of visiting a multitude of countries and experienced a variety of cultures.
I have a vast knowledge of travel destinations worldwide and thoroughly enjoy sharing my honest opinion and insight with our customers.
Customer care has always been at the forefront of my career and it is my passion to provide a first class and personal service to all our wonderful customers.
Team work is a huge part of working for Thorne travel and being part of this amazing team is an honour.
Favourite Places
Kenya, Vietnam and Barbados are top of my list of places I have stayed. Strangest places I have visited would be Easter Island and The Falkland Islands. Most visited place is definitely Lapland to visit Santa !
Travel Tips
Your stomach rules your head so for combating jetlag always have a meal appropriate to the time of day you arrive in your destination – if you arrive early in the morning have breakfast before going to bed, if you arrive later at night have dinner before going to bed, even if it is your 5th meal of the day. Trust me it works !
