My Mission
2015 - Present
If I was Jesus, May 2015 would be Easter. It was the death of my corporate life(less)style. The start of my 3 month notice period and things much more worth talking about.
I want to connect people from all towns, cities and countries around the world with different skills and skill gaps to mutually help each other find their fix.
Sustainability and responsible tourism is the key theme running through my work. I gave money to big charities in exchange for a volunteer programme that was more of a holiday to watch how my charitable donation was being spent by an organisation far less well organised than the one I had just left.
Volunteers wanted...

Paradise Yoga
2019
"Paradise Yoga offers classes that are fun and accessible. The goal is that clients will leave feeling fresher and fitter with a calmer, more clear mind. Classes are deliberately open level as part of the beauty of yoga is that all practises can be modified to meet different levels of fitness and experience.”
"Erin has been practising yoga for over ten years and last year qualified as a yoga teacher, certified with Yoga Alliance (RYT 200).
After leaving a career in the city and teaching yoga in Bali for a year Erin set up Paradise Yoga to preserve the calmness of mind and reserve a space for calm in London.
As an adult I always remember seeking more of a creative outlet in my life. It took courage to make some big changes. These are my guiding values."
Founded Paradise When
2018
BUSINESS TO BOHO - WHEN TIME IS THE ESSENCE
Feeling stuck on the corporate treadmill is tough as your rarely get more than 2 weeks at a time to go off an explore what else is out there and grow. I know because I've been there. I want to make it easier for you.
I create a more liberating travel experience that may even start before you leave with a life coaching and wellness session so you begin that shift in your mindset early. Free up mental energy with a packing list made just for you. Forget the jostling of taxi drivers at arrivals, you'll have a local, approved guide to collect you.
You may seek solace in getting back to basics in some meaningful volunteer work for a few days. Whether you want to get your hands dirty or not, "backpacker" is not just a budget, it's also an attitude of travelling solo and meeting diverse people. Maybe this attitude is your's but you'd prefer to rest in luxury. This is the classic compromise which you no longer have to make. I can keep you connected.
And mixing it up is good. A week of yoga, detox and meditation can be followed with a seamless contrast of beach parties, hiking up volcanos and taking a bicycle tour around local temples and wildlife.
Testimonials
Bespoke Travel Experiences
Peter Ambrosetti
Making Memories in Barcelona
“To say a consult from Paradise When is a game-changer on holiday would be a massive understatement. Words cannot express how valuable Erin's knowledge and planning was. She really took my request to experience the authentic local life by avoiding tourist-ridden areas to heart.
As an American, I'm taught to rely on Google Travel and TripAdvisor Ratings. While those can be helpful, they didn't feature any of the areas/locations suggested by Paradise When. My friends and I were able to visit places that at times weren't even "on the map".I had a fantastic experience in Barcelona thanks to Paradise When and cannot wait to use it again on holiday!”
Emma Walker
A Special Couples Vacation in Rome
"Using Paradise When to build my itinerary allowed me to understand aspects of my trip that I would have not known until turning up meaning I spend more time seeing and doing and less time planning!"
