It's Nice To Meet You
Does the thought of planning your next holiday feel overwhelming? Travel has become more precious since the pandemic so I expect you're looking for professional advice to understand exactly what you need to get the best from much-needed time away with your loved ones.
Hello, I'm Angela and as your personal Travel Counsellor, I’m here to take care of everything for you.
You can take advantage of my expert travel knowledge when I plan your trip for you. I care about your travels as much as my own. I’ll find out what's really important to you and what to avoid and then do all the time-consuming research. I’ll present you with some tailored options within your budget and then book everything for you. From flights and hotels, to airport lounges, car parking and insurance, taking all the stress and hassle out of organising your dream travel experience.
Think of me as your personal travel concierge, there for you throughout, with the backing of a world leading, international travel company, 100% financial protection and 24/7 duty office. When you hire me to plan your travel, you'll always have a real person to take care of everything, only a phone call away. Every trip I book is also 100% financially protected through the unique Travel Counsellors Trust. Having that peace of mind is not something you can find everywhere.
I've had wanderlust since I first went on a plane aged 12 and still love the excitement of going to the airport. I even had a set of matching luggage for my 21st birthday present. I skipped going to university to join Thomas Cook as a trainee, and have since worked in the travel industry for 25+ years at American Express Travel, lastminute.com and TUI delivering VIP service to clients in UK and overseas.
When you're ready to chat about your next adventure I'll be here to make it happen. Simply give me a call or use the ‘Contact Me’ links below.

Angela is swift to reply. She knows what type of accommodation we like so her quotes are always on or around our ideal. Angela takes the inconvenience- and pain - out of searching and choosing. That personal touch is worth its weight in gold. I have and will always continue to recommend her to everyone I hear considering a holiday.

...Angela was completely different and so it was a much better experience ...
We’d originally booked a trip to Rome for my mum and me in March 2020, which obviously couldn’t happen so we were refunded. My mum had some health challenges so once she was OK again, we rebooked.
Angela took care of everything- flights (including checking us in), hotel, tickets to a papal audience and airport transfers in Rome.
We had a bit of a problem when we arrived where our hotel was completely online and the details didn’t get passed on to me. But I called Angela on WhatsApp and she soon got it all sorted for us. Overall an excellent experience that I would recommend

Angela looked into a variety of different flight combinations and did several quotes for us, so that we got a good itinerary with flight times that suited us. She made us aware of the inclusive tour rate that we didn't know about and made some good recommendations for hotels. She saved us money as well as a lot of time.

I asked Angela to find me a summer break that would combine sightseeing with some poolside relaxation. She came up with several great ideas, and I ended up spending a week in a lovely hotel just outside Lisbon which ticked all the boxes. I would definitely recommend her services - she goes to great lengths to find the perfect holiday for her clients.

Angela is fantastic - every time the airline changes my flights Angela is already sorting out my seats and ensuring everything is Ok for my journey before I have even read the email from the airline to say it has been changed!

Angela’s service was amazing. The booking process was easy and when my seats to Australia were changed due to rescheduling of planes, Angela had fixed it before I even had a chance to email her about it. Travelling with a four year old and a baby to Australia is stressful enough without having added pressure of seat changes and the possibility we wouldn’t have had a bassinet seat!
She checked us in for the journey out (which was a nice touch to her service) and as I had no access/limited to the internet for the journey home she checked us in for this leg too!
I would highly recommend Angela to book your holiday with and will be using her again in the future .
Really pleased I booked with her and not online myself!

Cruise Short Breaks from Southampton: A Taste of Luxury at Sea

Short cruise breaks from Southampton offer the perfect escape – just a few days of relaxation, sightseeing, and luxury at sea. I recently enjoyed two unforgettable mini-cruises with my mum that gave us a real flavour of the cruise lifestyle. Our first voyage was with P&O Cruises aboard Arvia, heading to Guernsey. We stayed in a balcony cabin, enjoying sea views and the fresh air. Arvia’s public ar
