Allow me to introduce myself…
Hi, I’m Blanche and as an independent travel consultant who has worked in travel for over 25 years, I have a wealth of knowledge and experience to share with my clients for all their travel needs. My longstanding relationships within the industry coupled with my own extensive travels allow me to expertly tailor your next holiday.
Who am I
Croatian born, travel has been in my veins from an early age.
I’ve lived in Dubrovnik, Austria and Germany before settling in UK in the mid 90-ies.
Three decades, one English husband and 2 grown up kids later, I’m still getting used to the weather.
Over the years as a family, we have been fortunate enough to explore all 4 corners of the world with some of our most memorable trips being Bali, Mauritius and Canada.
What I do:
Personal Travel – The benefits of my service shine when I plan bespoke personal travel tailored to each individual client. From extended family road trips around New Zealand, luxury cruise with Alaska and Rocky Mountaineer combined, multi stop Indian Ocean adventure, East Africa safari and beach to last minute multigenerational beach villa escapes, each holiday is unique and tailored to suit individual client’s needs.
Business Travel - I specialise in organising incentive conferences for anywhere between 10 to over 100 delegates. Coordinating the entire trip from flights, transfers, hotels, day trips and Gala nights allows my clients to enjoy the time away and leave the stress behind.
I also help with day to day business travel arrangements for small and large corporate clients freeing their valuable time to concentrate on what they do best.
Who are Travel Counsellors
Travel Counsellors are a large independent company which helps bring in the best deals and at the same time allows me to provide the care and attention of a personal contact on all levels.
Flexible booking is at the heart of our policy assuring your money and time are well looked after if any changes are needed.

I absolutely live and breathe travel and I love to write about my experiences! Please take a look through my posts - you might find your own holiday inspiration.

Visiting India in late September is not the coolest time to go but I was not going to miss the chance to see this incredible country’s iconic sights despite soaring temperatures! We flew overnight and arrived in Delhi next morning and most London flights would be scheduled like this allowing you to maximise your time in this bustling city. We had stayed at the Taj Palace hotel, one of the Luxur

Thailand, land of smiles! We had a week-long trip to a two of Thailand’s most iconic beach resort, Phuket and Phi Phi Island. As it was October, we were greeted with a proper tropical downpour, typical of this part of the Far East in early autumn. Luckily, it was still very warm and the rain lasted less than an hour. Blue skies did come back, mixed in with plenty of cloud cover for the rest of

Having been on a few long and busy holidays with family lately, we decided to go for a beach flop and drop option this summer. Portugal’s Algarve seemed like an ideal destination. With local flights and a great choice of quality accommodation, it was easy to find somewhere. On our arrival in Faro, we had a taxi waiting to take us to Lagos, our resort for the next 10 days. Lots of travellers wil

South Pacific, it doesn’t get much more exotic that this! We flew out on Air New Zealand (I got the use of their new Skycouch, 3 economy seats that convert into a small bed), via LA and Fiji Air onwards. It was a long way to go, a 24 hours flight, but we knew it was worth a wait. Fiji didn’t disappoint! Tour of Nadi followed. The local market was a riot of colours and activity. Fruit, v

I have always wanted to visit California; it is one of the iconic destinations that has to be on most people’s list! We decided to try and do and see as much as possible but allow enough time in each place so that we could have time to enjoy it as well. Tall order! Our first stop was Las Vegas- “Vegas baby!” (My kids forbade me shouting this out within hours of arriving!). Wynn hotel didn’t dis

Visiting Mauritius was always something I wanted to do. This trip started with a real treat, an upgrade to Club Class seats from London to Dubai and then again from Dubai to London. What a way to travel. We had a 2 hour connection in Dubai airport which is really big. Now, with the new Terminal building one can easily spend hours there. If you have any difficulty walking it is worth booking the

South Africa has always evoked many exotic images, so when an opportunity to visit it arose, I could not refuse. We arrived to Durban (via Johannesburg) mid-morning and headed straight to an area I have never heard of before, Midlands Meander. This was such a nice surprise as the countryside had gently rolling hills and place names like Nottingham, which made you feel like you were back in the

We flew out on Air New Zealand flights via Los Angeles. The long flight was one thing I was dreading with children age 6 and 10. I shouldn't’t have worried. There was so much for them to do during the two 12 hour flights, it went by quicker than expected. The touch screen TV with over 40 films on demand and games was used by all of us for most of the flight. The food was of a good standard and eve
