"A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions." - Oliver Wendell Holmes My first travel experience was aged 13 on a school exchange to Brittany, hardly speaking any French at the time but it started my love of exploring new cultures and cuisines and making new connections. Funnily enough my next trip overseas was a school skiing trip aged 15 and it was the new cuisine that turned me vegetarian, a horsemeat burger changed me forever. My plans to be the physio for the Welsh National Rugby team were then diverted into a career in Travel and in 1986 moved from a tiny hamlet in Mid-Wales to the bright lights of Ealing in West London for my Business Studies and Tourism course. Since then I have been fortunate enough to visit over 50 counties around the globe and believe each trip has left me richer for the experience, such is the joy of travelling - be that chatting to the barman at the beach shack bar on the pristine sands in Anguilla to incredible sights and sounds in Uruguay during their annual carnival, meeting locals and sharing food on an overnight train in Vietnam to trying to learn the cultural dance in Czechia, it is these interactions that leave a lasting memory and make travel so inspiring. Along the many, many years in the travel industry I have had amazing roles at some of the biggest brands and all this experience has led to many contacts around the world that are on hand to share the latest insider tips. Now I am part of the award winning Travel Counsellors community a global network of likeminded individuals who believe in providing the ultimate service and care in planning, curating and designing the best escapes for you. So if you are ready for your mind to be stretched by a new experience and simultaneously be eased in the knowledge that you are getting exceptional service and value and the utmost in financial protection then please get in touch, I cannot wait to be your escapologist.

Hi, Bonjour, Ola, Konnichiwa …. my name is Ana … thank you for taking the time to read my profile.I grew up on the beautiful Portuguese island of Madeira, a lifetime away from the busy lifestyle I enjoy in Banstead, Surrey today. It was in Madeira that as a child, I first looked out across the Atlantic Ocean and dreamed of travel to vibrant cities, various cultures and the most beautiful of remote sandy beaches. I loved my home, but the desire to explore was too much and I took off travelling the world in my early twenties living, working and spending time in Australia, Thailand (Ko Samui) and other parts of the Far East and the remote Perhentian Islands. On later trips, I managed to cover Mauritius and parts of Africa. It was a truly wonderful time learning about people, culture and most of all…about myself!It’s now a couple of decades later and along the way I have got settled and married to my husband Paul and now enjoy the journey of being a mum to my beautiful daughter. Fortunately, my family enjoy the joy of travelling as much as I do, so we have been lucky enough to have visited many parts of Europe, The Middle East and the United States. Florida continues to be a big favourite with all of us particularly the theme parks of Orlando and the surrounding areas.Becoming a Travel Counsellor felt like a very natural step for me, it allows me to work around my daily schedule but most importantly work in an area that I love. Booking a holiday is an exciting time for all of us and should always be an enjoyable and fun experience. I take great pride in what I do, in listening to the needs and expectations of my clients and in being meticulous in getting both the big and little things just right for you. There is nothing better than a happy client coming back with excited tales on a great trip. I so look forward to hearing from you be it for a family holiday in the UK or abroad, a romantic honeymoon, a luxury cruise, beach holiday, ski trip or quick city break. I am here to make the whole experience a delight and help you create memories that will always bring a smile and last a lifetime. I would like you to think of me as your trusted personal travel expert available around the clock ensuring that your holiday experience is nothing less than perfect.

My name is Sharon Messett and I have more than 30 years’ experience in the travel industry, including 20 working as a Travel Counsellor. It’s a role I love, as it gives me the chance to embrace my passion for travel on a daily basis, exploring new destinations through my research as well as returning to old favourites. I find it enormously rewarding helping my clients find the best experience possible for the type of holiday they want, whether it be a ‘flop and drop’ family beachside holiday, or a luxury retreat.I have been fortunate to have travelled extensively myself; including trips to Australia, New Zealand, the South Pacific, Southeast Asia, Africa, North America and the Caribbean, and have gained intimate knowledge of these long-haul destinations. Now that I have children, I am enjoying discovering more short-haul destinations around Europe including some amazing road trips with them to central Europe. For me, one of the best things about travel is the freedom that it gives you – travel brings anticipation, education, excitement and the joy of adventure into your life!TRAVEL WITH A CONSCIENCE My travels have also shown me the positive and negative effects of tourism; at its best when it is supporting communities who rely on visitors for their income, and at its worst where over-tourism has had a detrimental effect on locals and the environment. Over time, this has given me the opportunity to reflect, and I have realised that I have a growing interest in sustainable tourism. I would like to help you to find holidays and destinations which are amazing experiences and have a minimal impact or preferably offer positive environmental footprints.Travelling sustainably and responsibly is becoming increasingly more and more important for many travellers, and as your Travel Advisor I can carefully consider how to assist in building your perfect itinerary to make your trip kind to both people and our planet. I believe that sustainable travel also helps us to have more authentic travel experiences – visiting unspoilt places and immersing in the local culture is one of my passions, and one that I share with many of my clients.BOOK WITH ME AND I’LL LOOK AFTER YOU When it comes to travel, it’s important to know that you are booking with someone dependable, who you can trust, and who understands your precise needs every step of the way. The close relationships I build with each and every one of my clients, and the levels of care I can provide as your Travel Advisor, means that no-one can look after you better than I will. It makes me extremely proud to know that so many of my customers have recommended my services to their family, friends and associates. Being an independent Travel Advisor means I am not restricted to using only major holiday companies and allows me to create the perfect trip for you. Booking through Travel Counsellors also gives you security, as your money is completely financially protected against supplier failure by ATOL and the unique Travel Counsellors Trust.LOOKING AHEAD – PLAN YOUR GETAWAY I am sure that many of you, like me, want to plan a holiday for 2025/2026 - to have something to look forward to. Let me provide you with first-hand expertise and information to inspire your next adventure and let's see where the next year takes you.If you are unable to travel yet, then the next best thing to travelling is talking about it and planning it. Therefore, if you can't yet go where you want to just yet, let's discuss your plans instead. Please give me a call or send me an email and we can have a chat!

My mission is for us to get to know each other so you feel comfortable just picking up the phone or sending me a message anytime you feel the need to escape and you know I will do my utmost to create or find exactly the holiday you are looking for. So why choose me?A little about me…My husband thinks I am annoying because “I have been everywhere”. “Have you been to the Maldives? Have you been to Japan? ‘course you have” with a role of the eyes. Well, no, not exactly….I haven’t been everywhere just yet but I am working on it! It helps that I used to be a scuba diving instructor, an entertainment team member as well as a shore excursions manager on cruise ships for 3 years where I was lucky enough to do one of my 2 epic round the world trips. I also worked for a travel insurance company, a car hire company, a luxury cruise call centre, a well known high street travel agent and a couple of large hotel chains. Now as your personal TC, my travel experience is finally not annoying anymore! This is how I can give you advice, recommendations and put my knowledge and passion to good use. At your service. And this service comes at no extra cost to you. From Svalbard to Antarctica and twice around the world including Australia, New Zealand, the East and West Coast of the USA, French Polynesia, the Cook Islands, Fiji, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, around South America, the Caribbean as well as South Africa, India, Namibia, China, Japan and a lot of Europe too, I have been very lucky to have travelled or lived in amazing places. All these adventures slowed down when I had my first boy and suddenly, all inclusive holidays and cruises turned into just the thing I dreamt of (and needed!) so I have that kind of first-hand experience too. I am Jill, mum to Sienna, 8, and Enzo, 16, citizens of the world currently living Heybridge near the beautiful village of Maldon in Essex with my husband Leigh, now a retired firefighter and our cockapoo called Bentley. And why Travel Counsellors?With us, it's personal.From our first contact to find out all about your dream holiday to your return, I am with you all the way with 24/7 support wherever you are in the world.With us, it's also peace of mind.The Travel Counsellors Financial Trust provides 100% financial protection on everything you book with us.With us, it’s convenient too.I am available at a time that suit you as I can work from anywhere anytime.

You can then give me a thumbs up, request to book and pay securely through the app, If you are arranging a trip for a group, each of you can get access to the app and make their own payment.

Hello, I am Annabelle Marshall, your Travel Counsellor located in Ascot. Before joining Travel Counsellors, I was lucky to have spent most of my career working with some of the top Tourist Boards & hotels in the Caribbean as Director of Sales & Marketing. I have travelled extensively in this region and as much as this is my specialist area, I have also visited many parts of the world with work plus on my own holidays. Travel is my passion.I use my travel knowledge and great contacts in the travel industry to assist in designing a tailor-made holiday that suits all your requirements. I will call upon these contacts for their personal service to enhance your stay. Apart from my beloved Caribbean, my favourite places to visit stretches from Richard Branson’s Casbah Tamadot in Morocco to the calm and luxury of One & Only’s Reethi Rah Resort in the Maldives. South Africa’s individual safari lodges and an Asian river cruise from Vietnam to Cambodia, a photographer’s delight. Europe is also on my favourite’s list, I enjoy a quick city break and return time and time again to Italy and the Greek Islands. I chose to work with Travel Counsellors because they are one of the largest independent agents in the UK. I have worked with them as a supplier since they started some 25 years ago.

Hello, my name is John. I live in rural, Leicestershire. I’m a Kiwi living in the UK for the past 25 years. I initially came to England to play cricket, but soon realised my enthusiasm and love for the game outweighed my skills! So, I turned to another of my passions, travel. Which I have worked in ever since.Before becoming a Travel Counsellor, I have worked in various roles in airline operations customer services and for tour operators. In these roles, I have been lucky enough to travel to over 50 countries with excellent first-hand knowledge of New Zealand, Australia, USA, Singapore, UAE, Bangkok, Hong Kong, South Africa, Kenya, Morocco, Venezuela, Uruguay, Brazil, Argentina and most of the Caribbean and Europe. I have had some truly interesting and wonderful experiences along the way. My passion for travel started as a boy growing up in the small, fragrant (those that visit will know why) city of Rotorua. I was fascinated by all these foreigners who were visiting which sparked something inside of me to want to do the same one day. I can find you the perfect bespoke holiday that suits your every need and I can take the stress out of you looking through 100's of websites. I will also take care of every aspect of your trip including airport parking, transfers, Visas, excursions to name just a few.As a Travel Counsellor, I use the very latest technology and working with all the leading tour operators I can offer the best value, best choice available. This technology also enables me to work from home which means I am available anytime to speak, when it suits you, offering the best personal service.Please get in touch, we can have a chat about your likes and dislikes and see where it takes us.

I’m Karen and I’m an adopted northerner living in Sale, Manchester. I’m passionate about travel and love to share my experiences (and photos) and inspire others to do the same. The joke amongst my friends and family is that ‘I am always on holiday’ (if only that was true). I’m lucky to have travelled widely over the years and have been to over 50 countries. Favourite destinations include Brazil, Mexico, Japan, Australia, Italy and Spain with Cambodia having a special place in my heart as I lived there for several months whilst volunteering.Before becoming a Travel Counsellor I worked in marketing for 25 years, for big names such as Virgin and most recently for Marketing Manchester, the tourist board promoting the city region to the world. Now it’s the other way around and I hope I can promote the world to the lovely people of Manchester (btw you don't need to live in Manchester for me to be able to help you with your travel plans). I would love to hear about your holiday ideas and what’s important and of interest to you to then enable me to create a bespoke travel itinerary. This might be a beach holiday in Europe, a short city break, a long-haul once in a lifetime trip, off the beaten track somewhere, an all-inclusive cruise and not forgetting breaks in the UK too. Flexibility and availability are important – I am available on the phone, email or to meet in person and this can be outside of ‘normal business hours’ if that suits you better. You will get great personal service from me along with the 100% financial protection of Travel Counsellors. Please get in touch to see how I can help you to plan and book your next trip. Happy holidays!

Hi. I'm Joel. I have one ambition: Holidays don't have to be dreams, they can be a reality. My experiences began early. My mother was a travel agent for both business and leisure, before deciding to create her own travel business in the 1980s. So you could say, I grew up in travel and that travel is in my DNA.Though I did veer off and did a degree in Law with the Open University, this was a great experience and one which has guided me well in the legalities of the package travel regulations. I decided travel is where I want to be, and have over the last 20+ years worked for my many business and leisure travel operators and you could say I'm now carrying on in my mother's footsteps. Travel has so many benefits. I'm proof of that, and have been lucky to see so many countries, cultures, resorts and… experiences.After more than twenty years in the industry, I've decided to branch out and become an independent travel expert with Travel Counsellors and put the knowledge I have to use with helping build memories for all my clients.?So if you are looking for a holiday dream, then allow me as your Travel Counsellor to make these into a reality.Thanks-Joel

**Luxury Travel, Tailored Just for You**Your dream holiday deserves more than a click-and-book service. I’m Kerry, an independent Travel Counsellor based in sunny Poole, Dorset, and I specialise in creating bespoke, stress-free escapes that are as unique as you are.I’ve been helping clients plan unforgettable trips for many years, and my passion for travel runs deep. I’ve explored everywhere from the wilds of Canada’s Yukon - where I watched the Northern Lights dance across the sky and flew over glaciers, to the sugar-soft sands of the Maldives, the vibrant energy of Florida & Walt Disney World, the breath-taking wildlife of South Africa’s Eastern and Western Capes, the crystal-clear waters of Croatia, the unspoilt charm of the Greek Islands, the rugged beauty of Sardinia (where I honeymooned over 20 years ago), and the magical snowscapes of Lapland on an unforgettable snowmobile voyage.Every journey I’ve taken inspires me to create truly personal, one-of-a-kind holidays for my clients. I believe travel is about moments, not just destinations, whether that’s sipping cocktails on an overwater deck in the Maldives, wandering through cobbled streets in Santorini, spotting wildlife on safari in South Africa, or watching the sun set behind the mountains in Canada.Because I work independently within Travel Counsellors, I’m not tied to any airline or operator.

Hello, my name is Louise and I live in Swinton, Greater Manchester with my little girl. I started my career in travel 19 years ago, after leaving school and worked my way up quickly from YTS to branch manager of a high street shop. In more recent years I have enjoyed working for a luxury tour operator and have been lucky enough to travel the world, just a couple of highlights would be island hopping in the Seychelles and a tour of Southern, Central and Northern Vietnam. I offer a professional, friendly and efficient service and coupled with the award winning technology provided by head office it really is a winning combination. I decided to join Travel Counsellors as I have built up fabulous relationships with my clients having looked after many of them for 15 years plus.

With travel being so important to me understandably I want to see the world and have already managed to travel to many of the States of America, numerous Caribbean islands, Greek islands and cities across Europe, the Far East including Thailand, the Middle East, Oman and Egypt, India, the Indian Ocean and Namibia in Africa. This has given me a wealth of knowledge and first-hand experience of numerous destinations which only aids me in planning your adventures, I can tailor-make exactly the right holiday to suit both your desires and needs. I specialise in worldwide long haul destinations, cruises, family holidays, touring holidays, weddings, honeymoons, ski breaks, city and country weekend breaks, worldwide ski, rail holidays and in business travel. No itinerary is too big or too small nor are there such thing as silly questions, please don’t ever hesitate to ask. I often get asked where my favourite destinations are and for me a holiday must have some aspects of relaxation mixed with plenty to do, lots to see and new experiences to undertake. In Europe the destination for this would be, the Greek islands and Italy. In the USA, my number one state would be California. The Middle East, Oman, although if you are into history like me, Egypt is a must. In the Indian Ocean, by far the best is Mauritius. In the Far East I’d always pick Thailand, it’s so diverse. I also am a lover of cruises and have been fortunate to have been on quite a few. My best trip ever has to be Namibia. In 2005 I was fortunate to fly to Windhoek, Namibia when we then drove to Ongava on the edge of the Etosha National Park. This is one of the best places to see the ‘big five’ and it lived up to all expectations. We then travelled to Sossusvlei to see the sand dunes, another must see. Followed by, Swakopmund to see dolphins and the Skeleton Coast which is home to millions of seals. Adding in some history we visited Twyfelfontein to see the ancient rock engravings and drove through Damaraland to see the desert elephants. We stayed in the most beautiful individual luxury lodges for 3 nights, making the most of the early morning and evening game drives. We ended the trip with a visit to the world famous Africat Foundation in Okinjima to see the cheetahs which truly was the cherry on top of a fantastic trip.I regularly post offers and deals on my social media, so make sure you check out my page and give me a follow to make sure you don’t miss out. I look forward to discussing your travel plans with you.

Hi, I am Lesley Hill and a Travel Counsellor proud to be based in my home city of Glasgow, where I live with my husband and two daughters. I cannot wait to create amazing holidays and bespoke itineraries to turn your travel dreams into realityMy passion for travel started at a young age, when I went on a swimming club exchange to Orlando, Florida aged 11. I realised there was a whole world out there waiting to be explored. As a student, I then spent two summers working and travelling across Canada and spent a month backpacking on the Amtrak in the USA. At this point I was well and truly hooked and knew I wanted to have a career in the travel industry. Prior to becoming a Travel Counsellor I worked for over 20 years with an award winning high street travel agent. During this time, I gained a wealth of knowledge and experience so I know what it takes to make a fantastic holiday. From different airlines, routes and stopovers, to luxury accommodation and tours, I can advise with ease. I have a high repeat client base and pride myself in offering the personal touch and attention to detail. I very much value these relationships and hope to develop many more in the future. I have also been lucky enough to experience some amazing places. From trekking to Annapurna base camp in Nepal, diving with seals in the Galapagos, watching the sunrise over Malaysia from the top of Mount Kinabalu in Borneo, to driving through the Namibian dessert in a 4x4 on my honeymoon. No matter what you are looking for I can organise anything from a short European city break, a surprise visit to see Santa in Lapland, a Cruise in the Caribbean, a motorhome holiday in the USA, a multi-centre Australia and New Zealand itinerary or just a fly and flop beach break in Mauritius. I will get to know you and your requirements and make the experience a happy and enjoyable one. As your own personal Travel Counsellor, I can be totally flexible and available whenever suits you. If evenings work better – then give me a call. Being independent means I can offer a great selection of products, a great price as well as full financial protection and back-up including the Travel Counsellors Financial Trust. I look forward to hearing from you and being able to create your perfect holiday and turn those dreams into reality.

Thank you so much for visiting my page. You might not realise it yet, but by being here, you’re supporting a genuine small business. One where every holiday I plan, starts with truly listening to what matters to you. After 16 wonderful years working in the travel industry, I took a leap of faith in 2025 and launched my own travel business. Those years were filled with incredible opportunities, from coordinating large group getaways and overseas weddings to working alongside tourism boards across the USA, Caribbean and Canada, helping travellers discover new destinations. Early in my career, I was the friendly face at your high street travel agency, and more recently, I supported exciting digital projects at Travel Counsellors’ head office.Now, I pour all of that experience into designing holidays that are unique to you. I take the time to truly get to know my clients... asking the sort of questions that many travel companies simply won’t.

Planning a holiday should be fun, right?If you’ve happened across my page, then I’ve probably come recommended to you (hi!), or you’re going round in circles looking for advice you can trust.I know there’s a million ways to book out there, but I also understand it can be totally over-whelming, time-sapping and infuriating.And whilst saving you from all those admin headaches is a part of what I do, having a Travel Counsellor is also about so much more…Back in 2018, after a decade working for various big names in the travel industry, I decided to take the plunge and put everything I’d learned into starting my own thing.From the off, my little business has been about personal, warm and truly human service. I’m not here for selling and targets, I’m not going to push a certain thing on you because it suits me. I’m small-scale, I know my clients by name, not by booking reference. I’ll find out about you: what you love, what you hate, what’ll make things extra special and then I’ll work to bring it to life, all wrapped up in a level of 24/7 care that you know you can rely on.So, what can I help you with? Well, the world’s your oyster, really. You might have an idea, or just an inkling of the kind of thing you’d like. I’ll take your lead and work in the best way to suit you.First and foremost, I’m a fully ATOL-protected tour operator, meaning I can design you anything and everything with complete financial peace of mind. Whether that’s a city or a beach break, an ocean or river cruise, or a complex multi-centre adventure, I’ll suggest locations, hand-pick hotels and tweak and tailor until it’s just right for you.I’m also an independent travel agent, so, depending on what you fancy, I can help you choose from a wide choice of tried and trusted third party suppliers too. That means I’ll do all the legwork to compare the options, and present you with a whittled down list of what works and why.I’ve found that you can’t have this conversation without talking about price. I’m always completely transparent that while my prices are fair, I’m not here to try and beat online or DIY arrangements where there’s little to no care, service or protection involved. However, with direct relationships with a whole world of hotels, airlines, cruise companies, adventure specialists, experience providers and much more, I’ll work my socks off to get the right thing, at the right budget. If you’re not sure if I can help, please just ask. I’ll always give you an honest answer.Ready to stop reading, and start planning? I’d love to help. I’ll work flexibly around you, so get in touch and we can arrange a time to chat.

I am super excited to be your Travel Counsellor and thank you for trusting me with your dream holiday. I have a wealth of travel experience to share with you and there is nothing I love more than to talk about all things travel! I have travelled the world extensively from a young age and my love of travel has taken me to many far-flung destinations including backpacking in Australia to cruising around the Norwegian Fjords. I have been lucky in my youth to have also lived and worked in several destinations of which I have a few highlights:- Spending 2 years in Southern Egypt including exploring the Nile Delta and Cairo. One of my particular highlights was exploring the Tomb Of The Kings...I am a bit of a history buff so this felt so special and is truly to be seen to be believed.- Working alongside Santa himself in Finnish Lapland and spending my days on husky and reindeer rides, snow mobiles and seeking the Northern Lights. - Working on theatrical tours that took us to stunning destinations such as the Swiss Alps and Hong Kong. - Exploring Tasmania from top to toe…From wine regions to hiking up mountain ranges to white water rafting it was quite the adventure! Each destination along the way has given me a deeper understanding of the local culture, people and the many ways in which to explore. In the past few years, I have specialised in cruise holidays, and I have been fortunate enough to travel on and explore various cruise lines and routes that I can happily help guide you to the perfect fit. I am currently planning my own honeymoon which includes an Asian cruise, and I will be reporting back once I have been on this one next year…Something to look forward to!Travel has always been more than just a hobby for me; it’s a way of life. I’ve built a career out of inspiring others to discover the joy and transformation that comes from exploring the world. Whether it’s your first time abroad or your fiftieth, whether it’s a Caribbean cruise or a weekend in Whitby, I love helping travellers create unforgettable getaways. When you plan your holiday with me, you’ll get far more than just a travel agent. I’ll take the time to truly get to know you, your interests, your priorities, your needs and I will tailor make your hand-picked recommendations. I’ll ensure that your holiday is entirely personalised and catered to you. Having lived and travelled extensively around the world I understand that travel is not one-size-fits all. Some of us crave tranquillity and relaxation, others want adventure and to immerse ourselves in a destination. Together, we will design a trip that reflects you and your personality that hopefully you will love. So let’s start planning your next adventure together, that’s designed around you. I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi, I'm Scarlett and I'm a Travel Counsellor based in Newcastle upon Tyne. Thank you so much for stopping by!Travel has been part of my life for as long as I can remember, from family holidays as a child to planning my own adventures the moment I was old enough to book them myself. That early passion led me to study Travel and Tourism as a school leaver, but life took me on a slightly different path… until 2021, when I finally joined the travel industry professionally and haven’t looked back since.Before becoming a Travel Counsellor, I spent much of my career in the legal industry and higher education administration – both roles where organising corporate and academic travel was part of my day-to-day. It was in those moments, booking everything from business trips to conferences, that I realised just how much I loved crafting travel experiences for others.Now, I help clients create travel experiences that feel truly personal – with a focus on sustainability, cruelty-free choices, and inclusive options for all. I’m passionate about making sure every trip aligns with your values, whether that means avoiding animal exploitation, seeking out LGBTQIA+ friendly stays, or finding destinations that prioritise ethical tourism.My mission is simple: to create meaningful travel experiences that are personal, inclusive, and aligned with your values. I believe travel should be a source of joy, connection, and discovery – never compromise. Whether you're planning a once-in-a-lifetime honeymoon, a family escape, or a soul-soothing solo break, I’m here to take the stress out of planning and replace it with confidence, care, and a touch of magic. Travel is more than a destination – it’s a feeling. Let’s make yours unforgettable.Since stepping into the world of travel full-time, I've had the pleasure of helping a couple arrange their bespoke dream honeymoon to Costa Rica, organising a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Minneapolis for a Prince superfan, and booking plenty of well-deserved weekend getaways to favourites like Benidorm and Tenerife. Personally, I’ve fallen in love with Mexico – my favourite Caribbean destination.I live in Newcastle with my partner Dean and our daughter Lilith, and I understand the importance of travel being both memorable and manageable – especially when life is full on. I bring warmth, empathy and attention to detail to every booking, treating your holiday as if it were my own.With Travel Counsellors’ unique Financial Trust protection, every penny you spend is 100% financially secure. I’ll be by your side from that first chat to safe return and beyond, making sure your journey is smooth, special and full of joy.Let’s make your next adventure unforgettable – I’d love to help you plan it!

After being out of the travel industry for a while, it is a pleasure to be back in the industry I started in and fell in love with, especially as an Independent Travel Counsellor.I studied travel & tourism at the Bournemouth & Poole college, where a achieved a Diploma. After leaving college I worked for an independent travel agent in my home town of Swansea, gaining 10 years’ experience. Over my time working as a travel agent I was fortunate to see some fantastic places like the Canneries, Balearics, Greece, France, Finland, Germany to name a few but my favourites being the Maldives, Sri Lanka and Seychelles.Although I have been out of the travel industry, the passion has never left me. My wife and I love going on city breaks, our favourites are New York and Reykjavik and for our summer holidays we love going to our family home on the Costa Blanca in Spain. We either fly out or we take the ferry and drive stopping off in places on the way down through France and Spain taking different routes each time.Being a Travel Counsellor gives me the flexibility to book your perfect holiday and give you the personal experience you won’t find with an online provider with full financial backing. Whatever your requirements weather it’ll be a London hotel or a Round the World trip I can organise it all, even visa’s and transfers.Other than travel I love my rugby, I have organised group bookings to the 6 nations games. I also booked my own tailor made trip to New Zealand for the 2011 rugby world cup and for the British & Irish Lions tour in 2017, I took my youngest son with me in 2017, he loved it.So stick a pin in a map, give me a call and see where I can take you. “I want to go to places I’ve never been before”

Thank you for visiting my page. Let me introduce myself. I have worked in travel for over 36 years. I used to manage a local high street agency and I have also taught travel part-time at the Isle of Wight College.I have been fortunate to visit many countries including New Zealand, Australia, Peru, South Africa, Sri Lanka, the Maldives, Argentina, Brazil, Thailand, North America and Canada plus a host of destinations closer to home.It is hard to pick my favourite destination because there are so many. All countries offer their own history, diversity and culture which is what makes travel so enriching. Each trip becomes a personal discovery. Some of my most memorable experiences include visiting Machu Picchu in Peru where I climbed Huayna Picchu (Young Mountain); another includes taking a jet-boat ride on the Shotover River and a balloon flight over the Canterbury Plains during a visit to South Island in New Zealand. Similarly, witnessing the dramatic Iguazu Falls on the Brazilian/Argentine border by helicopter rates equally as memorable.During my career, I have seen many changes within the travel industry and as an agent, it is important to adapt to these changes. In 2015 I joined Travel Counsellors to offer a more bespoke, flexible service and to be part of a network of travel professionals, where customer service is a core value.Not only am I passionate about my job I am dedicated to it. I enjoy doing the research to give my clients competitive options with reliable suppliers coupled with a more personal service. A holiday, after all, is often a considered purchase and it is important to know it is in safe hands.So whether you are planning a long-haul itinerary or a short UK break or considering an ocean cruise or a boating holiday or taking to the slopes for a winter ski trip or a relaxing get-away-from-it-all beach holiday, I am on hand to help find that holiday that best suits your needs. I have experience in arranging anything from school groups, family holidays or an emergency last-minute flight. At Travel Counsellors I have access to award-winning technology and resources and moreover, I am on hand at hours to suit you. Even if you just need impartial, unbiased advice, please contact me. I look forward to hearing from you.

Hello, I’m Norman and I’m happily married to Janet and we have a wonderful Golden Retriever Freya.So you may ask, why choose me to arrange your travel plans?To answer that I’d first like to tell you a little bit about why I started working in the travel industry, way back in 1975.As a young boy, I dreamed of becoming an airline pilot, having been fortunate to travel extensively with my family to some of the far flung corners of the globe, well before tour operators or even travel packages were conceived. As a 12 year old I would often be found sitting in the cockpit with the pilot, asking hundreds of questions and getting my Junior Jet Club Frequent Flyer log book signed.Sadly due to colour blindness, my dream job could never be realised, but that didn’t fade my love of travel and so in my early twenties I took ownership of a local travel agency; in Wigan, learning the trade from the bottom up.Since that date in 1975 I have been responsible for arranging thousands of holidays and business trips for individuals, couples and families, major corporations, a leading TV company and broadcaster, celebrities and professional sports clubs, including their players, backroom staff and an army of devoted fans. I have been known to charter private jets, trains and dare I mention organizing the travel plans of a major political party during a general election.My clients come from all walks of life; have different expectations and budgets, which I try my utmost to fulfil. From room or seating requests, to the dietary requests of a famous TV chef, I’ve learned that nothing is impossible.

Hi, I am Richard Swinburne, your personal Travel Counsellor. I am a travel expert with over 30 years of experience in the industry.My love for travel started when I embarked on my first adventure to become a Ski Guide in the French Alps. It helped shape my personality and gave me the opportunity to learn customer service skills, which I still use to this very day. I am as enthusiastic today as I was when I started my career in travel, but now with the advantage of a wealth of expertise in the industry and personal knowledge of the 97 countries visited to date.My travels and holidays have been very diverse, including expedition cruising to the Arctic circle, the Galapagos and Antarctica, and stargazing in Hawaii, to name but a few. I am fortunate to have visited all seven continents, having specialist understanding of the Americas, Asia, Australia/New Zealand and Europe. Some of my favourite destinations are the Galapagos, Hawaii, Cuba, Russia, New Zealand, the Maldives, Chile, Brazil and Argentina. I love exploring different cultures, both ancient and modern.Whatever you are planning, whether visiting family and friends, a city break, a beach holiday, a tailor-made trip, a ski holiday, your honeymoon or a weekend break to Europe, I can help you with every aspect.

I’m Jenny from Boston Spa, West Yorkshire, and I can’t wait to help you plan your next adventure.I design authentic, tailor-made trips that reflect who you are and how you love to travel. Whether you’re after a weekend city break, an action-packed adventure, a luxury escape, or a bespoke multi-stop itinerary around the world, I focus on attention to detail and a truly personalised service; creating unique, memorable experiences just for you.Travel has always been a huge part of who I am. My passion for seeing the world started early. I still remember the excitement of my school trip to Russia! That sense of curiosity and adventure never left me and by my twenties I decided to take the plunge and backpack solo around the world for 16 incredible months. From bustling cities and remote mountain villages to quiet beaches where time seemed to stand still. Every moment taught me something new about cultures, people and myself. Those experiences changed the way I see travel. That it's not just about ticking off destinations but the stories you collect along the way, the people you meet, the food you try and the memories that say with you long after you've unpacked your bags. Now, as a mum of three, I've loved sharing that same spirit of adventure with my family with extended trips to Australia, New Zealand and South East Asia; creating memories that will last a lifetime. Seeing the world through their eyes has been magical and it's reminded me how travel can bring families closer together with the shared experience. Over the years, one thing I've discovered about myself is how much I enjoy the planning side of the trip. I love diving into the details, researching the best routes, finding those hidden gems and putting itineraries together that flow seamlessly. For me, half the joy is in making sure everything is thoughtfully organised so that when you travel, you can relax knowing that nothing has been left to chance. As your Travel Counsellor, my goal is to make your journey as effortless and inspiring as possible. I’ll take care of the details, so all you need to do is focus on making memories that will stay with you for years to come.

I've always been the "go-to travel person" in my circle - the one people message at 10pm asking "What's the weather like here?" or "Can you check my itinerary?" After working in travel before and planning more holidays than I can count, turning that passion into something I get to do every day just made sense. Travel has always been a huge part of my life. I genuinely believe it's one of the best things you can do for your mental health - whether that's switching off on a beach. exploring somewhere new, or finding a place that makes you feel a bit more like yourself again. That feeling is exactly why I love what I do. Seeing someone return home relaxed, refreshed and full of memories, knowing I played a small part in it, is something I'll never get tired of. I'm a solo traveller at heart and have explored Europe, Thailand and Canada. My next bucket list trip is Antarctica next year, which I'm super excited about. Greece, though, is the place that has my whole heart - and where I hope to live one day with my Golden Retriever, Digby. Speaking of Digby...he's officially my Head of Marketing and Chief Happiness Officer. He specialises in morale boosting, attention-seeking, and reminding me when it's time for a holiday. He also keeps me well-trained in finding the best dog-friendly spots - we're planning a trip to France after Christmas so if you're wanting to travel with your pet, you're in very capable hands. My approach is simple: no pressure, just honest advice and thoughtful, tailored travel planning. I take the time to understand what matters to you and make sure every detail feels 100% perfect. Wherever you're dreaming of next, I'm here to help you get there - stress-free, excited, and ready to make those unforgettable memories.
