Hello and welcome !I’m Barbara your Personal Travel Counsellor based in Stockport and want to thank you for visiting Travel Counsellors and taking a look at my web page. I would love to hear from you about your travel plans and help to build you a fabulous tailor-made trip that matches your requirements and your budget. Travel has been a passion of mine since my first package holiday abroad to Mallorca at 17. From then I knew I’d caught the bug! I was lucky enough to spend over 10 years living and working overseas for tour operators in The Balearics, Mainland Spain, Canaries, Portugal, Cyprus and Mexico. On returning to the UK I continued contracting hotels throughout mainland Europe and Scandinavia and then spent many years with travel suppliers working alongside tour operators and travel agents.I have been fortunate to have visited over 30 countries including Vietnam & Cambodia, Brazil, Mexico, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Botswana & Zimbabwe, Kenya, Lapland, all the Spanish islands, several islands of the Caribbean and nearly all of the Greek islands! I’ve experienced many types of travel aside from beach holidays including ski, cruises, city breaks and safaris travelling as a couple, then as a family, on business and also with groups of friends so understand the needs of all types of travellers. My personal favourites have to be Santorini for the dramatic scenery and stunning blue domes, Mykonos with its windmills and sugar cube houses (plus Shirley Valentine moments!), Mexico for its excitement, culture and beaches, Africa for its amazing wildlife and friendly people and Gran Canaria for its year-round sunshine. However you can’t beat a cruise to experience a variety of exciting destinations all in one trip!As your Travel Counsellor I have access not only to brochured holidays but a huge range of additional specialist suppliers, far greater than can be found on the High St, that will help to build your perfect experience. Life is too busy these days to spend hours trawling through various websites – Let me use our state of the art technology and my personal knowledge and experience to take care of everything for you. You can also rest assured that every penny of your spend is protected by Travel Counsellors’ unique financial protection trust.I pride myself on my personal service. I am happy to arrange a face to face meet up alongside calls and chats. I handle every aspect of your booking pre-travel and take care of seats, online check-ins and hand deliver over 95% of my clients' travel documents.So whether you’re looking for a beach break, a cruise, special celebration, a global adventure or a business trip, I look forward to hearing from you and talking through your requirements.

My name is Elaine Simpson: I live in Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire with my husband, Rod Bailey, who is a retired fine art lecturer. My passion is Australia - I’ve been a Tourism Australia Premier Aussie Specialist for many years, visiting all the States and Territories in over 20 trips; plus I’m a New Zealand Kiwi specialist and an expert in Round the World journeys. Closer to home I love to sail on Star Clippers traditional sailing ships, having crossed the Med with them several times; and in the winter I avoid the British weather by retreating to Tenerife for several weeks. My 40+ years travel experience started in university travel offices which gave me an unrivalled knowledge of airline and rail routes and off-the-beaten-track destinations, as many of the students and lecturers came from, or travelled to, some far-out places! In 1989 I started my own travel agency for independent travellers and was presented to HRH Prince Charles having won a competition for start-up businesses in the Calderdale area. Late in June 2008 I closed that business down and joined Travel Counsellors, providing support and security for myself and my clients. I’ve travelled widely and have specialist accreditations also for Singapore, Hong Kong, Dubai etc, so I can offer a comparable service to all regions with the extensive and highly professional support of Travel Counsellors. Despite travelling extensively, my own wish-list never gets any shorter: as well as visiting Australia and New Zealand I have spent most winters in Tenerife and have also visited India, Morocco, Greece, Turkey, Italy, Holland, Denmark, Barbados, Mexico, Thailand, the USA: and I’ll go anywhere else given half a chance! When I’m not booking travel, or travelling, I love to draw and paint and many of my pictures are inspired by the people and places I have met and seen along the way. When travelling I like to get off the beaten track and try out new experiences with a combination of action and relaxation and that is the kind of trip I excel in arranging. Therefore, whatever your idea of a good time, talk to me about it and together we’ll find the perfect trip for you! There’s a place in everyone’s life for a little self-indulgence and hedonism - we all need times to chill out - whether you find it in 5-star luxury or in a simple beach hut, I’ll go that extra mile to find the perfect place for you to relax and recharge your batteries. Whatever your travel needs I’d be delighted to help and can either meet you or arrange it via email or phone- so distance is no object in more ways than one! I look forward to hearing from you.

Our free time with our loved ones is precious, and we need to get it right.During exam revision at university, I spent every lunch break in the local travel shop, browsing the magazines and dreaming of where I would go when I had finished. I completed my degree, travelled for a year, and qualified as an accountant, working in London. But what started as a way to escape my studies grew into a passion for researching and planning travel. As a result, I took extensive training in the Travel Counsellor Academy, and started my own independent travel business in May 2016.I take time to get to know my clients, their travel dreams and their absolute must-haves. I listen to the details of what works for them and what needs to be avoided. I genuinely care that they have the best holidays possible, and that the planning process is as smooth and as fun as it can be.I can help you with travel plans for all worldwide destinations, and all holiday styles. I have travelled extensively, and with great variety, staying in $4 guesthouses in Phnom Penh, and 5* resorts in St Lucia. In 2016 I returned from four years living in Barbados, so I would consider myself an expert on this location, and the surrounding islands. I love to attend and participate in sporting and musical events as I travel. I’ve golfed in Patagonia, dived with sharks in Saba, partied at Coachella festival, and cheered on the Heat in Miami. Not that you need an excuse, but if you want to travel for a specific interest, I look forward to hearing all about it, and building your holidays accordingly.My hours are flexible and I can discuss your travel requirements at a time that suits you, including weekends and evenings. Location permitting (I am based in Sevenoaks), I am happy to meet you face-to-face, or to communicate by skype, email or phone. It’s your choice; my aim is to make your travel planning as stress-free as possible.Whatever your travel requirements, please get in touch. You’ll be talking to someone who listens, who cares, and who can make it happen.“Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” - Ferris Bueller’s Day Off

I have always prided myself on delivering excellent customer service when working with my clients and I can honestly say I still get excited when arranging holidays for each and every one of them.There is no obligation when working with me and I am happy to help on any travel requests that you may have.

Hi my name is Dan and I am a Travel Counsellor in London.I have successfully worked in the travel and leisure industry for 20 years and it is something that really ticks a lot of boxes for me.Discovering new places, meeting different people and cultures are important for one’s personal growth. Ever since I started working in the industry my eyes have been opened to a huge world out there to explore and helping people discover and book trips to those far off lands gives me a great sense of satisfaction in that I might have helped someone discover something new in this world.As well as leisure travel, I also offer corporate travel. I have honed my skills in designing and managing travel itineraries that optimize efficiency, comfort, and cost-effectiveness. From arranging complex multi-city trips to ensuring last-minute changes are handled smoothly, I thrive in fast-paced environments where attention to detail and adaptability are crucial.I started working in the travel industry in the cruise sector which brings to the table another exciting world of opportunities to see several parts of the world in one holiday. It is a unique type of travel that allows a customer to experience several destinations and cultures in one holiday. This was closely followed by the tailor making of unique holidays, custom made for the travellers so if there is something that you would like to experience more of then that can be arranged.Although it sounds cliché I would never book a holiday for someone that I would be averse to taking myself. One should always put themselves in the customers shoes and imagine, as best as you can, what they want to do and how they want to do it. One’s work is a reflection of a person’s personality and the enjoyment and success I have achieved in travel holds me in good stead so don’t hesitate to call for a chat to see what adventure I can help you go on next.

Welcome to Travel Counsellors! It's a real pleasure to introduce myself and I'm really looking forward to hearing about your travel aspirations!I had one dream as a young man: Travel the world to learn and experience as much about this beautiful planet as I possibly could. I began that quest by achieving a Diploma in Travel Studies and in the years that passed, the desire to fulfil my mission never diminished. I 'backpacked' whenever and wherever the mood took me and built my industry knowledge working extensively within the world of travel agencies, airlines and tour operations over many years. Experiencing life living in places such as Australia, Greece, Cyprus and 9 years in Spain only served to enhance this knowledge.Fast forward to present day and, as an independent Travel Counsellor, I now have the opportunity to give something back to my customers. Relying on decades of experience to help them choose, plan and execute their travel dreams is the greatest of pleasures. I care about what and where they book with me and I just love listening to their stories when they return home. Your holiday is my holiday too. My service is bespoke. It is tailored to those looking for a service that gives them an experience from the very first conversation and removes the 'transactional' nature of booking a trip. I have access to fares and pricing that are not always available to traditional agents and you're not restricted by 'pre-packaged' deals, which don't always fully cater for what you really want. Knowing that someone cares about your plans and is there for you throughout the whole process, brings you a service that is second to none.Finally, a Travel Counsellor booking is 100% financially protected. No ifs, no buts! Just peace of mind from the very beginning.Take a look at some of the great itineraries below for inspiration and/or send me a message about where your travel dreams are leading you next. I'd love the opportunity to talk with you about how I can help you turn them into a reality alongside industry leading service.

Hello and thank you for visiting my web page. If you’re looking for a holiday personally tailored to your requirements, with support from the time you book until the moment you arrive safely back home, you’re in exactly the right place. Do you love to travel, but haven’t got either the time or inclination to research? Or would you like a once in a lifetime holiday and don’t know where to start? How do you know the company you’ve found online is legitimate? What if things go wrong before you travel or while you’re away? I love to research holidays and have a real interest in Africa and the Far East both of which I’ve been lucky enough to visit on more than one occasion. These holidays can often involve a number of flights, hotels, excursions and transfers. I have a network of trusted suppliers based all over the world who can help me to create bespoke (100% financially protected) holidays. Recent events have reinforced the need to use an experienced travel provider. A real person who is available for you to speak to, right up until the moment you return from your holiday. My decision to become a Travel Counsellor was born from a love of travel and a desire to help others realise their travel dreams. I’m passionate about good customer service – something which is sadly lacking in today’s environment. I provide my customers with a personal service; they only ever deal with me and I’m delighted I have some wonderful customers I now call friends. My love of travel goes back a long way; sparked by my first holiday abroad, a two-week Mediterranean cruise with school. As soon as I could I went to work for an airline – only leaving to bring up my two, now grown up, children. They both had their first holiday abroad when they were 3 months old and still love to travel. When the children were younger, we had lots of family trips to Europe (particularly Germany) and USA. More recently my husband and I have had some real ‘bucket list’ holidays – visiting Singapore, Vietnam, India, Australia in addition to various African and Far East countries. Our most recent family trip was visiting Lapland between Christmas 2025 and the new year. We’re busy planning more trips, but the list just gets longer! When you’re considering your next holiday why not get in touch for a chat – I promise you won’t regret it.

If you fell in love with the beauty of Brazil and the stunning scenery of South America while watching the BBC’s Race Across The World…then I could be the perfect Travel Counsellor for you! I grew up to the rhythm of the Samba beat, have been on the best beaches in Rio like The Girl From Ipanema, and have actually sipped cocktails on the roof terrace of The Hotel Unique in São Paulo where the TV celebrity contestants reached one of their destinations. I may come from Brazil, but South America is my passion. Only last year I planned my own solo two-week trip to the wonders of Machu Picchu in Peru. Now, I would love to organise an amazing adventure for you…and unlike the TV stars, I promise not to send you on 21-hour overnight coach trips! Travel and exploration have been in my blood since I left my home and came to the bright lights of London nearly 30 years ago. These days I am happy living in the rolling Chiltern Hills, high above High Wycombe in Bucks, with my three children. But if I am a country girl at heart, I also have a penchant for City breaks across Europe, or once in a lifetime family trips off the beaten track, like sleeping on a river boat in Vietnam. My idea of travel is to indulge in all the senses. Local food and cookery courses; fashion shows, shopping and spas, and of course the history and culture of the people we meet along the way. Studying maps, scanning brochures, and scrolling through endless hotel apps only gets you so far. Having a Travel Counsellor expert on hand, with hot tips on where’s good to go and – just as importantly – where to avoid, can make all the difference. My business background is long and varied, from retail to restaurants, to teaching and healthcare. I have been my own boss and worked in a team, but when I look back the common thread has been dealing with people and delivering the best service, tailor-made to each individual requirement.

Hello. Thank you for taking time to visit my website!Working from my office at home, without the distractions of the high street and noisy call centres, I am able to offer exceptional customer service to ensure each and every trip meets and exceeds your expectations. With Travel Counsellors I can offer a one-to-one travel service, using my experience of 24 years, combined with a unique system which no other travel agency or tour operator has access too.

It's safe to say that travel is my greatest passion. Having missed out on foreign travel as a child and taking my first trip to India at the age of 15, I think I've been making up for lost time ever since! Since starting my journey in high street travel at the age of 17 and working with luxury tailor made trips, private islands and villas, I have gained a wealth of knowledge over the years to help me curate your perfect travel experiences. Working as a Travel Counsellor enables me to provide a highly personalised and bespoke service, allowing me to give as much care and attention into planning your holiday as I would my own. I aim to make your trip special by taking charge of the finer details and making your booking process hassle-free. Being truly independent, with a diverse choice of suppliers to hand, helps to turn your travel dreams into reality and find that unique trip that is just right for you. I can be available at a time to suit you, so for those little travel queries I am only a call away. Working with luxury villas has taken me across Europe, however, I do love to travel long haul and have been lucky enough to experience places like Bali, Thailand, Hong Kong, USA and South Africa, to name some highlights. A memorable adventure was a trip of a lifetime to Australia - a boat on Sydney harbour for New Year's Eve, surfing Bondi beach and exploring Fraser Island - now that will be a tough trip to beat! From the UK to Australia and everywhere between, no trip is too big or too small and I look forward to hearing from you. Life is about the journey... Where will your travels take you next?

Welcome to my webpage.I love to travel! It seemed only natural that this passion should lead me into helping others achieve their own travel goals. With a background of nearly two decades working within the travel industry, combined with travelling to many worldwide destinations for both work and pleasure, I understand what it takes to provide a rewarding and fulfilling travel experience. My own journeys have taken me to the United States, the Caribbean, the Far East and India to name a few. I have travelled on the Rocky Mountaineer through Canada and the Eastern and Oriental Express from Bangkok to Singapore. I have also experienced various types of cruise, from a family–friendly ship in Mexico to the luxury of the Queen Mary 2 a bit closer to home, as well as a river cruise in Europe. Whether it’s a weekend city break, a stay in a luxury hotel or an adventure through faraway lands, everyone’s requirements are different and I can help you to get the very best from your holiday. As an independent Travel Counsellor I am not tied to specific companies or tour operators. I can utilise my contacts throughout the travel industry to obtain first-hand knowledge on a huge variety of destinations and can book flights, accommodation, car hire, attraction tickets, airport parking etc, to help you build your perfect holiday. I can tailor arrangements to meet your individual needs and will always ensure that we work together to create your perfect holiday. I can be contacted at a time to suit you.

Hi, my name is Julie. I am based in Bingley, West Yorkshire. With over 40 years experience in the travel industry, I am part of a network of over 1800 travel consultants. I joined Travel Counsellors as I wanted to concentrate on giving my customers the highest possible levels of personal service and independent travel advice. We give you the opportunity of selecting your holiday from the comfort of your own home, coupled with a degree of expertise you will not find elsewhere. Travel Counsellors is one of the largest independent travel agencies in the UK. As your own professional Travel Counsellor I can use our award winning technology and my personal expertise to tailor make exactly the right holiday to suit your needs. Rather than selling you a standard tour operator package, I can quickly search through hundreds of different flight, accommodation and transfer alternatives to find something that suits your needs exactly. Quite often this means I can build you a bespoke holiday at a cheaper price than the standard holiday package you might get elsewhere. So whether you just need a flight to Barcelona or a last minute holiday to Florida I can help and of course I can help with any other travel arrangements you may have, including holiday car hire and holiday insurance. My aim is to build long term partnerships with all my clients based on trust, understanding and the honesty of independent advice and I will offer you the best value available from a wider range of operators than any high street agency can offer. I can provide you with any details you require quickly by email or telephone, I work flexible hours so can be contacted when you need me. My business is based purely on providing my customers with the highest possible levels of personal service and I would be delighted to assist you with your holiday plans.I hope to hear from you soon.

I have always loved travelling; the opportunity to visit exciting countries and experience diverse cultures is surely one of life’s greatest luxuries. I have taken that passion for travel into my work as I love arranging holidays and booking trips for my clients. I offer a bespoke, personal service backed-up by years of experience in the travel industry. I have the instincts to recognise what clients want as well as the knowledge of how to find the best bookings for them. The Travel Counsellors network provides all the support necessary to make sure that through me you will receive the best possible care and the best possible deals.In my time I have been lucky enough to travel across almost every continent on the planet – Antarctica remains a goal for the future! My favourite part of the world remains the Far East; not least because it brings back happy memories from my honeymoon in Burma but also due to wonderful trips to Cambodia, Borneo and Thailand amongst others. The levels of service, care and attention to detail that you receive as a guest in the Far East always amazes me and always has me longing to go back.In addition to the Far East I have travelled through India, Australia and New Zealand, the Amazonian rain forest and the Masai Mara. The two most striking places that I have visited must be the awe-inspiring Angkor Wat in Cambodia and Utah’s Monument Valley – not least due to its complete contrast to nearby Las Vegas.It’s not just exotic holidays that I can help you with. I also have extensive knowledge of European destinations as well as within the British Isles and I am here to help you with every type of booking.Like you I expect the highest standards when I travel. As my client you can rest easy knowing that all your travel needs will be looked after to the highest possible degree throughout your booking and holiday experience.

If you have trouble finding the perfect holiday or simply don’t have the time or energy I can help. My passion for travel began after buying my first Inter-railing ticket around Europe. During those four weeks I learnt so much about different cultures, cities and food. I was hooked! From that moment on I decided to work in travel and help others fulfill their travelling dreams.After graduation I worked for one of the leading travel agents in Kensington, London where I specialised in long haul, tailor-made holidays. My fondest memories were creating bespoke holidays for different people, with different budgets and different dreams; be it long haul, short haul, budget, luxury, backpack or family break.I have been fortunate enough to experience many different types of holidays, having backpacked around the world after University, had luxury trips whilst working in the travel industry, and more recently (now I understand what it’s like travelling with children) family holidays closer to home in Europe. Some of my highlights include white water rafting down the Zambezi river in Africa, paragliding and bungee jumping in New Zealand, walking the Inca Trail in Peru, a desert safari in Dubai and relaxing on the fantastic beaches in Portugal.I am delighted to have joined Travel Counsellors. In our increasingly busy lives I feel holidays are so important but we rarely have enough time to find the perfect one. I can help you. I am committed to using my experience and contacts to go the extra mile and bring together an experience that you won’t forget.I look forward to speaking to you soon.Thanks

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!
