    Hello and thank you for visiting my web page. Originally from London, I now live in Hertfordshire with my husband, teenage son, and energetic Labrador, Basil!I have been fortunate to have visited many amazing and varied destinations so I like to use my experience and contacts to help guide my clients. Whether you are seeking adventure, discovery, rejuvenation or simply somewhere special to relax with your family, I would love to help you create your own wonderful memories.Over my long and varied travel career I have seen many changes in the way that holidays are presented and bought. The internet may have enabled people to create their own trips, but the process is fraught at the best of times, and ultimately you travel without support. We have all had the irritation of unmanned email addresses and no contact numbers when seeking assistance from a human being. What might appear a modern convenience can all too easily become a frustrating experience and a false economy.We offer a personal service and take the time to find out what makes the perfect holiday for you and your family. I appreciate that all stages of the booking cycles are equally important, this means I’ll be with you every step of the way to ensure everything runs smoothly. Our 100% financial cover will give you complete peace of mind together with our round the clock 24/7 support team. Our incredible travel app will also keep you fully updated at all times both before and during your trip and together with my own support ensures you have a true travel concierge service from start to finish leaving you free to enjoy your holiday.I have access to an incredible range of quality suppliers worldwide, covering holidays as varied as safaris to ocean cruises, yoga retreats to adventurous hikes in the Himalayas, to say nothing of exclusive beach locations, our preferential rates allow me to tailor-make your perfect holiday providing superb value for money.It is clear that our planet is changing so now might be the time to make that bucket list trip happen. Each opportunity to travel is precious and I want to ensure you get the most out of every holiday.You will find me informed but informal and available at the times that suit you. Don’t forget: 'Travel is the only thing you can buy that makes you richer'

    Liz Engel

    0208 6636717 Beckenham

    Hello, I'm Liz, your local independent travel expert based in leafy Beckenham, on the borders of South London and Kent. My passion for travel started a very long time ago when my first ever job was selling Spanish package holidays. I’ve never lost that desire, that passion, for seeing and experiencing the world at large. Now, a few decades later, I am living that dream and helping my customers to explore and discover the world.My personal passion is African safari, I think it’s the sounds and smells of the bush that really get under my skin and I’m so happy planning a safari trip for a client. I love to talk about it to anyone who will care to listen. But not everyone is keen to explore the bush. Whatever your preference, I am here to help and advise and share my personal travel experiences with you. I work from a home office so I’m available to discuss your trip when it's most convenient for you and not restricted by office hours. I do home visits to suit your hours and can also be found meeting clients in the numerous local coffee bars (when we’re allowed), talking holidays over a latte.That initial chat is the most important step towards the perfect holiday. I need to spend time getting to know you so that I can craft the perfect itinerary or destination holiday for you and your family or group. My clients' travel adventures are too varied to mention them all but include dozens of African safaris, motor home tours of the Rockies in Canada, luxury tours from north to south of India, or barefoot paradise honeymoons in the islands of the Indian Ocean or Pacific islands. Skiing holidays, the Northern Lights, Antarctic cruises, the Galapagos Islands, or the Ashes in Australia, the possibilities are endless. I will cater for your every need and will do my best to help with special requests that just aren't available on-line; adjoining rooms? cruise cabin near a lift? saltwater pool? short walk to bars and restaurants? gluten free menus? …. we'll do our best.I do pride myself on attention to detail; from that first meeting through to your return home and all points in between, creating memories that last a lifetime. Call me and let’s talk holidays.

I am currently based in Silsoe, in Central Bedfordshire, having moved back from Antigua in the Eastern Caribbean where I had been living for the past 20 years with my family. During my career, I have worked in Europe, the United States, and Africa, before moving to the Caribbean gaining extensive experience in the hospitality field, a journey that has taken me to 57 countries so far with hopefully more to be added to the list. It is now time to share this knowledge and passion with others. I could consider myself a Caribbean specialist having spent time in most of the islands of the Eastern Caribbean. I believe that the Caribbean is a place that offers something for everyone and I can provide advice to anyone looking to explore this region from helping to plan a dream vacation, to creating custom itineraries tailored to your specific needs and budget. However, I would not like to think of myself as only selling the Caribbean and can help you put together a bespoke vacation in many other destinations. I have travelled extensively in the US and Canada in recent years from LA to Boston and Las Vegas to Florida as well as across the border into Canada. There are a lot of great places to visit on this side of the Atlantic which I know also very well having lived and worked in France and Belgium. In France I had the privilege of working at the ultra-luxury Hotel Le Bristol in Paris for eight years and was part of the opening team of Euro Disney as it was know back then, in 1992. I am now looking forward to helping others with their travel plans. Having worked in the luxury hotel sector I am passionate about providing excellent personalized customer service and ensuring that you have an enjoyable and stress-free experience planning and booking your vacation. Whatever your budget I will create your perfect holiday. So whether it be a family beach holiday, a weekend break, a tailor-made trip, a cruise, a wedding overseas or honeymoon, or just a business trip, you can reach out with confidence knowing that with Travel Counsellors’ award-winning technology, I have access to hundreds of suppliers and airlines ensuring you a holiday that is tailored just for you. For your peace of mind, everything you book through me is 100% financially protected by the Travel Counsellors Financial Trust and ATOL. No ifs, no buts, you won’t find this anywhere on the internet. It is the best financial protection in the industry. Feel free to call or email me with your requirements and I will respond immediately, I really look forward to hearing from you!

    **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.

    With almost 30 years’ experience in the travel industry, I look forward to helping you with your travel arrangements whether that be a short break in the UK, a weekend in a stylish European city, a cruise or even a round the world holiday of a lifetime.I live in Manchester with my husband and two children, my daughter Madison who has now graduated from University and is living the start of her adult life. Jaxon is my musical child playing 3 instruments (drums, guitar and piano) plus he competes in Trampoline.I have worked for various travel agencies. My first one was Going Places many moons ago, and I was bitten by the travel bug. I have worked for a large tour operator and also worked for a corporate business travel house. I left travel briefly to work in the family business, however I found I missed it terribly as travel really is my passion and when I decided that I wanted to go back, there really was only one company I would consider going to and that was Travel Counsellors. They are the best of the best. I have been lucky to have travelled a lot in my lifetime including Europe, Caribbean, USA including Las Vegas, which is one of my favourite places, Dubai, The Maldives, The Far East including Singapore and Thailand. I took my mother to Thailand for her 50th Birthday, she says it was a trip of a lifetime for her. I have been to Australia and the French Polynesian islands including Bora Bora where I worked as a holiday program presenter for a well-known Travel Tour Operator. I have done several cruises and I also achieved captain status award for Royal Caribbean/Celebrity Cruises and Azamara by completing all their product training. One of my ultimate favourite trips was Christmas Eve 2015 I took my children and my mum to Lapland to search for the real Father Christmas, it was magical.A lot of people ask me what my favourite holiday is to organise, and I have to say that an multi-centre holidays get me excited, trying to fit all the pieces together is like a fabulous puzzle. Travel Counsellors have a high standard of customer care and this is one of the most important things for me, I always will go the extra mile for you as my customers, so if there is anything I can do to make your trip even more special please do ask and if it’s in my power, then you can consider it done.A lot of people think using a personal travel advisor is going to cost them a lot more but I can tell you it doesn’t and the best part of all is you have the peace of mind of having someone at the end of the phone if something doesn’t quite go to plan and that is really priceless.I really do look forward to hearing from you and helping you your next trip whatever that may be or wherever that may take you.

    Hi, I’m Zoe, your Independent Travel Agent and Cruise Ambassador for Travel Counsellors. With over 40 years’ experience in both leisure and business travel, I bring first-hand knowledge and a truly personal service. Whether it’s a family holiday, a cruise, a business trip, or a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, I’ll tailor everything to you—without the stress of endless online searching.As a Cruise Ambassador, I’ve sailed with many different lines and on many different ships, so I can match you to the right cruise experience. I’ve also explored destinations including Santorini (a personal favourite), California on fly-drives, and Sydney, where my family live—meaning my recommendations come from real experience.My clients return year after year, and I’m available when they need me, not just 9 to 5. In the ever changing world of the internet, and the speed that companies are born, bred and disappear, people are at last waking up to the fact that booking your travel arrangements through faceless internet sites is not all it’s cracked up to be. The thing that really worries the real travel experts is the lack of assistance and financial protection that these sites offer. Travel Counsellors has the best financial protection in the industry! I have 86% repeat business which is the best recommendation I could ever have.I have recently returned from Santorini, where I have holidayed for the past 14 years, and we will of course return next year! I took my first cruise in 2006 and have been bitten by the bug and I would thoroughly recommend cruising too! I love to visit new countries and for me this year has been Poland, Vietnam, Bali and Qatar. Feel free to get in touch to see how I can take the stress away from planning your next trip!Best wishes, Zoe

    01483 284 304 Surrey

    Welcome! Bienvenue! Willkommen!Living mainly in Surrey, I also spend time in Beaujolais (near Lyon) and adore the fact that both are in the beautiful countryside, yet within easy reach of wonderful cities.Travel has always been my passion. I started working in a major tour operator where, during 8 years, I learnt all about creating package holidays. Then I moved into the more demanding world of corporate events – constructing and delivering programmes on all continents with a much greater focus on outstanding service.Over the past three decades my work has earned several national and European industry awards, but more importantly, it has provided invaluable experience of the art of travel (whether by air, sea, rail or road) and knowledge of an amazing range of countries, destinations and cultures.With travel, the key is not learning how to get it right, but how to avoid getting it wrong!The most rewarding aspect of my work has always been the reactions of participants after experiencing a programme that I helped to create.Now I want to deliver similar experiences for individuals who want to avoid the hassle of high street travel shops, or endless online searching with little advice on what may or may not suit. Our sophisticated IT systems give me access to the widest imaginable range of flights, hotels, transport and sightseeing options. I can, therefore, provide you with great value, coupled with truly impartial advice.The little touches make all the differencePackages can consist of so many features, and yet I know very well that small things add more pleasure and delight than the effort involved in arranging them.Of which happy memories are made….It doesn’t need to be a complicated itinerary or far-away destination. You may want a holiday in Europe, a wedding/honeymoon package, a family gathering or simply a short break. You’ll get 100% effort from me to tailor-make your arrangements – at no extra cost, with no stress or hassle. Plus everything I book is fully insured and financially protected (payments are held in separate trust accounts).Give me a call at any time, or drop me a message. You deserve the maximum value and enjoyment – I can help you get it.

    Whether you are booking a quick trip to Europe, at home in the British Isles or planning something special long haul, I can provide you with a quality holiday or business trip with the great attention to detail that is vital in making the trip memorable.I have recently relocated, with my two children and two dogs, back to the UK to live in the beautiful region of Cornwall. Having spent the last 27 working in the travel and hospitality industry living and working in Greece, whilst spending many of my winters in Australia, becoming a Travel Counsellor has given me the perfect opportunity to use my wealth of knowledge doing what I love here. I grew up as a Captains daughter so travel was really in my blood and have always lived close to the sea wherever I have been. My parents were extensively travelled before we were even born and we grew up with tales of Singapore and the Far East, and the wilderness of the African jungle, with my father living ten years in South Africa. My own love affair with travel started over thirty years ago when I moved to Athens at a young age to start my adventures there. I spent many years travelling the country selecting accommodation for an upmarket specialist and have spent the last 12 years running a country retreat for walkers and lovers of the rural countryside on the island of Crete, and have an instinctive understanding of the needs of the more discerning and independent traveller.I look forward to helping you plan anything from the trip of a lifetime to a quick weekend away and can assist you with every aspect of your trip, as well as adding some amazing diversions to enhance any trip you are planning.Although I have contacts and knowledge of a great many places my expertise lies in Greece, I also have a vast knowledge of Australia having spent nearly 2 years of my life there spread over nearly 20 years.With the flexibility of working outside office hours and always being on the end of the phone, it is like having a personal travel agent in your pocket!

I wanted to concentrate on giving my customers the highest possible levels of personal service and independent travel advice.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 flights, accommodation and transfer alternatives to find something that suits your needs exactly.

If I could holiday anywhere in the world I would take a flight to Turks and Caicos( That hasn't changed not got there yet !) as I would love to lounge around on their beautiful white sandy beaches and swim in the clear blue seas, and also swim with the marine life. You too could be experiencing this!I can help you arrange any part of your travel arrangements – so whether you just need a flight to Barcelona or a last minute holiday to Florida I can help. I can also get you great deals on accommodation so if you need to know the best Paris hotels for a last minute holiday to France or the best Dubai hotels for a luxurious week away in the sun please contact me.

    My insatiable wanderlust first began back in 2004 as I stepped barefoot on the sugar white sands of Koh Samet in Thailand. If I close my eyes, I'm right back there in a flash. Since then I've travelled to some of the world's most untouched places, collecting an encyclopedia of knowledge along the way. I've sailed to the remote Indonesian island of Flores to see Komodo dragons and swam in the incredible Kuang Si Falls of Luang Prabang. I've sipped the finest wines in South Africa's Delaire Graff Estate and shopped for spices in India's colourful markets.It’s these life-enriching moments that I love to create for my clients. Being fully independent means it's less about the corporate bottom-line and more about the client experience. Before you book, I spend time getting to really know you - the things you love and anything you loathe. Prefer a window seat on your flight? No problem. Keen to steer clear of crowds? Noted. I'll build a relationship with you that can be likened to a trusted friend, with the back-up of full ATOL financial protection should something go wrong. When it comes to the type of travel I organise, tailormade trips, luxury long-haul, honeymoons and family-friendly holidays are my expertise. For anything else, my network of 2,000+ Travel Counsellors are on hand to help me find the perfect holiday to suit your needs.If this sounds like the type of service you're looking for, I'd love to chat. Call or email me anytime and I'll be in touch!

This ensures competitive rates at no extra cost to yourself. I can offer unparalleled levels of service, far superior to anything you will find online or on the high street. My love of travel began aged 21 when I spent a fantastic year working and travelling in Australia. I was hooked. It wasn’t long before my next adventure, travelling extensively throughout South East Asia before spending 12 months exploring and working in New Zealand. Returning home, a career within the travel industry seemed a natural choice. I have 15 years’ experience working for a multi award-winning company organising bespoke and often complex journeys. This has given me an extensive knowledge of the industry as well as being able to indulge my passion for travel.I am fortunate to have travelled to over 50 countries and can offer first-hand experience. Some of my highlights include; trekking to see mountain gorillas in Rwanda, over-landing through Central America, seeing the Pyramids of Egypt and cruising the Nile, marvelling at the temples of Angkor Wat, and soaking up the music and atmosphere on the streets of Havana. Along the way I’ve stayed in an eclectic range of accommodation, from simple beach shacks to luxurious villas and palaces, so I can offer guidance whatever the budget.For peace of mind, anything you book with me is 100% financially protected by the Travel Counsellors Financial Trust and ATOL.

    Whilst currently London based, I divide my time between visiting friends in Yorkshire and family in Bournemouth. However, from many years of leading tours and living abroad I have clients from all across the UK and further afield, many who have travelled with me and become great friends.Thirty years ago I started working in Greece in summer, skiing in Austria in winter, then progressed to guiding tours to North America, Asia, the Indian sub-continent, the Middle East as well as Central Europe and Italy from my base of almost 15 years close to Salzburg in Austria. Until becoming a Travel Counsellor I spent over ten years as Head of Product, at niche tour operators, creating tours worldwide including tours for music and opera fans, single travellers and specialist religious pilgrimages.When asked where my favourite place I have travelled to is, that changes often as I recall many experiences and each outshines the other. When you are ready to make plans or want inspiration I will happily enthuse and bring iconic sights and descriptions of scenery to a table of ideas and add those special hidden extras and touches that you won't always find in travelogues.My belief is that a holiday or cultural experience is personal and means something different to us all. We replenish and revitalise our body, soul and mind, immerse ourselves in fascinating foreign cultures, absorb the surroundings and enrich our lives spiritually. The experiences and memories travel gives us have immeasurable value that no material possessions can offer.I'll work with you to find the perfect holiday for you. We can arrange a call, video call or a friendly chat over coffee (or something a little stronger!) to get to know one another. I believe a face-to-face meeting helps gauge your reaction to ideas and suggestions so much better.Let's spend time discussing what you and your companions want from your travels; your likes, hobbies, bucket list and any previous travel stories you wish to share. Then, armed with that understanding, utilising my knowledge from more than 30 years’ experience working in the travel industry, I will work to find or create that holiday, cruise, travel or cultural experience that is just right for you. Whether it be a bespoke specially created itinerary or an off the shelf package holiday, time away is precious and needs thought. As an independent personal Travel Counsellor, I am not tied to any one company or ‘preferred partners’ and have the freedom to select airlines, hotels, cruises, sights and attractions based on personal experience, previous guest and client enjoyment. All backed with full financial protection with ATOL or the Travel Counsellors Trust, giving you peace of mind. It is the best in the industry.As your personal Travel Counsellor I'll ensure you have all information you require leading up to your departure, with passport, visa and health information including any necessary updates and follow your journey until you return home ensuring you are never left ‘high and dry’ should anything unexpected occur. All this is backed by our Travel Counsellors support team who are available 24/7. Having witnessed how other tour operators or travel agents fall short in serving their guests, this award-winning support is something I am extremely proud of.Call me or email me and let's get your journey started!

    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.

    Nicky Mellusco

    01403 258204 Horsham

    My experience in the travel industry is far-reaching having worked for over 16 years for a leading luxury UK tour operator and prior to that, two years at a successful independent travel agent. My travel highlights have included travelling to Venice on board the Orient Express, swimming with dolphins in Bermuda, sailing the Norwegian fjords, sampling afternoon tea at the Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong, arriving in Monaco by helicopter and marvelling at a performance of Cinderella at the Mariinsky Theatre in St Petersburg. My travel inspiration started from a young age when I lived in the south of France and East Germany for a year as part of my language degree. In later years, I took a sabbatical in South Africa, where I volunteered at a rehabilitation centre for sick and injured animals and took the opportunity to explore the Gauteng & Limpopo provinces. I am a self-confessed USA addict and for our honeymoon back in 2019 we travelled to Boston, Cape Cod and the gulf coast of Florida. I am fortunate to have family on the West Coast of the States, have extensive knowledge of California (In September 2025 I clocked up my 17th trip!) and am adept at arranging coastal road trips. Everything is entirely personalised according to your tastes, budget and sense of adventure! I am a veritable ‘foodie’ in my free time (as my past travel blogs have always attested to) and my concierge expertise extends to recommending local restaurants and making reservations in advance to enhance your travel experience. My wealth of experience and personal knowledge, together with exceptional patience will ensure I source the correct holiday according to your exact requirements. This is reflected in the consistent positive feedback I have received from longstanding clients and past awards I have been given for customer satisfaction.I was born & bred in Horsham, West Sussex and after London adopting me for 15 years, returned to my home roots with my husband and dog Sammie. My personal circumstances allow me to work flexible hours and I am more than happy to discuss travel plans outside of normal office hours. Perhaps once the children have been put to bed or when you have more time to yourself at weekends.Building my business from the ground up has been hard work and pressurised at times but as I reach my 8-year landmark as a business owner, I feel a huge sense of achievement and excitement for the future. So.....where will 2026 take you?I very much look forward to hearing from you.

    Whether you're seeking sand or snow, the sea or a city, long haul or short haul, I am certain you require financial protection and advice that you can trust. As your Personal Travel Counsellor, I confidently guarantee both.Born and raised in Cornwall, I grew up immersed in tourism and was fortunate to enjoy many holidays as a child. These experiences sparked my passion for travel and my drive to explore new places and cultures. After obtaining a Distinction in Travel and Tourism, I secured a Holiday Representative position with TUI in Lanzarote. After a season, I returned to Cornwall and worked in Events Operation and Wedding Coordination at a local hotel before heading back overseas as a Concierge for Sovereign Holidays. I provided a 5*, 24/7 Concierge Service in Tenerife and then continued to do a further season in Cyprus. Following my time with Sovereign, I was offered a Guest Services/Duty Manager position at The Annabelle Hotel, Paphos, where I spent a further two years before sailing the Eastern Caribbean as a Social & Welfare Host for Marella Cruises.Now, as a Travel Counsellor, I combine all my previous experiences to provide a high-quality service I am extremely proud to offer you. I am available at your convenience, no matter your location, and constantly strive to exceed expectations by providing the highest level of personalised customer service, honest advice, and attention to detail. I take pride in building a rapport with my customers to tailor-make holidays that fulfil all individual requirements, creating memories of a lifetime. Through my experience, I am aware that obstacles can arise during travel. I have personally dealt with a spectrum of scenarios, from a simple flight delay to COVID-19 on a cruise ship. You can trust my calm and collected manner and have confidence that I will be there for you every step of the way.In recent years, I have travelled extensively with my business throughout Bali, the Nusa Islands, Gili Island, Singapore, Thailand, and Malaysia.

    01798 850 027 West Chiltington

    From Marcel Proust – ‘The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking landscapes, but in having new eyes’(let me be your planning eyes!)I live in a village in West Sussex called West Chiltington located approximately 30minutes from Gatwick and the coast of Brighton. I have lived here in the village for over 30years and just love country life.I originally hail from New Zealand(so know this area very well) which is where I had the best travel education facilities afforded to me. I started from the ground (in 1979 – just a baby) as just an office assistant in a VFR travel agency dealing mainly with the Dutch and Belgian expats. I learnt most of my formative trade there and quickly moved up the ranks to consultant and tour guide. I became a member of the New Zealand Institute of Travel which enabled me to expand my knowledge.I started travelling at the age of 16 with my sisters and we were lucky to be able to travel to Europe and some of the Pacific Islands. From there my itchy feet started. In 1986 I moved to Holland (where my Dad is from). In November 1986 I joined British Airways and worked for them in reservations and sales at Heathrow and Gatwick for 17years. I was fortunate to travel a great deal to all four continents (more than once) and forged some lasting life long friendships and experiences. I did all the required exams in sales, marketing, ticketing and operations. I won most sales prizes every month for highest productivity and an Award For Excellence.I left BA to work in a Travel Agency specialising in Cuba and the Caribbean where I was a Manager. I gained invaluable experience and made very useful contacts (who still book with me to this day). I did a two year stint with Qatar Airways at their Heathrow ticket desk and I then set up on my own, and so here we are. I love everything Caribbean and Latino and have extensive and personal knowledge of this region , especially Cuba, Jamaica and Grenada, but I am not limited to these areas and can sell any type of dream. Everything I sell is 100% financially protected and completely impartial, and tailormade to you.I am contactable 24 hours a day and you only deal with me.Contact me and let me unlock your dreams – ‘One’s destination is never a place but a new way of seeing things’(Henry Miller)

    Alison Kent

    0203 883 7660 London

    My name is Alison Kent and I am an independent Travel Counsellor. I live in Eltham with my partner John and our much‑loved menagerie: Bill, Ernie and Blossom the dogs, Mabel the cat, Coco, Petal, Pearl and Bree the guinea pigs, and Henrietta, Oregon, Florence, Pretoria and Dottie the chickens. It is a busy, happy home, and travel stories are very much part of the fabric of our lives.My love affair with travel began when I was five years old, listening wide‑eyed to the stories of my big brother’s glamorous air hostess girlfriend. I decided there and then that I would work in travel, and I have been fortunate enough to spend the last 47 years doing exactly that.Over those four and a half decades I have held a variety of senior roles across the industry, from high‑street retail and student travel to cruise, tour operating and high‑end tailor‑made. I have managed branches and regions, overseen fares and ticketing, led VIP and leisure sales teams, and worked as a product manager for destinations including the Indian Ocean, Caribbean and UAE. I have also spent time living in the USA and working at sea, which has given me a deep, first‑hand understanding of how every part of a journey fits together for my clients.In March 2017 I was headhunted by Travel Counsellors. It felt a little daunting at first, but the flexibility of working from home, running my own business, and still having the support of our Head Office in Manchester quickly won me over. Most importantly, it allows me to give my clients truly dedicated, one‑to‑one service instead of being tied to a standard 9.00 to 5.30 day. I am incredibly proud of the level of service and care I provide, and many of my clients return to me time and again and recommend me to their friends and family.I have visited around 70% of the world and have no plans to stop. My adventures this year will take me to Moldova, the Faroe Islands, the Azores and France. My current bucket list includes Zanzibar, Greenland, Borneo and Antarctica. My all‑time favourite destination is South Africa, and I am especially passionate about Africa as a whole: its wildlife, landscapes, cultures and people. I also have a real soft spot for the Balkans, with their complex history, dramatic scenery and wonderfully warm hospitality.Responsible tourism is at the heart of how I like to travel and how I like to plan for my clients. Wherever possible I work with properties and experiences that support local communities, protect wildlife and minimise their impact on the environment, so that the trips we create are not only unforgettable but also positive for the places we visit.Some of my most memorable travel experiences include: gorilla trekking in Rwanda, swimming with dolphins in Oman and turtles in Barbados in their natural habitats, wolf trekking in Spain, volunteering at an AIDS clinic in Uganda, and seeing the Big Five in Kenya and Tanzania. I have crossed 80 degrees north in the Arctic and seen a blue whale, snorkelled on the Great Barrier Reef, surfed in Hawaii, practised yoga on the beach in Bali, stayed in a traditional ryokan at Mount Fuji, travelled on the Orient Express from Bangkok to Singapore, and taken the Rocky Mountaineer from Vancouver to Banff. I have also been caving in Oregon, coffee tasting in Colombia, backpacking in Syria (once only 90 km from Baghdad), and even had the surreal experience of being offered a baby for sale in Papua New Guinea.Travel has given me lifelong friends around the world and a few unforgettable celebrity encounters, including meeting the legendary Pelé and my travel hero Judith Chalmers, who once introduced me at a cruise conference as “more travelled than she is”.I live and breathe travel and I am passionate about using my knowledge, insight and experience to make your travel dreams come true, in a way that is thoughtful, enriching and responsible. I look forward to hearing from you and helping you plan and book your next unforgettable journey.

  • Emma Fillingham

    01952 898430 Telford

    HiThank you for visiting my webpage.My name is Emma Fillingham, I live in Telford, Shropshire and I have more than 23 years experience in the Travel Industry having worked for some of the major high street tour operators. Working in a busy high street superstore meant I wasn't able to offer the level of customer service that I believe people deserve when booking something so precious to them, plus constantly being restricted to what holidays I could sell led me to make the move to Travel Counsellors where I now work as a self-employed independent travel advisor.Travel Counsellors have major contracts in place with almost every tour operator, airline, hotel chain and travel company in the world, so whether you are looking to organise the trip of a lifetime, a round the world cruise, a short city break or a family holiday on the beach somewhere hot, I can be your personal Travel Counsellor and take care of everything for you meaning sourcing all of the best options and allowing you to book the holiday that you want and not the holiday that somebody else wants you to take. Excellent customer service has been the secret to my success in the industry, as your travel arrangements mean as much to me as they do to you. I will go that extra mile to make sure we get it absolutely perfect for you.I have travelled all over the world during my career and have been as far as New Zealand, Thailand, the Caribbean, Mexico, Florida, Egypt, Turkey and many other European countries, not to mention city breaks, cruises, and even Lapland to see Santa himself! This of course means that I have gained a lot of first-hand experience and would love to share this knowledge with you in order to make sure you get the perfect break.I have witnessed the pitfalls of booking online through sporadic websites and there is nothing worse than getting to the airport with no flight seats booked, no transfer to the hotel, or even worse no reservation at all at the hotel. It happens all the time, but not with me, as I will personally confirm everything for you prior to your departure.Please feel free to contact me when it suits you best and let me do the work for you.For me, it’s personal!Emma

    I've been creating memories for people for over 45 years. It was In 1978 I started my career in travel; and after a lifetime working in resort, hotel and travel operations management, today I am still here helping people who want to see the world do it with confidence, in safety and with financial protection.In the pandemic years, I looked after my clients with a "whatever it takes" attitude; reorganised travel, and made refunds promptly. In 2021 we moved forward, finally getting people to where they want to go and 2023 has seen my best year ever as a Travel Counsellor and I can only thank the hundreds of you who have placed your trust in me to manage your travel. I'm often asked what sort of travel I do - there is no definitive answer.From city breaks to ocean and river cruises, campervans, river boats, and yachts along with complex flight itineraries, group breaks and conferences. I've organised multi-centre itineraries to Italy, Croatia, Norway, Japan, Costa Rica, Chile and Peru, New Zealand, Australia, Hawaii, USA & Canada fly-drives, Sri-Lanka, Malaysia and Indonesia wildlife holidays including the odd orangutan and a Komodo dragon or two. I've planned complex rail and road itineraries across Spain, Croatia, Montenegro and France, and plenty of Greek Island hopping. I’m a globetrotter and have visited 72 countries. crossed the Pacific exploring Hawaii down to Tonga, Samoa to French Polynesia to New Zealand and Australia, sailed around South America, enjoyed the Indian Ocean, and made several Atlantic crossings, arriving into wonderful New York, and "inching" under the Verrazano Narrows Bridge as the sun comes up, glistening against the windows of the skyscrapers in Manhattan.And having worked in many ski resorts over the years in Austria and Italy, and also skied extensively in Switzerland and France, I'm also a bit of a whizz on ski holidays. I have my own FB page for ski enthusiasts - just type in "Ski the World with Vanessa" to find me. It's a haven for ski deals, ski chat and equipment advice and if you are beginner there is no better place to start !In 2019 I earned the Master Tourism qualification from the Japanese National Tourist Office - I've already helped many clients to explore this mysterious and exciting nation, by rail road, foot, bike and boat . with more unique handcrafted adventures planned in 2025 and a ski holiday planned for 2026.On the subject of snow, I'm also very excited to be planning yet another Antarctic experience for my clients with hiking in Patagonia for 2026, and more Australia and New Zealand itineraries and adventures in Fiji and French Polynesian !And, my specialist destination? Ohh its complicated because I know so many! I've been to Italy 28 times, worked there for many summer and winter ski seasons, and know the country exceptionally well; and over the last four years, have been refreshing my Italian language skills with some success. I look to find unique, and different experiences for my clients and I know that many of you reading this, will have come to me because you are tired of spending endless hours at your computer or squinting at your phone, worried about getting things wrong, unsure with what you are committing yourself to. More than ever, I know you are looking for that personal touch to travel, and not a faceless website devoid of human contact. My business is built on referrals and repeat business, and as a testament has quadrupled in size since 2019.Why not read my client testimonials below and then call me to start your next adventure ?I am more than happy to be available at a time that suits you, including evenings and weekends as my hours are flexible.Lets travel in 2025, do something amazing and make it a year to remember...

  • Carter Laffan

    0207 125 0009 Croydon

    I have worked in the travel industry in both leisure and corporate travel for over 20 years now. A gap year desire to travel became three years of living and working in various far-flung places, but I found I was always working for small tour companies, at hotels and once even on a yacht around Madagascar!My desire to travel and work within this industry lead me first to leisure and tailor-made trips. The conversation of where to go and what to do when there, to make every trip full and unforgettable with someone is always a great experience. I still travel as often as possible as there is no substitute for real first experience of that feeling when you walk into an amazing lobby or just warm and charming hotel. There is no way to describe the sand between your feet or a wonder of an ancient temple without the feel and sense of awe. That’s what I get to sell. While I have a passion for these trips, my long career lead to a focus on corporate travel over the last 8 years. The fast pace and often complicated logistical nature is something I found I really enjoy. While the travel may be corporate, I believe the service should be personal and in a friendly manner. I have experience with meetings, groups, conferences and can assist in writing and implementing travel policy and booking process if needed.

I live in Warwick with my husband Sean, our son Joseph (16), our daughter Millie (12) and Lula our 4 year old Cavapoo!My passion for travel started over 20 years ago; by the age of 18, I was working as an au pair in Nice, South of France. I was back in the UK for only a month before I flew to USA to continue with my love of travel. Since then I’ve been fortunate enough to travel to over 40 destinations worldwide.I have always enjoyed working closely with people and for 19 years have worked frontline for an Emergency Ambulance Service.A few years ago I decided it was time to follow my dream. I had always loved planning and researching holidays and itineraries for friends and family. Owning my own business as a Travel Counsellor has allowed me to extend my passion for travel further.
