Welcome to my page. My name is Anne-Marie Banks and I am a Travel Counsellor based in Redditch (although I am able to book you your dream holiday from wherever you may live!) From a young age I have loved and been passionate about travel. I am lucky enough to have travelled across four continents and explored a wide range of destinations (though there are still many more on my “bucket list”). My first introduction into the work of a Travel Counsellor was as a customer trying to navigate the complexities of a Disneyworld trip. I was so impressed by the advice, service and overall experience that I received, that I was inspired into becoming a Travel Counsellor myself. As your personal advisor I can work with you to tailor make and organise a trip which meets your exact travel requirements; from package holidays to bespoke adventures, from city breaks to ski and snow, from cruises to safaris, I really do have it all covered. I can liaise with you at a time and place which fits into your busy schedule and take time to really understand your needs. Additionally, you yourself can rest easy in the knowledge that you have a single point of contact for all aspects of your trip meaning all the small details that transform a break from “good” to “unforgettable” can be guaranteed. As a busy, working mum I know just how precious holidays are and therefore how important it is to get it absolutely right. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

My name is Meher Oliaji, and I learnt one thing from COVID. Working from home is easy. After more than 30 years running my own travel agency, Karnak Travel in Egham, I now have the support and innovative technology to support my clients while working mainly from home. This has been a new adventure for me, as a Travel Counsellor; still working for myself but now with the support of a large travel agency group behind me.With Travel Counsellors I continue booking with the specialist tour operators my clients have learnt to trust over decades. I can also go on doing what I love: building holiday plans and business trips which exactly suit my clients using flights, hotels, excursions, and activities sourced, negotiated and vetted by Travel Counsellors.My experience includes arranging complex tailormade itineraries and tours to Africa, Asia, Australia and America, but also cruises and stay-still holidays to the Caribbean, Europe, and even Newquay, as well of years of arranging business travel to some fairly obscure places.I’m thorough, careful and I try to ensure my clients won’t have to worry about anything because I’ve thought about everything beforehand.I would love to send all my clients to Seychelles, the most beautiful country in the world. But the truth is, since the world’s most perfect beaches were my childhood playground, my own trips have been less relaxing. I loved the grandeur of the Canadian Rockies, the seemingly endless plains of the Serengeti, the Great Wall of China, the ridiculously ornate interior of St Petersburg’s Hermitage. And I’ve wanted, since I visited 30 years ago, to return to Samarkand, now in a country that didn’t even exist then. Strangely, since my travel agency was named Karnak Travel, I have never been to Egypt.I’m quite a fan of group tours, which make seeing a lot really easy, but since my own first exhausting tour aged 19, called “8 Countries in 10 days” I’ve known the benefits of building my own trips and I’ve enjoyed recommending, planning, and booking for other people too. I’m hoping to go on doing that for my past clients and many future ones for a long time to come.

My experiences began early. My Dad started his own travel business in the 1970s and I've been absorbed by the subject ever since. I went down another road for a while – a degree in accountancy, a Masters in IT – but the family business was way more interesting. I've never looked back. 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 been running my own business since 2015. Edinburgh is my home.Please feel free to have a nosey around my website for some inspiration! www.gillianstewartholidays.com

I love my job. Why? How many people can say that they sell dreams? That they sell the world?Being an independent travel advisor franchisee, but working with a multi award winning global company, I provide a unique travel service, using award-winning technology to tailor make travel plans, both leisure and corporate. From UK breaks to around-the-world personalised itineraries, from honeymoons, weddings and package holidays, to school, skiing and golfing trips: I book them all.

I am a firm believer that everybody, irrespective of ability/disability, should have equal access to the joys of travel.

Unlike many high street travel agents, I am completely independent and have links to 1000s of airlines, cruise lines and hotels globally, all at the click of a button. Because we have hundreds of directly contracted hotels globally, we are therefore very competitive. My doors don’t close at 5.30. I am available to talk through your travel plans at times to suit you, whether that be weekends or outside of normal office working hours. No anonymous, uncaring (and expensive) call centres; just me from beginning to end.I take care of every part of your booking, from all pre-travel documentation, administering your APIs, liaising with the hotels and cruise ships directly, prior to your arrival to ensure everything is in tip-top condition for you. I take care of all medical assistance needs and requests; I hand deliver tickets to your door and a few little extras too. (However, I draw the line at packing your suitcase; and yes, I have been asked that question a few times!) Most importantly, I am available 24/7 whilst you are away in resort, should any unforeseen eventualities crop up. You will have a direct dial button to me, via our mobile app on your phone.

Travel has always been a huge part of my life – both professionally and personally – and now I’m here to help you experience the world in the most effortless and memorable way possible.With over 13 years of experience in the travel industry, I’ve been lucky enough to live and work abroad in destinations like Turkey, Spain and Greece before moving into high street travel. My career has taken me through well-known names such as TUI and Hays, where I managed branches in Heswall, after working in Canterbury, Cheshire Oaks, and Chester. Most recently, I’ve spent the last year creating luxury, tailor-made holidays for high-end clients – an experience that reinforced my belief that everyone deserves that level of care, detail, and personal attention.That’s why I’ve partnered with Travel Counsellors – a company that gives me the tools, support, and freedom to build incredible, bespoke holidays, backed by award-winning technology and complete financial protection. From finding unique local gems to knowing which hotel room gets the best evening sun, I’m here to take care of every detail.Travel isn’t just my job – it’s my passion. Over the years, I’ve ticked off some amazing adventures: watching the Northern Lights in Iceland, capturing perfect photos at the Eiffel Tower, Leaning Tower of Pisa and Chichen Itza, relaxing on the white sands of the Virgin Islands, and cruising the Caribbean and Mediterranean. I’ve wandered the iconic whitewashed streets of Oia in Santorini and even visited Florida five times!But enough about me – what matters most is you. I take the time to understand your travel dreams, your style, and what makes a holiday truly special for you.

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 Aussie Specialist for many years, visiting over 20 times; 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 and have crossed the Med with them several times. 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 the Prince of Wales having won a competition for start-up businesses in the Calderdale area. Late in June 2008 I joined Travel Counsellors and closed that business down and – one of the best decisions I have made in my career. I’ve travelled widely throughout Australasia, North America, Asia, Europe, Mexico and South Africa; 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: in the past few years I have spent most winters in Tenerife and have visited India, Morocco, Australia, Greece, Turkey, Italy, Holland, Denmark, Barbados, Mexico, Thailand, New Orleans: 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.

Hello, I’m Katie May – your trusted Travel Counsellor, based in the heart of Lincolnshire. Boston is home to me, my husband, our teenage son, a lively dog, and a muddy cob (horse, for anyone not in the know). Life here is full of energy and warmth – and that’s exactly what I bring to every holiday I create: a wholehearted commitment to helping you craft life-long memories.My passion for travel ignited as a solo adventurer in Australia during my first gap year after school. The travel bug truly took hold during a second gap year post-university, when I embarked on a round-the-world backpacking adventure with my then-boyfriend (now husband): we partied under full moon skies, lived on remote outback cattle stations, soared above the Grand Canyon, and woke to lions’ roars on safari under canvas.Since then, I’ve snorkelled in the crystal-clear waters of the Maldives, marvelled at the ancient majesty of Machu Picchu, and been immersed in the vibrant culture of India. These, and many more experiences have gifted me memories to last a lifetime and inspired my career helping others do the same. Years with a leading luxury tour operator allowed me to specialise in crafting journeys that truly mean more – from exhilarating ski adventures and sun-drenched Mediterranean escapes, to dreamy winter-sun retreats across the Indian Ocean, Middle East, and Caribbean. Yet, the Seychelles remains a personal favourite: a paradise where those once-in-a-lifetime moments seem effortless, thanks to icing-sugar sands and idyllic lagoons.As your Travel Counsellor, I’ll guide you towards a Better Journey at every step – whether you’re chasing bucket-list experiences, seeking total relaxation, craving cultural adventures, or longing for meaningful family time. I’ll help you build a holiday that sparks pure joy and creates life-long, joyful memories. My personal service and meticulous planning mean you can truly relax, knowing every detail is in safe hands.Because I’m a flexible homeworker balancing family (and muddy cob) life, I’m here whenever you need – daytime, evenings, or weekends. Let’s make your next holiday not just a trip, but the first chapter in a story of cherished new memories.Let’s start planning your Better Journey today. Get in touch, and let’s create life-long memories you’ll treasure forever.

Hi, I am Heidi and I am your local Travel Counsellor for the Cotswolds, with my office being close to the medieval and historical town of Burford -' Gateway of the Cotswolds’. I love being a Travel Counsellor and to my customers, I hope it is apparent that I enjoy what I do. I am not bound to any tour operators which is an advantage and neither do I have sales targets. Therefore it's all about taking care of you and making sure I find you the holiday that's suits you.With over 35 years of travel industry experience i mainly specialise in arranging tailor-made bespoke holidays worldwide, ski groups, rail itineraries and cruises, however if a quick Easyjet flight is all you require I am just as happy to assist!Over this period, I have built up a strong relationship not only with my clients but also with leading airlines and hotels around the world. I have an extensive knowledge of the aviation industry and I pride myself on simplifying the most complicated itinerary, and will always go the extra mile to exceed my clients’ expectations and requirements.The most rewarding part of my job has been providing nothing less than the full package; an efficient, prompt, accurate and friendly service, no matter how demanding or urgent the request may be.I have travelled widely across the continents, and have been lucky enough in my career to have visited many memorable places. Some of the recent highlights have included spending 6 weeks in the South African bush Game Ranger training, hiking the red dunes in Namibia, sailing the Croatian coastline and driving the length and breadth of Italy, however a sunbed, sandy Caribbean beach and a good book still have that allure!I had lived in Kent all my life, however now my 2 boys James & Max have flown the nest - (literally in Max's case as he has now achieved his childhood dream of being a pilot - formally with Easyjet and now with British Airways) and James running his part of the family farm, I have escaped to the Cotswolds for the next exciting chapter. With my office based at home in the pretty village of Eastleach, I will always be on call and here to assist you with all your travel needs. I look forward to hearing from you and making your travel arrangements as seamless as possible.

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?

I am originally from Sussex and my Dad now lives in Eastbourne when they are not travelling the world.After graduating with a Geography degree, I started my career in the travel industry, and after a few years, I moved to an educational travel company where I have been for over 20 years.

I am very grateful to have so many loyal clients, many who I have taken care of since the 1980's!I love the Caribbean. I have visited numerous islands over the years including St. Lucia, Grand Cayman, Grenada and Tobago. I was also fortunate enough to be invited on a day trip to Mustique, we flew over on an eight seater aircraft and had a super day. I would love to visit all of the islands! One of my favourite trips ever, was a multi-centre trip to Vietnam and Cambodia. It was truly amazing! First stop was the almost biblical Saigon, it really was a journey back in time! Then on to Nha Trang with a stay at the beautiful Evason Hideaway. Siem Reap was next where we were lucky enough to experience an early morning VIP visit by 'tuk tuk' (rickshaw) to the awesome Angkor Wat temples, it was 'out of this world' an experience that will stay with me forever! We then went on to the ultra modern Hanoi, such a variety of amazing experiences, you just have to see it all to believe it!I have a variety of travel awards including the Caribbean Tourism Award and the Australian Specialist Certificate which was enhanced by a fabulous family holiday to Australia and New Zealand. If I could holiday anywhere in the world I would take a trip to America to include Las Vegas, San Francisco followed by a cruise around Hawaii.

Hi and thanks for visiting my page!You and I both love travelling, so let’s work together to create memorable experiences for you whether it be a short break, a family holiday, a special occasion, time away with friends, your honeymoon, or just some much-needed R&R.I joined Travel Counsellors in 2014 whilst living in Abu Dhabi, in United Arab Emirates, which was home for myself and my husband for the last 8 years. It is such an honour to be part of this exciting and innovative company where our ethos is firmly rooted in excellent customer service. My time in the UAE is full of great memories that I will cherish forever as I met so many wonderful people many of whom started out as colleagues or customers and are now friends. On returning to England, I knew that if I wanted to continue providing this great service to friends and family, I would need to open a UK branch. So here I am, eager and ready to go on this new journey!Life in the UAE is ever-changing and the great cultural melting pot just feeds my love of people and embracing different cultures, many of which I learnt about through friendships with people from across the region. It is such a privilege to know that I had that opportunity. I was born and raised in South London from a Jamaican family and part of the vibrant Caribbean community in England; that in itself is a whole travel experience! Over many years I have enjoyed putting together our family trips, organising flights, transfers, car hire, train reservations and excursions. Since joining Travel Counsellors, I have used the invaluable in-house company training and my extensive professional background in HR to put together some wonderfully exciting itineraries for leisure and business clients in the UAE, the US, the UK and a variety of other countries. My clients are from a cross-section of backgrounds and professions with varied interests and requirements for their trips, which has enabled me to establish great international contacts that I can tap into for the benefit of my treasured clientele. It goes without saying, that I’ve had the pleasure to visiting some wonderful places over the years with our family; my husband and 3 (now grown up!) children. We explored Abu Dhabi and the other six Emirates of the UAE extensively and whilst living in the region, also went to the beautiful nation of Oman. My husband and I got bitten by the “travel-bug” as teenagers whilst visiting Spain and taking round trips around the English shores. Over the years, we have visited many parts of the USA, several Caribbean islands, enjoyed countless European weekends away as well as being fortunate enough to visit Japan and Malaysia. Needless to say, there are many more places on my bucket list, including parts of the UK, that I’m yet to see. With over 25 years of experience building and maintaining client relationships, I pride myself on delivering premium quality care and service to every single client. My promise to my clients is to listen to your needs, do the research and remain flexible to the changes as they come. I aim to remain impartial, eliminate the hassle of internet searching and to make your entire experience a pleasure from booking through to every step of the trip itself. No travel centres, just you and I making your travel dreams come true.Let’s explore ideas and get booking together!

I’m Jemma Kelly, an Independent Travel Counsellor specialising in planning and booking luxury family holidays, tailormade travel, cruises and honeymoons.I love the challenge of setting off on a mission to find the perfect holiday for somebody based on their likes and dislikes. I ask lots of questions to really get under the skin of their requirements, preferences and budget. And nothing thrills me more than hearing how much they have loved every minute...and ask me to help book their next trip!I am a mother, wife, sister and friend who loves being a Travel Counsellor and the flexibility it gives me and my family; whilst always being readily available and highly responsive to my customers when they need help and don’t have the time.I have an eclectic taste in travel and have been fortunate to experience many different countries and cultures. From road tripping across the West Coasts of America and Australia, getting married in Mexico, sightseeing in New York, cruising around the Med, spending Christmas in the Caribbean, to climbing the 268 steps in Hong Kong to see the Big Buddha - with a 9-month-old. And more recently, with our two young children experiencing places closer to home such as the beautiful Greek Islands. It would be impossible to choose a favourite. However, I am not here to recommend places I have enjoyed (although I will if this matches your needs), I am here to find you the best holiday experience that you desire.Everything you book is 100% financially protected against supplier failure by either ATOL or the Travel Counsellors Trust, giving you absolute peace of mind.

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. My aim is to understand not just where you want to go, but what you love and what you’d prefer to avoid. There is no ‘one size fits all’ with me, it’s always personal, always tailored, and you can always expect a prompt reply, whether you reach out by phone, WhatsApp, email, or DM.If you’d like to learn more, please have a look at my blogs, scroll through my socials, or read some of the lovely testimonials from people I’ve helped before. However you prefer to get in touch, I’m here, ready to chat through your ideas and help you plan a holiday as individual as you are.Your booking is always protected by a 100% financially secure Trust Fund, and the reassurance of a 24/7 Duty Office, just in case. With my approach, you’ll always feel safe, valued, and genuinely cared for, from our first conversation until you return home. I can’t wait to help you design your next adventure...

I have worked in the Travel industry for over 30 years in a variety of roles. I have been extremely fortunate to experience so many wonderful trips across the globe, these include numerous Beach getaways, City holidays in Europe & Worldwide, River & Ocean cruises and some of the most memorable adventures worldwide, from snorkelling in the Great Barrier, back packing trips in South East Asia to a VIP 5* experience in Las Vegas, Los Angeles and San Francisco just to name just a few. Using all my experience and passion are vital ingredients to the success of finding the perfect holiday for you, but also taking the time to build a strong relationship and find out what really matters, I care about getting it right for you, for you to feel safe and valued every step of the way.
