My customers know I am 100% committed to providing the personal level of service that they deserve. What's more, my hours are flexible so I can be available at a time to suit you and also be at the end of the phone to assist you with any emergencies while you are away.

My love of travel started at a very young age with a car and caravan trip around Europe visiting lakes, mountains, castles and beaches in any number of European countries. At 21, I took to the skies as a Caledonian Girl before joining BA as cabin crew covering both the long haul and short haul networks. After hanging up my wings, I worked for a high street chain of travel agents and also an independent agent specialising in luxury tailor made holidays.I feel incredibly privileged to have visited so many wonderful places. My highlights include helicopter trips around Manhattan and through the Grand Canyon, flotilla sailing holidays around the Bodrum Peninsula and Croatia, a picnic in the wine lands of South Africa as well as visiting the game reserves, skiing in the Rockies and being drenched by spray at Victoria Falls. I've swum with turtles in Barbados and dolphins in Mexico, danced to reggae in Jamaica and Salsa in Cuba. I’ve played in the casinos of Monte Carlo and Las Vegas and shopped in the souks and bazaars of Dubai, Marrakech and Istanbul. I've also cruised the Med and the Caribbean. I have two special places that I return to again and again - Lindos, Rhodes and Kalkan, Turkey and the Caribbean is somewhere I frequent regularly so I do consider myself a bit of an expert on these as well as having a vast knowledge of many, many more places around the globe. I love to put together complex itineraries such as to the Far East, Australia and New Zealand, South Africa, India and Sri Lanka to name just a few of the destinations where we have expert travel partners on the ground to assist with the arranging authentic experiences.At Travel Counsellors we really are a "family". We have a team at our Head Office to support us with the commercial side of things and our administration. We 100% financially protect everything we sell and we share our knowledge.

Hello and welcome, my name is Ian Gifford, I live in Chalgrove, near Oxford with my wife Barbara. We have been here for eight years having lived and worked all over the UK. We love this location because of the friendly village community and the fantastic links to the world, with Heathrow only 40 minutes away.My dad encouraged my passion for travel from a very early age, taking me on exciting day trips to London, although I can still remember being too terrified to climb the ladder at the top of the dome of St Paul’s Cathedral!As a teenager, I just wanted to see the world. I completed cycling tours to the West Country and organised school walking tours that led to running a New Forest Youth Hostel. My early career in hospitality ensured a strong appreciation for food and wine, which included running our own hotel and restaurant, that is why I feel local food and drink is an exciting part of travel.Customer Service is part of my passion, going the extra mile, delivering the unexpected, when Covid-19 emerged I worked 24/7 to successfully repatriated all my customers from Australia, Vietnam, Philippines, Costa Rica and the Maldives, often needing to re-route and re-book as a result of restrictions that were emerging all the time. However, this is my approach even without CV-19 it is being there on the end of the phone when the customer needs me or resolving a problem before the customer is even aware. On one occasion, at 11pm, I became aware that Yosemite National Park was about to close, due to fires, my family were due to go two days later, I found alternative accommodation and then called the customer, confirming everything whist they stayed by the pool.For my business customers, I have arranged events for companies including elaborate dining in unusual locations, an amazing firework display and made sure guests got to a Champions League match when all flights were cancelled due to an airport closure. However, with business travel it is all about being available to help plan, manage changes and provide solutions so the customer can concentrate on his priorities.Identifying my favourite destinations is a challenge, however, seeing leaping Mantra Rays off the Pacific coast of Mexico was amazing, and the rustic village restaurant in Pergine Valdarno, Tuscany provided a uniquely warm feeling with other unforgettable experiences such as Samaria Gorge in Crete at dawn, skiing in powder at Verbier, Golf in the Algarve or watching a Grand Prix in Malaysia.Whether it is advising a restaurant on a client’s food allergies or organising a private tour in Rome, making sure your travel plans are exactly how you want them is vital. It is my responsibility to ensure you have first class service, before, during and following your trip.I am here to help, at times convenient to you, some of my clients have been in different time zones and I have planned calls at midnight before now, so if it is better for you to talk in the evenings or at weekends, that is fine with me. I look forward to talking with you soon.

Thank you for visiting my page, here's a little bit about me...My name is Jessica, your local Travel Counsellor. I am based in Burntwood, Staffordshire. I am a motorsports lover, mainly F1 (Formula 1) and BSB (British Superbikes), and a Disney fanatic. Travel is something I am passionate about; I have been to Majorca, France, Lanzarote and my favourite, Florida. Florida is my favourite destination because of all the theme parks, especially Disney, I was lucky to be able to go there nearly every year from the ages 1-8. As a child I saw my favourite characters being brought to life and was able to be apart of the magic myself when walking through the streets of Disney and seeing Cinderella's castle. Our family holidays to Florida really are some of my favourite memories. That being said, I still have many dream vacations left on my bucket list that I am excited to experience. I also can't wait to help you experience your dream vacations and tick them off your bucket list.Whether it's a solo adventure, romantic getaway, family holiday or a once in a lifetime opportunity, I will be here to help you with your holiday wants and needs every step of the way. I am here to take the stress away from planning and booking your holidays and knowing that all bookings are 100% ATOL protected, will hopefully add to that peace of mind. As I'm not tied to any suppliers, I can tailor your holiday to suit you and create bespoke itineraries for your dream getaway.I'm excited to help make your dream holidays a reality, where you can make fun, long-lasting memories. Have a holiday in mind? Please get in touch and we can start planning your perfect holiday.

Welcome to my webpage. I am Neil Farr, your personal Travel Counsellor, and I have been proudly creating holidays with Travel Counsellors since 2017.Based in the coastal town of Ventnor on the Isle of Wight, where I have lived since 2005, I look after clients not only on the Island but right across the UK. This March marks 33 years of working in the travel industry, during which I have built up extensive experience across many sides of the business: high street agencies, call centres, brochure production, joint venture marketing campaigns, contracting and account management both in the UK and overseas. This breadth of background means I understand how the industry works behind the scenes as well as what really matters to you as a traveller.Over the years I have been fortunate enough to visit a wide range of destinations including Australia, Bermuda, Botswana, Cambodia, Canada, Hong Kong, Jamaica, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, North America, Singapore, South Africa, Zambia, Zimbabwe and numerous European favourites closer to home. These travels have given me first-hand insight into very different styles of holiday: from wildlife and adventure to city breaks, cultural journeys and relaxing beach escapes.Some of my most memorable experiences include a game drive in South Africa in search of the Big Five, a helicopter flight over Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, staying overnight with the Long Neck Karen tribe near Chiang Rai in northern Thailand, and jet-boating around Sydney Harbour. Experiences like these remind me why travel is so powerful: every country offers its own culture, landscapes, history and individuality. It is that sense of discovery, learning and connection that I want to bring to every itinerary I create.What truly sets me apart is the way I work with you. I combine three decades of industry knowledge and destination experience with genuine personal care. I take the time to listen, understand what is important to you and then craft a holiday that reflects your interests, pace and budget. My focus is always on attention to detail, thoughtful touches and making the process as smooth and enjoyable as the trip itself.As your dedicated Travel Counsellor, I work from a platform that brings together award-winning technology with a handpicked network of trusted, quality suppliers. Your money is fully protected through the Travel Counsellors Financial Trust and ATOL, giving you complete peace of mind from the moment we start planning.I can help with almost every type of leisure trip you might be considering: dream honeymoons, special anniversaries and birthdays, family holidays, all-inclusive breaks, city escapes, tailor-made tours, river and ocean cruises, lakes and mountains, exotic island retreats and complex, multi-stop itineraries around the world. Every itinerary I build is bespoke, designed around you, and my planning service comes at no extra cost to you.I am proud that so many of my clients return to book with me year after year and kindly recommend me to their family, friends and colleagues. Many have become close friends along the way, which is exactly how I like to work: with long-term relationships built on trust, honesty and consistent service.If you are looking for expert, independent travel advice and a truly personal service, I would be delighted to help. Simply call or email me with your holiday ideas and together we can start planning a trip that you will remember for all the right reasons.

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.

Travel. Tailored by a human. Enjoyed by you. I work full-time planning travel. Let’s make sure you don’t have to. Based in London, I’ve worked in the Travel industry for over 20 years. Travel is the most enjoyable and most powerful learning tool we have as human beings. Travel enables us to learn about ourselves and the world around us. It bridges cultures, enriches lives and taking a break, however long, protects our mental health.Now for all the benefits that Travel provides, planning it properly can be confusing and stressful, and most of all TIME-CONSUMING! This is where working with a personal Travel Counsellor like me comes into its own.Travel Counsellors is a world-leading, award-winning, independent travel company offering 100% financial protection, 24/7 care whilst you are travelling and access to a community of Global travel experts, who deliver exceptional experiences, and great value to customers. We are experts in saving you time and lowering stress levels. From the minute you start researching, to when you get home. No one will put more thought and care into your travel plans than us. Booking with Travel Counsellors is not like booking with a regular travel agent - online or on the high street. Think of us more as your bank manager but for Travel, and obviously a lot more fun. Ensuring that you invest wisely, get the best value and maximise your time away. You always get to speak to a human – be that me or our wonderful support teams. There are no automated phone lines or call centres with Travel Counsellors. You speak with a human every time with your own direct line.I’ve been lucky to have travelled around the world many times over for both pleasure and business. I have lots of insights, recommendations, tips and tricks to share. If I had to pick my favourite destinations (it’s not easy) then I’d nominate Australia, South East Asia, the Far East, New York, California, Mexico, Italy and Greece.

A conversation together will help us to capture your full requirements and enable us both to ask questions. So whatever your enquiry might be, I’d be delighted to hear from you by phone, email or WhatsApp to arrange to chat – and to see where this journey takes us!

Hello and Thank you for visiting my website.My name is Carmel Curran and I live in Derry/Londonderry in NI. I am married to Mark and we have a lovely daughter Marissa.Before becoming a Travel Counsellor I worked in front-line banking for 32 years. However travel has always been my passion! For the last 40 years I have travelled the world, both as part of a couple and also as a family and becoming part of Travel Counsellors means I can bring my own personal experiences directly to my customers. My journey as a TC started in 2018 so I have been in place during the pandemic and now out the other side. This has given me a good perspective on how to make travel as safe as I can and this fits right in with Travel Counsellors ethos.As you would expect, I love to travel! I have visited most of mainland Europe and its islands, the Caribbean - Jamaica, Bahamas, Dominican Republic, Mexico as well as Egypt, Dubai and Sri Lanka. My personal favourite is South East Asia - Singapore, Bail, Cambodia, as well as lots of trips to Thailand and Malaysia. My new favourites are Hong Kong & Vietnam! I have visited New York on several occasions and I also love European city breaks. As well as personal travel, I have also made business travel arrangements.When I am travelling to any destination, I love the research, planning and booking almost as much as the travel and holiday - getting all the handy tips - its all part of the experience.I always pride myself on excellent customer service and this is what I will be bringing to you when you book any of your travel arrangements with me. Being a Travel Counsellor means I can offer independent advice on any aspect of your travel arrangements – flights, accommodation, transfers, car hire, excursions and travel insurance, as well as packaged holidays offered by all the leading travel tour operators. This means I can work directly with you to get a tailor made holiday that’s exactly right for you.So let me take the stress out of booking your next trip or holiday.

Hello and thank you for taking the time to visit my web page, I’m Lauren from Sheffield and I work as a full time travel consultant from home. I have studied Travel & Tourism for 2 years at college and then went on to university for another 3 years to obtain my foundation degree in tourism and event management, since then I’ve worked as a travel consultant for 7 years dividing my time between both leisure and corporate travel. I regularly travel so please feel free to follow my blogs with the latest places, foods, hotels, attractions and architecture that I have encountered. If you would like any details on where I have been please feel free to ask me and I would be delighted to give you recommendations and forward you a quotation. Being an independent Travel Counsellor entitles me to use such a wide variety of suppliers, enabling me to meet the needs of each customer that I come in to contact with. I’m experienced in such a variety of travel planning and I know that given the opportunity I would be able to surpass your requirements. I have experience in booking both long and short haul travel, ensuring that my customer’s expectations are exceeded, whether this is for business or leisure, each customer has different budgets, goals and outcomes for the journey. The service that I can offer is friendly, professional, 100% financially protected and ATOL bonded. If you would like more information you can contact me in various ways and we can have a consultation to speak about what holiday you would like and how I can meet your requirements.

Please have a look through my customers testimonials and contact me should you need any further information. I look forward to speaking with you! Lauren

Thank you for stopping by! It's Oscar here, your personal Travel Counsellor from Chichester, West Sussex, but I can also provide travel advice, recommendations and inspiration to you regardless of which corner of the planet you find yourself in!I am enthusiastic about everything I do, and I bring that enthusiasm with me when planning and curating dream travel itineraries for my cherished clients. I specialise in bespoke luxury travel arrangements and ensure that my clients receive travel suggestions that are personalised to their likes, dislikes and preferences, and those of their travelling party. I get to know my clients on a far more personal basis than traditional travel providers such as online booking sites, tour operators, and high street travel agents would ever bother to do. Get in touch to find out the methods to my madness...!Whilst tailored luxury travel arrangements may be my speciality, I channel my passion and enthusiasm into helping clients book a variety of travel options. From your all-inclusive resort holidays, to simply adding on another hotel stay to an existing holiday or even month-long expeditions across the North Pole, I've got you covered and make absolutely sure that every aspect of your itinerary is right for you. Some call me the Goldilocks of travel, ensuring everything is just right, but don't feel obliged to follow suit..!"So how exactly is that possible?" I hear you ask. Well, the answer is very simple. Being part of the award-winning Travel Counsellors community gives me access to over 2000 destination experts so, when there's a gap in my knowledge, I will still always be able to provide you with local suggestions from people who have first-hand experience of that location in the click of a finger. Combine that with a best-in-class tools-and-tech system, a behind-the-scenes support team who are on hand to assist 24-7 with rapid responses wherever you find yourself, a marketing department that enables me to share with you the latest travel deals, offers and travel updates the moment they are released, and access to thousands of trade-only suppliers who provide the best rates and travel opportunities that you may not have even known existed, and you find yourself a travel guru that can turn your dream trips and holidays into reality.Do you find yourself still wanting more?! Well fortunately for you, Oliver Twist, there is more!! My clients benefit from a multitude of other offerings that come as standard including low deposit payments, full financial protection from ATOL licensing and the Travel Counsellors Trust alongside other forms of financial security, and convenient communication channels, as well as saving time that would otherwise be spent with your nose in front of a computer endlessly researching your next holiday destination. So join my clients and start booking your travel the right way.Why choose me specifically? Great question. Apart from my unwavering enthusiasm and attention to the finest details, I am a sucker for exploring different cultures and have not only been fortunate enough to have visited some amazing destinations including Thailand, the Caribbean, Mexico, the USA and even the Galapagos Islands, but I have also spent time living in various places such as Marbella, Barcelona, Tenerife (hablo Español!), the French Alps, and Finnish Lapland in the height of winter where temperatures dropped as low as -35°C! On top of that, I have spent the majority of my adult life working in luxury hotels such as The Ritz-Carlton, Marriott's luxury-lifestyle brand, The Edition, and the massively up-and-coming Sani Ikos chain. So it's fair to say I know pretty well what's possible when it comes to hotel stays and can give insider recommendations to clients looking into booking a luxury hotel as part of their travel itinerary.If you think I can be of assistance for an upcoming holiday, I'd love to hear from you! Thank you again for visiting my page and I hope to speak soon!

Hi there and thank you for taking the time to visit my webpage.My name is Julie and like many of my fellow TC's, travel is my primary interest and passion in life and has been for as long as I can remember. If I had to choose my favourite country then it has to be Spain. I just adore Spain, which I think started from my childhood from the fabulous family holidays we had but then I went on to study Spanish at School, College and then University where I spent each summer working a full season in the gorgeous sunshine. My Uni Placement was in a Spanish Travel Agency and then my first job after Uni was with Iberia Airlines where I spent 3.5 fabulous year and my career had only just begun. Fortunately for me, my parents have an apartment on the South Coast, so I get to spend a lot of time in Andalucia. Aside from Spain, I am a big skier and have had the pleasure of skiing in the Alps, Pyrenees, Sierra Nevada, Milky Way. I haven’t just restricted myself to Europe, I have been to various US States, UAE, Mauritius, Seychelles, Malaysia, Vietnam, South Africa & the Caribbean.I love a good City Break, a beach holiday, a touring holiday, winter break, a cruise – you name it, I love it. Pinch me trips for meare always my ski trips but I loved Lapland and still get goosebumps from the South African Safari. I have a team I work with here at Travel Counsellors who all specialise in different countries and products, so no matter what your dream is for your next trip, please do speak to me, so I can make sure they come true. You will also have peace of mind knowing that you have the security of booking via a reputable company like Travel Counsellors who are there for you pre trip, during and post trip and more importantly around the clock when anything unpredicatble happens.

With almost 40 years in the travel industry and personal journeys to 58 countries, I bring a depth of experience that only time, curiosity and genuine passion can create. Over the decades I have seen how travel has evolved, and I firmly believe that the most meaningful trips are those that are carefully crafted around you and that leave a positive footprint on the places you visit.Some of my favourite places in the world are South America, Italy and Vietnam, where vibrant cultures, unforgettable food and beautiful landscapes come together so effortlessly. I also have extensive first‑hand knowledge of New Zealand, India and Japan from designing some truly incredible itineraries for my clients, from epic road trips and rail journeys to in‑depth cultural adventures.I specialise in designing bespoke itineraries that go far beyond the standard brochure: trips that reflect your interests, your pace and your dreams.

For me, it is about more than just ticking the “sustainable” box. It is about taking care of both people and planet, choosing experiences and partners that respect local communities, culture and the environment. I believe the best travel memories come from genuine interactions: sharing stories with a local guide, tasting home‑cooked food, supporting small independent businesses, and returning home knowing your visit has had a positive impact.When you travel with me as your dedicated Travel Counsellor, you are not just booking a holiday. You are gaining a trusted expert who listens, advises and supports you every step of the way, using decades of knowledge to create a journey that is uniquely yours.I am looking forward to getting to know you and planning your perfect trip.

Hi, I’m Gemma and my role is to match people with places. I'll take the time to thoughtfully create a trip that’s tailored to you, your family and/or friends, leaving you free to concentrate on making memories!Every trip I plan is different but the highlights include family trips to South-East Asia which is an adventurous, (and good value) alternative to Europe, active trips to Norway (one of my personal top countries to visit), and Sri Lanka because I love sharing the insight I gained from an agent trip there in 2025! I’ve appreciated the value of travel since my very first job as a receptionist at the YHA on Oxford Street in London, where I loved meeting people who were travelling for every possible reason! Since then, I’ve enjoyed relaxing holidays as a break from corporate life, been lucky enough to experience the luxury of a first class flight to New York whilst working for British Airways, heard the unforgettable roar of lions on safari, and had fun with my 3 children marvelling at the freedom of a resort, the magic of a private swimming pool and the thrill of a zipline through the rainforest in Costa Rica! I'm passionate about travel bringing joy and being a force for good in building connections, seeing new perspectives and even improving cultural understanding. It’s a privilege to help people see the world, find their ‘wow’ moments, and enjoy something special.Being part of Travel Counsellors gives me the independence to choose what suits you best from hundreds of different destinations, hotels and experiences, provided by trusted suppliers, and gives you financial security and 24-hour support if anything should not go to plan whilst you are away. My style is professional and friendly and I work in partnership with clients. I understand how it is important it is for you to make the most of your precious time and resources and I'm here to help find the holiday that's right for you. I look forward to hearing from you.

Travel has always been so much more to me than simply getting from A to B. It is the thread that runs through my life: the thing I work for, dream about and always have on the horizon. I am a passionate believer in the power of “the next trip” to bring joy, connection and something truly special to look forward to. For families, I also see travel as one of the most enriching forms of education for children: a way to open their eyes to different cultures, wildlife, history and landscapes in a way no classroom ever could.As an independent Travel Counsellor, my clients are at the heart of everything I do. I offer a highly personal, concierge-style service: from private transfers and handpicked hotels to immersive experiences and those thoughtful touches that make a holiday feel truly “yours”. Whether you are dreaming of, I take time to understand what matters most to you and design every detail around that.I know that luxury means something different to every person. For some it is barefoot time together on a white-sand beach, for others a meticulously planned family adventure, a once-in-a-lifetime honeymoon, an intimate wine-tasting escape, an exclusive safari or a restorative break after a demanding year. Whatever it means to you, my role is to remove the stress and complexity of planning and to curate journeys that feel effortless, personalised and unforgettable.My own travels began in South Africa, where countless safaris and wine tours sparked a lifelong love of nature, wildlife and wide-open spaces. Since then I have explored much of the world: from the snowy slopes of Scotland and the timeless pyramids of Egypt, to the landscapes of Italy and Portugal, the forests and temples of Bali, the magic of Walt Disney World, and vibrant cities across Europe, Russia and beyond. I have a particular soft spot for islands and beaches, with favourites including Zanzibar, Mauritius, Hawaii, and the Maldives.I am also an avid scuba diver and snorkeller, and some of my most cherished memories are in or under the water: coming face to face with a whale shark in the Red Sea, listening to dolphins in the waters around Zanzibar, drifting alongside green turtles off the coast of Maui, and witnessing the magical glow of bioluminescence on a night-time experience in Tobago. These encounters give me a deep appreciation of how powerful travel can be, and I bring that same sense of wonder to the itineraries I create for my clients.From our first conversation to the moment you return home, I am on hand to guide, support and inspire you, with help just a call or message away while you are away.I would be delighted to work with you to design your next luxury escape and create travel memories you and your family will treasure for years to come.

Hi, I'm Sarah. I live in Widnes, Cheshire, with my husband and the youngest of our adult children.Travel has been my obsession since 1992, when 20‑year‑old me and my future husband took our first independent trip abroad: across the Atlantic to Florida. Instantly hooked on travelling, we quickly followed this with holidays to Mexico, Thailand and a Grand Tour of Italy, and we have visited over 40 different countries together since.I love travel because of the awesome experiences it can offer: walking on the Nigardsbreen Glacier in Norway; riding Flight of Passage in Walt Disney World; joining the pilgrims in Lhasa's Jokhang Temple; following the Iguaçu Falls trail in Brazil: all moments etched into my memory forever.In 2017, after 25 years successfully organising our own adventures, I started a new chapter in life by joining Travel Counsellors. Now, as a full-time travel professional, my mission is to share my knowledge and expertise to help you go beyond the average holiday and embark on extraordinary journeys, creating your own cherished memories.I specialise in putting together personalised touring holidays to all corners of the planet. I go beyond the basics of flights and accommodation to create complete itineraries that incorporate not‑to‑be‑missed attractions and under‑the‑radar experiences, all underpinned by my detailed pre‑travel advice and in‑resort support.Since that first trip in 1992 I have visited Orlando many times, and it is safe to say that I have become a Disney fanatic! I know the parks like the back of my hand, and I have lots of insider information and tricks to share. As part of my service, I provide a personalised day‑to‑day plan which helps minimise queuing and turns what could be an overwhelming holiday into the most enjoyable and memorable trip ever.As a Travel Counsellor, I manage my own business from home, so you have direct access to me at a time to suit you.

My name is Emma and I am a friendly, dedicated Travel Counsellor based in South London. On completion of my university degree I decided to set off on an adventure and explore the world solo, before moving to London to begin my professional journey in travel. Fast forward 10 years and I’ve built myself a successful and fulfilling career in the travel industry. I am so grateful for the opportunities this line of work has given me, and that my expertise has enhanced other people’s travel experiences; It is incredible that I’ve been able to form a profession from what I love doing most in the world. My career thus far has had numerous highlights, including earning my spot on tons of incentive trips all over the world, and winning multiple performance based awards. Having worked in various roles, including management, I have gained insight into the process, product and customer service aspects of the industry. I definitely attribute my success to my underlying passion for travel and learning, but also my love of talking to people and forming relationships - many of my customers feel like friends and being sent holidays snaps from their trips never fails to make me smile.I’ve personally travelled to 47 countries across 6 continents (just Antarctica to get to!) and have specialised in Asia, North & Latin America, the Middle East and Africa, but feel confident that I can tailor the perfect trip in any destination worldwide. I have experience in booking a wide variety of customers, from corporate clients to backpackers, honeymooners to family holidays, and city breaks to long awaited trips of a lifetime. Speaking of corporate clients, I have numerous business accounts within the Media space, assisting with travel for TV and production purposes. I have experience in dealing with VIP/high profile individuals/Influencers and organising large groups; projects so far include Searching for Mexico with Eva Longoria, TOWIE’s season in the Caribbean, and multiple docuseries.As a Travel Counsellor I can’t wait to assist you in all your travel needs (flights, transfers, accommodations, cruises, tours, car hire) whatever they may be. I can be available outside of working hours so as to fit in with your schedules, and am also always happy to meet in person and holiday plan over a coffee (on me) if you’d prefer this to phone/email. I am so excited to hear from yourselves, your families and friends, and am looking forward to creating itineraries that will surpass your expectations and keep our working relationship going for years to come.

I absolutely love the travel business and take pride in going the extra mile for my clients.Travel has always been a passion of mine and being a Travel Counsellor means I meet people every day who share that same passion. This is why my customers often become my friends. One of the many reasons why I love what I do.I’ve been very lucky to have had some amazing holiday experiences from shopping & Broadway shows in New York, whale watching and wine tasting in South Africa, Hong Kong's Temple Street night market to island hopping in Greece. I know first-hand how important it is to have a wonderful holiday and make memories to last a lifetime. This is where I come in, with over 16 years’ experience working in the travel industry, I pride myself on ensuring I provide honest independent advice. There is no need for you to spend your time calling around for quotes or trawling the web, I do all the work for you. So all you need to do is pack your case and have a wonderful time.Working from home means I am available at a time that suits you, days, nights or weekends. You can contact me by email, telephone or even face to face if you prefer.“20 years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did.

Hi, I’m Fergus! I’ve worked in travel for over nine years, turning my lifelong love of exploring the world into a career that lets me help others plan truly unforgettable trips. Originally from Northern Ireland – which will always have my heart – I now help clients across the UK and beyond create holidays and travel experiences that fit them perfectly. I specialise in tailor-made holidays and diving adventures, with a particular passion for South East Asia – especially the Philippines, where I’ve explored some of the most stunning dive sites on the planet. I’ve also travelled extensively through Thailand, Mexico, Egypt, North America, and the Caribbean, so I’m always happy to share first-hand tips and recommendations. Alongside leisure travel, I also look after corporate clients, ensuring their business travel is smooth, efficient, and stress-free. From coordinating complex itineraries to managing last-minute changes, I pride myself on providing clear communication and fast, reliable solutions. My corporate clients often tell me they value my thoroughness, approachability, and the confidence that everything is handled professionally. As a few of my clients have kindly said, “Fergus always finds time to listen and respond efficiently,” “he makes the whole process smooth and clearly communicated,” and “he’s very knowledgeable and always able to provide a solution.” Those words mean the world to me because they capture exactly what I aim for with every booking – friendly, professional service with a personal touch. Whether you’re planning a luxury beach break, an adventurous dive trip, or managing business travel for your team, I’d love to help make your journey effortless from start to finish.

Hi everyone, Welcome to my page! My name is Gaynor, and I live in Southampton, Hampshire with my husband, Paul !.From an early age, travel has always been a passion of mine, and whilst I started my working life in Retail, Travel was always a big part of my life - I was always the one out of my girlfriends to look for holidays, the one my parents turned to for 'where shall we go this year' advice, and then latterly the natural choice once I had a family with, 'Mum, can we go here?? ...' So imagine how lucky I felt when I was able to follow my heart, and I now have over 25 years' experience in the Travel Industry, with visits to over 60 countries and destinations! We're not meant to stay in one place, are we?....... Being able to travel and experience things beyond the 'everyday' is exciting - can be challenging - but ultimately fulfilling. We all dream of feeling the warm air on our face as soon as we step out of the plane, or that first step onto the beach feeling the sand in our toes, or the smells and tastes we associate with being on holiday and trying something for the very first time.......Which is where I can help - I can apply all my years of 'experiences' and help you fulfil yours, be it a fun-filled action-packed weekend break in that city you've always wanted to visit, a recharging break at a Spa or country retreat, that longed-for Beach or Cruise getaway, or even to tick off a 'bucket list' trip, I'm here, and I can make all those dreams of finding new places to explore, and new people and cultures to experience, become a reality. I will look after you from your initial enquiry stage to your return, every step of the way, ensuring the worry, stress and time spent trawling through endless confusing and unfriendly websites becomes a thing of the past !I'm also lucky to be part of an award-winning company that has shown how, and what it means to look after it's clients - we didn't come Top of a recent MoneySavingExpert Poll for nothing! Your money is safe with us - it's 100% financially protected in our Trust, along with ATOL Protection, and a flexible booking policy.You can also forget about long call centre queues, as you have a direct link straight through to me, 24/7, either phone, email or Social Media. I work from home, so I'm available when it suits you, so I guess you can refer to me as your very own Travel Concierge ! So, please drop a line when you're ready - I can't wait to hear from you !" A Ship In a Harbour Is Safe, But That's Not What Ships Are Made For......" John. A. Shed

Whether you are planning a chic city break, family getaway, honeymoon escape or once in a lifetime adventure I am here to make the whole experience seamless.I pride myself on offering genuine advice you can trust every time. No matter how big or small, I always manage your trip with the same attention to detail as I would my own. Through the years I have built up a 'little black book' of hotel, supplier and airline connections, all my contacts are invaluable when offering my clients that extra VIP touch or requesting that room with the best view.I have been a travel agent for over 20 years, but my real passion for travel started as a child. Before my five siblings and I were born, my parents travelled extensively. I can remember sitting for hours flicking through the enormous photo albums from their travels throughout Europe and on to Asia. Maybe it was the glamour of the 70s VW Camper set into the Italian Alps, or my parents in their matching Ray-Ban’s at the top of the Great Wall... either way, I was hooked and couldn’t wait to travel the world myself!I joined the industry as an apprentice in a high street Thomas Cook store in Sussex. Within two years I was working in their City of London flagship store where I won a Customer Service Award. After five years at Thomas Cook I took the leap into an independent leisure and business travel agency in Blackfriars - they were later acquired by an American travel management company. Here I ran the Luxury Leisure department, where I booked tailor-made leisure and business trips till I left five years later. During this time, I took the opportunity to work from the New York head office to expand on my global knowledge. Prior to starting my business I worked in Roadshow, Events & Marketing roles across different financial services sectors in the City of London. As well as time spent at a boutique hotel specialist and luxury villa agent.I can’t wait to help plan your next adventure, whether that’s a hopper flight to Dublin for business or a round the world cruise, you can rest assured you are 100% financially protected through Travel Counsellors Financial Trust and ATOL.I am contactable 24/7 so please do pick up the phone or drop me a message to chat over ideas and inspiration for your next trip. I have extensive destination knowledge Worldwide, although consider my specialist areas as North America, Italy, the Greek Islands and most of Europe - having travelled extensively here.“A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.” - Lao TzuLook forward to chatting to you soon!

I have also managed a villa in Menorca for the last ten years.After 6 years at a boutique M&A Corporate Finance firm in the City, I had a hankering to return to my roots, so I set up Lula Travel.

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.

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. Tell me again how you book your travel arrangements? Once you’ve experienced Travel Counsellors, you will really wonder why you hadn’t done it sooner. Bon voyage!

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

I’m Sophie, a passionate traveller, mum of two, and your go-to for stress-free, tailor-made holidays.Travel has always been a huge part of my life, and over the years my style has evolved. I still love a bit of sunshine, but I’m just as drawn to adventure, culture and those trips that really mean something. From magical winters in the Alps, to summer escapes with my family, luxury downtime in Dubai, exploring Mexico’s culture and rustic beaches, or soaking up Mallorca’s coastline! Whether it’s a family getaway, a honeymoon, a girls’ trip, a special birthday, or simply some well-earned sunshine, I believe every holiday should feel effortless and exciting from the start.Living in East Hertfordshire, I understand how precious time away is in the busy world we all live in. Holidays aren’t just trips, they’re memories. That’s why I focus on creating tailor-made experiences that fit you.I work proactively, thinking ahead and taking the hassle out of the process so you don’t have to spend hours researching or worrying about the details. And when you book with me, you get more than just a holiday, you get the added security of financial protection and personal support from start to finish. If anything unexpected happens, I’m right here to sort it.Thinking about your next trip? Let’s chat over the phone, or over a coffee if you’re local – and turn those ideas into reality.

Hello and thank you for visiting my webpage.Many local people will already know me as for over twenty-five years I have worked for major high street travel agencies.I have recently enrolled with Travel Counsellors which will offer full financial protection for your holidays. I have been passionate about travel since my first trip to Belgium, which was a day trip on the ferry from Ramsgate in 1968. How things have changed!Since that first memorable trip, I have been lucky enough to travel extensively to Europe, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Singapore, Bali, Malaysia, Thailand as well as several visits to the Caribbean including Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Barbados, Cuba and St Lucia.I have participated and completed specialist destination training for Australia, Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Canada as well as Sandals hotels in the Caribbean.I have also participated and completed training for the Heart of England Tourist Board and also how to source holidays for anyone with special needs.Among my favourite destinations are Austria (where I worked for six months) Egypt and Cuba. Austria is superb both summer and winter, Egypt is great for snorkelling and diving and Cuba has a wonderful culture and history.However, one of the highlights of a recent holiday in Malaysia was visiting the Yayasan Pulau Orang Utan Island a conservation project for Orang Utan established 14 years ago and not as well known as some other conservation programmes. I believe in great customer service and will be happy to look at any enquiries from a Spa day in the UK to around the world itinerary.I look forward to hearing from you soon.Jill

Hello there… Thanks for visiting the Travel Counsellors website and my page in particular. I found this Portuguese proverb the other day and it made me laugh - “When the boss is away, work becomes a holiday” - Well, that sorts out a few weeks of the year but what about when it’s your turn for a holiday? I’ve been a Travel Consultant for many years; and before that I trained and worked in hotel management so I understand that travel and holidays are thrilling purchases, and yet can be tinged with a tad of apprehension – have you chosen the right destination? Will it stand up to the glossy pictures? Will it be a good investment and provide you with happy memories for years to come? I can honestly say that by booking through me, with all the knowledge and expertise that I can tap into; we can get you just the holiday you want from package deals to tailor made travels. I absolutely love travelling and holidaying, so I’ve got plenty of personal information to help you make an educated decision as to where and how to spend your hard earned holiday time. Here are my top favourites: Las Vegas - love the adrenalin rush at the tables Dubai - breathtakingly opulent Barbados - for ultimate relaxation Key West - warm welcomes await and Key Lime Pie to die for What are yours I wonder? Let’s have a chat and sort out some great destinations, sights and experiences for you? I’m local to South Cheshire – and because I have independent status I’m on call to answer your queries whenever you need me – at home, or on your travels. It won’t be long before you are having the time of your life on holiday. I wonder if the boss will miss you…? I can also arrange all your holiday extras including travel insurance, foreign exchange, airport parking and transfers.

Hi, I’m Cara - your personal Travel Counsellor based in Nelson, Lancashire.I’m what’s known in Thailand as a Luk Krueng - half Thai. Growing up in a working-class town in England in the mid-80s, that certainly made me stand out. But for me, jumping on a plane to my mother’s wooden stilt family home deep in the Thai jungle was simply part of childhood. Those early adventures sparked a lifelong love of travel that eventually became my career.My first trip to Thailand in 1987 even made the local headlines, and since then I’ve returned more than 30 times - including four years living there while teaching English. My travels have taken me across Asia and far beyond: journeying up Mount Fuji in Japan with my sister and Japanese brother-in-law, exploring the awe-inspiring temples of Angkor in Cambodia, discovering the beautiful islands of the Philippines, and sleeping under the stars in the Dubai desert.Other highlights include cruising through Alaska (with a close-up grizzly bear encounter!), road-tripping through the Canadian Rockies, snowmobiling across Icelandic glaciers, and watching the Milky Way appear above us during a safari game drive in South Africa.With nearly 25 years’ experience in long-haul leisure travel, I bring a wealth of knowledge and first-hand experience to the holidays I create. I’ve travelled extensively with leading airlines such as Qatar Airways, Singapore Airlines and Emirates in both Economy and Business Class, and stayed in some exceptional hotels around the world - including the famous Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi.My role is simple: to take away the stress (and hours!) of searching the internet or queuing in travel agencies. Instead, I’ll design a holiday tailored completely to you, with the kind of personal service you simply won’t find on the High Street. Whether it’s a special anniversary, honeymoon, or a once-in-a-lifetime trip, I’ll make sure every detail is just right. I’m also very fussy on behalf of my clients - if something isn’t good enough, it simply doesn’t make the cut.I love creating trips so vividly that I can picture the whole journey myself. (Don’t worry - I promise I won’t sneak onto your flight or turn up at your hotel pool with a lilo in hand!) But I will be here if you need anything while you’re away, and I’ll be just as excited to hear your highlights when you return.And because life doesn’t always happen between 9-5, I’m available evenings and weekends too. Whether by email or phone, we can chat in whatever way suits you best.I look forward to having a good natter and helping you plan your next adventure.
