0161 329 7001Hi, I’m George - based in Radcliffe, Manchester, living with my husband Chris and our dog Luna. I’ve spent the past 24 years in the travel industry, starting with Going Places back in June 2002, then merging with Thomas Cook, and now running my own business with Travel Counsellors since 2019. This isn’t something I do on the side - this is what I do, properly, every single day. Here’s the reality… Anyone can click a button and book a holiday. But when something changes, when prices move overnight, when flights are altered, when you need real advice -that’s where I come in. I don’t just “book holidays”. I manage the entire experience from start to finish. I take your ideas, your budget, your must-haves… and turn them into something that actually works. No guesswork, no endless scrolling, no risk. You get: A completely tailor-made holiday built around you Honest advice based on real experience, not sales targets Full support before, during and after your trip Access to systems, suppliers and flexibility you won’t find online 100% Financial Protection for total peace of mind And most importantly - you get me. Someone who will answer your messages, sort problems, chase suppliers, and go the extra mile without you even having to ask. Want to sit down and plan it properly? We can do that. Prefer everything done for you? Leave it with me. From luxury escapes and cruises to big family trips, honeymoons, weddings and once-in-a-lifetime itineraries - I make it simple, seamless and stress-free. This is personal travel, done properly. If you want your next holiday handled the right way, I’d love to help. Cheers George P.S. “It’s better to see something once than hear about it a thousand times.” -

01273272775I have a 30 year career in the travel industry and a true passion to make sure my clients always have a wonderful and memorable experience. We are all different and how we enjoy our holidays is very different too. Some people love adventure and prefer to get off the beaten track but others like to know they can experience new countries and cultures safe in the knowledge everything is perfectly organised before they leave. Some holidays are for relaxing on a beach and others are adrenalin filled, of course many are a mix of the two and more. I tailor all holidays to the client to ensure it is right for them. Most holidays are good, its time away from the stresses of daily life and spending quality time with those we care about, but I think it is about making sure that holiday time is the very best it can be. Advancement in technology has encouraged us all to spend hours online looking at websites hoping to see the perfect option, but can this ever really compare to working with an expert who does this every day? I am lucky enough to have visited 75 countries and work in partnership with 1000’s of colleagues who have travelled extensively too, I offer real advice and experience. There is no call centre here, you only ever need to contact me and I am available pretty much 24/7. Travel Counsellors also gives your investment the highest level of financial protection in the industry so your money is always safe. If it is time for your next trip please contact me and let’s make it happen……. -

I’ve qualified for both the Australian specialist and Canada specialist programs so you can be sure you are speaking to an expert. My customer service focused approach has led to many satisfied leisure and corporate clients over the years. I’ve lived in Edinburgh for over 20 years now, and am lucky to do so with my 10 year-old and 8 year old daughters.

I have been fortunate to have travelled extensively throughout Europe, Asia, Africa, North and South America, and I have lived and worked in both Australia and New Zealand for almost two years.

From my varied travel experiences I know what makes a great holiday and can make that journey special for you too. From extra space on long haul flights to room upgrades, or even a table at an “unbookable” signature restaurant, I’m here to help! I have expert knowledge in the premium cabins of all major airlines and have been very lucky to fly business class with Emirates, Etihad, Qatar, Cathay Pacific, Air New Zealand and British Airways, as well as numerous others in economy and premium economy. So, I’m well placed to give advice on the nuances of seating product, plane types and routes. It is these small details that often can make all the difference.

0845 058 7145Hi, my name is Gaynor Pickard, I am a personal Travel Counsellor based in Southport. Travel is a huge part of my life, it's my passion and has been since a young age. I have worked in the travel industry for 38 years and I have an array of travel qualifications, including a postgraduate diploma in tourism from Manchester Polytechnic (1990). I can bring a wealth of experience in helping you plan the right holiday, wherever in the world that might be. I have a great library of maps and books that you are welcome to borrow at any time, or even to take away with you on your trip. I pride myself on excellent customer service and a commitment to finding the perfect holiday for you. The unique concept of having your own personal Travel Counsellor means fulfilment of your plans whatever they may be. You can call me from the comfort of your home or I can visit you to discuss your travel requirements, safe in the knowledge that you will be receiving the very best service. At Travel Counsellors we are not biased to any product, unlike the High Street travel agents who have all suffered recently due to vertical integration, redundancies, and the necessity of having to employ inexperienced staff due to the cut throat nature of this industry. Although I specialise in cruising, group skiing holidays, specialist family holidays with excellent childcare (I have 3 children of my own) and round-the-world tailor made itineraries, I have travelled extensively and can advise on any type of travel, be it a white water rafting trip on the Colorado River, Lapland for all the family, a convention in Hong Kong, a special once in a lifetime trip to Disneyworld, a honeymoon to Mauritius, wildlife viewing in the Galapagos Islands, swimming with dolphins in Bermuda or even flight-seeing over the Antarctic - I do it all ! Whatever your travel plans are, give me a call or email me and I will be more than happy to assist. With Travel Counsellors' purchasing power, for totally independent and unbiased advice, and outstanding prices, please contact me today. Thank you for your time. -

0121 667 9540I’m Michelle, and I believe travel has the most meaning when it’s created around you and your individual interests. My goal is simple: to inspire and guide you to travel the world safely, protecting every penny you spend with Travel Counsellors UK. I provide exceptional service, genuine care, and meticulous attention to detail. I’ll go the extra mile to make sure you have the best holiday experience possible. No longer will you need to trawl through brochures or spend hours online second-guessing your choices. I take the time to listen to your requirements, offer new ideas and impartial advice, and tailor everything to suit your budget. In 2019, I was proud to achieve GOLD Travel Counsellor status—a recognition that reflects how many happy clients I’ve helped. Even more special was receiving the award on a reward trip in beautiful Mauritius, one of the proudest moments of my career. With a professional Travel & Tourism qualification and over 20 years’ experience in the industry (including Thomson, Co-Op Travel, and now Travel Counsellors), I’ve travelled extensively across the USA, Africa, India, Caribbean, Mexico, Dubai, Switzerland, the Italian Lakes, France, and many European cities, beaches, and cruise destinations. This global knowledge means I can guide you to the perfect destination for you, your family, and friends. The most common question I’m asked: what do you charge? The answer is simple: nothing. My planning, care, and advice are free. I’m paid directly by travel suppliers when you travel. While I don’t discount (if the lowest price is your only priority, we may not be the right fit), I add value by finding the best options, upgrades, timings, and hidden gems others may miss. Every booking with me is 100% financially protected by ATOL and the Travel Counsellors Trust, giving you complete peace of mind. Every hotel and supplier I recommend is vetted—and then reviewed again by me, with my famously fussy standards! All you need to do is call or email from the comfort of your home or office, and we can start planning. Whether it’s a weekend city break, winter sun, a family holiday, safari, tailored long-haul adventure, or a cruise—I’d love to help. The world is your oyster, and I’d be delighted to make your next journey unforgettable. Michelle -

07891 161657 | 01983 855018Welcome 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. -

01208 809190Thailand Specialist Thailand is not just somewhere I send my clients. It is my second home. I have been continuously connected with Thailand for over 37 years. In the 1990s I lived on Koh Samui and Koh Phangan for seven years, where I owned a travel agency and, for a time, had the only telephone for 5 kilometres in any direction. Those early days gave me an intimate insight into the islands long before they became the destinations they are today. For more than 25 years I have been married to a Thai national, which means my relationship with Thailand is deeply rooted in family, community and culture. I have spent countless hours in local homes, markets, temples and villages, far beyond the usual tourist trail. My understanding of Thailand goes way beyond hotel brochures and guidebooks. Within the Travel Counsellors community, I am recognised as a Thailand Expert, and I regularly support fellow Travel Counsellors with their more complex or challenging Thailand enquiries. If other professionals trust me with their Thailand questions, you can feel confident placing your own trip in my hands. Thailand, Tailored Around You Because of this long and genuine connection, I can help you experience Thailand in a way that feels personal and authentic: • Island escapes in places I have actually lived and worked, such as Koh Samui and Koh Phangan • Thoughtfully paced itineraries that blend well known highlights with quieter, lesser known corners • Immersive cultural experiences that respect local communities and traditions • Family friendly holidays shaped by real understanding of travelling with children • Romantic getaways and special celebrations in truly memorable settings • Multi centre trips combining city, jungle and beach with seamless logistics I listen carefully to what matters most to you, then design a journey that reflects your style and interests, rather than a one size fits all package. Why Trust Me With Your Thailand Plans? My Thailand expertise is not theoretical, it is lived: • 37+ years of continuous personal connection with Thailand • 7 years living and running a travel agency on Koh Samui and Koh Phangan • 25+ years of marriage into a Thai family and deep immersion in Thai life • Regular ongoing visits to keep up to date with changes, new openings and hidden gems • A reputation within Travel Counsellors as a go to Thailand specialist You benefit from my contacts, my cultural understanding and my ability to anticipate what will really work for you once you are on the ground. Ready To Plan Your Thailand Journey? Whether it is your first visit to Thailand or your tenth, I can create a journey that feels special, effortless and truly personal. If you are even half thinking about Thailand, I would love to chat through your ideas and share some tailored suggestions. Get in touch today to start planning your Thailand adventure with a true specialist. Message, call or email me with your preferred dates, who is travelling and the kind of experiences you are dreaming of, and I will design a Thailand itinerary just for you. Beyond Thailand Although Thailand is a true speciality, my expertise spans the globe, including visits in 2025 to the Philippines and Sri Lanka. I tailor make single and multi destination itineraries and can bring together multiple components into one seamless experience, including: • Economy, Premium, Business and First Class flights for leisure or business travel • Private jet charters from airports convenient to you • Ocean, river and expedition cruises • Luxury rail journeys • Safaris and wildlife focused itineraries that respect animal welfare • Lapland and Northern Lights adventures • Group travel and corporate incentive rewards • British & Irish Lions rugby tours • And many more curated, one of a kind experiences -

0203 977 8790Hi there, my name is Cheryldene - but you can call me Cheryl! I’ve been in the travel industry since I was 17, starting out at a former major high street travel agency, where I quickly realised that travel wasn’t just a job, it was my calling. Since then, I’ve worked across a range of roles, from call centres to shopfronts, gaining a deep understanding of travel planning, customer service, and the importance of getting every detail just right. As my career evolved, I found my passion in luxury travel, discovering that luxury means something different to everyone, and that TRUST means everything. I’ve worked with high-net-worth individuals, global financial institutions and airline partners, arranging everything from first-class flights and private jets to bespoke leisure experiences across the world. I’ve had the privilege of visiting destinations such as Mauritius, Dubai, Thailand, Jamaica, Barbados, Indonesia and Singapore - and I bring that first hand insight into every itinerary I design. Whether you're after flights, hotels, full holiday packages, immersive experiences, or custom tours, I’m here to support you every step of the way - from your first enquiry to your safe return home.

01903 867 250Hello, I’m Anita and I am your personal Travel Counsellor based in Worthing in West Sussex. I have lived in Worthing all my life and have been married to my husband for 40+ years. It has been a lovely place to bring up our 2 children, living very near the sea but with the South Downs as a beautiful backdrop. Our children have long since flown the nest and now I'm pursuing my dream and loving working within the travel industry. Travel is my passion and for as long as I can remember, studying travel brochures has been my hobby. At the age of 13, I travelled all over France with my parents and from then, the travel bug got me! My husband and I have travelled very extensively in Europe and the Mediterranean and have visited many, many countries including, Spain & The Balearics, The Canaries, France including Corsica & Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Germany, Greece & The Greek Islands, Croatia, Italy, Malta, Gibraltar, Turkey, Egypt, Israel and Iceland. Particular favourites have to be Valencia where we experienced Las Fallas, Menorca for a peaceful relaxing break, Crete for 2 weeks of the friendliest, most hospitable fun in the sun and Iceland for something totally different! Most recently, cruises have also become a favourite, loving being pampered and waking up somewhere different every day! Having cruised with many different Cruise Lines there are opportunities for so many unique experiences. In one way or another my entire working life has revolved around customer service, having been a Building Society branch manageress, worked in the event industry and owned my own Cafe. Giving my customers the best possible service is something that I have always prided myself upon and am very passionate about. So no matter what part of the country you live in and whether you are looking to book a short City break, a round the world cruise or anything in between, I can assure you that with the support of Travel Counsellors and their unique 100% Financial Trust and ATOL bonding, there is no better or easier way to book. Remember, that if you have any problems whilst on holiday you can pick up the phone and speak to me directly. I can assure you of my best attention 24/7 and I would love to talk to you about all your travel dreams and help to make them come true! I look forward to hearing from you. -

07951 602192Welcome, I’m Hannah I live just outside Marlborough in the Wiltshire countryside, but my head is often somewhere else in the world! My love of travel began at 19 on an unforgettable adventure through India, Nepal and Thailand, and I have been chasing those “come alive” moments ever since. Some of my happiest memories have been made on the road: exploring India, Thailand, Nepal, Australia and Brazil, city-hopping in the US, unwinding in St Lucia and the Maldives, and honeymooning in the dreamy Seychelles. More recently, a family trip to Kenya, combining safari with time on the beach, reminded me just how powerful travel can be for bringing people closer together. Today, I specialise in creating premium, tailor-made holidays for individuals, couples, families and small groups. Think barefoot luxury in the Indian Ocean, meaningful family adventures, romantic honeymoons, elegant cruises, stylish city breaks or energising ski escapes. If you are looking for something special, considered and a little bit different, that is where I do my best work. Before launching my travel business, I spent years in live event production, where attention to detail, calm problem-solving and flawless timing were essential. I bring that same mindset to every itinerary I design, so your holiday feels seamless behind the scenes and effortless for you. Alongside premium leisure travel, I also support music and entertainment clients, drawing on my events background to help with touring and performance-related trips. Working with highly experienced Travel Counsellors colleagues in this space means I can offer the same high level of care and organisation to artists, crews and agents when needed, while keeping my main focus on luxury leisure travel. What really matters to me is getting to know you. I take the time to understand how you like to travel: the pace you enjoy, the details that make you feel looked after, the moments that feel truly special. From the big picture to the little extras such as airport parking, lounge access and smooth check-in, I design every trip as if it were my own. When you book with me as your Travel Counsellor, you will have: - A single, trusted point of contact who knows you and your plans - Financial protection built in - 24/7 support while you are away, so you are never on your own if something changes Your holiday should feel personal, considered and completely yours, not just another booking. When you are ready to plan your next escape, I would love to help you create a trip that feels unforgettable for all the right reasons. -

01633 731932Travel has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. From early adventures to far-flung destinations, through to the holidays I take now with my own family, it’s always been my greatest passion. Over the years, I’ve explored five continents, lived in Kuala Lumpur, and enjoyed more than a dozen cruises—and now I get to turn all of that experience into helping others plan the trips they’ve been dreaming about. What I love most about my job is the people I get to work with. Every traveller is different, and I take the time to really get to know you, your interests, and what makes a holiday feel special. For some, that might mean a self-drive road trip, a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, or an exhilarating city break. For others, it’s the chance to unwind on a luxury beach, take the family somewhere unforgettable, or explore a new cruise destination. Whatever your travel style, I’ll make sure your holiday reflects it perfectly. I know that planning a holiday can feel overwhelming, which is why I focus on saving you time. From researching the best flights and accommodations to arranging activities that suit your family or group, I handle all the details so you can focus on the excitement of looking forward to your trip. This means you can spend less time stressed over logistics and more time planning the memories you’ll create. Because ultimately, travel isn’t just about the places you visit—it’s about the experiences you share, the laughter, the discoveries, and the moments that stay with you forever. I love getting into the finer details because it’s often the little touches that transform a good trip into an unforgettable one. Whether that’s recommending the best family-friendly spots, finding a hidden gem along your route, or ensuring your cruise cabin has the view you’ve been dreaming of, I take care of it all. When you book with me, you’ll benefit from my personal service and attention to detail, alongside the backing and buying power of Travel Counsellors. That means you get the security of a global company while still enjoying one-to-one service—no call centres, no waiting on hold—just a dedicated consultant who genuinely cares about your holiday. Helping people create lasting memories is why I love what I do. I take pride in turning your travel dreams into reality, making the process seamless, enjoyable, and tailored entirely to you.

I’m Tracey Jeffrey, an independent Travel Counsellor based in Silsden, West Yorkshire, and I have spent over 35 years helping people turn their holiday ideas into memories they will treasure. I started my career in a busy high street travel agency, eventually becoming a manager for a major brand. Those years taught me a huge amount: how to really listen to what a customer wants, how to spot the little details that make a big difference, and how to solve problems calmly when things do not quite go to plan. In 2002 I chose to join Travel Counsellors so that I could offer a more personal, flexible and truly bespoke service to my own customers. Travel is not just my job, it is my passion. I love exploring the world myself and have first-hand experience of many destinations across the globe. That might mean recommending the little family-run taverna hidden away down a side street, suggesting the best time of day for that iconic viewpoint, or knowing which hotel will really suit you rather than just look good in a brochure. Over the years I have arranged all kinds of holidays: simple flight-only bookings, relaxing package breaks, cruises, complex multi-stop and round-the-world itineraries, as well as accommodation-only stays. Some trips are once-in-a-lifetime celebrations, others are much-needed weeks in the sun, but each one is important to the person travelling, and I never lose sight of that. My business is built on genuine relationships and exceptional service. I get to know my customers, their likes and dislikes, their wish lists and worries, so that I can take away the stress of planning and give them complete peace of mind. I offer independent advice, honest recommendations, and the reassurance of full financial protection through the Travel Counsellors trust. You can contact me by phone or email at a time that suits you. Whether you have a clear idea in mind or just a dream of “getting away somewhere special”, I would love to help you shape it into a holiday that feels just right for you.

In September 2025 I summited Mount Toubkal in Morocco in support of Reuben’s Retreat, and this year I am taking on a midnight marathon in April to raise funds for our local hospice in Letchworth. I have hosted group trips from husky sledding and chasing the Northern Lights in Finland to trekking through the breathtaking High Atlas Mountains in Morocco and reaching the summit of Mount Toubkal, the highest peak in North Africa. Recent travels have taken me husky sledding through snowy forests in Finland and exploring the cities of Sweden and Paris, to soaking up the sun in Turkey, Ibiza and Crete, and sailing on a Disney cruise to Belgium. Closer to home, I have enjoyed time in Ireland, Dubai, the Lake District, Norfolk and cruising on Independence of the Seas. I bring this first-hand knowledge and curiosity to every itinerary I design. As a luxury family holiday specialist and cruise expert, I am passionate about creating all styles of trips, including: • Relaxing beach escapes where you can fully switch off • Luxury, long-haul adventures and tailor-made itineraries • Family and multi-generational holidays that keep everyone happy • Ocean and family cruises with plenty of built-in fun • Culturally rich journeys that go beyond the typical tourist trail • Active and adventure-based trips Because I run my own independent travel business from home in Hertfordshire, I am fully flexible and work around you. Unlike a large call centre, you deal with one person from start to finish, with direct access to me for any questions or support, big or small. When you book through me, you save yourself time, stress and endless scrolling. I have access to an extensive range of trusted travel partners around the world, plus valuable local contacts to add those special touches: from memorable restaurant reservations and private guides to surprise treats on arrival. My key specialisms include: • Luxury family holidays • Cruising and family cruises • Tailor-made long-haul journeys • Multi-generational and group travel • Active and adventure-based trips Whether you are searching for a Hertfordshire travel agent for your next family escape, a special celebration trip or a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, I would love to help you bring it to life. I look forward to hearing from you, Becky -

Based in Surrey with my husband and two young children, my passion for travel was sparked long before it became my career — beginning with backpacking adventures across New Zealand, Asia, Malaysia and beyond. That passion quickly turned into expertise. I honed my skills at an award-winning central London agency, looking after both leisure and business travellers, and have since been recognised with multiple company and global awards. Today, I bring that same dedication, insight and attention to detail to every trip I design — whether it’s a once-in-a-lifetime holiday or a perfectly planned escape. As an independent Travel Counsellor, I offer a highly personal, concierge-style service. I’m not tied to any single tour operator, which means every itinerary is carefully tailored around you. There are no call centres, no handovers and no chasing — just one trusted point of contact from the first idea to your return home. My home-based office also means I’m available when it suits you, including evenings and weekends. To make things even easier, you’ll have access to the MYTC app, where all your bookings are securely stored in one place. From flight details to hotel confirmations, everything you need is always at your fingertips. All I need from you is a sense of what you’re looking for — your wish list, budget and must-haves. From there, I’ll take care of every detail, saving you time, removing stress and adding value you won’t find online. For complete peace of mind, all applicable bookings are ATOL protected, ensuring your money is fully secure. Whether you’re planning a simple escape or a more complex itinerary, I offer experienced guidance from start to finish. Contact me to get started. -

No confusing room types. No second-guessing your choices.

And if I don’t think something’s right for you - I’ll tell you. ✈ My Experience Over nearly two decades, I’ve worked across planning, booking, aftercare, in-resort support, training and management. I’ve seen every side of travel - which means you don’t have to learn the hard way. Some of my favourite destinations include Thailand, Barbados, Sri Lanka and Dubai and I’ll never say no to a European city break (Barcelona, Budapest & Krakow have my heart). Whether it’s long haul luxury, a family all-inclusive, a multi-centre adventure or a romantic escape, I’ll guide you through every step. 💼 Why Book With Me?

07812 150832Hello, 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. -

01423210191Hi, I’m Sharon, your independent Travel Counsellor in Wetherby, Yorkshire. I have been fortunate enough to travel to many parts of the world, with my first solo trip being to the USA. I spent a year working in, and exploring both the East and West Coast, where I would quickly learn how adrenaline-filled, empowering, and liberating the feeling of travel can be. Though the USA was the place that birthed my wanderlust, I have since visited over 30 countries across America, Europe, Asia, and Africa, as well as taking some time out of a corporate career to volunteer on a game reserve in South Africa. There is no where I feel more at peace than on the African Plains, and I can’t wait to return one day to share those moments with my family! I just love visiting new places, immersing myself in local cultures and discovering the unexpected! Whether that is an adventure trip exploring the wonders of Sri Lanka, or a great family holiday to Crete, I am confident that I can use that lust to help tailor the perfect trip in any destination worldwide. Since working in travel I have booked leisure holidays, tailor-made adventures, business travel, luxury honeymoons, and also specialise in group travel. I believe that arranging any kind of travel should be exciting and not stressful. Which is why with my help, I can take care of everything, so all you need to worry about is what to pack! I promise to make every element of your travel experience completely personal to you. I will share inspiration and itinerary suggestions, manage your booking, and organise those extra individual requirements that will make the difference between your experience being not just good, but exceptional. And with Travel Counsellors being one of the largest travel providers in the UK and part of a global network, I am able to access a vast range of options and suppliers, and build tailor-made trips bespoke to you. Not only that but our independent Financial Trust and ATOL bond offers protection on every element of your booking offering customers 100% financial protection. My service doesn’t stop there. Whether you have booked a package holiday to Mallorca, or a multi-centre Honeymoon to South America, or a business or group trip to the USA should anything go wrong, I will be here to support you, seven days a week. If something happens and you need changes, I can leverage our size and our relationships to make that happen for you. That’s all part of the service. I deal with any size of party; so whether you are looking for corporate or team travel, a winter ski trip, family summer holiday, luxury honeymoon, sensational cruise or that trip of a lifetime, I would love to help organise your next adventure. -

0191 916 8830Hi, I'm Scarlett, a Travel Counsellor based in Newcastle upon Tyne. Travel has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. From family holidays growing up to planning my own adventures the moment I could, discovering the world has always felt natural to me. After studying Travel and Tourism as a school leaver, my career initially took me into the legal sector and later higher education administration, where organising corporate and academic travel became part of my day-to-day work. It was there I realised the part I loved most wasn’t the paperwork or logistics, it was crafting the travel itself. In 2021 I stepped into the travel industry professionally and haven’t looked back since. Today I help my clients create travel experiences that are completely personal to them, whether that’s a once-in-a-lifetime honeymoon, a much-needed sunshine escape, or a meaningful bucket-list trip. A big part of my work is helping travellers find options that align with their values. I specialise in sourcing ethical, cruelty-free and inclusive travel, whether that means avoiding animal exploitation experiences, recommending LGBTQIA+ friendly destinations, or finding suppliers who take sustainability seriously. Some of the wonderful trips I’ve helped plan include a bespoke honeymoon to Costa Rica, a dream trip to Minneapolis for a Prince superfan, and countless sunshine getaways to favourites like Tenerife and Benidorm. Personally, Mexico has completely stolen my heart and remains one of my favourite destinations in the Caribbean. I live in Newcastle with my partner Dean and our daughter Lilith. Becoming a parent has given me a whole new appreciation for travel that is both memorable and manageable, especially when life is busy. When you book with me, you’ll have a personal travel expert looking after every detail. I treat every trip as if it were my own, offering honest advice, thoughtful planning and support from the first conversation to the moment you return home. And because I work with Travel Counsellors, every booking is protected by our unique Financial Trust, meaning every penny you spend is 100% financially secure. If you’re dreaming about your next adventure, I’d love to help you bring it to life. -

If you are reading this, the chances are you are contemplating booking your perfect holiday or short break very soon. So let me tell you a little about myself. My love of travel started 27 years ago when living in Greece. I lived around the Greek islands, mainly Corfu, Kos, Crete and Rhodes. Looking after holidaymakers on their special holidays helped me to realise how important your well deserved break away is, and when returning to the UK my desire was to continue to help my customers find the perfect holiday. I worked in a high street agency for a while but quickly began to realise that customers needed an agent who could offer any holiday, anywhere in the world, at anytime of the day especially in the evening after work, an independent agent they could get to know and trust with their travel plans. I became a personal Travel Counsellor 21 years ago and have not looked back. I now create holidays anywhere in the world. I believe that your holiday should be unforgettable. Everything will be tailored to suit you. The personal contact I have with you through the booking process makes sure we miss nothing. It’s like having a friend book your holiday for you. All you need to provide is the idea, even if it is vague! I still get excited about all my customers’ travel plans, whether it be a luxury/bespoke tailor-made holiday, long haul destination, package trip, cruise or an adventure tour. As your Personal Travel Counsellor you will find that I’m refreshingly different from most other travel agents as I work from home, so I am available as times that suit you. Planning a holiday really is this easy. I am also available 24/7 whilst you are away on holiday and with the myTC app you have access to all your travel documents and my contact details in one place – great ways to give you that all important peace of mind. Please do not hesitate to call me and I will help you with your holiday requirements, or if you just need some friendly advice on your travel plans.

+441617682478Hi, I’m Sarah I live in Greater Manchester and love hiking. I have a sense of adventure about me! My greatest achievements adventuring would have to be, completing a solo parachute jump in Lancaster many years ago, more recently the Everest Base Camp Trek in Nepal. Reaching base camp and climbing up to the summit of Kala Patthar at 5644m for amazing views of the surrounding Himalayan mountains was truly special. I’m a travel counsellor with 29+ years of experience in travel and tourism. That encompasses working as a reception team leader in hotels and at a professional sports club, as well as being cabin crew for a respected airline for 14 years travelling the world. I have been a travel agent/tour operator for four years prior to joining Travel Counsellors. My favorite destinations I have been to, would be Japan, Costa Rica, Mexico, Vietnam, Cambodia, New Zealand and Canada. My number one spot, must go to Chile having seen the glaciers in Patagonia and visited Easter Island (Rapa Nui) to see the Moai was just outstanding. I love multiple destinations for different reasons. Florida is my absolute favorite place to go with kids; you have the weather/water-parks/theme parks/child friendly restaurants and numerous other attractions. What’s not to love! So why book with me: I can’t say I’ve been everywhere, but I’ve been to a lot of destinations and have a passion for curating multi destination complex itineraries. I create personalized authentic travel experiences. I want to provide you and your travelling party with lasting memories and inspire your journey, whether you want an adventure or to laze around a pool in the sunshine for rest & recuperation from your busy life! I’m just on the end of multiple forms of communication from the inquiry stage right the way through until you return home. I’m highly organised with the onus on attention to detail and will have provided you with everything you need. However, should you have any questions or need any assistance I will be there for you - no chat-bot, no auto phone prompts, I’m there if or when you need me. I will stay positive, care about your current situation and do my upmost to find options and solutions. If you don’t know much about Travel Counsellors, we’ve won multiple awards and are rated 5* on Trust Pilot reviews. The ones I am most proud of are the Customer Loyalty award at the Lloyds British Business Excellence Achievements in 2025 and Exceptional Customer Service Awards at the UK Cruise accolades in February 2026. I’m also extremely proud that we were Money Savings Experts number 1 for customer service during the COVID – 19 pandemic! Noted was exceptional handling of refunds/cancellations and changes for over 27,000 customers. We’ve won many other awards over the years; these ones resonate with me the most. Hence, I have the backing of a great customer focused company. -

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

I could eat, sleep and breathe the word and I’ve been fortunate enough to travel quite extensively over the USA and Europe. In fact, I could categorically say Florida is my second home, having been there at least once a year, for the past 20 years! I have worked very closely over the years with Disney, Universal and SeaWorld and would be absolutely delighted to create you a bespoke itinerary for your Florida adventure as I know only too well what a daunting experience this can be for first-time visitors. I am also no stranger to New York, Las Vegas, San Francisco, Los Angeles, New Orleans, Dallas, Chicago and even St Louis (and yes, I did lie beneath the arch)! But of course, it’s not all about the USA, Europe is another big favourite of mine – particularly Spain, France (where I was lucky enough to study) and the Greek Islands. I also visited for the first time this year Mexico and it was certainly love at first sight. Those beaches just blow your mind! In fact, if you are looking for something special in Mexico I will let you into a little secret - please just ask and I will be delighted to share! So hopefully you can sense I am passionate about travel and nothing would give me more pleasure than to create the perfect, bespoke holiday package just for you.

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.

01483 284 304Welcome! 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 difference. Packages 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. 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 or send me a message. You deserve the maximum value and enjoyment – I can help you get it. -

My name is Lucy and this year I will celebrate working 38 years in the travel industry. If you are reading this, and are thinking about organising a holiday for yourself with friends or your family, do get in touch as I'd love the opportunity to help you too. As you can imagine I have seen a lot of interesting changes since I first started my career as a trainee with Pickford’s Travel back in 1988! Time flies ...but travel is my passion and runs through my veins... it's the industry that I love. I pride myself on attention to detail and I thrive on offering an extremely high level of customer service. I have built my business by relying on my customers to refer me to their friends and family - and since I became a Travel Counsellor in 2007, my business has grown substantially. Who doesn’t love to take a holiday? I have been incredibly lucky to travel the world and my favourite destinations include Dubai, the Maldives, the Seychelles, Borneo, Thailand, the Greek islands and Melbourne, Australia. I’ve loved shopping until my feet ached in New York and I've waited patiently in Kenya to spot the baby elephants! I also have a passion for cruising and can share my ship-life experiences with you too; if you haven’t tried cruising before why not treat yourself to a taster cruise – usually two or three nights - on some of the world’s best cruise liners? If you are celebrating something special, why not make it a truly memorable occasion by asking me to organise your plans - I'll promise to add “whistles and bells” .... whether it be a family gathering at a UK hotel, or a special birthday treat abroad to tick something off of your wish-list, I can help you. Let me share my experience, ideas, and suggestions with you and together we can plan your special event. Travel Counsellors are an independent travel agency. I have access to over 3,000 suppliers which means I can tailor-make exactly the right holiday for you at a competitive price. We also have our own unique and state-of-the-art dynamic packaging computer system, which means that I can compare travel options for specific dates in a matter of minutes. So, please don’t get frustrated trawling though websites looking for your own holidays, let me do the hunting for you (at no extra cost to you either). Choose to spend your well-earned money with someone who CARES … especially during a continued complicated world where countries might have e-visas and passport rules meaning that it is all too easy to "fall down a hole" with not knowing what procedures need to be in place before you can step foot onto a foreign land! I am here for you; to hand-hold... and suggest the best ideas for you, that the internet definitely won't! I just need your preferred holiday dates and then I can get the ball-rolling for you! I look forward to hearing from you, best wishes and happy travelling! Lucy P.S.

01392 770 000Hi everyone! I’m a Travel Counsellor based in Exeter, Devon in the UK.I have grown-up children. We’ve spent most of the last fifteen years in the Middle East, where my husband works, and have used both that region as well as our home in the UK as our starting and finishing point for international travel. I’ve been in the travel business for many years and previously ran my own travel website, helping clients to enjoy the best destinations available worldwide. I pride myself on my ability to communicate with people and helping them to share my enthusiasm for optimising their travel experience with the right choice of destination. Advice on how to do that cost-effectively and without loss of quality is a vital part of my service. One of my personal favourite destinations is the Caribbean. What a place! Sun, sea, sand, great attractions, both day and night, and lovely people. People who have honed to a fine art the ability to extend genuine friendliness and a welcoming way to tourists visiting their lovely tranquil countries and idyllic tropical islands. I love my work as a Travel Counsellor. The satisfaction that comes from being able to advise my clients about how to get the best from their holiday aspirations is obviously a great feeling. At the same time, however, I’m aware of the great responsibility which rests on my shoulders when seeking to ensure that disappointment isn’t an option. Most people only have a few weeks a year to get away from it all and they want to spend their hard-earned cash on the best leisure experience they can possibly get. The number of clients who have returned to me again and again has given me confidence that I must be doing something right! I’m also proud and pleased to announce that my daughter, Sophie, has now joined me in the business and is looking forward to helping me to help you even more efficiently. She’ll be doing her bit to ensure your experience from initial enquiry to your completion of a wonderful vacation is as smooth and carefree as possible. So, if you want to make the world your oyster, from cruises to sun and beach destinations, or skiing and more adventurous holidays all over the world, contact me (and Sophie!) so we can get together to get it right. “To travel is to live” – Hans Christian Andersen -

01548 562045Imagine having your own personal travel expert, who knows you by name, understands how you like to travel, and takes care of every last detail so you can simply relax and enjoy the journey. I am Gretchen, your independent Travel Counsellor, and I have been in the travel industry for over 24 years. During that time I have worked in business travel, tour operating and now leisure travel, which means I bring a wealth of knowledge, contacts and experience to every holiday I create. My greatest joy is helping my clients get the very most out of their time away and turning their trips into memories they will talk about for years. I spent the first 21 years of my life in South Africa, so the country is incredibly close to my heart. I know first-hand how special it is, from its wildlife and wine regions to its vibrant cities and dramatic coastlines, and I absolutely love designing holidays that show my clients the very best of this amazing destination. I have also worked for a Caribbean specialist and have been lucky enough to visit a number of islands, returning whenever I can. Warm turquoise seas are a big part of my own travels. As a qualified Advanced Open Water diver, many of my trips now include time underwater, including a memorable experience diving with tiger sharks in the Maldives. Away from the oceans, I am equally drawn to countries with rich histories and breath-taking landscapes. Peru, with its culture, cuisine and spectacular scenery, is one of the most fascinating places I have visited. I have recently returned from an incredible journey through India, a trip that truly opened my eyes to the richness of the subcontinent and all it has to offer. I work from home, which means I can be flexible around you and we can connect at a time that genuinely suits your schedule. Your time is precious, so let me take away the stress and overwhelm of planning. Whether you are dreaming of a tailor-made multi-stop itinerary packed with experiences, or a simple sunny fly-and-flop escape to recharge, I will take care of everything. Every holiday I book is 100% financially protected, so you can feel confident that your money is safe. Instead of spending hours trawling through endless websites and conflicting reviews, you can rely on my expertise, attention to detail and personal recommendations. I will be here from your very first enquiry, through the planning and booking process, right up until you return home, ready to help and support you every step of the way. When you are ready to start planning your next trip, I am here to listen, to inspire, and to create a holiday that is truly tailored to you. -

We love spending time together as a family either going for long walks or taking a trip to the cinema. Before I became a Travel Counsellor I worked in a very well known high street travel agency. My passion for travel started with me leaving school and signing up to a youth training scheme and I continued my career over the next 20 years. I worked full time in a branch but received training on the job which enabled me to gain my NVQ Level 2 & NVQ Level 3 in travel Geography and travel services.

I absolutely love Disney World and everything it has to offer. I also love to Cruise. I have been on some fantastic ships and visited some amazing places. What better way to enjoy a trip of a lifetime waking up in a different destination each morning.

0207 112 0240Hi, I’m Vicki I help people plan holidays that are not only seamless and stress-free, but genuinely worth looking forward to. Because booking a holiday should feel exciting. In reality, it often turns into hours of scrolling, comparing, second-guessing and hoping you’ve made the right choice. That’s where I come in. I take the time to understand exactly what you want from your trip, then use my experience, trusted suppliers and industry insight to create something that fits properly — not just something that looks good online. From flights and hotels to the finer details that make all the difference, I handle everything for you. Who I Help — and Why It Matters I work with people who don’t just want a holiday — they want it done properly. Busy professionals People who don’t have the time (or patience) to spend hours researching options and want someone they trust to get it right first time. Families From school holiday travel to multi-generational trips, I make sure everything runs smoothly and works for everyone — without the stress. Couples and special occasions Honeymoons, milestone birthdays and anniversaries — the trips that really matter. These are the ones where details count, and I make sure they feel exactly as they should. Clients who value quality over guesswork If you’ve ever booked something online and thought “this isn’t quite what I expected,” you’ll understand the difference. I offer honest, informed recommendations so you avoid those moments. Why Clients Work With Me Because I don’t just book holidays — I take ownership of the whole experience. I know which hotels are worth it and which just photograph well. I spot flight routes that look cheaper but don’t make sense in reality. I understand how destinations actually feel, not just how they’re marketed. And if something changes while you’re away, you’re not left dealing with it alone — I’m here to support you from start to finish. The Bottom Line You could book it yourself. But if you want the right hotel, the right location, and a smooth, well-planned experience from start to finish — that’s where I come in. Let’s plan something you’ll genuinely look forward to. -

I specialise in arranging long haul tailor-made premium travel. I have always put my customers first and have a great understanding of what it takes to put together the perfect trip. It is difficult to pick a favourite destination. Over the years I have been fortunate to stay in some of the world’s best hotels and fly with some of the world’s best airlines. I have canoed by mokoro on the Okavango Delta and cruised to the Alaskan fjords. I have helicopter hopped around New Zealand and cycled down 'Death Road' in La Paz.

01613790249Hello there and thank you for visiting my web page – let me introduce myself. My name is Clare and I live in Cheadle Hulme, a small village in South Manchester with my husband, daughter and new addition a lively Springer Spaniel. I have worked in the Travel Industry for almost 20 years in both Leisure and Corporate and honestly cannot imagine working in another industry. I started as a Leisure Travel Consultant for a large high street chain which specialised in Tailor-Made itineraries but I soon realised that no matter where the dream I wanted to be the one to make it come true. This could be a UK Staycation, a weekend city break, annual week or two in the sun or a bucket list dream trip. I excelled in building long trusting relationships with my clients that saw them return again and again. I moved over to Corporate Travel following the birth of my daughter and used those tools of building relationships with my clients to ensure long lasting partnerships. There is no trip small or large or component of the trip that I cannot organise for your business. I am excited to be part of the Travel Counsellors family as this will enable me to offer a truly flexible and independent service. I understand that not all travel can be organised during the typical 9-5 so I am her 24/7 365 days a year. Travel is still my addiction and I feel blessed to have visited so many wonderful countries across the globe. I am currently at 42 countries and try to add a new one each year. I often get asked where is my favourite place and whilst it is difficult New Zealand certainly is a stand out country and it is my aim to get back there with my family one day. With my extensive experience and destination knowledge I look forward to working with you to give you the best Travel Experience. -

Travel has always been a big part of my life. I was born in Gibraltar and spent my childhood in Germany, before moving back to the UK. My passion for travel grew on the many family holidays I took as a child, and led to me undertaking my degree in Tourism Management at Bournemouth University. On graduating, I worked for an Adventure Travel company, where I was top seller for 2 consecutive years, before joining the public sector in customer service and project management roles. My passion for travel however got the better of me, and I joined Travel Counsellors in 2019. My combined travel, project management and customer service skills ensure I am equipped to offer you the best experience possible when booking your dream holidays. I have been fortunate enough to holiday in destinations across the world, including Australia, Singapore, Thailand, Egypt, Kenya, Brazil, Argentina, Florida, New York and extensive travel throughout Europe. These holidays have ranged from your classic bucket-and-spade package holidays, to independent travel and group tours. The highlight of these has to be my honeymoon which was spent in Thailand – 2 nights in the hustle and bustle of Bangkok, followed by 12 nights in the glorious sunshine on Koh Samui. I believe in taking the time to get to know you and what you are looking to get out of your holiday, be it a city break, cruise, luxury beach escape, family holiday or flight only, and create something completely bespoke to you. I like to treat every enquiry as if I am looking for own holiday, providing the highest level of care and attention to detail.

From honeymoons in the Maldives and African safaris to island hopping in South East Asia, Californian road trips, rail journeys through the Rockies or an epic adventure around Australia, you’re in the right place. Travel has been part of my life since my early twenties, when I first caught the travel bug exploring Asia and Australia.
