    Martin Lake

    01273 317 319 Hove

    Hi, I’m Martin. I live in Hove on the south coast with my young family.My passion for travel began in the mid ‘90s with a round-the-world trip and working holiday in Australia. Since then, I’ve been fortunate enough to have travelled extensively worldwide, visiting over 50 countries along the way. My travels have taken me to places such as Thailand, Sri Lanka, Borneo, Cambodia, Vietnam, Myanmar, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Brazil, the USA, New Zealand, Fiji, Kenya and a number of European countries too. More recently, I’ve been discovering destinations a little closer to home, such as the Canary Islands, that work very well for family holidays.Over the years, I’ve had some wonderful experiences that include watching cheetahs as the sun sets over the Masai Mara, sky-diving at the Whitsundays in Australia, taking a helicopter ride into the Grand Canyon and travelling on the tea country train through the tea plantations in Sri Lanka.Through work trips, I have first-hand experience of staying in some of the world’s finest hotels (and some more run-of-the-mill ones too!) and can pass on some great tips to ensure you get the most from your hotel choices. I have extensive flight cabin knowledge. Business or Premium Economy Class isn’t always as expensive as you may think and makes long haul travel far more enjoyable.Before becoming a Travel Counsellor, my career evolved from working in London for a ‘flights specialist’ and managing a team of 20+, to helping build a small travel ‘start-up’ into a successful travel business and more recently working for an award-winning luxury tailor-made tour operator creating privately guided tours throughout Asia. All these roles have required exceptional service levels and a very keen eye for detail. With over 25 years’ experience as a dedicated travel professional, I can offer impartial, tailored advice for your trip and great prices too! Your leisure time is very precious and I realise just how important holidays are. I take pride in providing inspirational ideas for your trip, something which will save you hours of online research. Planning a bespoke holiday itinerary can be a daunting and sometimes time-consuming experience. Leave the detail to me and I’ll ensure a stress-free, smooth running trip, and you’ll return home with amazing memories that will last a lifetime.For a no obligation quote (or just an initial chat about your holiday plans), please feel free to give me a call or send me an email. I’ll be very happy to help…

    There are not many places I’ve not been to or booked someone to. Let me use my knowledge and try my personal service approach to your next holiday.I began my career in travel in the mid-1990s. The choice and types of holidays have changed dramatically since I started and so has how you book them, with Travel Counsellors leading the way.The popularity and selection of cruises is now immense – and so are some of the ships – but in terms of value for money, it’s an amazing holiday. I know there’s a cruise for everyone because I been on so many myself! From an uninterrupted trans-Atlantic voyage to New York, to a trip round-Britain calling at unique ports – I’ve done it! Cruises for the whole family are amazing also – there’s so much to do on the latest ships, even my hardest customers to please, my two children, agree.Gone are the days of choosing between a one or two week holiday. With Travel Counsellors I have access of hundreds of airlines and an endless list of hotels so you can have a tailor-made holiday. Whether it’s a customised package flying from a local airport, like Bournemouth or Southampton for me, to a multi-destination itinerary including flights with leading scheduled airlines, using the latest technology I have as a Travel Counsellor, I can do it.Through the hundreds of suppliers I can select from and the specialist tour operators I deal with, no travel idea is a challenge. My favourite trips are simple for me as a Travel Counsellor – worldwide itineraries taking in the best of Australasia, mid-haul city breaks like Dubai, once-in-a-lifetime visits to Father Christmas in Lapland and even luxury breaks in the UK.As a Travel Counsellor I have the time to get to know you, to understand what type of holiday you’re looking for (including the experiences and memories you’d like to make), and I can provide an extremely high level of service. Travel Counsellors came out on top, ranked number one travel firm, when Money Saving Expert surveyed travellers about how their travel agent treated them. Add to this that everything you book through me is 100% financially protected also.I live on the south coast between the sea and the Purbeck hills, in a Saxon town called Wareham in Dorset. If you live in the surrounding areas I am more than happy to visit you, meet up or even come and visit me.I look forward to helping you with any travel plans you have.

Whether you are seeking adventure, discovery, rejuvenation or simply somewhere special to relax with your family, I would love to help you create your own wonderful memories.Over my long and varied travel career I have seen many changes in the way that holidays are presented and bought. The internet may have enabled people to create their own trips, but the process is fraught at the best of times, and ultimately you travel without support. We have all had the irritation of unmanned email addresses and no contact numbers when seeking assistance from a human being. What might appear a modern convenience can all too easily become a frustrating experience and a false economy.We offer a personal service and take the time to find out what makes the perfect holiday for you and your family. I appreciate that all stages of the booking cycles are equally important, this means I’ll be with you every step of the way to ensure everything runs smoothly. Our 100% financial cover will give you complete peace of mind together with our round the clock 24/7 support team. Our incredible travel app will also keep you fully updated at all times both before and during your trip and together with my own support ensures you have a true travel concierge service from start to finish leaving you free to enjoy your holiday.I have access to an incredible range of quality suppliers worldwide, covering holidays as varied as safaris to ocean cruises, yoga retreats to adventurous hikes in the Himalayas, to say nothing of exclusive beach locations, our preferential rates allow me to tailor-make your perfect holiday providing superb value for money.It is clear that our planet is changing so now might be the time to make that bucket list trip happen. Each opportunity to travel is precious and I want to ensure you get the most out of every holiday.You will find me informed but informal and available at the times that suit you.

    Hi there and thank you for taking the time to check out my webpage. Let me introduce myself, my name is Lara Jackson and I am excited to say I’m a Travel Counsellor based in Cheshire. A bit about me: I am married with 1 teenage son and as you can imagine their passion is football but mine is very much travel so the more football they do the more travelling I do (it’s only fair) meaning I have been lucky enough to visit some amazing destinations over the years.Travel has not only been my passion but fortunately it has been my profession and since leaving education 20 years ago (where does the time go?) I have worked for some of the leading travel organisations in the UK dealing with a wide variety of different travel requirements from, cheap and cheerful breaks to tailor-made holidays of a lifetime as well as more recently diversifying into business travel helping companies making the most of what they spend on travel. I have always wanted to work for myself but at the same time I wanted to ensure I had the infrastructure to make sure I could offer the best deals whilst delivering exceptional service to my clients and being part Travel Counsellors has given me the platform to do that. I always go above and beyond and particularly in these uncertain times, like me, you’ll always want to make sure you can pay for your holiday with the confidence that should anything go wrong then you are 100% financially protected.So why book with me? I’m well-travelled, what I mean by that is I have travelled to over 51 different countries and 5 continents, including; Europe, America, Hawaii, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Cook Island, Asia, Kenya, India, United Arab Emirates, Indian Ocean, Caribbean, Costa Rica and Egypt. Also if you’ve missed a connection or lost a document there’s no need to be caller number 872 on a travel website’s customer service line, I’ll be there to assist you 24/7 365 days, I’ll always endeavour to find you the best deal whether it’s a 1-stop beach holiday or for every aspect of a complicated multi-destination trip. Travel means everything to me and I know your holiday does to you, it isn’t just selling you a holiday it’s hopefully the start of a long-term relationship so whatever your needs my aim is to make your trip as simple and stress-free as possible.Thanks for considering me and hopefully look forward to speaking to you soon.

    Jenny Igoe

    0203 627 2660 Whetstone

    It’s Lovely to Meet YouI’m Jenny, an independent Travel Counsellor based in Whetstone, North London. I’ve worked in travel for over 20 years and have been running my own travel business for the past nine years, helping clients plan holidays and trips that are well thought out, personal, and genuinely enjoyable from start to finish.I believe travel planning should feel exciting, not overwhelming. My role is to take the stress away, handle the details, and make sure everything runs smoothly. I work closely with my clients, getting to know what they like (and what they don’t), so every trip is tailored properly rather than feeling like a one-size-fits-all booking.My love of travel started early thanks to my parents, who made sure we travelled abroad every year. At 20, I headed off on my first big adventure to Thailand, followed by a year living and working in Sydney. On the way home I travelled through Fiji, Hawaii, LA and Las Vegas — which completely cemented my love for seeing the world.I began my career with a Modern Apprenticeship at Thomas Cook, before spending ten years at Flight Centre in London. During that time, I gained solid experience in tailor-made, business and long-haul travel, and was lucky enough to visit some incredible places, including Tanzania on safari, Zanzibar, and the US.In 2008, my husband and I travelled through South and Central America — from Brazil and Argentina to Peru, Bolivia and Costa Rica — trekking the Inca Trail and experiencing some truly unforgettable moments along the way. Those trips shaped the way I plan travel today: focusing on experiences, not just destinations.Now we travel as a family of five, with three teenagers, and our trips range from skiing holidays and European breaks to long-haul adventures like Australia, Dubai and next year we are off to Asia. Travelling with teens has given me a very practical understanding of what works (and what doesn’t) when planning family holidays — especially when comfort, pace and flexibility matter.Whether you’re planning a big trip, a special celebration, or simply want someone you trust to organise your travel properly, I’d love to help. Just get in touch with your ideas and we’ll take it from there.Jenny

The key factor to all that we do is the personal touch ensuring that we deliver, and exceed, customer expectations – meaning that you are sure to receive the best service and enjoy the holiday you deserve.I have over 19 years of travel industry experience initially with Monarch Airlines as both long haul and short haul cabin crew. This gave me extensive knowledge of world destinations, the best hotels, the resorts which suit differing profiles and those hidden tips which once experienced can make a holiday extra special. My knowledge includes safaris, Lapland, ski resorts and beach/sun destinations. City breaks including my own personal favourite New York and driving the Pacific Highway from San Fran to Vegas feature heavily in my list that have been ticked and thoroughly enjoyed. If you dream of a South African wine tasting trip, I have experienced it and can make it a reality! More recently I have worked organising travel logistics for a triathlon events team organising bike travel and hotel/flight bookings for competitors across Europe. This involved valuable knowledge of European flights and hotels to suit all budgets.Throughout my time in travel my focus has been on customer service of the highest level. It is the most important factor to me when I travel and it is how I believe my customers should be treated, I am a trained wedding florist and therefore can specialise in dream weddings abroad or honeymoons – in 2017 I arranged my own marriage in Montenegro and therefore can bring my own ideas and experience to assist you to make your day perfect in every way!Whatever your travel needs, be it a flight, city break, winter sun, cruise, villa, luxury, low cost, activity holiday, theme park, conference or business travel, dream wedding or honeymoon or requirements to suit all accessibility needs I can be your travel contact.Please give me a call or send me an email to discuss all of your travel needs – I would be delighted to help.

    With over 21 years experience of working front line sales for a leading travel company, I've decided to take my career to the next level. Working with global award winning Travel Counsellors has given me the opportunity to have my own franchise, setting my own high standards of both service and product, using my vast experience to deliver a high standard of industry expertise.For you, this will begin at enquiry stage, leading you through some of the options available, you can then settle on which of the tailor-made travel itineraries best suit you. I'll provide personal recommendations where required, all to deliver a service that exceeds your expectations, and travel experience that will leave you with un-forgettable memories.During my 19 years I've acquired some stand out travel experiences, most recently, taking in the stunning natural beauty of the Maldives with my wife, where I was able to fulfil a life long ambition of swimming with manta-ray. Spotting the Big five at South Africa's Shamwari Game reserve along with skydiving over Table Mountain in Cape town, marvelling at the patient craftmanship of the Taj Mahal followed by exploring the backwater's of Southern India to name a few highlights of my travels. Not wanting to keep the world to myself, I've also taken my wife and four children, aged between 8 and 18 to Barbados, Dubai, Thailand and across much of Europe, so I can certainly pre-empt the considerations you'd need to make when travelling with a family. A particularly memorable occasion has to be my shopping and show trip to New York with my two teenage girls, never a dull moment! To list all the places, and diverse cultural experiences I've had will take up half this page, but from the shows and nightlife of Vegas and New York to the Thai markets and Indian temples, I can bring much experience to your tentative enquiry. Over the last 5 years, I've also focused on corporate travel. The challenge of catering for the fast paced high demand is where I come into my own. Finding route and ticket solutions that you'd maybe not see possible with your own planning, I take the strain out of booking business travel, a little more of this is highlighted on my Business travel page via the link.

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

    Planning a holiday should be fun, right?If you’ve happened across my page, then I’ve probably come recommended to you (hi!), or you’re going round in circles looking for advice you can trust.I know there’s a million ways to book out there, but I also understand it can be totally over-whelming, time-sapping and infuriating.And whilst saving you from all those admin headaches is a part of what I do, having a Travel Counsellor is also about so much more…Back in 2018, after a decade working for various big names in the travel industry, I decided to take the plunge and put everything I’d learned into starting my own thing.From the off, my little business has been about personal, warm and truly human service. I’m not here for selling and targets, I’m not going to push a certain thing on you because it suits me. I’m small-scale, I know my clients by name, not by booking reference. I’ll find out about you: what you love, what you hate, what’ll make things extra special and then I’ll work to bring it to life, all wrapped up in a level of 24/7 care that you know you can rely on.So, what can I help you with? Well, the world’s your oyster, really. You might have an idea, or just an inkling of the kind of thing you’d like. I’ll take your lead and work in the best way to suit you.First and foremost, I’m a fully ATOL-protected tour operator, meaning I can design you anything and everything with complete financial peace of mind. Whether that’s a city or a beach break, an ocean or river cruise, or a complex multi-centre adventure, I’ll suggest locations, hand-pick hotels and tweak and tailor until it’s just right for you.I’m also an independent travel agent, so, depending on what you fancy, I can help you choose from a wide choice of tried and trusted third party suppliers too. That means I’ll do all the legwork to compare the options, and present you with a whittled down list of what works and why.I’ve found that you can’t have this conversation without talking about price. I’m always completely transparent that while my prices are fair, I’m not here to try and beat online or DIY arrangements where there’s little to no care, service or protection involved. However, with direct relationships with a whole world of hotels, airlines, cruise companies, adventure specialists, experience providers and much more, I’ll work my socks off to get the right thing, at the right budget. If you’re not sure if I can help, please just ask. I’ll always give you an honest answer.Ready to stop reading, and start planning? I’d love to help. I’ll work flexibly around you, so get in touch and we can arrange a time to chat.

  • Ray Roberts

    01483 284 304 Surrey

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

This on-the-ground insight allows me to offer genuine recommendations and honest advice (and some hiddem gems) – the little things that make a big difference.Since 2012, I’ve had the privilege of building long-standing relationships with every one of my clients – all of whom return to me each time they travel. It’s a collaborative journey: we shape each trip together until it’s just right, and I take care of everything else, right down to the finest details.Before launching my own luxury travel business, I worked with British Airways in Sales, Marketing, and Commercial roles, including time on the Concorde Brand Management team – a personal highlight was landing in the cockpit of Concorde into JFK!Today, I bring that same passion, insight, and precision to every journey I create. If you're looking for a trusted travel partner to support your adventures with care, creativity, and world-class connections – I’d love to chat.Let’s create something truly special together.

    Meher Oliaji

    01784 780054 Egham

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

    Hello and thank you for visiting my webpage. My name is Sandra and I live in Stamford, a stunningly beautiful and vibrant market town in south Lincolnshire.As a Travel Counsellor I’m here to take away the stress of organising your holiday. I’ve never been a 9 to 5 person so feel free to contact me when it suits you - I’ll work with you to fully understand what you want from your trip and take care of every detail from start to finish, so that you can focus on the other important things in your life and start your holiday relaxed.Travel has been my life, from my early days working on a campsite in France, through living and working in Spain, Greece, Malta, India and Cuba to finally being UK based with Thomas Cook in a role that entailed travelling frequently and focusing on giving customers the best holiday ever in places as diverse as Las Vegas, Bali and Kenya, as well as the more familiar European holiday resorts. For as long as I can remember I’ve enjoyed organising fantastic bespoke getaways for myself and others including celebratory weekends in the English countryside for 20+ people, exploring the whole length of Vietnam and a once in a lifetime private tour around Namibia. It was therefore a logical step, following the collapse of Thomas Cook, to become a Travel Counsellor and to use my knowledge and experience to help others have holidays that are just as amazing.The hardest question for me is ‘what’s your favourite destination?’ as I’ve visited 75 countries and each has its own special charms. You can read more in my blogs but some of the most memorable moments of my travels have been micro lighting over the Victoria Falls, swimming with whale sharks in Mexico, seeing the stars in the vastness of the Kalahari and more recently going to the ends of the earth on truly incredible and life affirming expedition cruises to the Arctic and Antarctica.You can trust me to find the trip that’s right for you, whether that’s a multi generational family holiday, a luxury cruise, a romantic city break to pop the question, the ultimate honeymoon or a ‘blow the budget’ round the world trip. Let me know your bucket list destinations and I’ll find the best way to realise those dreams. And if all you want is to chill on the beach then I can arrange that too.In the words of St Augustine, ‘the world is a book and those who do not travel read only a page’. Get in touch and let me plan your next travel chapter!

    Nicky Mellusco

    01403 258204 Horsham

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

    I am Jenni and travelling the globe in a creative and alternative way is my passion. I am here to introduce YOU to my way of experiencing the world and all it has to offer. From a young age, I was always fascinated by holidays and hotels. Lucky enough to have experienced many a hotel and holiday by the time I was making those oh so important life choices, I decided to follow my passion and study hospitality at one of the world’s leading hotel schools. This only served to fuel my passion for travel and top notch service and working at places such as The Gleneagles Hotel and The Four Seasons Hotel, London at Park Lane really opened my eyes to many different reasons that people travel. These experiences also helped hone my skills and aptitude for creating truly magical and memorable moments. Following an early career in the hospitality and travel sector, I realised that my passion for helping people plan their travels; from short breaks to lengthy adventures, knew no bounds and that is when my travel business was born.

    Hello! My name is Rowena, I'm based in Swansea, but cover the whole of the UK, and have been part of Travel Counsellors for the past 22 years. Prior to being a Travel Counsellor, I was one of the original 20 homeworkers in the travel industry, and have worked in the industry for 30 plus years. I have travelled extensively throughout the world, and can impart first hand knowledge on a number of destinations. I specialise in long haul travel, and round the world itineraries, but am equally happy selling European flights and holidays. I also organise a number of weddings and honeymoons.As Travel Counsellors are a fully independent agency I can ensure that you always get the best deal available at the time, and if your requirements cannot be met by a tour operator, I will willingly 'tailor make' your holiday to your own individual specifications. Naturally all aspects of this would be fully protected, even low cost flights. I believe in honesty and integrity at all times, and won't give you the 'hard sell' on an unsuitable holiday just for the sake of it! If I wouldn't go there myself I'd tell you. Let me give you the benefit of my 25 years plus experience in the industry. So why not lift the phone and give me a call? Let me make your dreams come true!

  • Zoltan Biczo

    02046389112 London

    Hi, I am Zoltan, an independent travel professional with more than 20 years of experience in the industry, specialising in cruises and tailor‑made short‑ and long‑haul holidays, all designed with a highly personalised approach. I have worked across both sides of the industry: with cruise lines supporting both the trade and the public, and as a cruise and travel specialist working directly with customers. This dual perspective gives me a deep understanding of how to create seamless, exceptional journeys from the first conversation to the moment my clients return home. Among my proudest professional moments is being shortlisted multiple times for the Wave Awards and Cruise Stars Awards. In 2017 I was honoured with a High Commendation for Individual Cruise Consultant of the Year at the Wave Awards. During my 17‑year career with the Fred Olsen Group, I was proud to be among the first to charter river cruises and a Boeing 737 aircraft for 185 guests, as well as to run small escorted cruise holidays since 2014. Most importantly, I built a reputation for delivering meaningful, personalised journeys for both individuals and groups. Since joining Travel Counsellors in 2026, I have felt truly re‑energised in my career, working with a company known for its upscale, refined and highly respected reputation across the UK and beyond. This opportunity gives me the freedom, cutting‑edge technology and expert support to fully express what has always guided my work: instinct, creativity and a deep understanding of what makes each journey truly special. Today, I design bespoke travel experiences that reflect each client’s personality, dreams and lifestyle. For me, travel is not just about destinations, it is about stories, moments and memories that last a lifetime. If you are ready to plan your next journey, I would be delighted to help you create something truly special from start to finish. Contact me today to begin.

  • Carter Laffan

    0207 125 0009 Croydon

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

    Hello, my name is Trudy. I am a Travel Counsellor living in Angmering with my husband and two children Alexie and Delilah.I have worked in the travel industry now for over 20 years. I started out straight from school as an apprentice for Lunn Poly, rocking their fabulous tartan uniform! Since then I have gained a wealth of knowledge and experience in all things travel. I have worked for independent agents and tour operators and have gained invaluable insight into how to get the best from the industry.Having most recently worked 10 years for a luxury tour operator, I have been lucky enough to have visited many high-end hotels across Europe. This first-hand knowledge puts me in an ideal position to be able to recommend the right hotel to suit my clients needs. I have travelled to some beautiful destinations in Europe including many parts of Italy, Greece and Croatia. I honeymooned in Kenya and have also visited many parts of Northern Africa. One of my favourite destinations to sell is Orlando, specifically Disney and Universal.The best thing for me about being a Travel Counsellor is that I get to use my passion for travel along with my experience to help others find what is right for them. Everyone’s idea of the perfect holiday is unique, and I love nothing more than getting to know my clients needs and helping them to find the right holiday for them.I will be with you from initial enquiry, to booking and will be on hand to help with anything you need until you return from your trip. You can be reassured that I am only a phone call away.I would love to hear from you so please pick up the phone and give me a call or message me so I can find out more about what you have in mind for your next trip. “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain

    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.

  • Nicola Oatham

    01273272775 Hove

    I have a 28 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 72 countries and work in partnership with 1000’s of colleagues who have travelled extensively too so 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…….

    Hello! My Name is Sheena and I have been a dedicated travel professional for almost 20 years. It's fair to say that travel has always been my biggest passion in life since I first heard my intrepid grandparents telling their amazing adventure stories. After studying an International Tourism Management degree, I started my career as a long-haul tailor-made travel expert 19 years ago and have never looked back. I feel so lucky that my job is to help people create their dream honeymoons, weddings abroad, special occasion holidays and travel itineraries where the most amazing memories are created. Having always worked in the long-haul tailor-made holiday sector, there are not many places left in the world that I have not gained experience in arranging a trip to, so you can be rest assured that you will be in very safe hands with me organising your special holiday. Personally, I love exploring Europe these days too, so I enjoy arranging closer to home holidays for my customers as well.Of course, I love travelling and visiting wonderful destinations myself (68 countries and counting…). Australia, New Zealand and Southern Africa are 3 destinations that I have visited frequently as well as having lived in Florida and then Australia for a while. I have also travelled extensively in South America, North America & South East Asia as well as Russia, Mongolia and China. Being a homeworker means that I can be available to talk to you when you are not busy working or looking after the children, whether that’s on an evening or a weekend. How convenient - a Personal Travel Consultant available at times when you are! If you are local to me then I would love to meet in person over a coffee too.It all starts with a chat where I can understand what is important to you about your holiday, learn what your preferences are and why, and then I can make the best recommendations to suit you. Plus, to make sure your holiday is extra special, I will help arrange all the little extras that make it perfect, such as finding a romantic spot to propose, or the best seafood restaurant in the area, as well as any unique experiences. Being part of Travel Counsellors means that all of my packages are fully financially protected, providing security and quality to every trip - plus of course you have an expert onboard with 20 years’ experience.So please get in touch via email or by calling me, or simple place an enquiry above.
