Hello and thanks for taking the time to look me up. I've been with Travel Counsellors since 2004 and every day is a fantastic challenge which makes me enjoy my work more and more. It's such an honour to be part of such an exciting and innovative company where our ethos is firmly rooted in excellent customer service.For 18 years I specialised in Business Travel and enjoyed creating itineraries which include flights, hotels, cars, ferries and rail reservations but since joining Travel Counsellors, I now have the opportunity to put together some really exciting itineraries for leisure customers as well and my knowledge of the leisure sector is growing by the day.Of course I have done some travelling myself and have been many times to Europe. I loved the buzz of New York, the 'Summertime' feeling you get in Miami and the clean air of San Francisco. Dubai is fabulous for shopping and sizzling on the beach or relaxing in the desert. I've also been to Hong Kong where the pace never eases up and in contrast, to the Caribbean where nothing is rushed and you'd fare better if you just relaxed! I'm also an avid cruiser and have cruised with P&O, Princess, Royal Caribbean and Holland America cruise lines and this year I was on board for P&O's Azura and NCL's EPIC inaugural events. Cruising is fantastic these days and really has something for everyone. So you see, I love travelling and when I'm not, I take pleasure in arranging travel for my friends, and my clients become my friends, and I always arrange a holiday on the basis of ' would I go there'. Thanks for taking the time to read my page and get in touch when you next want your dream holiday arranged. Please feel free to contact me by phone or email.Kind regardsGill

Hei, Thanks for taking time out to let me outline my and my partner's experience.I learnt my trade working for and with, amongst others, Colin Murison Small who more or less invented the alpine ski 'chalet girl’, Colin Trigger a one time Chairman of ABTA & ATOL, and the legendary Vladimir Raitz who held the country’s first ATOL when in 1949 he sent 21 people to Corsica for £35 a head!! I’ve watched the sun rise over Table Mountain, sink beneath the horizon in the Aegean and stay above it all night in the Svalbard Archipelago. I’ve slept in a mountain hut on the edge of an Icelandic glacier and a staffed villa on a coconut plantation in the Dominican Republic. I've organised family holidays, culture tours, a product launch on an Icelandic glacier, weddings in the sun and snow, sales incentive meetings and more. My partner Anna ( Hyndman Lahna) spent 3 decades working in tour operation, retail travel, repatriation and for Singapore Airlines & South African Airways. What she doesn’t know about airline ticketing isn’t worth knowing. She has equally eclectic experiences to mine having white water rafted on the Zambezi River, trekked by camel across the Gobi desert, flip flopped over the Piranha River Bridge into Paraguay, and trained elves for Father Christmas in Lapland.Together we fuse our collective experience (and experiences) with Travel Counsellors' state of the art technology to plan, polish and perfect your holiday the way you want it to be. To see to it that everything works flawlessly for you from beginning to end. 'With us its Personal' is more than the company strap line its how we work so you get the travel arrangements you want. And if things go wrong we've dealt with disruptions caused by everything from snow storms to volcanic eruptions.Our offices are wherever we are 24/7 so both Anna and I are always just a phone call , Whats App message , e-mail or text away so get in touch by whichever method suits you and let us show you what 'With us its Personal' can mean for you.Travel Counsellors is a 650m turonover company with a unique personalised business model, 24/7 availablity and a Trust Fund 100% guaranteeing your money's safe in all circumstances.

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

Hello! I’m Emily, a Rugby based Travel Counsellor!Travel has always been something I’ve considered a lifestyle necessity as opposed to a hobby or a passion. Whilst studying Journalism at university, I used every spare weekend to explore new destinations, whether it was a short break on the South Coast of England, or a few nights in Europe. After years of sharing my own experiences through my travel blog, I decided to take a leap of faith in myself and become a travel counsellor. For me, the best part of travel isn’t just the trip itself, but it is the excitement to share the stories you bring home. The smile on my grandmas face when I bring her home an authentic souvenir, or the way my grandad laughs when I talk about the adventures I’ve endeavoured on makes every part of the journey home from a new destination just as exciting. And that’s the exact feeling I bring to all my clients when they book their personalised holiday with me!I made the decision to become a Travel Counsellor for the opportunity to be part of others stories. I will take away the stress and hassle of spending hours sifting through pages of online deals and provide you with a bespoke holiday catering to your needs, with 100% ATOL protection giving complete financial peace of mind, you can focus your stress on what to pack for your dream getaway instead.As a worldwide company, Travel Counsellors will be there for you 24/7 with our duty office, and with no other obligations, clients are my complete priority. With that in mind, I will be available at a time that best suits you for a chat about your travel desires… a personal service you would not receive booking online. I look forward to hearing from you!PS. Check out my adventures @ travelwithem.com @ travelwithem_tc

Personal support from start to finish: You always deal with me. I am your single point of contact from enquiry, through booking and travelling, to when you return home. Flexible around your life: I know how busy life can be, especially with work and family, so I can chat outside traditional office hours. All your travel in one place: I can assist with everything from UK breaks and city escapes to long‑haul adventures, cruise, ski, groups, rail journeys and once‑in‑a‑lifetime trips.I specialise in detailed, tailor‑made itineraries that combine the right hotels, experiences and logistics so everything flows smoothly. I have particular expertise in:Tailor‑made long‑haul adventures to New Zealand, Australia, Japan, Vietnam, Thailand, South Africa and across the USA Safari and wildlife experiences, including South Africa and Kenya (I have been to both), and ethical encounters in Asia Rail journeys across Europe, linking together iconic cities and scenic routes River and ocean cruising, including hosted Christmas markets river cruises Family‑friendly escapes and special occasions Whatever you have in mind, my goal is to really listen to what you want, then build a holiday that feels personal and exactly right for you.Some of my own travel highlights shape how I plan holidays for my clients: These include an epic three weeks in South Africa discovering the Southern Cape: shark diving, walking with penguins, unforgettable food and a fabulous safari to end the trip.

I’m Emily and I live in Somerset with my husband, three children, and Rusty the Border Terrier. I specialise in thoughtfully designed, experience-led journeys for families and couples who want their travel to feel meaningful, immersive, and beautifully tailored.My own travel experiences are at the heart of how I plan for my clients. From growing up living abroad and exploring European cities, to travelling through Thailand and Australia, sailing around the Greek islands, and spending extended time working on a ranch in the mountains of Montana, USA, I’ve experienced travel in many different forms. Alongside this, I now regularly design trips to some of my most booked destinations, including the Maldives, the USA, and Greece - giving me a deep, practical understanding of how to shape very different types of journeys, from barefoot luxury and island escapes to road trips, national parks, and cultural exploration. As an animal lover and horse owner, I’m particularly conscious of how travel experiences interact with wildlife, communities, and the natural world. When it’s relevant to your plans, I can guide you towards experiences and partners that take a thoughtful, responsible approach - without ever limiting the kind of travel you want to enjoy.The value of working with a professional travel planner is in the detail - matching you to the right places and experiences for what you’re really seeking. A ranch stay, for example, can mean very different things depending on whether you’re seeking wellness and space to slow down, hands-on horse riding, or food, culture, and connection. Choosing the right fit makes all the difference to how the experience feels.As a mum to three, I also understand how precious time away can be, especially for families balancing busy lives. Holidays are often the moments we look back on most fondly, the space where we reconnect, slow down, and create memories that stay with us for years to come. Whether I’m planning a family adventure, a special celebration, or a once-in-a-lifetime escape, I approach every trip with the same care I’d give my own.My role is to take the weight of planning off your shoulders, so you can enjoy the excitement of travel without the stress. From our first conversation to the moment you return home, I’m there to guide you, support you, and make sure every detail has been thoughtfully taken care of.With Travel Counsellors’ industry-leading partnerships and technology behind me, I’m able to offer a complete, expert service with full financial protection and exceptional aftercare. Between myself and the duty office, you’ll have round-the-clock support while you’re away so you can travel with confidence, knowing help is always there if you need it.Talking travel is my favourite thing! I can make myself available whenever it works for you, whether you’re ready to start planning or just want to explore some ideas. I’d love to hear from you!"Wherever you go becomes a part of you somehow." — Anita Desai "It's not the miles, it's the memories"

Kate Rouse – Luxury Travel Specialist & Bespoke Itinerary ExpertI always knew I wanted to travel. Perhaps it was growing up in a small Warwickshire village that felt like the middle of nowhere, but the bright lights of the world called to me from an early age. At 17, I convinced my somewhat bemused parents that working for British Airways on a YTS scheme (showing my age here!) was the best decision I could make. And I was right.Sure, Birmingham Airport in the 80s was more “hut in a field” than glamorous international hub, but I didn’t care. I was in my uniform, working in travel, and I never looked back. That first step with BA led to hotels, then to overseas roles, and before I knew it, I was living and working in some of the world’s most fascinating places—Spain, Cyprus, Dubai, Cairo, Aruba, and most recently, Portugal, where I spent 15 years. While most people dream of retiring abroad, I did things in reverse—building a career across the globe before returning to the UK to be closer to family, friends, and to launch my Travel Counsellors franchise.Experience That TravelsDecades of international experience have given me an insider’s perspective on luxury travel—the highs, the hidden gems, the unexpected hurdles. I understand what truly happens when you step off a plane in a new country, and why careful planning and attention to detail can mean the difference between a trip and a once-in-a-lifetime experience. My approach is simple: you relax, I do the worrying. It’s in my DNA. While I am naturally optimistic, I am also a worst-case-scenario planner, ensuring every trip has a Plan B, so you never have to think about it.That’s why Travel Counsellors was a perfect fit for me. Their ‘No ifs, no buts, 100% financial protection’ gives my clients complete peace of mind. Who wants to travel and worry? Not on my watch.Luxury, Bespoke & BeyondMy expertise lies in bespoke, high-end travel, with a particular love for crafting complex itineraries that become treasured memories. I specialise in multi-generational trips, ensuring that everyone, from toddlers to grandparents, has a seamless and unforgettable experience. Having run an exclusive events and catering company in Portugal, I know first-hand what it takes to deliver five-star service to discerning clients and how the smallest details elevate a holiday from great to exceptional.Cruising the WorldI love cruising. It’s one of the most extraordinary ways to travel, and I’ve had the privilege of experiencing cruises across the globe. Whether it’s the Caribbean, the Mediterranean, or the Norwegian fjords, I know how to match you with the perfect ship and itinerary.Bucket List MustAnd then there’s Egypt—a destination that holds a special place in my heart. If you do just one thing in your lifetime, make it a Nile cruise. Egypt is a contradiction—busy, chaotic, and overwhelming, yet utterly spellbinding, steeped in mystery and history that takes your breath away. Imagine drifting along the Nile, watching temples glow at sunset, or floating in a hot air balloon over the Valley of the Kings as the sun rises—it’s magic. And I know exactly how to make it your magic.Let’s Plan Your Next AdventureLuxury travel should be exciting, seamless, and stress-free—and that’s exactly what I deliver. Whether it’s a bespoke itinerary, an exclusive cruise, or a multi-generational escape, I take the time to craft trips that are uniquely yours. And with the backing of Travel Counsellors’ exceptional service and financial protection, you can book with total confidence.I look forward to plotting and planning your next adventure. Let’s make it extraordinary.

Travel isn’t just my passion—it’s my life. With 40 years in the travel industry, I’ve had the privilege of designing unforgettable holiday experiences for clients around the world.As a Travel Counsellor I have the expertise of a whole host of wonderful travel partners across the globe, and together we have tips and touches that can really enhance your holiday experience, making you memories that will last a lifetime.A little bit about me..... I got the travel bug in my late teens and took off for a year motoring across Australia in a beaten-up old VW campervan. I then spent six months backpacking around Thailand, Malaysia, Borneo, Laos, Bali, Singapore and Sri Lanka which was an incredible experience. I am also extremely proud to say that I worked in Disneyworld, and while I was there I was lucky enough to take trips to California, New York and New Orleans and also down to the Caribbean Islands, Bahamas, and Mexico - and of course I know Florida like the back of my hand!People always ask which country is the best that I've visited, and I always give them my 'Top 4' as they all have different reasons for being so awesome and they all have a very special place in my heart... New Zealand for the sheer breath-taking beauty of South Island. Grenada for that little sparkling gem of an island in an already stupidly beautiful Caribbean. Iceland for its surreal landscape, pure air and magical twilight that really does make you question your very existence, and Kenya for a night I will never forget at Treetops Lodge where I was incredibly lucky to stay in the same room where Queen Elizabeth stayed when she visited as a Princess and left as Queen.I look forward to hearing from you and discussing your next travel plans, I am always happy to chat through thoughts and ideas about any country so please do not hesitate to give me a call or drop me an email.With very best wishes & happy travels,

I love “painting a picture” of some of my many breath taking memories with you… from witnessing a water buffalo give birth in the Masai Mara, to the stunning Colours of Malaysia parade in Kuala Lumpur, cycling over the majestic Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco to the first sighting of The Pyramids or Abu Simbel in Egypt, to more recently the first glimpse of the mystical Treasury at Petra in Jordan another 7 wonders of the world I was able to tick off my list! Imagine being no more than 2 feet away from a pride of lions, including 5 frolicking cubs, at Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania as we quietly watched from the safety of our vehicle or a kill in South Africa? The list is endless and YES… I can take you there. You want to know the person you are booking your travel with, has all the right tools at their fingertips to act swiftly for their clients - yes that is me your personal Travel Counsellor !The travel industry has had some very challenging times and I have been there for my clients throughout their travel affected by the ash cloud, the pandemic, 9/11, the tsunami, tour operator and airline collapses, in fact I would not be a multi award winning travel expert if had not been there for my clients every step of the way – you should never be abandoned if something goes wrong. My portfolio of exceptional hand-picked hotels and villas throughout the world is vast, from quirky boutique hotels to well known family resorts, secluded hideaways to stunning villas- this is just the tip of the iceberg, as I work very closely with over 700 major tour operators and having my own in house tour operation too, enables me to craft the perfect trip for my discerning clients.So whatever you are looking for, even if you cannot see it on the website, it would be impossible to showcase the hundreds of daily offers from my trade partners, airlines, hotels, cruise lines, villas and resorts I have at my fingertips, I would still love to hear from you after all. I do love a challenge and the opportunity to make booking your holiday simple and of course always a pleasure.I have thousands of very loyal and satisfied clients, who have booked their travel arrangements with me for many, many years and love to recommend me to friends and colleagues which is the greatest accolade I can receive, as I continue my great working relationship with all my clients both old and new. So please do not keep me a secret ! I do not have a bookable website as prices and offers constantly change and I know what a minefield the internet is, therefore all my quotes are live with ALL the inclusions I offer at the time of the quote, remaining honest and fair, which is the way it should be. I love to personally communicate with my clients on a friendly, unbiased one to one basis and most importantly listen to what you are wanting and ask the right questions !I look forward to speaking to you soon...

Hello, I’m Sally Strang, based in Thames Ditton, Surrey.With over 35 years of experience in the travel industry, I founded my own travel company 14 years ago. I’ve worked in senior sales and marketing roles, predominantly in the hotel sector, but also with airlines, airports, and tourist boards, and even ran my own representation company. My career includes working with renowned brands like Edwardian, Westin, and Marriott, representing other iconic properties like the Waldorf Towers and Plaza Hotel in New York, and playing a key role in opening the Jordan Tourist Board office in London.Seeking a better work/life balance and a more personal connection with my clients, I transitioned into becoming a travel advisor. Running my homeworking business is now my true passion, allowing me to combine my extensive industry expertise with a hands-on approach to crafting exceptional travel experiences.I’m married to Rob, a recently retired senior Virgin Atlantic pilot, and together we have a 26-year-old son and a golden working cocker spaniel named Bunker. Rob’s career has taken us around the world, visiting almost every continent and many of the destinations Virgin Atlantic flies to. Having travelled so extensively, it’s difficult to pick favourites, but each destination has deepened my travel knowledge, helping me craft unforgettable experiences for my clients.What sets me apart is my commitment to personalised service.

Thank you for taking the time to view my web page.My name is Ann and I am an independent travel agent based in Bury, Lancashire. I have been in the travel industry for over 30 years and joined Travel Counsellors in 2002. Prior to that I was a manager for two of the major high street agencies.My clients live all over the UK and I even have some clients who live overseas. I feel that the reason for my success is my passion for good old fashioned service, my personal experience of worldwide destinations and my independent advice.As a Travel Counsellor I use my personal expertise to tailor make exactly the right holiday to suit your needs. Rather than selling you a standard tour operator package, I can quickly search through hundreds of different flight, accommodation and transfer alternatives to find something that suits your needs exactly. Quite often this means I can build you a bespoke holiday at a cheaper price than the standard holiday package you might get elsewhere.One of my favourite destinations is the Caribbean and I have just been awarded the prestigious 'Platinum Agent' award from the Caribbean Tourism Organisation, which is the highest award they have. It is given in recognition of visits to the islands and completion of tasks and stringent questionnaires. I have also received many other industry accolades such as Cotac, City & Guilds, NVQs and destination awards such as ‘Aussie Specialist’ and many others. I feel that it is very important to keep in touch with all aspects of the industry through various on-line training systems.My business is based purely on providing my customers with the highest possible levels of personal service and I would be delighted to assist you with any of your holiday plans and dreams.I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Planning a holiday should be exciting, not stressful. That’s where I come in. With years of experience in the travel industry and access to an extensive network of over 2000 travel counsellors worldwide, I am here to make your dream trip a reality. Whether you're looking for a relaxing beach retreat, an adventurous safari, or an unforgettable city break, I have the insider knowledge to make it happen seamlessly.Traveling to exotic destinations can come with its own set of challenges and navigating travel logistics can be complex. You might be surprised by some of the details that can make or break a trip. Did you know that: In countries like Italy and France, hotel rooms often don’t include tea and coffee facilities as standard? Or that many hotels in the Hawaii charge resort fees payable upon arrival, something most people aren’t aware of when booking online? In Botswana, for example, many safari camps have private landing strips that aren’t listed on online booking sites, making it difficult to arrange flights without expert help. In Dubai, hotels often expect children to share beds with their parents unless an additional roll-away bed is requested in advance. And if you’re heading to South Africa for a safari, there are specific clothing restrictions to ensure you don’t disturb the wildlife. Long layovers can be an opportunity rather than an inconvenience—airports like Singapore Changi and Istanbul offer free city tours for transit passengers, a perk that many travellers are unaware of.These are the kinds of insights that make all the difference—and why having a travel expert by your side is invaluable.For those seeking unique experiences, I can help you discover unforgettable moments you might not find in a standard guidebook. Imagine waking up in Cappadocia and watching hot air balloons drift by from your terrace at sunrise. Or enjoying breakfast in Kenya while giraffes poke their heads through the windows to say hello. Perhaps you’d like to arrive in New York and take a seven minute helicopter transfer straight to Manhattan, buzzing past the Statue of Liberty? These are the kinds of experiences that turn a holiday into a lifelong memory.When you book with me, you’re not just getting a travel agent—you’re gaining a trusted partner who will take care of every detail. From checking you in and arranging restaurant reservations to organising private tours and ensuring you have a point of contact during your trip, I’ll be with you every step of the way. I only recommend destinations and experiences that meet my own high standards, ensuring that every trip I plan is one I would take myself. And if I haven’t experienced a destination personally, I go the extra mile to conduct thorough research, ensuring it fits your needs perfectly.My clients return time and time again, and I treat every holiday like it’s their dream come true. Whether you have a clear idea of where you want to go or are looking for inspiration, I am here to take the stress out of planning and create an experience that exceeds your expectations.Life is short and the world is wide. So, what are you waiting for? Get in touch to plan your next adventure.

Hello, my name is Helen and welcome to my website. I’m a Derbyshire girl, born, bred and am still based here.

Since then I have been fortunate to have visited over 40 countries around the world - my favourites being Iceland, Vietnam, Canada, Cuba, Sicily. My trips have been varied - from city breaks to long tours, relaxing beach holidays to skiing snowy mountains, luxury hotels to hostels – so I have a wealth of travel experiences to delve into.“I haven’t been everywhere, but it’s on my list” – Susan SontagAs a traveller myself, I love to explore and see as much of a country as I can.

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.

Welcome 🤗 I’m Sam, your local Personal Travel Counsellor, specialising in luxury, tailor-made travel experiences. Based in Potters Bar, Hertfordshire, I live with my fiancé Adam, our three children, and our Cavapoochon, Honey — a busy family life that perfectly complements my passion for creating exceptional escapes for others.My career in travel began straight from school, where I studied Travel and Tourism at college before starting my professional journey with Going Places. There, I achieved my NVQ Levels 2 and 3 in Travel and Tourism and built a strong foundation within the industry. I went on to work for an independent travel agency specialising in Greece and Cyprus, before joining a well-established tour operator where I spent many years expertly tailor-making complex, around-the-world itineraries for discerning clients.After taking a career break to raise my three children, I returned to the travel industry once they were in full-time education. Following several successful years back in the role, the pandemic brought unexpected change. It was during this time that I discovered Travel Counsellors — and instantly knew it was the perfect fit. Joining allowed me to fulfil a long-held ambition of running my own business while continuing to deliver the exceptional service and bespoke travel planning I’m known for.With over 25 years of experience in the travel industry, I pride myself on offering a truly personal, concierge-style VIP service. Every holiday I design is carefully handcrafted, using my expertise and access to thousands of trusted global suppliers. If you can dream it, I can make it happen — and I’ll ensure every detail is thoughtfully considered.Travel is not just my career; it’s my passion. I’ve been fortunate to explore an array of extraordinary destinations including Barbados, Dubai, Mexico, the Maldives, Iceland, Lapland, Mauritius, and many parts of the USA — from the Golden Triangle of Las Vegas, San Francisco and Los Angeles, to New York and Florida — as well as Canada’s Toronto and Niagara Falls. I’ve also travelled extensively throughout Europe’s most loved family destinations, such as Greece, Turkey and Cyprus. And, of course, the bucket list is ever-growing, with The Bahamas, Turks & Caicos and Thailand firmly in my sights next.I am driven, detail-focused and committed to going above and beyond for every client. I thrive on setting goals, exceeding expectations and continually raising the bar — all with one clear aim: to create unforgettable, bespoke holidays that are as unique as you are.All that’s left for you to do is sit back, relax, and let me take care of the rest.

Hi, my name is Lynne Jordan and I am a Travel Counsellor based in Great Harwood which is near Blackburn in Lancashire. I am originally from Preston and moved to East Lancashire in the late 80s. I love living in the countryside as it enables me to indulge in my passion for horses, I own a Roscoe a Highland Pony and I go out competing at shows up and down the country regularly. I also have a wired dachshund who loves to sit in the office with me checking out the brochures looking for next next holiday !Before becoming a Travel Counsellor I spent over 30 years in the travel industry in a variety of roles for several well known travel companies, airlines and agents. I have been privileged to travel the world and visit some of the top destinations and hotels. I have especially enjoyed visiting numerous Caribbean islands as well as America and the Far East. If you prefer to stay closer to home, Spain and the Balearic’s as well as Turkey and the Greek Islands are all places I have made regular visits to both for work and pleasure. I have also experienced a number of cruises, something a lot of people are now enjoying as an alternative to the regular two week resort stay.As your personal Travel Counsellor I am here to help select and plan your perfect dream holiday or break and unlike high street agencies or impersonal on line websites, I can do this at a time to suit you either by phone, email at my home office or if you prefer and are local in your or home or a suitable meeting place. Nothing is too much trouble. Being a Travel Counsellor means I can be flexible so that I can be here for my customers when they need me. Because I work from home (which I love) I can be in the office when its suits me and my customers best, before work, evenings, weekends etc.The best thing about being a Travel Counsellor is hearing back from my customers on what a great holiday they have had. I love the satisfaction and pride this gives me. So I am really looking forward to planning your holiday for you and hearing all about it when you return so why not give me a call or drop me an email and lets start planning?

Hi. Thanks for visiting my web page.Whether you are looking to take a helicopter trip over (or under!) the Golden Gate Bridge, soak up some winter sun in the Canaries, get up close and personal with the elephants in Sri Lanka or book tickets for the latest West End Show, thanks to my 20+ years in the travel industry I am very privileged to have first-hand experience of a huge range of destinations and holiday types. I have also met some incredible people during my time in travel and have friends and colleagues around the globe so if you are looking to go somewhere I haven’t been to personally, I have a world of local knowledge to call upon.I am often asked where my favourite place is in the world. It would be way too hard to narrow that down to just one so I have lots! My favourite City and shopping venue has to be New York, for total relaxation I’d return to the Maldives any day and my favourite place for a family holiday is the beautiful and unspoilt Puerto Pollensa in Majorca. Not forgetting Lapland and Disney of course for the pure magic! I am also a big fan of UK Holidays and particularly enjoy spending time on the South and East Coasts as well as the Lake District.I have a real passion for travel and being a Travel Counsellor allows me to spend time making sure that I find you the right holiday, or business trip, to suit all of your needs.

Hi, I’m Colette — your local Travel Counsellor in Dulwich.I’ve lived and worked in this brilliant part of London for over 20 years, but my real qualifications were earned elsewhere — usually with a backpack, a questionable plan, and a very strong sense of curiosity.I’ve been travelling for over 40 years, long before travel became filtered, airbrushed, and reduced to “top ten must-sees”. My career began in a Greek campsite, peeling potatoes to pay my way — which may not sound glamorous, but it was the moment I fell headfirst into a life of travel.I’ve always travelled properly. And occasionally… bravely.Like in St Anton, where my enthusiastic-but-terrible learner skier self-misjudged a mountain and ended up hitching a ride down on the back of an Olympic skier. Not recommended. Unforgettable.In the Caribbean, I’ve lived the rhythm — salsa dancing under the stars, street dancing during Jump Up in Castries, St Lucia, and learning to roll cigars on my (then younger, thinner, sun-kissed) thighs in Cuba. Research, obviously.I’ve crossed the USA coast to coast on a Greyhound bus, watching the scenery shift from neon city lights to vast, wide-open plains — proof that sometimes the journey really is the point.Asia is where it all really comes alive.In Cambodia, I’ve explored ancient temples, rattled through villages in tuk-tuks, stayed in homestays, and hopped between restaurants and hidden bars on the back of a motorcycle — the best seat in the house.In India, it’s been forts and palaces, ancient history and colourful mayhem — a sensory overload of incense, spices, chaos and beauty, all somehow working in perfect harmony.I’ve surrendered to wellness retreats in Bali and Thailand, floated through the tranquil backwaters of Kerala, and perfected the art of doing absolutely nothing on the beaches of Malaysia, Goa and the Andaman Ocean.This isn’t tick-box travel - this is lived, breathed, slightly chaotic, joy-filled experience.So why travel with me?Because I don’t sell holidays — I design them, using decades of real-world experience and a very good understanding of what makes a trip unforgettable for you.What you get that the internet can’t:• A real human who actually listens • Honest advice (no algorithms, no upselling) • Tailor-made trips — never off-the-shelf • One calm, capable point of contact before, during and after you travelOnline booking won’t help you when flights change, seats disappear or plans wobble. I will. I’m available evenings, weekends — even holidays — because travel rarely behaves itself.Whether it’s a simple hotel stay, a family escape, a solo adventure, or something wonderfully different — like a village homestay, a food-focused itinerary, or a wellness hideaway tucked into Bali’s foothills — I’ll craft it around your style, your pace and your budget.Everything you book with me is 100% financially protected through the Travel Counsellors financial trust — so you can relax and enjoy the fun bits.No bots. No hold music. No “please listen carefully”. Just thoughtful, personal service — with experience, humour, and a healthy sense of adventure.Let’s turn your travel dreams into plans. I’m ready when you are.

I imagine that you have found your way onto my page as a starting point for your next adventure? Maybe you are thinking of a relaxing week on a secluded sandy beach, or a tailor made trip of a lifetime exploring deepest darkest Peru or a stylish city break to New York. Whatever your thoughts and hopes are for your next holiday, I am positive I can help. Being an independent travel agent, I am passionate about travel and enjoy the whole experience from the early planning stages right the way through to the eventual return home and looking through all of the memories made on the camera. Being able to walk alongside you throughout this process and help you build the holiday of your dreams is quite simply the best job (if I can even call it that, it really doesn’t feel like work). As a Travel Counsellor, I can offer so much more than the High Street shops or the internet. With me, not only can I create entirely bespoke holidays through my access to thousands of flights, hotels and experiences from every corner of the globe. I also offer exceptional service from beginning to end. With me, you will not have to worry about a thing. Over the years I have travelled all over the world however with 2 young children my escapades have taken a somewhat different approach! It doesn’t make me love it any less and it is amazing watching my kids experience different countries and cultures. I have found that attention to detail is the key difference between a good holiday and an amazing one, so whether you are travelling with a family, going solo or have any other requirements I will be sure to take note and adapt your trip to make it the best yet. I have access to industry leading systems and tools that enable me to piece together your unique holiday. I pride myself on my attention to detail and ability to think ahead so any demands or requests that you may have will be catered for. It is also worth noting that any holidays booked through me are 100% financially protected by either our Travel Counsellor financial trust or by ATOL. I am available on the phone; via e mail or through Facebook at any time so please do not hesitate to contact me. I would love to hear from you.

Hi, my name is Damian Flower, based in Hook Hampshire, where I have lived for the past 14 years raising my 2 sons, now 25 & 21, with my wife Karen. Having been in the Travel Industry for over 35 years, and working initially in retail holiday travel, I moved briefly to Tour Operation, but I have spent most of my career working and leading teams in corporate travel. I have managed a large variety of clients in the Media, Apparel & Investment Banking sectors. In 2008 I was able to combine my passions for travel & motorsport, becoming the Travel Operations Manager at McLaren Racing based in Woking Surrey. Having married Karen who shares the same travel bug, we have been fortunate enough to travel extensively all around the world, but feel the Maldives for our Silver Wedding Anniversary was a favourite. Having worked in F1 attention to detail and 24/7 accessibility is my bread & butter, so being able to offer this on a personal level for you will be my pleasure as well as my job. I believe that “Life should not be measured by just the number of breaths we take, but the number of breaths taken away” So, I look forward to hearing from you soon, for all, and every aspect of your Corporate & Leisure travel.

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.

Hello and welcome to my webpage. I am based in Solihull just south east of Birmingham and I have over 25 years’ experience in the travel industry. Since the first time, as a child, when I was taken on a ferry from Harwich to the Hook of Holland and then by train to the south of Germany I have been hooked on travel. I have had experience in many aspects of the travel industry including front line sales consultant, tailor made specialist and management and during this time I have built strong relationships with customers and travel suppliers. I understand from first-hand experience how travel suppliers operate so can use that experience to advise you in arranging your perfect holiday or business trip. Corporate travel is a speciality for me having worked as a senior manager with a leading travel management company for more than 20 years. Whether you need a hotel in the UK or a complex business trip I can arrange this for you. And it does not stop there, I can also provide you with account management advice, management information on your business travel trends and spend and the unique Travel Counsellors travel app. When I am not working I love to travel myself and have visited over 50 countries during my adventures. Some of the highlights of my travels have been diving in the Maldives and the Seychelles, Skiing in Colorado, Safaris in Kenya and South Africa, trekking up to the spectacular Machu Picchu in Peru, visiting historical monuments in Tibet and seeing the amazing Terracotta Warriors in Xian China to name but a few. But I have also travelled extensively in Europe and the UK and as a business traveller I understand the complexities involved and what is important to you when you are travelling for business having done many business trips both long and short haul. My passion lies with travel and offering my customers the very best personal travel experience. So whatever your travel requirements, be it a tailor made far away holiday of a lifetime, a chill out week a bit closer to home, a city break, a business trip or a weekend away in the UK I can help you. I look forward to hearing from you.

My name is Ginny Scott, and I have worked in the travel industry since 1984.I hold an HND qualification in Business Studies and Travel & Tourism from Durham college, along with BA fares and ticketing levels 1 and 2, and numerous other travel related accreditations. I managed a really busy leisure travel shop for a Business Travel Agency in the City of London for 13 years where I had a small team of five looking after the holidays needs of our demanding corporate clients. It was a very happy and very successful part of the business. After taking redundancy due to relocation, I joined Travel Counsellors in October 2000 and I won the 'Best Newcomer' award the following year having built up a business pretty much from scratch. In December 2002, I had a much longed for daughter and became very adept at arranging family holidays with a small baby in tow!In 2003, Travel Counsellors introduced the GOLD status and I have been a Gold Travel Counsellor ever since flying off for celebration weekends annually to places like Cape Town, Barbados, Las Vegas and Dubai. I have travelled extensively, both on holiday and professionally. Some favourite destinations include Italy, Greece, Egypt, Brazil and Australia as well as much of the Indian Ocean including the Seychelles and Maldives. I had an amazing trip to Fiji - and have also visited much of the Middle East. Travel Counsellors has enabled me over the years to deliver a superior service to my clients using state of the art technology and an unrivalled range of product. I am adept at putting together tailor-made itineraries and love unusual requests. I am also Focalpoint trained which means I can book all flights worldwide at the touch of a button, and this is extremely useful when constructing complicated multi centre itineraries. I love a challenging request, and I look forward to hearing from you!

My name is Jade and I am a Travel Counsellor from the South East corner of the UK. I have lived close to the coast my whole life, growing up in the seaside town of Ramsgate before moving over to a lovely spot in between the coastal towns of Margate and Broadstairs, where I now live with my partner and our two small children.I was bitten by the travel bug from a young age, as I was fortunate enough to go on lots of lovely family holidays across Europe and the USA. At twenty one I pursued a career in travel and became cabin crew for British Airways, flying all over the world, and landing in some places I had never even heard of! I lived the jet-setter life for a few years before deciding it was time to place my feet back on the ground and continue my travel career but in a new direction. After hanging up my wings, I worked for two high-street agents, Kuoni and TUI respectively. Both companies gave me huge insight and experience into all aspects of travel, from tailor-made adventures to package holidays and UK getaways, I gained so much valuable knowledge during my time on the high-street, which then eventually led me to decide to take the leap and launch my own travel business with Travel Counsellors.I absolutely love being a Travel Counsellor, initially because I loved the flexibility around my children, but now because I love the freedom and flexibility I can offer my clients, too. I am not bound by traditional high-street hours and targets, and my clients like to think of me as their personal travel advisor in their pocket, as I am only ever a WhatsApp message or phone call away.Before I had my children I was a real culture-vulture. For my own holidays I absolutely loved to go off the beaten track and explore little-known places, however my current holidays are now more family-focused, and very occasionally I like to visit an adult-only gem for some precious R&R.There really is no limit to what I can offer, from once-in-a-lifetime long-haul trips to a sight-seeing city break, cruise’s and even a relaxing weekend here in the UK, I have the experience, knowledge and technology to enable your dream holidays to come to life.Everything you book with me is 100% financially protected by Travel Counsellors unique Financial Trust and our ATOL bond. I also do not offer a fee for my services.If I sound like I could be the Travel Advisor for you and you would like help planning your next getaway, please do not hesitate to get in touch. I love nothing more than a Whatsapp or email with holiday ideas and plans!I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Travel has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. When I was two, my family moved to The Bahamas and from that moment on, travel became part of who I am. With over 45 years of exploring destinations around the world, both professionally and personally, travel is not just my job, it is my life.Over the years, I have been lucky enough to experience travel in many different ways. I have travelled extensively through Australia, horse‑trekked in New Zealand, and lived an active outdoor life windsurfing and sailing in the Caribbean and Greece. I have enjoyed luxury, food‑focused escapes in the Maldives and Mauritius, unforgettable family adventures to Disney World, magical winter experiences in Lapland, and camping under the stars in Oman. I have skied in France and loved countless city breaks from Venice to Hong Kong.My career has included time as a specialist sports tour operator, helping fans follow major events such as the Lions tour and the Ashes. I am very used to organising complex, multi‑stop itineraries where every detail matters, and I bring that same level of care and precision to every trip I plan.I have experienced holidays in all their forms: family escapes, city breaks, luxury retreats, adventure holidays, group trips, solo journeys and romantic getaways. Because I have lived them myself, I understand what makes each type of trip special and just how important it is to get it right.That is why booking through me feels different.I take the time to really listen to what you are dreaming of, how you like to travel and what matters most to you. For me, it is never just about flights and hotels. It is about the thoughtful details, the little extras and the reassurance of knowing someone genuinely cares about your trip from start to finish. I create journeys that feel personal, seamless and completely you.When you book with me, you can expect:. One‑to‑one personal care . Tailor‑made travel experiences designed entirely around you . 100 percent financial protection through ATOL . Protection through Travel Counsellors Trust . 24‑hour support, even whilst you are awayWhen I am not planning holidays, you will usually find me at our seaside restaurant in Pembrokeshire, serving the freshest seafood and spending time with my children. More often than not, they are out on the water sailing, fishing or paddle boarding in the bay, which reflects the balance, freedom and connection I value in life and in travel.I love building long‑lasting relationships with my clients and helping them create memories they will treasure long after the suitcase is unpacked. No call centres, no pressure, just thoughtful planning, expert guidance and a friendly face you can trust.So, where to next? I would love to help you make your next journey truly special.
