My love for travel began as a child, sitting with my grandmother in Hythe Marina, sat in her Rover Metro watching the cruise ships come and go from Southampton and listening in on her high frequency radio. That early fascination turned into a lifelong passion, and now, with over 20 years in the travel industry and 9 years as a business owner, I’m proud to turn that passion into unforgettable travel experiences for my clients.I specialise in creating tailor-made itineraries, including luxury escapes, honeymoons and cruises.

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!

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 working on and 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.And 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.

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 I’m Sarah, Thank you for visiting my website. I live in Grove, in Oxfordshire with my Husband and 3 children. I have always loved to travel and enjoyed many holidays both in the UK and abroad. I have visited several parts of the world from the Caribbean through to Europe. I’ve enjoyed city breaks, have experienced cruising and very recently thoroughly enjoyed my trip of a lifetime by taking my children to Disneyland in Florida. However, there is still plenty of the world left for me to discover.I’ve worked in travel for almost 5 years, up until recently in a store. I tailored packages for hundreds of satisfied customers, very many of these returning to me year after year to rebook. Through this I built up a personal understanding of what holidays they liked and what new adventures I would could make possible for them and others in the future.I believe holidays are not only a break from the normality of life, they also play an important part of your life and I personally feel these experiences should be treasured and remembered forever. Making memories for others gives me huge satisfaction and working as an Independent Travel Counsellor I will be able to provide you with a personal, professional, trustworthy and flexible service. I love to engage with people and my aim is to ensure that every aspect of your valued break is exactly what you require. My priority is you.I will do everything to accommodate your wishes and will be available to offer you help, advice and give you the best service possible.I can cater for all types of holidays from a weekend break in England to an all around the world cruise. I will be able to help you with not only just packages, but flights (business and personal), accommodation, ancillary extras such as attraction tickets, car parking, insurance and hire cars to anything else you may need travel related.If there’s somewhere you’d like to visit – then I can help to make those dreams come true and turn the fantasy into reality. No matter how large or small your enquiry, please don’t delay and contact me today and let’s get discovering the rest of the world together. I am available both inside and outside normal office hours.I look forward to hearing from you. Many thanks Sarah

Hello and welcome to my web page, my name is Debbie and I am a Travel Counsellor based in Glossop.I understand that between working hard, having a busy home life and less and less free time it can be a hassle trying to arrange a well-deserved break by using a high street travel agency. Parking problems, a busy office with long queues and an impersonal service make what should be the start of a fantastic trip, a generally disappointing experience.Well, you don't have to be disappointed anymore! I delight in making holiday dreams come true and making the whole process from start to finish as relaxing and enjoyable as possible. I have over eight years’ experience in travel and customer services, having arranged holidays to many wonderful destinations around the world. As I love to travel myself and have experienced some of my own dream holidays, I look forward to arranging yours.Whether it's a city break, family holiday, cruise, honeymoon or business trip, whatever your requirements I will do my best to exceed your expectations and provide great customer service, while fulfilling your holiday requirements even before you leave home.We now have a unique system in place which no other travel agency/tour operator has access to, which enables us to book flights, accommodation and transfers separately. This, more than often beats standard tour operator packages.I look forward to hearing from you and being your personal Travel Counsellor so give me a call or send me an email, anytime.

I live in Cleckheaton a bustling little town in West Yorkshire, with my husband Lee and daughter Phoebe.I have had a passion for travel for as long as I can remember, as a child we travelled on many family holidays overseas. My mother often reminds me I loved to inspect all the hotels, checking out the rooms and facilities and compared them to previous hotels. I guess I was a hotel inspector in the making.After leaving school over 38 years ago I embarked upon my travel career. I studied Travel and Tourism for 2 years at degree level and started my first job working as a Saturday girl in a busy independent travel outlet in Leeds city centre. Since then I have worked in various roles, including overseas representation. My previous role was the Manager of the Luxury Leisure Travel Department at a well know independent corporate travel company where I did both corporate and tailor made leisure travel for my clients for over 26 years. Arranging anything from package holidays to private Jet charter. I started my own business with Travel Counsellors in 2018 and I have loved every minute.

Hello, I'm Samm a Travel Counsellor based in Essex.I am passionate about travelling and visiting new places. I care about my clients, taking the time to listen to their wishes to plan the best experience and build a long term professional relationship with them. I put together bespoke holiday quotes searching a vast choice of travel operators and suppliers. Your holiday is 100% financially protected and covered by ATOL. I take care of everything from initial enquiry, right up until the moment you return home. I'm always available to talk. I can help you with anything from skiing, cruise, family, Disney, UK breaks, short and long haul.I've always loved travelling; from a young age my parents stopped telling me when we were going away as I would get too excited so they'd just wake me on the morning of the holiday to tell me we were going away. I've travelled alone from a young age, visiting a pen pal in France at age 14 and work experience in Germany at 17 years old. I then went away to University in Devon and also a semester in the USA. After University I went to the Philippines to work and travel. I've had some amazing experiences in Asia, USA, Africa, South America, Australia and Europe. I love to experience different cultures and meet the local people.I'm happiest when I am planning my next adventure or writing a list of what I need to do for my next trip. I love being outdoors and keeping fit. My husband and I have a campervan and I love our short trips exploring the beautiful countryside. I enjoy writing, especially travel blogs. The only thing I don't love about travel is leaving my lovely cats behind!Please do get in touch if you are thinking about your next holiday or adventure. I can't wait to hear from you!

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.

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 and a big thank you for taking the time to visit my webpage, I love to travel and by visiting this webpage hopefully you do too! I am a highly experienced travel agent based in Macclesfield, Cheshire, with global destinations at my fingertips.I trust you will find the below introduction helpful and that I can inspire you to pick up the phone or drop me a line for a chat about where in the world next awaits you.My passion for travel really took off when I booked a round the world flight ticket in 1997. I largely lived, worked and travelled in Australia, also taking in Fiji and Hawaii on the way home. I have always loved adventure and this opened a whole new world of excitement, experiences and many life-long friends.Ever since, I have been fortunate to travel to many worldwide destinations and experience some magical places. From mountaineering and jungle trekking in Borneo, cruising the Egyptian Nile and riding donkeys to the Valley of the Kings, snowboarding and husky sledding in Canada, scuba diving with sharks in Fiji, hang gliding in Brazil, safaris in Kenya, honeymooning in Zanzibar, crayfish parties in Sweden, to road trips across the USA taking in some of the most breath-taking scenery imaginable.One of my favourite memories is proposing to my wife whilst scuba diving in Tobago, using an underwater slate and a makeshift ring. Thankfully she ticked the ‘Yes’ box and we returned to the surface to cheers from our fellow dive buddies. As of 2018 there are 195 countries in the world and I find it amazing that whilst I feel well travelled, I know I have only really scratched the surface (and occasionally gone underneath when diving!) To fuel my passion for travel, I worked for seven years for two bespoke travel companies, immersing myself further into new destinations, sharing my knowledge and experience and what it can do for the human spirit. I am highly experienced helping business and leisure travellers, designing bespoke trips whilst offering an exceptional level of care and service, whatever your travel requirements and aspirations, big or small. I am available 24/7, before, during and after your trip, to help and assist with recommendations and solving those unforeseen hiccups.In a world of computers, robots and technology, there is still nothing like a personal touch. Let me help take you on your next journey and make it an even more memorable experience.

My name is Thea, originally from London, I moved to the South-West for university and decided to call this place home. I’ve since moved to the suburb of Keynsham but frequently visit both Bristol and Bath to see my clients. After graduating as a Neuroscientist, I decided that life in a laboratory simply wasn’t for me and decided to fuel my other passion in life – travel. As a graduate, I retrained in travel and tourism and haven’t looked back since. My role as a Travel Counsellor, as cheesy as it sounds, allows me to make dreams come true. From that iconic honeymoon to first family holiday, my job is to create incredible memories that will be remembered for years to come. The joy this gives me simply cannot be replaced by any other job. Being your Travel Counsellor means I am my own boss. I can work my own hours, do any special touches I desire and overall go above and beyond for my clients. This flexibility means I am there whenever you need me to be. Can’t speak until after work? Not a problem – I am not restricted to certain hours. Want to meet up in person? Perfect – let's meet in a coffee shop, house etc. My aim is to ensure that your experience is as personalised and perfect from the start of your enquiry all the way through to your return home. I often get asked what’s your favourite place in the world? The answer is everywhere! My personal experience is vast and everywhere in the world offers a unique experience in its own way. Most recently I’ve found myself exploring the depths of India, on safari in Africa, touring in Europe and sunbathing in the Caribbean. Chances are what you are planning I’ve either done it myself or are planning it in the near future. Whatever you are looking to do, don’t hesitate to get in contact no matter how big or small. I look forward to helping you plan your dream trip soon!

I've wandered the lively souks of Marrakesh and relaxed on sunny Greek beaches with the kids. Add to this global travel, Argentina, the Maldives, and St Lucia.

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.

My name is Georgina & I am from Hornchurch in Essex.I started exploring the world at a very young age, I was very fortunate to have great holidays with my parents. Since I can remember I have always loved the buzz of getting on the plane, waiting for the moment the plane doors open and the heat hits you in the face. Growing up I mainly went to Europe & as I got older was able to explore further afield. Leaving college with a Distinction in Travel & Tourism at the age of 18, I knew in my heart that working in travel was the one for me. I worked for various travel companies including Thomas Cook, US Airtours, Kuoni. When I was 21 I took a year out to work in Ibiza & go travelling which was amazing. I travelled to 33 European cities in 22 Countries and wow what a trip this was, Dubrovnik, Bosnia & Prague would have to be a few favourites of mine. Learning about the history & Countries along the way whilst having lots of fun exploring. I have been to many destinations around the globe whilst working in the Travel Industry Canada, Maldives, Caribbean, Thailand, Las Vegas, New York, Mykonos, Disneyland Paris & Florida …. Just to name a few. I have also experienced lots of different style holidays from Ski Trips, Tours, Tailormade, Island Hoping, Family, Adventure, Luxury …I started up being a Travel Counsellor once I had my little one, as wanted flexible hours to be around for her and still had the passion for Travel. I love what I do as I can use my knowledge and travel experience to create some unique trips for my clients. With me it truly is a personal experience. Quite often my clients leave reviews and something which always pops up is ‘Georgina knows how to take the stress away when booking a trip’ this is very important for me especially as I book a lot of honeymoons too. I look forward to hearing from you to book your amazing trip!

Hi, my name is Rachel, thank you for visiting my webpage - I look forward to helping you with your dream holiday. As an experienced travel consultant, I know how important it is to provide a personalised service and ensure that I go the extra mile to not only meet your needs but go beyond all expectations!I currently live in Dudley having moved to the area in December 2014. I am originally from Halesowen and previously lived in Netherton for 8 years. I am happily married and have three beautiful girls so family life is very active to say the least!Before becoming a Travel Counsellor in 2015, I was a travel agent for a main high street travel agency for over 14 years. Starting as a modern apprentice at 16 years old, (I always knew I wanted to work in travel) I then became a travel consultant after completing NVQ levels 2 & 3 in travel services before eventually completing my management training. In the time I have been in the travel industry, I have also completed different training courses to ensure my knowledge remains in first class and, unsurprisingly, I have travelled all over the world either on my own, with work or with my family.I regularly get asked: "What is your favourite destination?". There are so many and for so many different reasons. I love helping people plan their perfect wedding as I got married in Nissi Bay in Cyprus, so I do have a soft spot for this beautiful island and its luxurious hotels and amazing sights. My most adventurous trip though has to be when I planned an exciting and, at times, breath-taking world tour which covered parts of Asia, Australia, New Zealand and America. I have also been lucky enough to cruise down the Nile in Egypt, meet the big five on safari in Kenya, as well as take in popular destinations in Canada, the Caribbean, Dubai, Hong Kong, an throughout the Mediterranean. I have a great fondness for city breaks with my husband and girls having visited, amongst others, Dublin, Barcelona, Rome, Bruges, Lapland, Iceland as well as getting engaged under the Jet d’Eau in Geneva, one of my personal favourites Reykjavik! I regularly do exclusive group led tours with myself as your guide, So far I have taken groups to Iceland several times, Finland and Italy with many more to come.Being a Travel Counsellor allows me to make it more personal for my customers and being available at convenient times for them, offering them a service that not just anybody can. It makes booking a holiday an exciting job, not a time consuming inconvenience.I would be delighted to hear from you and help to make your dreams become reality.

Hello my name’s Ella and I would like to extend you a very warm welcome to my Travel Counsellor webpage. My appetite for travel started at a very young age when we would take family camping trips to the south of France and then further afield as we got older. I can still remember the anticipation leading up to the trip and almost bursting with excitement by the time we arrived at the airport. I’m happy to report that, whether I’m booking a holiday for my own family or yours, I still feel this way every time I start planning a trip. If you are wondering why I am so well placed to be entrusted with finding your perfect holiday, then keep reading… Throughout my life I have been lucky enough to have travelled all over the world including Italy where I have spent time in Florence, Rome, Venice and Sardinia, and many regions in France including the Cote D’Azur, Le Mans, Disneyland Paris and several city breaks to Paris. I have visited Amsterdam and, on each occasion, enjoyed spending time in some of the best museums and galleries. I have also been fortunate to take many city breaks, Prague, New York, San Francisco, Las Vegas and Edinburgh are among my favourite. I have travelled extensively throughout Cambodia, Vietnam, Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, and the USA including Florida, California and Hawaii.Most of my travelling has been done making memories with my three children and husband. I therefore completely understand the complexities of travelling with children of all ages (my youngest is 5 and my eldest is 23)! I firmly believe that travelling provides learning and character shaping opportunities giving children an incredible insight to into other cultures and the opportunity for adults to experience the world through their children’s enthusiastic and innocent eyes.My favourite ever quote is by Mark Twain: Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that 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 in your sails. EXPLORE. DREAM. DISCOVER.

Hi everyone and welcome to my personal Travel Counsellors webpage! Fun fact: loading this up is your first step towards creating lifelong memories and the best holidays that you've ever been on.That's a pretty big claim and I'm sure there were a few eyes being rolled and some sceptical tutting, but helping you experience things that stay with you forever is why I started on this journey, it's my passion and what all of the Travel Counsellors team and suppliers fully buy in to. Caring about you and your travel companions more than you ever thought a travel agent or tour operator possibly could is what makes the business viable. If you're the kind of person that loves to research, plan & book everything themselves then why not challenge me to see if I can do better? If you don't know where to start, where you want to go, or even what a passport is then I can help with all of that. Use my expertise as little or as much as you want, and if I don't know the answer then I'll ask one of the thousands of colleagues or suppliers I have that are living, working & travelling all across the world. That's the great thing about being a Travel Counsellor - I'm totally independent. You're all different, with unique personalities and things that make you tick so I can use that to match your desires up with the perfect holiday. Remember that whatever your budget, whatever your circumstances, whatever you class as luxury, I will create trips that are for YOU at amazing value. I can create your two-week summer beach holidays, city breaks, honeymoons, cruises, stag/hen parties, road trips, safaris, back-packing, Kilimanjaro climbs, a hotel in Newport for a random FA Cup 3rd round tie and everything in between. However, if it's Disney/Universal/Orlando related then I'll be extra excited on your behalf.What about financially, can you trust me as your Travel Counsellor? Absolutely. Customer funds are held in a trust and we only work with suppliers that agree to be paid once you're home. If things aren't delivered then no ifs, no buts, your money is paid back. Packages are ATOL protected and when Covid-19 hit, guess which company was voted best by MoneySavingExpert for how they dealt with their customers during the pandemic? Travel Counsellors, and by some margin.I could type all day about what sets Travel Counsellors apart, and if you have any other questions about the business then please get in touch. Now a little bit about me. I love to be methodical and plan everything. If a spreadsheet can be made to assist then you can bet your bottom dollar I'll be creating one. This mentality has been fully invested in becoming a Travel Counsellor and should give you the confidence that each part of your itinerary is there for a very well-considered reason. In my spare time I operate a personal chauffeur service for my two wonderful kids to ensure they never miss any of their activities. You may hear me question how often the car needs filling with diesel but watching them train and play for their grassroots teams is probably my 'happy place'. As a family, we love to travel, anything from a Spanish all-inclusive, Orlando theme parks or to sporting events and gigs. We recently transformed a room within our house into a pub including a big screen, memorabilia and dart board where we spend a lot of time with our friends whilst losing to our 10-year old at darts with ever increasing regularity. My contact details can be found on this page and I can make myself available whenever suits. Want to talk holidays after you've put the kids to bed, not a problem. Fancy meeting for a brew and cake whilst going over your requirements - champion! Let's do this.

From incredible honeymoons to cultural escapes, family getaways through to safari adventures, wellness retreats and city breaks. I create truly unforgettable, tailor-made travel experiences for my valued clients. With so much information out there and so many bewildering options, it can soon become overwhelming and stressful.

I love being able to offer my clients a flexible service and often outside of business hours!I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Hi, I'm Jamie from South East London. I have a passion for all things travel and I want to make your travel dreams come true! During a long and fulfilling career in Financial Services, I cultivated my love for travel, enjoying trips all over the world and taking on the role of unofficial travel adviser for my friends, family and colleagues. In 2024, I decided to follow a long held dream and started my own travel business, utilising the incredible community, resources and experience at Travel Counsellors. I can offer trips anywhere in the world and tailor-make experiences for you and your travel companions. Anything from family fun in Florida, to vineyards in Vancouver, to hiking the Himalayas - if you can dream it, I can build it. Your holiday isn't just about the destination, it's about your experience from our very first conversation, to the moment you arrive home. Along the way, things don't always go the way we expect and booking with me means you don't have to solve any issues - simply leave it to me. Don't waste your most precious resource, time, researching an endless list of options and costs - help me understand your needs and budgets and I'll do the rest. Your happiness, peace of mind and satisfaction is my priority. I'm proud that my business is powered by Travel Counsellors. With over 30 years as a fixture in luxury travel, they have built a fantastic reputation combining an ultra-high level of service with tailor-made itineraries to suit all travellers. Their support means that if I'm not an expert on your chosen destination, I have over 2000 peers and a wealth of resources I can gain great insight from. From the best restaurants, to off the beaten track recommendations, to securing event tickets at your destination, I have the answers at my fingertips all thanks to my travel network. Whatever is next on your travel list, the best way for me to send you on a great trip is to understand YOU - get in touch to arrange an informal chat, either over the phone, face to face or via a video call.

I’m Emma, I’m based in the beautiful South West of England, but I work with clients all over the UK. Booking a holiday can be exhausting: firstly you have the destination – with so much of the world out there to choose from and so many places more accessible now than ever before, just deciding where to go can be a headache! And once you know where you want to travel to, you have to manage everything else - the flights, the accommodation, the activities, the transfers – all whilst working to budget and often whilst trying to ensure that the needs of your entire party are met. In today’s environment where we are all time-poor and working harder than ever, a holiday is more important than ever before, and we all want to get every detail just right. This is where I come in. As a Travel Counsellor, I make it my business to make your holiday as stress free as possible. From the moment you make your initial enquiry, I will work closely with you to custom build a bespoke trip from start to finish. I can plan an itinerary that encompasses every single element, or you can simply use me for the basics – it’s completely your choice. Whether you’re looking for a girls trip, a couples getaway, a family holiday, a solo tour or the adventure of a lifetime, I will work with you at every stage of the process, paying close attention to your wishes, needs and budget and adding those extra touches that a traditional travel company won’t do. When you work with me I will do everything I can to make sure that your trip is something that you remember forever – all you have to do is pack a bag and a Passport!To contact me, you can use my contact details on this page. You can also message me through my socials or direct via Whatsapp.

I am proud to have owned my Travel Counsellor franchise for 17 years now.Having studied Travel & Toursim at College I have had a varied and extensive career within the industry I love. From P&O, Princess Cruises, Austravel, Australian Affair, Ebookers, Lasminute.com and Quest Travel I have predominately worked in senior management. I have loved the opportunites my roles have given me by allowing me to visit and explore some of the most beautiful destinations, both long and short haul. As the names imply a number of these companies specialised in Tour Operating to Australasia where I was fortunate enough to visit many times each year including hosting numerous journalists taking them to far flung areas of these beautiful destinations. Austravel saw me living in Manhattan whilst running the North American division of Austravel covering 15 locations including one in Canada.Everything I arrange is bespoke. It does not matter if it's a detailed longhaul holiday or a short city break, it is always put together based on my individual customers needs and requirements, nothing is 'off the shelf' as our requirements are as unique as we are as people.Given my industry experience I prefer not work with mainstream Tour Operators. By working directly with our contracted airlines, hotels, specialist suppliers and local operators I know you will be well looked after at every stage of your holiday. Ensuring you have the best experiences throughout is a priority to me. Indeed the covid years have further reinforced my working practises as I have had to cancel and change so many holidays. This has been done with ease as I have been the one in control alongside the relevant service provider making it simple to obtain refunds or to amend. I am also backed up by an amazing 24/7 team .Not exhaustive but I can arrange: City Breaks, River Cruises, Ocean & Adventure Cruises Longhaul, Shorthaul holidays and detailed multi centre or round the world itineraries. Family, couples or singles holidays. Ski, Lapland Weddings, Honeymoons Private planes, helicopters and yachts. ...... Nothing is ImpossiblePlease feel free to call me so that we can chat about your travel requirements and aspirations. For more convenience you can arrange to meet with me, at a mutually agreeable time, at the Hobo Private Members Club Loughton.I look forward to hearing from you and becoming your Personal Travel Counsellor.VickyIF YOU CAN DREAM IT I CAN CREATE IT.

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!

I have travelled extensively and can confidently pass on my knowledge to help fulfil your holiday dreams. In 2022 I travelled to Majorca , Morocco , Cyprus to participate in a beautiful Wedding, Malaga City , Chania ( Crete ) Canada visiting Toronto Niagara Falls , Quebec , Montreal and Ottawa and was also very lucky to sail on Regent Seven Seas Voyager with a stay in Rome - what a great year catching up on amended and cancelled trips from the last few years. My favourite place has to be Mauritius - my idea of heaven. Beautiful hotels, beaches, service and standards all in all perfect and a very special destination. I have also been on many cruises both European and in the Caribbean, through the Panama Canal which was a truly amazing experience which I will remember forever. Antigua and Grenada came very close to Mauritius both amazing special destinations. I also love Florida I have been around 15 times so know it very well, I could talk to you about Florida for hours! I became a Personal Travel Counsellor because quite simply I take pride in offering the highest level of personalised customer service to my many clients. I love my job which I think is what has helped me build such a successful business as a Personal Travel Counsellor over the last 20 years. I am proud to be a Travel Counsellor, we offer a great service and huge commitment to our customers and now as a company have a 24 hour duty office so there is always someone there for you as well as myself.I have worked in the travel industry for 39 years now, originally working for two multiples on the high street where I progressed to management levels prior to starting a family. I chose to join Travel Counsellors 20 years ago because they care about their customers, working with state of the art technology and offer fantastic head office support to assist me in my role. I have a huge client base now and most of my customers have become personal friends. They help me by passing my details to their colleagues, friends and family which now means I am busy most of the year and as my children are now 28 and 27 years old and need less attention I have more time though our Grandchildren aged 11 , 4 and 1 do keep me busy. I do love the fact that I can work much more flexible hours to suit my customers' needs as they can contact me at any time of the day or night whichever suits them best whether that be a weekend or an evening.I aim to give the highest possible customer service and to ensure that every travel arrangement meets and better still, exceeds your expectations. Allow me to turn your dream holiday into reality. I really will look after you. The industry changes constantly but a key aspect now in travel is that you are looked after if you need us whilst overseas ....I feel this has brought many clients back to me over the years as there is nothing worse than something going wrong whilst you are away and you have no one to discuss it with, all my clients have my personal mobile number as I do theirs to keep an eye on them whilst they are away.I very much look forward to speaking to you , please feel free to give me a call.

Many parts of the USA (from trekking in the Rockies to skydiving in Las Vegas and much more in between!) Canada, Cuba, Jamaica, Cyprus, Turkey, Greek Islands, many parts of Spain, The Algarve, and countless other European cities and beach destinations.

Hi, I’m Sarah your Travel Counsellor based in Essex.My enthusiasm for all things travel has given me a very happy and successful 27-year career, working for leading travel companies and arranging bespoke itineraries that span the globe.My curiosity for travel has been there from a young age and I can remember as a child looking at the airport departure boards and thinking where can we go next? The excitement of visiting a new destination has never diminished.I’ve been lucky enough to travel to over 50 countries across six continents. From horseback riding in Argentina, climbing Mount Kinabalu in Borneo, to hot air ballooning across the Serengeti. If you have that trip of a lifetime planned it’s likely that I’ve visited it!Each holiday I arrange is unique and tailored to your specific requirements. I really care about your holiday experience and find it’s the fine details that make a good holiday, a great one, creating the best memories.My expertise lies in long haul travel from honeymoons and anniversaries, to milestone birthday celebrations, however as a mum of three children ranging in age from 7 to 14 years, I recognise the importance of finding the right destination and balance, for the best family holidays, from long haul adventures to Europe’s best kept secrets.

Starting my own business and setting up with Travel Counsellors is something that feels so natural, I wonder why I didn’t do it sooner. Having spent my career to date in events and luxury hospitality, I feel so passionately about delivering a personal service to clients to make their lives easier and less stressful. I love everything about travel from a fly and flop holiday to backpacking around the lesser known parts of South East Asia, travel has always been a part of my life and a true passion of mine.To me, the idea of having a Travel Counsellor that you know and trust, is like having a personal assistant to manage any and all aspects of what travel and holidays mean to you. Getting to know clients, understanding their needs and requirements, what makes them tick and learning about what they want from a trip is what makes me love doing what I do. For me, researching a new place or putting together an itinerary for a client doesn’t really feel like work and when I say I can research, I will find out everything there is to know to ensure it really will deliver what you’re looking for. As a working mum to 2 young children, having the flexibility to work when and where I want is also a dream come true. I am available to chat (on the phone or online) whenever it suits you, and where possible, would always suggest a meeting in person so I can really get to know you. In the current day, where life sometimes seems impossibly busy, and the internet, whilst it has it’s many benefits, can also leave us feeling overwhelmed and caught in a rabbit hole, I am here to take away any stress that booking a holiday or a trip away may cause. Taking time out of our busy lives has never been more important. Booking with Travel Counsellors doesn’t just mean working with me; you also have the full support of our award winning head office team so if there’s ever a problem, we are all here to support and make sure you get sorted so you can get back to relaxing. All bookings are ATOL protected and have full financial protection.Whatever the enquiry, large or small, I would be delighted to help so I look forward to hearing from you soon.

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