    Hi I'm Michael, thanks for reading my webpage.I am a travel expert based in Leeds with 37 years’ experience and I offer a bespoke service tailored to my clients' individual requirements. I arrange group, leisure and corporate travel to all parts of the world. My areas of speciality include travel to Europe, Southern Africa (especially amazing South Africa where I can offer a range of unique, sustainably focussed experiences that no one else in the UK travel trade offers), and also the Caribbean, United States & Asia. I am committed to playing my part in seeing that travel becomes more sustainable. Tourism is a key driver of many countries' economies, and we need to ensure that the benefits of it are shared fairly. In partnership with UK charity The Travel Foundation, I have undertaken training on sustainable travel practices, and conducted research into this subject in order to develop a range of tourist experiences in South Africa. These are focussed on ensuring there is the maximum possible economic benefit in the destination, and that this is shared as widely as possible. I am also recognised as a South Africa Specialist by South Africa Tourism in London. If you're looking for something a bit more personal and bespoke than what the high street chains and internet offer, and if you like the idea of having a professional look after your travel arrangements, saving you time, hassle and money. please give me a call for a chat - or send a message from the link on my webpage.Best wishesMichael

    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,

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

    I have always loved travelling; the opportunity to visit exciting countries and experience diverse cultures is surely one of life’s greatest luxuries. I have taken that passion for travel into my work as I love arranging holidays and booking trips for my clients. I offer a bespoke, personal service backed-up by years of experience in the travel industry. I have the instincts to recognise what clients want as well as the knowledge of how to find the best bookings for them. The Travel Counsellors network provides all the support necessary to make sure that through me you will receive the best possible care and the best possible deals.In my time I have been lucky enough to travel across almost every continent on the planet – Antarctica remains a goal for the future! My favourite part of the world remains the Far East; not least because it brings back happy memories from my honeymoon in Burma but also due to wonderful trips to Cambodia, Borneo and Thailand amongst others. The levels of service, care and attention to detail that you receive as a guest in the Far East always amazes me and always has me longing to go back.In addition to the Far East I have travelled through India, Australia and New Zealand, the Amazonian rain forest and the Masai Mara. The two most striking places that I have visited must be the awe-inspiring Angkor Wat in Cambodia and Utah’s Monument Valley – not least due to its complete contrast to nearby Las Vegas.It’s not just exotic holidays that I can help you with. I also have extensive knowledge of European destinations as well as within the British Isles and I am here to help you with every type of booking.Like you I expect the highest standards when I travel. As my client you can rest easy knowing that all your travel needs will be looked after to the highest possible degree throughout your booking and holiday experience.

I have every piece of information you need at my fingertips ensuring I book the right holiday for you. Ask me anything you like! Are there enough sunbeds? When is hurricane season? What’s the area like outside the hotel or are there lots of steps? What about free child places? I’ll know the answer, so with me you really do get far more than you would by just booking online.

    Hello, my name is John. I live in rural, Leicestershire. I’m a Kiwi living in the UK for the past 25 years. I initially came to England to play cricket, but soon realised my enthusiasm and love for the game outweighed my skills! So, I turned to another of my passions, travel. Which I have worked in ever since.Before becoming a Travel Counsellor, I have worked in various roles in airline operations customer services and for tour operators. In these roles, I have been lucky enough to travel to over 50 countries with excellent first-hand knowledge of New Zealand, Australia, USA, Singapore, UAE, Bangkok, Hong Kong, South Africa, Kenya, Morocco, Venezuela, Uruguay, Brazil, Argentina and most of the Caribbean and Europe. I have had some truly interesting and wonderful experiences along the way. My passion for travel started as a boy growing up in the small, fragrant (those that visit will know why) city of Rotorua. I was fascinated by all these foreigners who were visiting which sparked something inside of me to want to do the same one day. I can find you the perfect bespoke holiday that suits your every need and I can take the stress out of you looking through 100's of websites. I will also take care of every aspect of your trip including airport parking, transfers, Visas, excursions to name just a few.As a Travel Counsellor, I use the very latest technology and working with all the leading tour operators I can offer the best value, best choice available.

Before becoming a Travel Counsellor I worked for over 15 years in the city on a busy trading floor for Bank of America, a big American investment bank selling Fixed Income products.

Friends and family have sought my holiday advice for years knowing I do that extensive, in-depth research, demand high quality, expect good value, love lots of luxury and I know just how important holidays are!But here we are 7 years on drawing on those years of experience in booking my own family holidays - young kids to now demanding teens, I know exactly how important it is to ensure it meets everyone’s requirements. We’ve had many luxury holidays in Dubai, Oman, Maldives, Abu Dhabi and had equally amazing experiences, making memories travelling extensively in Europe and travel annually to Greece (as my father is Greek) so that country is dear to me. Whilst luxury has its place it’s also nice to experience the culture and the authenticity of a country too. I work from home, I have many local clients but so many are based all over the UK, some are abroad too. With 24/7 Duty office support, in-depth training Travel Counsellors and my growing passion for travel and lovely clients I really have the dream job!

    01780 490 020 Stamford

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

    Travel is in my blood; having grown up with my Mum working from her home office as an independent travel agent, booking holidays all over the world for clients and our family, a passion for travel has been passed down to me and has only grown over time.As such as big part of my own life I wanted to help others to experience the world and all the amazing places, people and experiences it has to offer, and that is when I decided like mother like daughter to turn my hand to planning bespoke holidays for other people.I love nothing more than talking travel, taking the time to listen and understand what someone is looking for from their trip, then sharing my own personal experience and professional advice to put your dream trips together! I have personally travelled to 52 countries now across Africa, Asia, Australasia, Europe and the Americas (Antarctica is on my bucket list!) and love exploring new destinations as well as visiting firm favourites time and time again (Mauritius, South Africa and Greece all being up there). I have travelled in all manner of styles from luxury all-inclusive hotels to backpacking across continents, I’m a qualified skipper and have sailed all over the world and love nothing more than road-tripping through a country to truly get a feel for the culture and destination. I’ve worked in travel for a few years now and have booked incredible trips for my clients including: - Month long self-drive tours of Australia and New Zealand (including helicoptering over glaciers and fishing in the fjords ) - African Safaris spotting the Big 5 - Honeymoons across the Indian Ocean, with added romantic touches - Stunning overwater villas in the Maldives spotting giant rays from their terrace - Family holidays to Mauritius and the Caribbean - Anniversary trips to picturesque Greek islands - Luxury island hopping in The Seychelles - Expedition cruises to the Arctic Circle to spot polar bears - Florida fun with Disney, the Everglades and white sandy beaches - European city breaks with fine-dining in castles - Solo travellers on organised tours to the spiritual sites of India - Historical and gastronomy bespoke tours of the Silk Road - Adventure filled trips to Latin America - Cultural exploration and surfing in Sri Lanka - … and much, much more!Whilst I love to be able to advise on places I have personally been I also have a network of fellow Travel Counsellors to go to for extra advice and work with brilliant worldwide suppliers in destination that help me to put together tailor-made itineraries with off the beaten track spots and unique local experiences.

  • Elaine Simpson

    01422 897490 Hebden Bridge

    My name is Elaine Simpson: I live in Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire with my husband, Rod Bailey, who is a retired fine art lecturer. My passion is Australia - I’ve been a Tourism Australia Aussie Specialist for many years, visiting over 20 times; plus I’m a New Zealand Kiwi specialist and an expert in Round the World journeys. Closer to home I love to sail on Star Clippers traditional sailing ships and have crossed the Med with them several times. My 40+ years travel experience started in university travel offices which gave me an unrivalled knowledge of airline and rail routes and off-the-beaten-track destinations, as many of the students and lecturers came from, or travelled to, some far-out places! In 1989 I started my own travel agency for independent travellers and was presented to HRH the Prince of Wales having won a competition for start-up businesses in the Calderdale area. Late in June 2008 I joined Travel Counsellors and closed that business down and – one of the best decisions I have made in my career. I’ve travelled widely throughout Australasia, North America, Asia, Europe, Mexico and South Africa; have specialist accreditations also for Singapore, Hong Kong, Dubai etc, so I can offer a comparable service to all regions with the extensive and highly professional support of Travel Counsellors. Despite travelling extensively, my own wish-list never gets any shorter: in the past few years I have spent most winters in Tenerife and have visited India, Morocco, Australia, Greece, Turkey, Italy, Holland, Denmark, Barbados, Mexico, Thailand, New Orleans: and I’ll go anywhere else given half a chance! When I’m not booking travel, or travelling, I love to draw and paint and many of my pictures are inspired by the people and places I have met and seen along the way. When travelling I like to get off the beaten track and try out new experiences with a combination of action and relaxation and that is the kind of trip I excel in arranging. Therefore, whatever your idea of a good time, talk to me about it and together we’ll find the perfect trip for you! There’s a place in everyone’s life for a little self-indulgence and hedonism - we all need times to chill out - whether you find it in 5-star luxury or in a simple beach hut, I’ll go that extra mile to find the perfect place for you to relax and recharge your batteries. Whatever your travel needs I’d be delighted to help and can either meet you or arrange it via email or phone- so distance is no object in more ways than one! I look forward to hearing from you.

    Firstly, congratulations for landing safely on my page, which means one of two things, you misspelt ''Kuoni Kettering" in Google, or you’re very serious about your holidays and you're looking for travel done differently. If it's the former, then there isn't one in Kettering (see I'm helping already). If it's the latter, then let's grab a coffee and make a start... It’s a travel service, travel agency type-thingy but it’s different? Essentially yes, it's about fantastic personal service. Which means you can contact me at any time and you'll always get me. It means that I remember that last year you wanted to go to Borneo but your eldest broke his leg on the stupid skateboard that you told your mother she shouldn't buy him for Christmas. I remember that you prefer American Airlines business to BA... because of the ice cream sundaes... Right, well that's all good then. But it's not really just me looking after you and the two of us chatting endlessly on WhatsApp over which is the nicest bit of Bali when I should actually be getting my son ready for school. I'm in cahoots with the multi-award winning Travel Counsellors, a company that provides a global network of travel goodness (GNTG, it's a thing, promise) that means you and I can just relax and get back to discussing Disney Dining packages while they sit quietly in the background, doing what they do. They use their financial muscle so that I can offer you incredible deals, and absolutely guarantee every penny you spend through their financial trust. And as we debate why some of the lounges at Dubai airport really are so much better than others, they’re doing exciting things like the ATOL bonding, and making sure there’s always someone on the end of the phone for you if you need it. No matter what the time, or the time zone. You don’t do ‘normal’ holidays then? I most certainly do but I suppose in essence what I do is make normal trips amazing! That Virgin South Africa trip where you liked everything except day 6 of the itinerary? Then I'll break the whole thing down for you and we'll get rid of 'day at leisure', build in a Blue Safari and repackage it all up for you. I've got access to all the major travel suppliers and can add all the extras too, so the car that means you can get you to Gatwick while you finish the presentation you've been procrastinating over for 3 weeks, or the lounge that takes you closer to gin, and further from the airport Frankie and Benny's. We’ve got this far then, and you’re probably thinking why me? Not in the unexpected-item-in-the-bagging-area-for-the-fourth-time-kinda way, but in the who-is-this-woman-who’s-made-me-a-fake-coffee-and-rambled-on-about-holidays-for-three-paragraphs-kinda-way. I’m Beth (Hi!) Without giving too much away, I started my career in travel back when everyone thought Let Loose were the new NKOTB. Travel makes me me, and I’ve visited dozens of countries across five continents. Bluntly it’s an obsession I bore my husband with every evening. So if it can’t be me experiencing what it’s like to peer over the grand canyon, or feel the bounce of the seaplane skimming the azure that surrounds my paradise Maldivian island then I’ll do all in my power to make it feel for you like it did for me. So, with coffee dwindling and muffin finished (there was a muffin?!), I hope I've given you a sense of what travel done differently with me and with Travel Counsellors can mean.PS: You can contact me about literally any kind of trip, that honeymoon you’re finally planning (can’t believe he took so long to ask you!), that annual cruise around the Caribbean (I’m a bit of a cruise expert/bore to be honest – love a cruise), a romantic weekend getaway to New York, that long imagined Canada road trip, or just a beach to plonk yourself on (anywhere) for two weeks in the Summer.Maybe worth saying as well, there is no fee for my service. The many many travel suppliers I use sort me out, which is why I had a coffee AND a muffin!

  • Hamish McInnes

    Thank you for visiting my page. Let me introduce myself. I have worked in travel for over 36 years. I used to manage a local high street agency and I have also taught travel part-time at the Isle of Wight College.I have been fortunate to visit many countries including New Zealand, Australia, Peru, South Africa, Sri Lanka, the Maldives, Argentina, Brazil, Thailand, North America and Canada plus a host of destinations closer to home.It is hard to pick my favourite destination because there are so many. All countries offer their own history, diversity and culture which is what makes travel so enriching. Each trip becomes a personal discovery. Some of my most memorable experiences include visiting Machu Picchu in Peru where I climbed Huayna Picchu (Young Mountain); another includes taking a jet-boat ride on the Shotover River and a balloon flight over the Canterbury Plains during a visit to South Island in New Zealand. Similarly, witnessing the dramatic Iguazu Falls on the Brazilian/Argentine border by helicopter rates equally as memorable.During my career, I have seen many changes within the travel industry and as an agent, it is important to adapt to these changes. In 2015 I joined Travel Counsellors to offer a more bespoke, flexible service and to be part of a network of travel professionals, where customer service is a core value.Not only am I passionate about my job I am dedicated to it. I enjoy doing the research to give my clients competitive options with reliable suppliers coupled with a more personal service. A holiday, after all, is often a considered purchase and it is important to know it is in safe hands.So whether you are planning a long-haul itinerary or a short UK break or considering an ocean cruise or a boating holiday or taking to the slopes for a winter ski trip or a relaxing get-away-from-it-all beach holiday, I am on hand to help find that holiday that best suits your needs. I have experience in arranging anything from school groups, family holidays or an emergency last-minute flight. At Travel Counsellors I have access to award-winning technology and resources and moreover, I am on hand at hours to suit you. Even if you just need impartial, unbiased advice, please contact me. I look forward to hearing from you.

    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

That they sell the world?Being an independent travel advisor franchisee, but working with a multi award winning global company, I provide a unique travel service, using award-winning technology to tailor make travel plans, both leisure and corporate.

I am also a nominated South Africa and Vancouver Specialist.But how am I different? Unlike many high street travel agents, I am completely independent and have links to 1000s of airlines, cruise lines and hotels globally, all at the click of a button.

    Hi, my name is John and I am a Travel Counsellor based in Blyth on the beautiful Northumberland coast.Are you looking forward to a holiday but don’t want the stress of researching locations, hotels, and flights yourself? Worried about whether those online reviews are reliable or if you’ve missed something important in your itinerary? Do you dream of a trip tailored entirely to you, so you can simply relax and enjoy the experience?If so, you’ve come to the right place. My mission is to provide a completely personal service – from your very first enquiry right through to the moment you return home – so all you need to do is pack your bags and have the time of your life. I’ll take care of everything: researching and planning, securing the best arrangements, thinking through the little details that make a big difference, and being there whenever you need me.As a vegan myself, I understand how challenging it can be to travel with specific dietary requirements – especially when hotels or destinations aren’t set up for them. That’s why I can create holidays that take the stress out of finding suitable dining options, whether that’s securing vegan-friendly hotels, arranging restaurant recommendations, or building itineraries that celebrate plant-based cuisine.I also believe travel should have a positive impact, both on you and the world around you. I can help you choose options that support local communities, promote ethical wildlife experiences, and reduce environmental impact – so your holiday is not only memorable for you, but also meaningful for the people and places you visit.My own travel experiences span from childhood holidays in the UK to multi-destination adventures in South East Asia and beyond. I believe every holiday – whether big or small, hot or cold, adventurous or relaxing – should be special. By taking the time to talk with you at a time that suits you, I’ll design a trip that reflects what truly matters to you, filled with the kind of moments you’ll look back on fondly for years to come.Alongside my personal expertise, I have access to a global network of fellow Travel Counsellors and local specialists, so wherever you want to go, I can handcraft a quote packed with hidden gems and authentic experiences. You’ll also have the reassurance of 24/7 support from both myself and our Duty Office, plus complete financial protection through ATOL and the unique Travel Counsellors Trust Fund.So, whether you already have a destination in mind or are looking for inspiration, the first step to your most memorable, worry-free holiday is just a phone call away.Your perfect holiday, designed around you – your tastes, your values, and your way of travelling.

    Jon Stubberfield

    01635 766006 Newbury, Berkshire

    Hi I’m Jon! I live in Berkshire with my partner Maria and 2 house rabbits! When we’re not all hopping around the house, we’re either out walking, eating or listening to live music.I’ve personally visited Australia, Canada, China, Caribbean, Egypt, Europe, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Maldives, Morocco, Seychelles, Singapore, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Thailand, UAE, USA (California, Florida, Louisiana, Nevada, Texas). I’ve enjoyed enduring overnight sleeper trains, tents and hostels, and relished relaxing in lavish hotels, 5-star dining and business class flights. Memorable Travel Experience: Whilst travelling alone in Hong Kong, I took a glass bottom cabin on the sky-rail from Tung Chung to the Tian Tan Buddha and Po Lin Monastery. The sun was beginning to set, and the last cabin was due to depart… but I wasn’t having that! I decided to hike to the bottom along the Wisdom Path, it’s surrounded by forest, overlooks the Tung Chung Bay and I didn’t see another person for 2 hours. As I reached the bottom I jumped on a random bus, that took me to a fishing village, Mui Who, where I had dinner with the locals. Luckily, there was a ferry terminal there that took me from the serene Lantau Island back to bustling Hong Kong. The darkness of the evening was obliterated by the Symphony of Lights display that greeted me as I arrived back at the bay. It was an accidental, day of exploration where everything just clicked into place without even trying, sometimes the best experiences are the ones that aren’t planned. As the world becomes more accessible, our horizons may be expanded. Whether you venture adventure, dream of sleeping on the beach, or you’re dashing for discovery, I have over 20,000 hours of travel industry experience with a breadth of knowledge in a multitude of worldwide destinations. I spend time envisioning the tangible experience before I even go near the physical planning of a holiday, then I make the magic happen. I’ve a background with a popular travel company in which I offered bespoke itineraries, with additional specialisms in business class travel and cruise. More recently as a corporate travel consultant in the banking industry, I know where to draw the line between fluffy and practical. Favourite sayings: ‘We don’t have problems, just solutions.’ & ‘Don’t let fear stand in the way of your dreams.’

With travel being so important to me understandably I want to see the world and have already managed to travel to many of the States of America, numerous Caribbean islands, Greek islands and cities across Europe, the Far East including Thailand, the Middle East, Oman and Egypt, India, the Indian Ocean and Namibia in Africa.

I specialise in worldwide long haul destinations, cruises, family holidays, touring holidays, weddings, honeymoons, ski breaks, city and country weekend breaks, worldwide ski, rail holidays and in business travel. No itinerary is too big or too small nor are there such thing as silly questions, please don’t ever hesitate to ask. I often get asked where my favourite destinations are and for me a holiday must have some aspects of relaxation mixed with plenty to do, lots to see and new experiences to undertake. In Europe the destination for this would be, the Greek islands and Italy. In the USA, my number one state would be California. The Middle East, Oman, although if you are into history like me, Egypt is a must. In the Indian Ocean, by far the best is Mauritius. In the Far East I’d always pick Thailand, it’s so diverse. I also am a lover of cruises and have been fortunate to have been on quite a few. My best trip ever has to be Namibia. In 2005 I was fortunate to fly to Windhoek, Namibia when we then drove to Ongava on the edge of the Etosha National Park. This is one of the best places to see the ‘big five’ and it lived up to all expectations. We then travelled to Sossusvlei to see the sand dunes, another must see. Followed by, Swakopmund to see dolphins and the Skeleton Coast which is home to millions of seals. Adding in some history we visited Twyfelfontein to see the ancient rock engravings and drove through Damaraland to see the desert elephants. We stayed in the most beautiful individual luxury lodges for 3 nights, making the most of the early morning and evening game drives. We ended the trip with a visit to the world famous Africat Foundation in Okinjima to see the cheetahs which truly was the cherry on top of a fantastic trip.I regularly post offers and deals on my social media, so make sure you check out my page and give me a follow to make sure you don’t miss out.

    01603501528 Norwich

    Welcome to Travel Counsellors. My name is William and I live in Norwich, where I have been based in between bouts of travel for the last 45 plus years. Now in my thirteenth year with Travel Counsellors, I am passionate about travel and have been lucky enough to visit all seven continents, spending time in over one hundred countries; from Australia to Zimbabwe, Austria to Zambia. I am married with a fifteen year old daughter, who already has her fair share of passport stamps! Alex is now twelve and doing his best to catch up with his big sister, although he does prefer it at home!I joined Travel Counsellors as I wanted to concentrate on giving my customers the highest possible levels of personal service and independent travel advice. Travel Counsellors is one of the largest independent travel agencies in the UK. Before becoming a Travel Counsellor in January 2009, I was a travel consultant with another large independent agency in the UK and prior to that I worked as a flight attendant with British Airways and Air UK. I studied Interpreting and Translation (French and German) at the University of East Anglia, and can also converse in Spanish, Dutch and Italian, should the need arise. This can be very helpful when making special requests for clients directly with hotels, tour companies and airlines.After my studies, I spent nearly three years roaming the globe on an ‘extended’ honeymoon incorporating a special wedding gift of an Antarctic cruise from the southern tip of Argentina. Other trips include extensive travel through Southern and East Africa, USA, Canada, South America, Australia, New Zealand, numerous smaller islands in the Pacific (Fiji, Cook Islands, Tonga and Samoa, among others) and time in South East Asia (Malaysia, Thailand, Laos to name but a few) and the Far East. The cruising bug has also caught me - I have first-hand experience of A-Rosa, Riviera Travel's river cruise boats, AMA Waterways, Regent Seven Seas, Fred Olsen, Azamara Cruise Club, Silverseas, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL), Princess, Gap Adventures and Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC).I can offer you up to date, first-hand knowledge of many countries, can guarantee to be enthusiastic about your booking (and only a little envious!) and save you the time and stress of carrying out your own research. So, be it short stays in the UK and the rest of Europe, honeymoons abroad, fly-drives in the USA or complicated round-the-world itineraries, please do contact me; I look forward to hearing from you.Best wishes,

    Hi, thank you for taking the time to visit my web page. My name is Julie Welfare and I am your Travel Counsellor based in Walton On Thames. I have been in the travel industry for over 30 years. I began in local high street agencies and was soon putting together complex round the world itineraries for a major UK tour operator. I have had my own business with Travel Counsellors for the last 16 years. Travel is my passion; meeting new people and trying out new experiences. I have been lucky enough to visit many exciting destinations around the world; the USA, Mexico, the Caribbean islands, Hong Kong, Singapore, Bali, Thailand, Malaysia, Japan, China, India, Sri Lanka, Mauritius, Dubai, the Maldives, South Africa, Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific, as well as many destinations a little closer to home such as Iceland, the Azores and many of the popular skiing and summer sun destinations in Europe.Just a few of my treasured memories include riding camels towards a vibrant sunset at Ayers Rock, swimming in the jade-coloured ocean off Western Australia with wild dolphins swooping below us, marvelling at the view from the top of Sydney Harbour Bridge with a majestic cruise ship, blindingly white in the sunshine, gliding beneath the ironwork below, and feeling the surge of adrenalin as I launched myself off the original bungy bridge in New Zealand accompanied by the blare of rock music - the lyrics still make me smile and my heart race!One of my favourite holidays was to Africa where the highlights of my trip included a thrilling microlight flight over the magnificent Victoria Falls, almost being upturned out of a tiny boat by a hippo in the Okavango Delta and tracking a lioness on foot.I can help you with your dream holiday whether it is your Honeymoon, a holiday to celebrate a special occasion, or a once-in-a-lifetime round the world trip. My specialist areas are the Caribbean, the Indian Ocean, Africa, the Far East, Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific. I am proud to be a Premier Aussie Specialist.
