Hello, my name is Laura and I am based in West Byfleet, Surrey.My passion for travel started back on 9th May 1995 (that’s right – I remember the exact date!) I was 11 years old and I went on my first long haul flight to Florida. I loved the whole experience. The bustle of the airport, the flight, arriving somewhere I’d never been before, the food and then of course, Disney – I loved it all. I’ll never forget that trip – and come the 9th May each year, I remember “what a holiday!” that was. Money well spent, hey!Fast forward (almost!!) 30 years! I now have 2 children of my own and there is nothing we enjoy more as a family than exploring our wonderful world together. My passion for both travel and customer service is second to none, and having been disappointed on occasions with the service I have received, I’ve thought “I can do this so much better”. So here I am, opening myself up to you as your own personal Travel Counsellor. With the support of the award winning Travel Counsellors brand behind me, I’ll take care of all the details, and you take care of the memories. All safe in the knowledge that everything you book with me is 100% financially protected against supplier failure by either ATOL or the Travel Counsellors Trust, giving you absolute peace of mind. I pride myself on offering a full and comprehensive service. From short to long haul; luxury to low cost; multi destinations to all-inclusive resorts; from sun to ski… and sea to sand! Drawing on my own experiences having travelled extensively around the USA, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Australia and South Africa, I truly believe I can create the holiday of your dreams, whatever that might be.I like to think I have a ‘few’ specialist areas: • Japan. We lived in the heart of Tokyo with 2 small children who both attended the British School in Shibuya. This was a unique and incredible experience giving us the platform to explore this fascinating part of the world. • USA. From East to West coast; the Sunshine State of Florida to Music City in Nashville; to the lights and sounds of New York to Las Vegas; from Route 66 to Pacific Highway 1! • Disney. Having visited parks in Florida, Paris, and Tokyo, I know a ‘few’ things Disney! • Italy – extensively travelled from North to South. Skiing in the Alps, city breaks in Rome, Venice, Milan and Florence, to private villas in rural towns. • Australia – Perth and the wine region of Margaret River on the West coast… to travelling the East coast from Carins to The Great Barrier Reef; Byron Bay to Sydney. • South Africa - I’ve explored the Garden Route, from Table Mountain in Cape Town, the wine tours of Franschhoek and seeing the Big Five on safari. I truly love all things travel, and with me it really is personal. It's time to make your memories, so give me a call and let's get planning.

My name is Eleanor Swan and I live in Marple Bridge, nestled between Manchester and the Peak District, with my husband and 2 young sons.My career in the travel industry has spanned the last 2 decades, and has taken me from a retail shop in London, via Melbourne, to the last 12 years in Manchester managing the office of a global business travel management company, and now 3 years at Travel Counsellors for Business.Having worked in travel for over 20 years, I think it’s safe to say that I’ve seen it all! I’m a great problem solver – there is always a solution! I love my job, particularly building relationships and understanding the exact requirements of my clients. This level of care, combined with an obsessive attention to detail and excellent business travel knowledge, means I can offer a truly personal service and make your business travel as easy, cost-effective and enjoyable an experience as possible. I have worked with a wide range of clients (from sole traders to global organisations) across most industries, ranging from Olympic teams, to management consultants, to entertainment venues. I can offer full account management services, including reporting, cost savings analysis and travel policy guidance.Being part of Travel Counsellors means I have the freedom and flexibility to truly focus on providing this exceptional service, whilst having the support, 24/7 assistance and financial protection for clients that Travel Counsellors offer.I am also passionate about travelling more sustainably and helping clients reduce their carbon footprint. I can offer creative solutions to do this, such as train travel instead of flights, combining destinations in the most efficient manner, and ensuring your hotels are in the most convenient location thus minimising local travel.Personally, I have travelled to 48 countries – the highlights being long overland trips from Canada down to Honduras, and from Singapore across China and Russia all the way back to London. Nowadays I’m happy to stay closer to home – travelling by train down to the Alps for family skiing holidays, or driving up to the Highlands with our bikes, along with occasional trips to visit family in Australia.Please don’t hesitate to contact me to discuss how I can help you with your business travel.

Hi, I’m Zoe, your Independent Travel Agent and Cruise Ambassador for Travel Counsellors. With over 40 years’ experience in both leisure and business travel, I bring first-hand knowledge and a truly personal service. Whether it’s a family holiday, a cruise, a business trip, or a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, I’ll tailor everything to you—without the stress of endless online searching.As a Cruise Ambassador, I’ve sailed with many different lines and on many different ships, so I can match you to the right cruise experience. I’ve also explored destinations including Santorini (a personal favourite), California on fly-drives, and Sydney, where my family live—meaning my recommendations come from real experience.My clients return year after year, and I’m available when they need me, not just 9 to 5. In the ever changing world of the internet, and the speed that companies are born, bred and disappear, people are at last waking up to the fact that booking your travel arrangements through faceless internet sites is not all it’s cracked up to be. The thing that really worries the real travel experts is the lack of assistance and financial protection that these sites offer. Travel Counsellors has the best financial protection in the industry! I have 86% repeat business which is the best recommendation I could ever have.I have recently returned from Santorini, where I have holidayed for the past 14 years, and we will of course return next year! I took my first cruise in 2006 and have been bitten by the bug and I would thoroughly recommend cruising too! I love to visit new countries and for me this year has been Poland, Vietnam, Bali and Qatar. Feel free to get in touch to see how I can take the stress away from planning your next trip!Best wishes, Zoe

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!

Hi there and thank you for taking the time to visit my webpage.My name is Julie and like many of my fellow TC's, travel is my primary interest and passion in life and has been for as long as I can remember. If I had to choose my favourite country then it has to be Spain. I just adore Spain, which I think started from my childhood from the fabulous family holidays we had but then I went on to study Spanish at School, College and then University where I spent each summer working a full season in the gorgeous sunshine. My Uni Placement was in a Spanish Travel Agency and then my first job after Uni was with Iberia Airlines where I spent 3.5 fabulous year and my career had only just begun. Fortunately for me, my parents have an apartment on the South Coast, so I get to spend a lot of time in Andalucia. Aside from Spain, I am a big skier and have had the pleasure of skiing in the Alps, Pyrenees, Sierra Nevada, Milky Way. I haven’t just restricted myself to Europe, I have been to various US States, UAE, Mauritius, Seychelles, Malaysia, Vietnam, South Africa & the Caribbean.I love a good City Break, a beach holiday, a touring holiday, winter break, a cruise – you name it, I love it. Pinch me trips for meare always my ski trips but I loved Lapland and still get goosebumps from the South African Safari. I have a team I work with here at Travel Counsellors who all specialise in different countries and products, so no matter what your dream is for your next trip, please do speak to me, so I can make sure they come true.

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

Welcome and thank you for visiting my webpage.I became a Travel Counsellor after a long and distinguished career at two of the UK's leading tour operators and wanting to re-introduce the values of what a tour operator/travel agent should be offering you. Booking a holiday or a business trip is more than a simple retail transaction. It is more important than that to you and it is more important than that to me. It is something that is personal and should be handled with the care and attention it deserves.Being a Travel Counsellor means that we can offer you what you require – it isn’t limited to one supplier or one product, it is a means to be independent and offer you what you want, be that a speedy process, an in-depth discussion about a destination, a hotel or a mode of transport, the most luxury or the best value. Each requirement is different but we are experienced in understanding travel. More often than not you will want to discuss and plan your holidays and business trips over the phone/videocall although I am happy to meet in person too.My own personal travel experience spans approximately ninety countries from the incredibly exotic Maldives and Mauritius (including my own wedding) to the more adventurous India, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Guatemala and Japan, to the business hubs of New York, Hong Kong and Singapore. So, whether you are looking for a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Australia and New Zealand, your annual winter holiday to the Caribbean, a family holiday to USA or a romantic weekend in Paris there are a multitude of holidays that can be arranged to suit you for your next adventure. As you can probably tell I am passionate about most places I have travelled to (and places still on the to do travel list) but do give me a call and we can even discuss my other favourites that I haven't even mentioned here. I also enjoy documenting my travels in the journals that you can read below along with trying to improve my photography which you can see within them.With all Travel Counsellors, we pride ourselves on the service we provide and the value this brings to our customers. We are all independent, meaning we can provide you with the holiday you require and we can design it to suit your needs and desires. All types of holidays can be catered for from cruises to adventure tours to tailormade holidays to business trips and private tours.It may be an itinerary that you find daunting to put together yourself, or you just want the reassurance of being able to contact someone at any time either before you go or while you are away or it may be that you like to have that feeling of being financially protected or someone to help with giving you good value and inspiration and ideas, we can do all this and more.I very much look forward to hearing from you and discussing your travel plans.

“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step” Planning your next trip away? Let me help you create your dream holiday with a bespoke and tailor-made itinerary. I pride myself on my customer service and being personal, working with you to find the best holiday for you, whilst using my knowledge and passion for travel. Hello and welcome to my page. My name is Lucie and I am originally from North Yorkshire in the UK. I recently relocated back to South Manchester, after spending 13 years in Dubai. I moved to Dubai in 2011, with my Husband, to follow our dreams of living abroad. Our son was born in Dubai 8 years ago and has also developed a passion for travel, going on his first cruise around the Mediterranean in 2019. I had a break from working in the travel industry to have my son, however, prior to that, I worked in the industry for 10 years, in various roles from Leisure to Corporate travel. I also studied an AVCE in Travel and Tourism and have lived in Germany as a child and explored Germany and other countries close by, I feel this set me on the path to having the travel bug.I went on to study German at university and lived there whilst studying. When I finished my studies, I took a year out to go backpacking around Australia and Asia. Whilst working for an international airline my Husband and I travelled to over 26 countries and over 100 cities. Travel really is my passion, and I have been lucky enough to enjoy all sorts of holidays from backpacking around Australia, to cruising the Mediterranean, to a safari in Kenya on the Masai Mara and even attending a friend’s wedding in Las Vegas. More recently we have taken up skiing as a Family. My son learnt to ski on the sunny slopes of Dubal Mall's indoor ski area, so he developed a passion for skiing. Since then, we have travelled to Azerbaijan and most recently New Jersey for ski holidays. During the pandemic we were limited in terms of travel, however we managed to experience lots of amazing staycations in Dubai. Since then, we have travelled to the Maldives, Mauritius and Ski Lanka, as well as enjoying the ski trips. Having worked in the travel industry my whole career, I have strong knowledge about various destinations and can create tailor-made packages to suit your budget, so please do get in touch with me. I look forward to hearing from you and planning your next trip!

Having started my travel career back in 2006 on the high street at a well-known travel agency, there's not much that phases me in my job, whether it's ash clouds and other elements of mother nature, company collapses, presidential visits, or pandemics, I've lived through it all.

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 trekking holidays in Bhutan, Nepal and Corsica, to luxury safaris in Tanzania & Kenya, beach holidays in Thailand, Turkey and the Greek Islands, plus tours of Uganda, Lebanon, India, Brazil and Argentina. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have travelled so widely, and to take these experiences in to my work. I've enjoyed my time so much along the way, working with great colleagues and especially meeting my brilliant clients.So, if you are thinking of a future trip of any sort, please get in touch and we can look at a trip together, and I can add you to that list!

Welcome to my page. My name is Holly Clarke and I am a Travel Counsellor based in Kingsthorpe, Northampton.I am very passionate about all things travel and have been lucky enough to do a lot of travelling myself. As a child I was fortunate to go on some unforgettable holidays, and at the age of 8 my family emigrated to Spain and we lived in a small village just over the border from Portugal for 3 years which was one of the best experiences and where my true passion for travel and different cultures began. I was lucky enough to find a partner who was also as passionate about travel as I am and we went on a backpacking trip around Asia, Malaysia, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and America at the age of 20. After returning to the UK we decided we wanted to go and live in Australia, and moved to Perth where I opened a dog sitting/walking business.Since returning to the UK, I have been on a variety of different holidays from budget city breaks to luxury beach holidays, from backpacking to skiing through snowy mountains. I spend a lot of time planning and researching our holidays and have organised all the trips we have been on. I would love to share my knowledge, experience and passion for travelling with you. Travel isn't a 'job' for me, it would be my pleasure and privilege to be able to organise your travel arrangements, whatever they may be. I can organise anything from weekends away in the UK to bespoke luxury holiday packages to the other side of the world and all things in between. No request is too big or too small. My aim is to make sure you have the best experience and your money is 100% financially protected for peace of mind.Please don't hesitate to contact me via phone or email on the details below, and together we will find you the perfect package within your budget, to make your trip the best holiday you have had, until the next one!"travel is an investment in yourself"

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

Hello and a very warm welcome to my page. My name is Aylin and I live in Kent, with my husband and grown up children, but we mustn’t forget to mention Silver, our crazy cat.As your Personal Travel Counsellor, my aim is to enable YOU to make lasting memories. Travel has always been a passion for me, but with a growing family, I had to put it on hold until my children were old enough and ‘out of my hands’. If you’re in the same situation, working hard, or don’t have the time to search and sort your holidays out, whatever the reason maybe, I hope you will consider giving me the opportunity to offer you a tailor made holiday.I am often asked what my favourite holiday is and I never hesitate to say, I have two different types. For a relaxing/lazy holiday, nothing beats the Maldives. Just chilling on the warm white sand, with a cocktail in hand, is out of this world and unexplainable. You have to live it to know what I mean.My other favourite for an active holiday is cruising, especially in the Caribbean. I just love the idea of waking up to a new island each day and mixing with the ever so friendly locals. They always look so happy and make everyone feel very welcome.But I have to admit, I am a big child at heart and simply love Disneyland, so go at any chance I get.We mustn’t forget the all aspects of your holiday are fully protected 100% of the time guarantee. I and Travel Counsellors will be with you from start to finish and it would be great to hear from you when you return. Maybe even see some photos?So, pick up the phone or you can email me and we’ll get you on your way to‘Follow Your Dreams’

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.’

Hello and welcome to my webpage. My name is Jasmine and I live in Bretby, Burton Upon Trent with my two children and husband who I met while working as holiday reps at a campsite just outside of Paris.Since an early age, travel has always been an important part of my life. I was born in Darwin, Australia and then moved to the UK as a child. Family holidays spent in Australia or Europe, camping in the Australian outback and adventure trips to Iceland helped to form a life long love of adventure.After studying for a BA in Travel and Tourism in Edinburgh, I took a year out, travelling extensively in Asia, Indonesia, Australia and New Zealand. When I returned to the UK, I joined an award winning international travel company and spent 10 years as a travel consultant creating tailor made holidays. From getting engaged in a canoe on Halong Bay to nearly falling out of my bunk on the Trans-Siberian railway, I have unique travel knowledge that enables me to create, find and book your dream trip. These experiences, coupled with a commitment to understanding your wishes and expectations, help me tailor individual packages which will hopefully create memories that last a lifetime. As a travel counsellor, any holiday is possible, from bespoke UK breaks to orangutan safaris in Borneo, I have the resources to book any type of itinerary. With over a decade of industry experience, a keen interest in unusual destinations, multi stop trips and, most recently, family holidays with two young children, my aim is to remove the stress from booking your holiday.I work from home and am available at times which can suit you. We can consult by telephone, email or even face to face while enjoying a slice of homemade cake.

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 .

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.

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 and welcome to my web page. My aim is to give you a personal service to tailor your travel arrangements, to give you an experience which will give you memories to cherish for ever.

Whatever you want to do, at Travel Counsellors we have a range of options for whatever type of travel and destination you are looking for, enabling me to put together whatever kind of holiday or short break or cruise together, wherever it may be.When I worked in Saudi Arabia for a number of years I was able to travel extensively around the Middle East. There are now some interesting places to visit in the region away from the usual tourist destination, such as Al Ula, Saudi’s equivalent to Jordan’s Petra or Wadi Ash Shab in Oman.Some of my other favourites are the Philippines with white sandy beaches and crystal clear sea, Chocolate Hills of Bohol and the Subterranean river of Palawan. New Zealand and the three long distance rail journeys through some breath taking scenery, Milford Sound and Bay of Islands.What are your favourites or destinations of desire? Give me a call so we can discuss what you are looking for, happy to meet over a coffee. Doesn’t matter whether it’s a short break or something longer, I look forward to helping you on your way.With Travel Counsellors your holiday is fully financially protected.

Inspired by my adventures, I returned to the UK to begin a career sharing my passion for travel. Fast forward, and this year marks my 22nd anniversary dedicated to the travel industry.

Hi, I'm David, your local Travel Counsellor based in North Wales. I am originally from Denbigh but now live in Rhyl with my wife and children. As my children are heading off to university in the next couple of years, I hope to use this opportunity to expand my travel knowledge and business. With over 35 years in the travel industry I have gained extensive knowledge and experience. I have visited over 60 destinations around the world, including the USA, Australia and the Caribbean. I love the USA and Canada but am equally at home sitting on a beach in Majorca or sipping cocktails in St Lucia. I really enjoyed Australia and hope to return one day for the trip of a lifetime. I have also visited many European countries, from the hustle and bustle of Paris to the unspoilt beaches of Greece. I've enjoyed taking my family to my favourite destinations over the years and showing them the sights and culture that the world has to offer. Having been in the industry for so long, I have a wealth of experience ranging from round the world itineraries to package holidays and city breaks. I can assist in booking a 1 night stay in Blackpool to a 6 month Round the World Cruise. My Knowledge and Experience in the travel industry, means every detail of your holiday is looked after. Being a Travel Counsellor enables me to balance my working life with you. I appreciate that sometimes 9 – 5 is not always convenient, therefore I will also be available in the evenings and at weekends. Individual appointments or home visits can also be arranged.Please don't hesitate to contact me for enquires ,no holiday is too big or too small

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!

Hello and welcome to my personal world of travel.Travel has been a big part of my life, both for work and pleasure. I’ve enjoyed travelling extensively to the Caribbean, South Africa, Far East, Scandinavia and Europe and I have over 30 years’ experience of working in travel, both in the UK and overseas. There is a wealth of choice out there and it can sometimes be daunting to research and book your holiday – that’s where I come in and take all the hard work and (sometimes fear!) away from you. Backed by a multi award winning company, with market leading technology, I can tailor make any type of trip you wish – from a simple flight only, to a fortnight in the Mediterranean, a cruise, an around the world trip or even your dream wedding and honeymoon. From your initial conversation with me, I will take the time to listen to you and ask questions that will help me determine what you want from your holiday. I can also add in all the extras you may need - airport car parking, transfers, vehicle rental, rail journeys, theme park and attraction tickets, travel insurance – the list is endless, but it’s about making your trip as individual and complete as you want.I believe passionately in making travel inclusive for everyone, regardless of ability. If it’s possible to get somewhere in the world, I will not only get you there, I will make sure you have the very best experience possible. Whatever your additional needs or requirements are, I can arrange them.I have also skied for over 20 years, so if it’s a ski holiday you’re looking for, you will know that you’re talking to someone who speaks the right language!Being a Travel Counsellor means I am completely impartial and independent and not tied to any particular travel companies or airlines and you can rest assured that your holiday or trip is protected by our ATOL licence and also the Travel Counsellors Financial Trust. Booking with me will also give you access to 24-hour support in the event of any difficulties. So, if it really is the personal touch you’re looking for, please give me a call or send me an email, I’d love to hear from you.

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.
