Thank you for visiting my page, here's a little bit about me...My name is Jessica, your local Travel Counsellor. I am based in Burntwood, Staffordshire. I am a motorsports lover, mainly F1 (Formula 1) and BSB (British Superbikes), and a Disney fanatic. Travel is something I am passionate about; I have been to Majorca, France, Lanzarote and my favourite, Florida. Florida is my favourite destination because of all the theme parks, especially Disney, I was lucky to be able to go there nearly every year from the ages 1-8. As a child I saw my favourite characters being brought to life and was able to be apart of the magic myself when walking through the streets of Disney and seeing Cinderella's castle. Our family holidays to Florida really are some of my favourite memories. That being said, I still have many dream vacations left on my bucket list that I am excited to experience. I also can't wait to help you experience your dream vacations and tick them off your bucket list.Whether it's a solo adventure, romantic getaway, family holiday or a once in a lifetime opportunity, I will be here to help you with your holiday wants and needs every step of the way. I am here to take the stress away from planning and booking your holidays and knowing that all bookings are 100% ATOL protected, will hopefully add to that peace of mind. As I'm not tied to any suppliers, I can tailor your holiday to suit you and create bespoke itineraries for your dream getaway.I'm excited to help make your dream holidays a reality, where you can make fun, long-lasting memories. Have a holiday in mind? Please get in touch and we can start planning your perfect holiday.

I feel travel broadens the mind and we all need our dreams to plan and to look forward to.I try to make every one of my clients bookings extra special by emailing out to the hotels direct to advise them they are VIP clients and to request for any courtesy room upgrades or complimentary extras to make your holiday perfect. As it is up to the hotels discretion I can never guarantee my email will be successful but I do get lots of success stories so it is always worth a try.I have been lucky enough to travel the world so can give you first hand advise on lots of destinations which makes such a difference so you know your holiday will be perfect if you book with me. My most recent holiday was an amazing tour of Sri Lanka where I can honestly say it was was of the best ever as Sri Lanka is so unique and diverse as it has so much to offer you can go on a VIP tour, have the best of everything and not pay a fortune! I have cruised many times, taken amazing safari's in Kenya, Botswana and Zimbabwe, experienced the romantic Sandals Ultra All inclusive resorts in the Caribbean where I have booked lots of wedding parties over the years as they offer free weddings. I have Island hopped around the Seychelles and Hawaii, had magical experiences at the Walt Disney resorts in Paris and Orlando not forgetting Universal studios in Florida and California. Have had family holidays in Turkey and lots of the destinations in Europe, have had city breaks in Rome, Venice and the amazing Barcelona.

Had a tour of the amazing Costa Rica and its fantastic wildlife and the most amazing birds and have visited lots of other amazing places in the world so I have been very fortunate in my wonderful career ! I have been voted the 5th top Travel Counsellor above thousands of others in the past to get the most score 10’s from my clients as I take pride in making sure all of my clients receive 150% service from me!Unlike the high street travel agent where they tend to sell only certain products I have access to lots of options on our in house booking agent so I can get you the best deal for your preferences to ensure you have a holiday of a lifetime at your chosen budget. My clients enjoy the fact they don't have to leave their home, park up and go to the high street agency when they book with me so it streamlines everything. They also comment on how personal my service is when they book with me which can be lost with lots of companies nowadays.Why not get in touch, let's see if I can turn your dreams into a reality as treat every new enquiry like my own holiday to ensure I will find your perfect holiday.

Travel has always been so much more to me than simply getting from A to B. It is the thread that runs through my life: the thing I work for, dream about and always have on the horizon. I am a passionate believer in the power of “the next trip” to bring joy, connection and something truly special to look forward to. For families, I also see travel as one of the most enriching forms of education for children: a way to open their eyes to different cultures, wildlife, history and landscapes in a way no classroom ever could.As an independent Travel Counsellor, my clients are at the heart of everything I do. I offer a highly personal, concierge-style service: from private transfers and handpicked hotels to immersive experiences and those thoughtful touches that make a holiday feel truly “yours”. Whether you are dreaming of, I take time to understand what matters most to you and design every detail around that.I know that luxury means something different to every person. For some it is barefoot time together on a white-sand beach, for others a meticulously planned family adventure, a once-in-a-lifetime honeymoon, an intimate wine-tasting escape, an exclusive safari or a restorative break after a demanding year. Whatever it means to you, my role is to remove the stress and complexity of planning and to curate journeys that feel effortless, personalised and unforgettable.My own travels began in South Africa, where countless safaris and wine tours sparked a lifelong love of nature, wildlife and wide-open spaces. Since then I have explored much of the world: from the snowy slopes of Scotland and the timeless pyramids of Egypt, to the landscapes of Italy and Portugal, the forests and temples of Bali, the magic of Walt Disney World, and vibrant cities across Europe, Russia and beyond. I have a particular soft spot for islands and beaches, with favourites including Zanzibar, Mauritius, Hawaii, and the Maldives.I am also an avid scuba diver and snorkeller, and some of my most cherished memories are in or under the water: coming face to face with a whale shark in the Red Sea, listening to dolphins in the waters around Zanzibar, drifting alongside green turtles off the coast of Maui, and witnessing the magical glow of bioluminescence on a night-time experience in Tobago. These encounters give me a deep appreciation of how powerful travel can be, and I bring that same sense of wonder to the itineraries I create for my clients.From our first conversation to the moment you return home, I am on hand to guide, support and inspire you, with help just a call or message away while you are away.I would be delighted to work with you to design your next luxury escape and create travel memories you and your family will treasure for years to come.

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

Hello & welcome to my Travel Counsellors webpage!!I have been travelling the world most of my adult life visiting a variety of far flung places.I first caught the travel bug in my early 20s when I was backpacking between Thailand and Singapore (before mobile phones and the internet) and I haven't looked back since. I have been lucky enough to experience some amazing places but my choice of where to stay since those early days has most definitely improved. It's now more about views, food and location than cheapest possible and questionable hostels.So far, I have visited more than 50 countries stretching from North America to South East Asia and the Caribbean to Australia. People often ask where is my favourite place I have visited. It's a question I struggle to answer as each destination offers a different experience. Travelling is my university so I am still learning and exploring.I love creating memorable journeys and pride myself on treating your holiday with as much care as I do my own. The support you'll receive from me is second to none and I am here to help you navigate through these difficult times.So why not get in touch and let me see how I can help with your next trip?I look forward to hearing from you,Happy travelling!

Hello fellow travel lovers,I am Sarah Edwards, a Travel Concierge and Events Specialist based in Cobham, Surrey. I design tailor-made holidays and experiences around the world, from family adventures and weekend getaways to destination weddings, luxury honeymoons, surprise engagements, corporate events, and wellness retreats. Whatever the occasion, I love helping clients turn their travel dreams into unforgettable memories.I am also proud to be a Middle East expert, with particular expertise in Oman, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. Having lived and travelled extensively in the region, I can offer first-hand insight into its rich culture, diverse landscapes, and hidden gems—whether you are seeking a luxurious desert escape, a cultural journey, or a blend of both.Travel has been a lifelong passion of mine that began in childhood with family holidays every school break. From long road trips across Europe to thrilling safaris in South Africa, cruises around the Caribbean, and magical family adventures in Orlando, travel quickly became a defining part of who I am.I grew up in the South of France and speak both English and French fluently. Over the years, I have lived in France, England, Switzerland, the United States, Monaco, and the United Arab Emirates, which has given me a deep appreciation for different cultures and ways of life. Having explored more than 48 countries, I love immersing myself in local traditions, wandering through neighbourhoods, tasting regional dishes, and uncovering hidden gems known only to locals.Before turning my passion into my full-time career, I spent more than 15 years in banking, most recently as a Managing Director and Chief of Staff. During this time, I managed large-scale corporate events, which refined my ability to manage complex logistics, anticipate challenges, and deliver exceptional experiences. I have also run my own wedding planning business, which has given me a deep understanding of the importance of every detail in creating truly memorable and beautifully executed celebrations, allowing me to craft events of all kinds with care and precision.My personal favourite destination is AlUla in Saudi Arabia, a breathtaking and still largely undiscovered region of dramatic desert landscapes, ancient Nabatean tombs, and immersive cultural experiences. It truly is a place like no other.That said, I will always have a soft spot for Provence, where I spent much of my childhood. The rolling lavender fields, charming hilltop villages, and relaxed pace of life keep me returning time and again. It feels like home.Through Travel Counsellors, I have access to a global network of trusted suppliers and exclusive travel products, allowing me to design bespoke holidays and events to suit every style and occasion, all with full financial protection for complete peace of mind.Because I am completely independent and not tied to any supplier, every journey I create is uniquely tailored to you, with impartial advice, personal attention, and care from start to finish.I cannot wait to help you plan your next unforgettable experience.Warmest wishes, Sarah

Over the years, I have been fortunate enough to visit some amazing places. I believe that when planning a holiday or a once in a lifetime trip, it really helps to speak to someone who has been there and knows the destination first hand. Here are some of my travel highlights:- Seeing orang-utans in the wild in Borneo- Swimming with manta rays, turtles and dolphins in the Maldives- On Safari in South Africa and Kenya- Cycling in Vietnam, from South to North- New York to watch US open tennis- Travelling to Japan to watch the Rugby World Cup (I love to travel to watch sporting events)- Luxury in Barbados with a stay at the iconic Sandy Lane

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.

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.

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!

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.

Hi… I’m Wayne and I have been in the travel industry now for over 40 years. The last 30 years, I have been selling cruises… a great passion of mine from when I was a young boy. I have cruised and travelled extensively as you’ll see. I am married to Pam and we have two gorgeous daughters, both married to wonderful boys… four adorable grandsons, two courtesy of each daughter, and a beautiful granddaughter too. Nearly forgot.. we have a cheeky little dog as well.I have seen so many places on my cruise travels and many who know me have caught the bug too. Some of the more memorable trips have been a QE2 Transatlantic crossing, Fred Olsen’s Black Watch Amazon, Silversea’s Silver Cloud Red Sea, Crystal Serenity’s Caribbean, Regent Navigator’s New York and Bermuda, Holland America’s Maasdam Panama Canal, APT‘s AmaBella Danube… and numerous other trips to the Baltic, Fjords, Spitsbergen, Mediterranean, South Africa, Far East and more.I live in Manchester and have worked from home for many years now. You cannot cruise and travel as much as I do without building up an extensive and varied knowledge base of all the sights, sites (yes, a little bit of a tongue twister), and places I’ve visited on my travels. I get excited at the thought of sharing my first-hand knowledge and experiences with people I talk to. I am no “tick box” traveller. To me, every single trip is full of the memories we create from them.I have to confess that my evenings out with friends invariably end up in us talking travel and I love hearing as much about their experiences as they do about mine. What free time I have I love being with family, reading, listening to relaxing music or walking our dog. Cruising remains my passion, as you will realise when you speak to me. If it’s cruising, cruises, cruise ships, cruise destinations…. in fact, just about anything cruise related, then get in touch with me.My many clients trust my no-nonsense, professional and “say what I do, do what I say” approach. You’ll be in good hands with your cruise and travel arrangements being handled by me personally.

Hi and thank you for taking the time to view my profile.My passion for travel started back in 1993 when after six years of working for National Westminster Bank, I decided I wanted to see the world. I travelled to Africa, India, Nepal, Thailand, Mexico, Guatemala and finally Canada where I stayed for three years working in an art gallery in Toronto, and worked my way across to Vancouver with the same company.On my return to the UK in 1997, I started a position with Fidelity Investments but quickly realised my bug for travel was not satiated and in 1998, embarked on a trip to the Philippines, Fiji and Australia where I worked for St George Bank for nine months. I visited Guatemala for the second time travelling by bus through Mexico up to San Francisco where I stayed for five years. I travelled extensively across the west coast visiting Oregon, Utah, Idaho, Wyoming and Nevada and of all the places I visited, Lake Tahoe is my favourite. I returned to the UK in 2003 and naturally it made perfect sense to me to embark on a career in travel so I joined Flightcentre UK, firstly in the direct stores in New Malden, then moving to Sutton Surrey store where I remained until 2007. I was sent on numerous educational trips to destinations such as South Africa, New Zealand, Rio, New York and countless European countries all of which were fantastic and enabled me to gain an extensive knowledge of how travel operators and hotels work. I happily share this knowledge with customers and colleagues alike with the aim of benefitting their travel experience.In 2007 I decided to move to Corporate Traveller. I was spending more and more time with corporate clients, establishing their needs, cementing business relationships, making recommendations and thus making savings. I managed a number of very high profile accounts, examples including Aston Martin, BBVA bank, Celebrity Speakers, Circassia Pharmaceutical and many others and I always maintained the relationships with both bookers and travellers to a very high standard. I have won customer service awards and was the only consultant in the company to attend the Global Ball in Berlin in 2018, (runner up in 2019) based on customer excellence survey results and pride myself on the relationships I have with my clients. I have now embarked on a career with Travel Counsellors, a company founded in 1994, with full ATOL protection, over two thousand staff, full out of hours protection, Queens award winner three times, a five star trust pilot rating, British Travel awards winners and most important of all for me, a company with a truly holistic approach to customers and consultants. Our priorities will always be your safety and your travel experience.Kind regards,Brian Costello.

My name is Nicola Rawlinson and I am an independent travel agent. I have been in the travel industry for over 20 years. I joined Travel Counsellors in 2004 and before that I was Manager at Travelworld in Guiseley.I joined Travel Counsellors as I wanted to concentrate on giving my customers the highest possible levels of personal service and independent travel advice without targets. Therefore I can now ensure that I can focus on booking the right holiday for my customers.I have travelled to many many places throughout the world. In addition I have participated in a number of training programmes. I hold a Dubai specialist qualification, along with many other certificates of achievement.My favourite destination would have to be the Caribbean with the powder white sands and crystal clear waters.As your own personal Travel Counsellor I can use our award winning technology and 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 better price than the standard holiday package you might get elsewhere.I recognise that not everyone is free to discuss their travel arrangements during the working week, which is why working from home means you can contact me at times when most other travel agents are unavailable, including evenings and weekends. This has also proved invaluable in the very unlikely event that you have a problem whilst in resort.I can help you arrange any part of your travel arrangements - so whether it be a theatre break to London or a round the world cruise - I can help. As part of a large organisation I can also get you great deals on accommodation so if you need to know the best Paris hotels for a last minute holiday to France or the best Dubai hotels for a luxurious weekend in the sun please contact me. Of course I can help with any other travel arrangements you may have, including holiday car hire and holiday insurance. 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 your holiday plans.I hope to hear from you soon.

Hello, my name is Nicola Donaldson and I have been a personal Travel Counsellor for 10 years, and I'm based in Windsor, Berkshire. I have more than 25 years experience working in the travel industry - prior to Travel Counsellors I worked in airlines and airports in the UK and overseas - and have spent seven years living abroad, most recently in Stockholm, Sweden and prior to that, six years in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.Of course I love to travel, but what I love more is to share that feeling with others, and see everyone experience and enjoy their adventures, wherever they are in the world. That's the major bonus of being a Travel Counsellor as you are helping people make their travel dreams become a reality. I want to help you make memories on your travels and by working with me I aim to make that happen - effortlessly and stress free. I particularly love organising travel that is a bit more complex - think multiple locations, island hopping, train travel and more. This is where my expertise really comes into play.Over the years, I've been lucky enough to travel to many destinations (54 countries and counting!) including the Caribbean, the USA, Canada, The Far East (Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, China, Singapore), India, Sri Lanka, Australia, South Africa, North Africa and Kenya and much of Europe and its glorious historical cities as well as the beautiful beaches of Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece and France, to name a few. I've even done a road trip from Sweden to England traveling with a cat and dog in the back of the car! So where else is on my bucket list? I would really like to explore South America. Argentina and Costa Rica spring to mind and I am trying to visit at least one new country every year. I'm a natural born organiser and have completed many bespoke itineraries to satisfy the tick-lists of myself and my customers, be they complex or more straightforward; luxury or shoestring budget; business or pleasure. It's another reason why I chose to become a Travel Counsellor. Having the knowledge and bespoke personal service that I can provide along with the back-up and support of the Travel Counsellors' team is a unique success formula leading to a lifetime of stress-free travel planning and making wonderful new memories.Please, don't hesitate to contact me with your requirements for your next trip whether it's business or leisure, UK or abroad. I am available daytime and evenings to discuss your travel needs. I look forward to hearing from you.

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’

Welcome to my page. My name is Anne-Marie Banks and I am a Travel Counsellor based in Redditch (although I am able to book you your dream holiday from wherever you may live!) From a young age I have loved and been passionate about travel. I am lucky enough to have travelled across four continents and explored a wide range of destinations (though there are still many more on my “bucket list”). My first introduction into the work of a Travel Counsellor was as a customer trying to navigate the complexities of a Disneyworld trip. I was so impressed by the advice, service and overall experience that I received, that I was inspired into becoming a Travel Counsellor myself. As your personal advisor I can work with you to tailor make and organise a trip which meets your exact travel requirements; from package holidays to bespoke adventures, from city breaks to ski and snow, from cruises to safaris, I really do have it all covered. I can liaise with you at a time and place which fits into your busy schedule and take time to really understand your needs. Additionally, you yourself can rest easy in the knowledge that you have a single point of contact for all aspects of your trip meaning all the small details that transform a break from “good” to “unforgettable” can be guaranteed. As a busy, working mum I know just how precious holidays are and therefore how important it is to get it absolutely right. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Hello, my name is Nicki Harrison and I'm a Travel Counsellor based in Guernsey. I provide a personal travel service using my years of experience as a travel agent, valued customer feedback and the award-winning technology provided by Travel Counsellors to create unique travel itineraries that will leave you with stories to last a lifetime. A quote that truly resonates with me is one from Ibn Battuta... “Travelling – it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.” I have a myriad of wonderful stories to share thanks to the travels I've been so lucky to enjoy, and I love to hear your stories in return. I aim to provide the best service I can to our Guernsey community, but my service is much more than just making a booking. I'll be on hand to help you with all the little touches that will make your trip special and just a message or call away should you need any help while abroad. As a born and bred Guernsey donkey, I understand the needs of local travellers and aim to make the world feel that little bit more accessible. My goal is to be approachable and inclusive, an ethos that's based around the idea of togetherness... working with you to bring the destinations on your bucket list that little bit closer. At every step of your travel journey, you will receive the best care I can offer. I'll always take the time to get to know you and what will make your trip extra special. From visiting you at home or at a favoured cafe to start chatting about your plans, to getting all the arrangements sorted, making sure any dietary, medical or mobility needs are taken care of, delivering your tickets and then catching up when you get home. Becoming a mum in 2024 also opened my eyes to the world of family travel and the priorities of parents. Whether you have a youngster like me or travelling as part of a multi-generational party, I can help to make sure everyone's needs are catered for. Shortly after starting my career in travel, I have been developing my interest in special occasion holidays such as weddings and honeymoons. I hold a City & Guilds qualification in Travel & Tourism as well as an online diploma in Wedding and Event Management and have spent years helping couples from all walks of life to arrange memorable trips to celebrate their special moments. Whether it's a short city break or an around the world adventure, the key to building the perfect trip is in the detail and I hope to be able to help create an authentic, bespoke itinerary just for you soon. As your personal Travel Counsellor, I want to ensure your holiday is ‘once in a lifetime’ every time.

Hello, my name is Helen and welcome to my website. I’m a Derbyshire girl, born, bred and am still based here. Whilst I believe this to be one of the most beautiful counties, I have always been passionate about discovering new places near and far, and I endeavour to help you to do the same.

Since then I have been fortunate to have visited over 40 countries around the world - my favourites being Iceland, Vietnam, Canada, Cuba, Sicily.

I have over 30 years experience as a personal travel advisor and can organise any type of holiday experience tailored to your exact specifications.Discovering new places and different cultures still excites me and I am very fortunate to have visited most of the world, I would never adventure without my kindle and my travel wish list includes sharing breakfast with one of my favourite animals at Giraffe Manor, Nairobi.I genuinely care about every client's booking from start to finish, advising them to embrace the pace of the destination they're in, so they can fully relax and enjoy their time away. After so many years in travel, I believe that I can book any type of holiday but I do enjoy a challenge so please feel free to put me to the test.....

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.

Over the years I’ve lived and worked overseas and explored everywhere from Andorra to Zanzibar (and many wonderful places in between).What I love most about my job is getting to know you — your stories, your wish lists, your “one day” trips, and the little details that make a holiday truly special. I’m naturally a planner and a researcher, and I genuinely enjoy crafting trips that fit you perfectly.I don’t just book holidays — I design tailored travel experiences. Whether it’s a big celebration, a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, or a much-needed escape, I take the time to understand exactly what you want and build a trip around you.Life is busy, and that’s where I come in. I save you time, remove the stress, and handle the details so you can focus on the excitement. I work flexibly around you, not just standard office hours, because travel planning shouldn’t feel like a chore squeezed into your day.As a Travel Counsellor, I’m an independent business owner backed by a global, award-winning company. That means expert support, trusted suppliers, and 100% financial protection — complete peace of mind for you and your investment.From UK breaks to Mediterranean sunshine, bucket-list safaris to tailor-made long-haul journeys, I’d love to help bring your plans to life.If you have a trip in mind — or even just the beginnings of an idea — let’s chat.Trusted Travel, Tailored for You.
