+4401932807210Hello, I’m Emily from Weybridge in Surrey.I have worked in the travel industry for over 20 years, based in Oxford, Kensington and London’s West End, creating bespoke itineraries for leisure and corporate clients within both the economy and first and business class teams. I pride myself on my customer service and attention to detail, my understanding of complex flights, routes and fares, as well as my extensive hotel and destination knowledge. With this combination, I am confident that I can put together the perfect package for you, whatever your budget.Travel has been my passion as long as I can remember, and having spent the first three years of my life on a remote Pacific atoll in Kiribati and travelling through Africa, China, Tibet and Mongolia, it’s not hard to see why! A degree in Geography was the obvious choice for me, preceded by six months exploring Kenya, teaching English and Geography in a remote secondary school.I joined the industry directly after university where I continued to indulge my love of travel and have been lucky enough to venture to the Indian Ocean, Southeast Asia, India, Australia, New Zealand, the South Pacific, North America and Canada, the Caribbean, Middle East, Africa and many beach and city destinations within Europe. Australia has been a particular favourite of mine and during one visit I gained an ‘Aussie Specialist’ accolade after completing their specialist training programme.I now have two young children and understand what it takes to create an enjoyable (and relaxing) holiday for all the family. I can relate to any requirements you may have - be it family time, adventure, business travel, a honeymoon, I have been there and done it and can help make it happen for you, the way you want it. I am your independent, unbiased travel advisor.I will always go the extra mile to make sure I have every base covered and nothing is too much trouble. And above all I just love talking about travel and am ready and available whenever you need it!I look forward to hearing from you and help to make your plans a reality. -

+4402035827870Welcome 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. -

I also frequently visit Asia, often en-route to Australia, and enjoyed experiencing the different cultures in Myanmar and Thailand; and a fly drive in South Africa left me wanting to see more of this vast country. As I said, impossible to pick just one place.Please get in touch, I’d love to hear from you.

+4401952924145Hi, I’m Amy. Mum to my adventurous two‑year‑old, Ruben, partner to my favourite travel companion, Ben. Travel has shaped so many of our happiest memories, from spontaneous escapes before becoming parents to discovering new places through Ruben’s curious eyes. Becoming a mum has only made my love for travel stronger. For years, the Maldives was my favourite destination. Then Mauritius came along and completely surprised me. That feeling of discovering somewhere that captures your heart is exactly what I want to help create for my clients. I’ve always loved the excitement of planning a trip, but I know not everyone feels the same. Many people simply don’t have the time to research every detail or the confidence to know they’re making the right choices. That’s where I come in. When I discovered Travel Counsellors, I realised how powerful it is to have someone in your corner who listens, understands and handles everything with care. Now I offer that same support to my clients. My approach is personal and completely tailored to you. I take the time to understand what matters most, whether that is relaxation, adventure, family time or a once‑in‑a‑lifetime experience. From the first conversation to the moment you return home, I handle every detail so you can focus on making memories. With full financial protection through ATOL and the Travel Counsellors Trust, you can travel with complete peace of mind. Whether you are dreaming of a far‑flung escape, a family holiday or something totally unique, I am here to make it seamless. When I am not planning holidays, you will usually find me chasing after Ruben, exploring new places as a family or daydreaming about our next adventure or simply having a pint in the local pub. So, let’s turn your travel dreams into reality and discover the world with confidence and ease. -

+4401243969100Hello, I’m Sharon.I live in Arundel, West Sussex with my husband and our gorgeous Cyprus rescue Poodle who has travelled extensively with us on nearly every mode of transport and has held 3 different passports – Cypriot, UK and France. He is most certainly quite the little globetrotter.My love for travel began with my very first flight at just three years old. From that moment, I knew this was the industry I wanted to be part of. Over the past 40+ years, I’ve worked across many sectors of the travel and tourism industry, gaining invaluable experience & knowledge , of most elements that make up your holiday such as airlines - both on the ground and in the air, cruise lines, hotels - as well as co-owning a coach travel business for 20 years with my husband, and owning a Chambres d'hotes in Brittany, France .I grew up in beautiful South Africa, moving to the UK in my mid twenties. During my childhood, due to the size of South Africa, it was never necessary to travel abroad, so as a family we travelled extensively within the country. As well as visits to smaller countries in Southern Africa such as Botswana, Lesotho, Swaziland and Zimbabwe. As a young adult, after a few years with South African Airways, I then embarked onto my travel agent journey, selling inbound as well as outbound holidays. So my knowledge of South Africa is extensive, should this be a destination you are interested in. I have also lived in Brittany, France, and my travels have taken me to incredible destinations including the Caribbean, Canada, New York, Iceland, Mauritius, Dubai, and India — to name just a few. I also have a passion for cruising - where else can you be in a luxury hotel, unpack once, yet visit multiple destinations. What I love most about my job is helping bring a customer’s travel vision to life. I’m passionate about creating unforgettable holidays that are as unique as each of my clients. From our first conversation, we’ll talk about your ideal trip — your likes, dislikes, and those special little touches that will make it truly memorable. From there, I’ll craft a bespoke itinerary just for you. Whether you’re dreaming of relaxing on a beach, exploring a vibrant city, or setting sail on a luxury cruise, I’m here to help you every step of the way — from the moment you book until you return home. And with 24/7 support, you're never on your own.With my exceptional customer service, care, attention to detail, and the backing of Travel Counsellors — a globally recognised and trusted brand — you’ll have complete financial protection and total peace of mind.So, whether it’s a cosy UK getaway or a grand, round-the-world adventure, I’ll work closely with you to make sure your trip is everything you’ve dreamed of — and more.For me, travel isn’t just about getting from A to B. It’s about the stories, the memories, and the joy of discovery. I’m your personal Travel Advisor, here to turn your travel dreams into reality. -

I can make restaurant reservations, organize extras such as car hire, theatre tickets, hot air balloon trips and even wedding ceremonies.I became a personal Travel Counsellor 17 years ago as I wanted to concentrate on what I do best; arranging travel for my clients and offering the highest possible levels of personal service and independent travel advice. I offer a fully personalised service tailored to my client’s individual requirements.Unlike most high street travel agents, Travel Counsellors is not tied to selling one particular company’s holiday. This means you are much more likely to get the holiday you want rather than the holiday the high street agent wants to sell you.

+4407732400817I chose an exciting and interesting career 40 years ago. Originally I managed a couple of high street agencies before becoming a Travel Counsellor in 1996. Being a Travel Counsellor has enabled me to visit some fantastic places. It's amazing to be able to pass on this knowledge when helping others to book their ideal holiday. Be it for business or leisure I can suggest destinations and hotels to suit your budget. Working directly with hoteliers and tour companies around the world I can create bespoke itineraries suited to your needs. I love arranging something a little different 'off the peg' itineraries. I've had a flurry of bespoke safari holidays recently, all of which I am told were amazing! I've also had the pleasure of helping a few 'solo' travellers which is great. There are lots of people in the same situation. Why stay at home, just go and make new friends on holiday.I have travelled extensively around the Med, USA and Canada, to name a few. It was in Lake Tahoe that I first learned to ski, and have since been to Italy, Austria and more recently Canada, so if you like something a little more exhilarating I can offer first hand advice. These days my holidays are often spent in Kalkan. I love the laid back pace of life and the local people are wonderful.I've had the privilege over the last few years of arranging a number of weddings and honeymoons which have been a great success! A wonderful start to married life!I had lots of holidays before I had my children but I am blessed to have had some fantastic holidays with them too, they're just a lot different. Pleasing them makes the difference between a wonderful holiday and one you would rather forget! Time spent with our families and loved ones is precious. We work hard all year round and deserve the best holiday possible to look forward to.Being a Travel Counsellor for almost 30 years has given me the best balance between home life and work. We all go to work to provide ourselves and our families with a good standard of living, but I am fortunate to enjoy my job so much that I never get the Monday morning blues! I am always keen to talk about travel to anyone that will listen! I pride myself that my clients come back to me year after year and I love to hear from them when they return from their holidays to let me know what a wonderful time they've had. I am available throughout the day, most evenings and weekends, so whenever you are free to arrange your holiday, simply give me a call or send me an email so you can find out for yourself why I have such loyal clients who simply wouldn't make their travel arrangements with anyone else.I look forward to being of service to you and your family! -

When I travel, I like to go behind the touristy scene and see what makes the people and the towns tick, I love to go off the beaten track and explore. My saying is, “I haven’t been to everywhere yet, but it’s on my list”.I joined Travel Counsellors because I really believe in personal service, I have always excelled in customer service, I remember the “old days” when nothing was too much trouble and it was just the norm to go above and beyond for a customer and that’s what I will do for you here at Travel Counsellors. I have been with Travel Counsellors for 9 years now and the majority of my business now comes from repeat clients and referrals, you can read some of my clients comments on my service below, I am certainly very proud to provide exceptional customer service and making my clients dreams come true. Along the way I have won some awards such as "Most Helpful Travel Counsellor" "Cruise Star Mentor of the Year" and recently I have been appointed as a Travel Counsellor Cruise Ambassador.

+4401273317319Hi, I’m Martin. I live in Hove on the south coast with my young family.My passion for travel began in the mid ‘90s with a round-the-world trip and working holiday in Australia. Since then, I’ve been fortunate enough to have travelled extensively worldwide, visiting over 50 countries along the way. My travels have taken me to places such as Thailand, Sri Lanka, Borneo, Cambodia, Vietnam, Myanmar, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Brazil, the USA, New Zealand, Fiji, Kenya and a number of European countries too. More recently, I’ve been discovering destinations a little closer to home, such as the Canary Islands, that work very well for family holidays.Over the years, I’ve had some wonderful experiences that include watching cheetahs as the sun sets over the Masai Mara, sky-diving at the Whitsundays in Australia, taking a helicopter ride into the Grand Canyon and travelling on the tea country train through the tea plantations in Sri Lanka.Through work trips, I have first-hand experience of staying in some of the world’s finest hotels (and some more run-of-the-mill ones too!) and can pass on some great tips to ensure you get the most from your hotel choices. I have extensive flight cabin knowledge. Business or Premium Economy Class isn’t always as expensive as you may think and makes long haul travel far more enjoyable.Before becoming a Travel Counsellor, my career evolved from working in London for a ‘flights specialist’ and managing a team of 20+, to helping build a small travel ‘start-up’ into a successful travel business and more recently working for an award-winning luxury tailor-made tour operator creating privately guided tours throughout Asia. All these roles have required exceptional service levels and a very keen eye for detail. With over 25 years’ experience as a dedicated travel professional, I can offer impartial, tailored advice for your trip and great prices too! Your leisure time is very precious and I realise just how important holidays are. I take pride in providing inspirational ideas for your trip, something which will save you hours of online research. Planning a bespoke holiday itinerary can be a daunting and sometimes time-consuming experience. Leave the detail to me and I’ll ensure a stress-free, smooth running trip, and you’ll return home with amazing memories that will last a lifetime.For a no obligation quote (or just an initial chat about your holiday plans), please feel free to give me a call or send me an email. I’ll be very happy to help… -

+4401923882510My name is Michael, I’m a Travel Counsellor and I live in Radlett, a commuter village located between Watford and St Albans in Hertfordshire. My family have lived in Hertfordshire since at least the 1600s. That’s probably why I felt the need to escape and see a bit more of the world; travel after all broadens the mind.Sport and travel have always been passions of mine and I have combined the two by arranging and selling skiing holidays for many years and I have also been involved in running cricket and rugby tours to both the UK and Europe.I’ve been in the travel industry for over 30 years and have experienced and enjoyed many different roles so I have a great understanding of what you, the customer wants from every aspect of their holiday.From being an overseas representative in destinations as diverse as Ibiza and Switzerland and contracting hotels, apartments and villas in Cyprus, Turkey, the Canary Islands, mainland Spain, Greek Islands and many, many more fabulous holiday destinations, my main ambition has always been to ensure that everything is right for the customer!I’m often asked what my favourite holiday destination is and it is so difficult to pick just one place from all the great and varied opportunities out there. However here goes with a few favourites: for skiing I love Italy, as much for the food and atmosphere as the skiing, Australia and India are places I must visit again as there is so much more to see. I have a particular soft spot for Cyprus, its history and its people. My favourite cities must include Florence, New York, Lisbon and Sydney.I look forward to helping you visit some of your personal favourites or even better discover your own brand new “dream destination”. -

Australia, New Zealand and Southern Africa are 3 destinations that I have visited frequently as well as having lived in Florida and then Australia for a while.

How convenient - a Personal Travel Consultant available at times when you are!

Plus, to make sure your holiday is extra special, I will help arrange all the little extras that make it perfect, such as finding a romantic spot to propose, or the best seafood restaurant in the area, as well as any unique experiences.

+4401629888950Hello and thank you for visiting my web page. With over 25 years experience working within the travel industry I can honestly say that travel is in my blood. As a child my parents lived and worked in the Middle East so together with my siblings we visited many interesting and beautiful countries and so my love affair with travel began.After graduating from University I packed my rucksack and left for America. Together with a friend we worked and travelled down the East Coast following our dreams and creating life long memories. On return to the UK I continued my adventures and applied to become a ski guide in the northern French Alps for Crystal Ski. Like many graduates before me one season led to another and following a year out travelling in Australia and New Zealand I moved to the Austrian Tyrol to work as a customer service manager for TUI Travel. This is where I met my husband and our first daughter was born in the beautiful town of Kitzbuhel. After enjoying the next couple of years surrounded by the breathtaking scenery of The Austrian Alps we made the decision to re-locate back to the UK.I continued to work for the Tui Travel Group as an agent in Matlock, Derbyshire and built up over 13 years service. In 2014 I was awarded Regional Travel Advisor of the year and began to think about broadening my horizons and setting up my own business. As a travel Counsellor I believe in offering truly independent travel advice coupled with outstanding service. Over the years I have built up lasting relationships with my customers and pride myself on designing seamless travel arrangements based on first- hand experience and extensive product knowledge. Whether it’s a fun family holiday to the Balearics, a Caribbean cruise or a bespoke tailor-made tour of China I would love to help you with your plans and bring your dreams to life. “Travel is the only thing you buy which makes you richer” AnonymousI look forward to hearing from you and being an integral part of your journey.Kind Regards Sarah -

+4402032920101Hi my name is Dan and I am a Travel Counsellor in London.I have successfully worked in the travel and leisure industry for 20 years and it is something that really ticks a lot of boxes for me.Discovering new places, meeting different people and cultures are important for one’s personal growth. Ever since I started working in the industry my eyes have been opened to a huge world out there to explore and helping people discover and book trips to those far off lands gives me a great sense of satisfaction in that I might have helped someone discover something new in this world.As well as leisure travel, I also offer corporate travel. I have honed my skills in designing and managing travel itineraries that optimize efficiency, comfort, and cost-effectiveness. From arranging complex multi-city trips to ensuring last-minute changes are handled smoothly, I thrive in fast-paced environments where attention to detail and adaptability are crucial.I started working in the travel industry in the cruise sector which brings to the table another exciting world of opportunities to see several parts of the world in one holiday. It is a unique type of travel that allows a customer to experience several destinations and cultures in one holiday. This was closely followed by the tailor making of unique holidays, custom made for the travellers so if there is something that you would like to experience more of then that can be arranged.Although it sounds cliché I would never book a holiday for someone that I would be averse to taking myself. One should always put themselves in the customers shoes and imagine, as best as you can, what they want to do and how they want to do it. One’s work is a reflection of a person’s personality and the enjoyment and success I have achieved in travel holds me in good stead so don’t hesitate to call for a chat to see what adventure I can help you go on next. -

+4401779930012Hello and welcome to my webpage!My name is David and I’m based in a small village in the North East of Scotland and I am delighted to be your personal Travel Counsellor. I have just recently joined the Travel Counsellors Community after working in the hospitality industry. I decided to take my passion for travel and adventure and turn it into my own business. I have been fortunate enough to travel to many places around the world including 60ish countries in North & South America, Asia, Africa and Europe. Cruising is my personal favourite, what’s not to love!! all those different experiences in one, the different destinations, the different cultures and of course the best bit the food….. and yes I will bring it up, the sea does move a bit but after almost 300 nights onboard a ship I can only remember a couple of days that the ship was moving.Here at Travel Counsellors, we don’t do off the shelf packages (well we can if you really want) we tailor every aspect of the booking to make it especially for you, whatever you want to do, wherever you want to do it. Whether that be taking the family to the most magical place on earth or lazing on a secluded beach to sailing the seven seas on a luxury cruise ship or maybe just a little cheeky city break to escape the weather. It’s all created bespoke for you and your family.There isn’t a better feeling than turning off that laptop for a couple weeks and then getting excited for what your about to experience and it’s that feeling I want to pass onto you but with a few extra’s like not having to plan a thing, I will do it all for you. Having all your documents and information stored on our fantastic MyTC app on your smartphone. Knowing I will be on hand to resolve any questions or problems than may arise, you never have to be on hold waiting for an agent that doesn’t know or care about you. With us everything is personal. As part of a multi award winning network of Independent Travel Counsellors you can relax in the knowledge that your money is protected by not only ATOL but by our unique Travel Counsellors Trust.So when your ready to book that next trip, I would be delighted if you give me a call or drop me an email and lets have a chat about it. -

+4401205220034Hello, I’m Katie May – your trusted Travel Counsellor, based in the heart of Lincolnshire. Boston is home to me, my husband, our teenage son, a lively dog, and a muddy cob (horse, for anyone not in the know). Life here is full of energy and warmth – and that’s exactly what I bring to every holiday I create: a wholehearted commitment to helping you craft life-long memories.My passion for travel ignited as a solo adventurer in Australia during my first gap year after school. The travel bug truly took hold during a second gap year post-university, when I embarked on a round-the-world backpacking adventure with my then-boyfriend (now husband): we partied under full moon skies, lived on remote outback cattle stations, soared above the Grand Canyon, and woke to lions’ roars on safari under canvas.Since then, I’ve snorkelled in the crystal-clear waters of the Maldives, marvelled at the ancient majesty of Machu Picchu, and been immersed in the vibrant culture of India. These, and many more experiences have gifted me memories to last a lifetime and inspired my career helping others do the same. Years with a leading luxury tour operator allowed me to specialise in crafting journeys that truly mean more – from exhilarating ski adventures and sun-drenched Mediterranean escapes, to dreamy winter-sun retreats across the Indian Ocean, Middle East, and Caribbean. Yet, the Seychelles remains a personal favourite: a paradise where those once-in-a-lifetime moments seem effortless, thanks to icing-sugar sands and idyllic lagoons.As your Travel Counsellor, I’ll guide you towards a Better Journey at every step – whether you’re chasing bucket-list experiences, seeking total relaxation, craving cultural adventures, or longing for meaningful family time. I’ll help you build a holiday that sparks pure joy and creates life-long, joyful memories. My personal service and meticulous planning mean you can truly relax, knowing every detail is in safe hands.Because I’m a flexible homeworker balancing family (and muddy cob) life, I’m here whenever you need – daytime, evenings, or weekends. Let’s make your next holiday not just a trip, but the first chapter in a story of cherished new memories.Let’s start planning your Better Journey today. Get in touch, and let’s create life-long memories you’ll treasure forever. -

I have been privileged to travel the world and visit some of the top destinations and hotels. I have especially enjoyed visiting numerous Caribbean islands as well as America and the Far East. If you prefer to stay closer to home, Spain and the Balearic’s as well as Turkey and the Greek Islands are all places I have made regular visits to both for work and pleasure. I have also experienced a number of cruises, something a lot of people are now enjoying as an alternative to the regular two week resort stay.As your personal Travel Counsellor I am here to help select and plan your perfect dream holiday or break and unlike high street agencies or impersonal on line websites, I can do this at a time to suit you either by phone, email at my home office or if you prefer and are local in your or home or a suitable meeting place. Nothing is too much trouble. Being a Travel Counsellor means I can be flexible so that I can be here for my customers when they need me. Because I work from home (which I love) I can be in the office when its suits me and my customers best, before work, evenings, weekends etc.The best thing about being a Travel Counsellor is hearing back from my customers on what a great holiday they have had. I love the satisfaction and pride this gives me. So I am really looking forward to planning your holiday for you and hearing all about it when you return so why not give me a call or drop me an email and lets start planning? -

+4401789868220Bespoke holidays, honest advice and concierge‑style care, whatever your budget.Hello, I am Shilpa,Thank you for taking the time to visit my page and get to know me a little better. Travel has been my passion for as long as I can remember, so turning it into a lifelong career felt completely natural. I have worked in the travel industry for over 38 years and have been a proud Travel Counsellor since 2001. I have never looked back.I specialise in tailor‑made itineraries and honeymoons, from elegant city stays and multi‑centre adventures to relaxing beach and villa escapes. Many of my clients choose to travel in a more luxurious way, with handpicked hotels, private transfers and special experiences, but I am just as happy working to a modest budget. For me, it is about finding the right trip for you, not simply the most expensive one.As a mum to two sons, now 20 and 22, I have been travelling on family holidays since they were babies. I understand how needs evolve over time, from baby‑friendly escapes and active teen adventures to trips that work beautifully for young adults too. I use that experience to match you with the right destination, hotel and pace to suit everyone.My own travels have taken me across the USA, India, South Africa, The Gambia, Cuba, Dubai and many places in Europe, too many to mention. I have travelled extensively throughout Italy and, having been married to an Icelander, I have been lucky enough to visit Iceland many times too. Alongside these, my specialist areas include Italy, Iceland, Asia, the Indian Subcontinent and Europe in general. These first‑hand insights, combined with my professional knowledge, allow me to give you honest advice and those little tips that make all the difference.Since Travel Counsellors introduced the Net Promoter Score in 2007, 100% of my clients who responded to our survey said they would be happy to recommend me personally to their friends, family and colleagues, consistently giving me a maximum score of 10/10.I would like to thank everyone who has already placed their trust in me and shared such lovely reviews. To those who are yet to experience my service, I very much look forward to hearing from you and helping to plan your next journey.Whatever travel means to you, from a simple short break to a complex, once‑in‑a‑lifetime journey, I will take care of every detail with personalised, one‑to‑one service, genuine attention to detail and over 38 years of experience.For regular travel inspiration, expert tips and my latest offers, you are very welcome to follow my Facebook page: simply search for “Shilpa Patel‑Emilsson Travel Counsellors” on Facebook and click Follow. -

+4401784780054My 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. -
