My name is Sharon Messett and I have more than 30 years’ experience in the travel industry, including 20 working as a Travel Counsellor. It’s a role I love, as it gives me the chance to embrace my passion for travel on a daily basis, exploring new destinations through my research as well as returning to old favourites. I find it enormously rewarding helping my clients find the best experience possible for the type of holiday they want, whether it be a ‘flop and drop’ family beachside holiday, or a luxury retreat.I have been fortunate to have travelled extensively myself; including trips to Australia, New Zealand, the South Pacific, Southeast Asia, Africa, North America and the Caribbean, and have gained intimate knowledge of these long-haul destinations. Now that I have children, I am enjoying discovering more short-haul destinations around Europe including some amazing road trips with them to central Europe. For me, one of the best things about travel is the freedom that it gives you – travel brings anticipation, education, excitement and the joy of adventure into your life!TRAVEL WITH A CONSCIENCE My travels have also shown me the positive and negative effects of tourism; at its best when it is supporting communities who rely on visitors for their income, and at its worst where over-tourism has had a detrimental effect on locals and the environment. Over time, this has given me the opportunity to reflect, and I have realised that I have a growing interest in sustainable tourism. I would like to help you to find holidays and destinations which are amazing experiences and have a minimal impact or preferably offer positive environmental footprints.Travelling sustainably and responsibly is becoming increasingly more and more important for many travellers, and as your Travel Advisor I can carefully consider how to assist in building your perfect itinerary to make your trip kind to both people and our planet. I believe that sustainable travel also helps us to have more authentic travel experiences – visiting unspoilt places and immersing in the local culture is one of my passions, and one that I share with many of my clients.BOOK WITH ME AND I’LL LOOK AFTER YOU When it comes to travel, it’s important to know that you are booking with someone dependable, who you can trust, and who understands your precise needs every step of the way. The close relationships I build with each and every one of my clients, and the levels of care I can provide as your Travel Advisor, means that no-one can look after you better than I will. It makes me extremely proud to know that so many of my customers have recommended my services to their family, friends and associates. Being an independent Travel Advisor means I am not restricted to using only major holiday companies and allows me to create the perfect trip for you. Booking through Travel Counsellors also gives you security, as your money is completely financially protected against supplier failure by ATOL and the unique Travel Counsellors Trust.LOOKING AHEAD – PLAN YOUR GETAWAY I am sure that many of you, like me, want to plan a holiday for 2025/2026 - to have something to look forward to. Let me provide you with first-hand expertise and information to inspire your next adventure and let's see where the next year takes you.If you are unable to travel yet, then the next best thing to travelling is talking about it and planning it. Therefore, if you can't yet go where you want to just yet, let's discuss your plans instead. Please give me a call or send me an email and we can have a chat!

Hi I'm Michael, thanks for reading my webpage.I am a travel expert based in Leeds with 36 years’ experience and I offer a bespoke service tailored to my clients' individual requirements. I arrange group, leisure and corporate travel to all parts of the world. My areas of speciality include travel to Europe, Southern Africa (especially amazing South Africa where I can offer a range of unique, sustainably focussed experiences that no one else in the UK travel trade offers), and also the Caribbean, United States & Asia. As the world opens up to travel again, regulations can change at the last minute. I am here to guide and advise my clients and take action in their best interests. My clients appreciate the care and attention I give to their travel plans, and Travel Counsellors offers insurance that will cover covid related claims.I am committed to playing my part in seeing that travel becomes more sustainable. Tourism is a key driver of many countries' economies, and we need to ensure that the benefits of it are shared fairly. In partnership with UK charity The Travel Foundation, I have undertaken training on sustainable travel practices, and conducted research into this subject in order to develop a range of tourist experiences in South Africa. These are focussed on ensuring there is the maximum possible economic benefit in the destination, and that this is shared as widely as possible. I am also recognised as a South Africa Specialist by South Africa Tourism in London. If you're looking for something a bit more personal and bespoke than what the high street chains and internet offer, and if you like the idea of having a professional look after your travel arrangements, saving you time, hassle and money. please give me a call for a chat - or send a message from the link on my webpage.Best wishesMichael

Sharon Bennett, Travel Agent, Bushey, Hertfordshire.Hello, my name is Sharon and I would like to welcome you to my personal webpage. I am based in Bushey, Hertfordshire and have been helping my clients with their travel arrangements for almost 30 years.I joined Travel Counsellors as I wanted to concentrate on giving my customers the highest possible levels of personal service and independent travel advice. Working from home without the distractions of the high street I am able to offer you exceptional customer service, 7 DAYS A WEEK and at a time convenient to you, listening to your needs to ensure that I find you a holiday that meets and exceeds your expectations.To me travel is not a job, but a passion and having visited many places talking about them is a joy!Early in my travel career I booked a lovely retired couple on a round-the-world trip. The itinerary I designed was so interesting, amazing sights to visit, first class hotels throughout that it inspired me to want to do the same! The following year I embarked on a similar journey visiting Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, the Hawaiian Islands and America. I stayed in first class hotels and visited the places that up until that point I had only dreamt of. I returned home 11 months later with a ridiculously high credit card bill, but no regrets and I was now armed with a wealth of information, and amazing memories and stories that I would one day tell my children.I honeymooned in Barbados, spent my first wedding anniversary in Jamaica, and have travelled to many places around the Globe as a single, couple and with my children. I know the importance of keeping the whole family amused , the hotels must have excellent kids clubs and are either on, or very close to the beach with good food and first rate adult facilities so that I can unwind and enjoy too! My top 3 favourite Mediterranean destinations are Italy Portugal and Greece.My career has taken me through all of the avenues that make up the travel industry, which include Retail High Street travel agencies, tour operating, Business Travel and even teaching Travel and Tourism at various London colleges.As a Personal Travel Counsellor I can take this experience, together with the knowledge gained from the numerous countries in the world that I have visited, to offer a full comprehensive service for my clients both holidays and Business travellers.Working as part of a network of independent travel consultants, I am not tied to selling one particular company’s holiday. In fact I have access to over four hundred companies. There is a unique system in place which no other travel agency or tour operator has access to, which enables me to book flights, accommodation and transfers separately - more often that not far cheaper than tour operator packages. I am a far better Travel Agent than webpage writer, so, whether your needs are that Business trip to secure contracts and network, or that weekend away to recharge your batteries, a special holiday with family and friends, sun, city, ski, or cruise, give me a call and let me personally help you to turn your travel needs and dreams into reality.Thank you for taking the time to visit my web page and I look forward to hearing from you soon.Sharon

My experiences began early. My Dad started his own travel business in the 1970s and I've been absorbed by the subject ever since. I went down another road for a while – a degree in accountancy, a Masters in IT – but the family business was way more interesting. I've never looked back. Travel has so many benefits. I'm proof of that, and have been lucky to see so many countries, cultures, resorts and… experiences. After more than twenty years in the industry, I've been running my own business since 2015. Edinburgh is my home.Please feel free to have a nosey around my website for some inspiration! www.gillianstewartholidays.com

Hello I’m Rebecca, Thank you for visiting my website. I was born and raised in Oxfordshire and live with my husband and two children in Didcot. Having worked in Travel for over twenty years I have gained great experience and knowledge from the industry. I started my career as a modern apprentice, learning all about retail travel, from there I moved on to work in business travel and now I am a Travel Counsellor. I personally feel that holidays should be wonderful experiences, whether a City Break or a World Cruise, alone, or spent with loved ones, meeting new friends, exploring, relaxing and storing treasured memories of happy times. I have personally travelled from Barbados to the Balearics, initially child free, but now with my husband and two children on many family trips to the Mediterranean. Because of this personal experience and with my knowledge of the Travel industry I know what I want from my holiday and plan it accordingly. If you are anything like me you spend the time between holidays planning your next adventure whilst revelling in the memories of your previous trip. I would therefore invite you to let me create your perfect memories..... Working for Travel Counsellors gives me the flexibility to research, plan and book your holiday. I believe holidays should be tailored to the needs of the individual and whatever your requirements I will do everything to accommodate your wishes. I am always available to offer the best practical advice and service and will do my utmost to ensure your travel arrangements are perfect for you. Whether your journey and destinations are for an individual or a group, be assured of my complete support and attention to detail. No matter how small or large your planned trip is, close to home or far away, please feel free to contact me for any help or advice I can give. I am here, to make that special break special. Thank you,

Hello and welcome!My name is Jan and I am here to help, advise and assist you in making your travel arrangements as perfect as possible. I have spent many years travelling and living abroad but am now enjoying a quiet life in the countryside. Actually, living with 2 dogs, 2 cats, 3 chickens and in a full renovation project means it is not quite as quiet as I would like it to be, but I am working towards it being so one day!I was in my late teens when I first went to work abroad in Germany and was immediately bitten by the bug of all things foreign. Everything intrigued me, from learning the language, appreciating a different culture, enjoying new culinary experiences and especially the pure adventure of it all. My first big trip was to the USA where I hitch hiked through a dozen states, which brought a wealth of weird and wonderful experiences. I then went on to finance my travels by working ski seasons and travelling a different continent each summer. Hence it was a natural progression for me to go onto work in travel and combine my experience and passion and I have now amassed over 30 years in the industry, mostly working as a travel consultant. During this time I have gained a wealth of knowledge about airlines, countries, different routes, specialist lodges, unique boutique accommodations and quality hotels. I take great pride in taking the time to find the ones you will enjoy most. I am a worldwide consultant but specialise in booking business class flights, quality hotels and designing bespoke itineraries – no two are ever the same! I believe that booking a holiday is a very personal experience and only by getting to know people, their tastes and interests that you can truly create the ideal itinerary for them. I think that the whole booking experience should be an enjoyable process from the first conversation to the unpacking of the suitcase. Working as a travel counsellor allows me to be completely flexible and independent in the way I work and thus being able to offer a customised, nothing is too much trouble, expert service to my clients. So if this sounds of interest or you would just like to have a chat or call for some advice then please don’t hesitate to get in touch.Happy travels, Jan

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

My name is Dave Beasley and I am an independent Business Travel Agent based in Solihull. I have been in the travel industry for over 30 years. I joined Travel Counsellors in 2006 and before that I worked for a number of blue chip travel organisations, predominantly in business travel. I joined Travel Counsellors as I wanted to concentrate on giving my customers the highest possible levels of personal service and independent travel advice. Travel Counsellors is one of the largest independent travel agencies in the UK. As your own professional 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 cheaper price than the standard holiday package you might get elsewhere. Travel Counsellors recognises that not everyone is free to discuss their travel arrangements during the working week.

Welcome! My name is Hannah, I love to travel and I love to help you travel too!Since a young age, I have been fortunate to travel many places and experience many different holiday types. My passion and love for travel is now apparent in my children and we are always planning and discussing our next get away. In the last few years, we have been lucky enough to have some amazing trips, in particular Lapland, Iceland, African Safari Adventure and our first taste of Asia. This summer we enjoyed some time in Devon and our annual trip to France. If you know me, you’ll know every year I say it’s the last and then off we go again! Secretly, we actually love it! It’s easy as we travel by ferry and even Lenny our Lab comes along! This year we went to Normandy for the first week and then travelled down to the Loire Valley for our second week. We’ve been to both areas before; Normandy is rich in its history and very interesting with the beaches and museums. The Loire Valley, renowned for its Chateaux’s, beautiful scenery and Rose Wine is a favourite of ours. Our Italian Adventure in October which saw us exploring Pisa, Florence, Lucca, and Siena and then a train down to Rome. We had an amazing time, fabulous food and locals and was great to fit so much in.This year we have Thailand to look forward to, we are visiting the North this time, rich in culture and traditions we're hoping to see another side of Thailand. Then in the summer the girls and I are off on our first cruise around Scandinavia! I've enjoyed visiting many cruise ships over the last couple of years and did cruise many moons ago but so much has changed, we are very much looking forward to it.I absolutely love hearing from you and helping you create wonderful memories. I truly care about your holiday, I treat it like my own; even down to producing local guides, recommending trips, local information, and restaurants if that is what you’d like. I work with you so that I can have a good understanding of what you and your travel companions would like. I have access to 1000’s of direct suppliers as well as well-known tour operators meaning I have the flexibility to create your perfect trip. If you already have an idea of what you’d like, that’s fine too, it might just take a bit of tweaking.When you book with me you have one point of contact (me!) on hand before, during and after your trip. Sometimes the unexpected happens and if it’s the middle of the night we have our amazing Duty Office who are 24/7 so even if you can’t get me, you know that you are looked after. Everything you book with me is 100% financially protected. Plus you're supporting a small independent business!Please do get in touch to see if I can help you. I am based at home, so can arrange a convenient time to suit you.Thanks so much and look forward to hearing from you.Hannah

Thank you for stopping by! It's Oscar here, your personal Travel Counsellor from Chichester, West Sussex, but I can also provide travel advice, recommendations and inspiration to you regardless of which corner of the planet you find yourself in!I am enthusiastic about everything I do, and I bring that enthusiasm with me when planning and curating dream travel itineraries for my cherished clients. I specialise in bespoke luxury travel arrangements and ensure that my clients receive travel suggestions that are personalised to their likes, dislikes and preferences, and those of their travelling party. I get to know my clients on a far more personal basis than traditional travel providers such as online booking sites, tour operators, and high street travel agents would ever bother to do. Get in touch to find out the methods to my madness...!Whilst tailored luxury travel arrangements may be my speciality, I channel my passion and enthusiasm into helping clients book a variety of travel options. From your all-inclusive resort holidays, to simply adding on another hotel stay to an existing holiday or even month-long expeditions across the North Pole, I've got you covered and make absolutely sure that every aspect of your itinerary is right for you. Some call me the Goldilocks of travel, ensuring everything is just right, but don't feel obliged to follow suit..!"So how exactly is that possible?" I hear you ask. Well, the answer is very simple. Being part of the award-winning Travel Counsellors community gives me access to over 2000 destination experts so, when there's a gap in my knowledge, I will still always be able to provide you with local suggestions from people who have first-hand experience of that location in the click of a finger. Combine that with a best-in-class tools-and-tech system, a behind-the-scenes support team who are on hand to assist 24-7 with rapid responses wherever you find yourself, a marketing department that enables me to share with you the latest travel deals, offers and travel updates the moment they are released, and access to thousands of trade-only suppliers who provide the best rates and travel opportunities that you may not have even known existed, and you find yourself a travel guru that can turn your dream trips and holidays into reality.Do you find yourself still wanting more?! Well fortunately for you, Oliver Twist, there is more!! My clients benefit from a multitude of other offerings that come as standard including low deposit payments, full financial protection from ATOL licensing and the Travel Counsellors Trust alongside other forms of financial security, and convenient communication channels, as well as saving time that would otherwise be spent with your nose in front of a computer endlessly researching your next holiday destination. So join my clients and start booking your travel the right way.Why choose me specifically? Great question. Apart from my unwavering enthusiasm and attention to the finest details, I am a sucker for exploring different cultures and have not only been fortunate enough to have visited some amazing destinations including Thailand, the Caribbean, Mexico, the USA and even the Galapagos Islands, but I have also spent time living in various places such as Marbella, Barcelona, Tenerife (hablo Español!), the French Alps, and Finnish Lapland in the height of winter where temperatures dropped as low as -35°C! On top of that, I have spent the majority of my adult life working in luxury hotels such as The Ritz-Carlton, Marriott's luxury-lifestyle brand, The Edition, and the massively up-and-coming Sani Ikos chain. So it's fair to say I know pretty well what's possible when it comes to hotel stays and can give insider recommendations to clients looking into booking a luxury hotel as part of their travel itinerary.If you think I can be of assistance for an upcoming holiday, I'd love to hear from you! Thank you again for visiting my page and I hope to speak soon!

Hi My name is Dave Jopling and I have recently joined Travel Counsellors working from my home town of York. I have lived in the York area on and off for over 40 years. If I have ever had to move away for whatever reason I have always had the urge to move back as it's just a great place to live and work.I have been employed in the Travel Industry for 34 years in both the Leisure and Business travel sectors. During this time I have lived and worked all over the country and have been providing all the various travel products from the more complicated flight itineraries with hotels and car hire etc to passport and visa information and everything in between. Because of a combination of my Business Travel background and my knowledge gained over the years of air fare structures and the independant hotel rates that Travel Counsellors have at their fingertips I firmly believe that I can give a new dimension to the long haul leisure travel market.You can stay for as long as you want or even extend stays if you so prefer and you can travel in First, Business or Economy class or any combination and much more. It really does open new doors for you. I have been very fortunate over the years due to being in the travel industry to have travelled all over the world. These experiences have enabled me to gather invaluable knowledge on a vast array of destinations. My favourite part of the world is definitely the Far East as it has such an array of different experiences. You can just relax on some of the best beaches in the world or you can shop 'till you drop in places such as Hong Kong, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur or Tokyo. Anything is possible.With Travel Counsellors you have an organisation with global buying power, security, reliability and a name you can really trust. I think the service you will receive, you will find is second to none.If you need any more information about either myself or Travel Counsellors, please either email or telephone me on the details above. I look forward to hearing from you soonKind RegardsDave

Hi, I'm Amy, I live in Reading with my partner and two children.I have worked for an industry-leading travel agency for 10years where I specialised in creating tailormade travel itineraries. During this time I've have been so lucky to have visited 5 continents and experience some absolutely magical experiences along the way. My depth of travel knowledge started as a backpacker in my 20's and since having a family has shifted towards family travel. Along this journey I have been lucky enough to experience some of the most luxurious travel brands and destinations in the world. Some of the highlights have been the Maldives, Oman, Dubai, Seychelles and Japan. I love to seek out adventure as well as luxury and have taken trips to trek with the Mountain Gorilla's of Rwanda, hike the Ancient Inca Trail and walk along the icon Great Wall of China. The sounds, smells, food, culture and experiences of a new destination is what makes me happy in life. There is nothing better than visiting somewhere different in the world, variety in life is everything.My favourite Destination: Japan My last Trip: Majorca My Next Trip: Royal Caribbean Europe Cruise Bucket List Destination: Galapagos IslandsWorking with clients to design and tailor their travel experiences is a true privilege and to continually learn about different cultures and destinations is priceless.

My insatiable wanderlust first began back in 2004 as I stepped barefoot on the sugar white sands of Koh Samet in Thailand. If I close my eyes, I'm right back there in a flash. Since then I've travelled to some of the world's most untouched places, collecting an encyclopedia of knowledge along the way. I've sailed to the remote Indonesian island of Flores to see Komodo dragons and swam in the incredible Kuang Si Falls of Luang Prabang. I've sipped the finest wines in South Africa's Delaire Graff Estate and shopped for spices in India's colourful markets.It’s these life-enriching moments that I love to create for my clients. Being fully independent means it's less about the corporate bottom-line and more about the client experience. Before you book, I spend time getting to really know you - the things you love and anything you loathe. Prefer a window seat on your flight? No problem. Keen to steer clear of crowds? Noted. I'll build a relationship with you that can be likened to a trusted friend, with the back-up of full ATOL financial protection should something go wrong. When it comes to the type of travel I organise, tailormade trips, luxury long-haul, honeymoons and family-friendly holidays are my expertise. For anything else, my network of 2,000+ Travel Counsellors are on hand to help me find the perfect holiday to suit your needs.If this sounds like the type of service you're looking for, I'd love to chat. Call or email me anytime and I'll be in touch!

Hello and Thank you for visiting my website.My name is Carmel Curran and I live in Derry/Londonderry in NI. I am married to Mark and we have a lovely daughter Marissa.Before becoming a Travel Counsellor I worked in front-line banking for 32 years. However travel has always been my passion! For the last 40 years I have travelled the world, both as part of a couple and also as a family and becoming part of Travel Counsellors means I can bring my own personal experiences directly to my customers.

I have visited most of mainland Europe and its islands, the Caribbean - Jamaica, Bahamas, Dominican Republic, Mexico as well as Egypt, Dubai and Sri Lanka.

I have visited New York on several occasions and I also love European city breaks. As well as personal travel, I have also made business travel arrangements.When I am travelling to any destination, I love the research, planning and booking almost as much as the travel and holiday - getting all the handy tips - its all part of the experience.I always pride myself on excellent customer service and this is what I will be bringing to you when you book any of your travel arrangements with me.

My name is Joanna and I am based in the leafy Chilterns in Amersham, Buckinghamshire.I have 30 years of experience in travel and am fortunate to have explored many destinations around the world. I craft unique, personalised trips for clients using my extensive travel knowledge and expertise. Travel enriches our lives in countless ways, whether it be through the discovery of new landscapes and cultures, creating cherished family memories or simply broadening our own horizons. I will make your holiday as carefree as possible, providing support and advice before you travel and throughout your trip.My father was a navigator in the RAF, flew private planes and worked for the Civil Aviation Authority. I flew on private planes before commercial ones and ‘assisted’ the inspection of runways in the Scottish Highlands! I embarked on my first own travel adventure at 18, on a six-month backpacking trip to India, Southeast Asia and Australia. On 30-hour bus rides in India, learning to dive the Great Barrier Reef and trekking in Thailand, I made lifelong friends and wonderful memories.I knew that I would never work in any other industry other than travel. After university, where I spent a term at college in the U.S. and traversed the country by Amtrak, I joined STA Travel working my way from long-haul telesales to a regional sales manager. I led a group trip to China, holidayed in Mexico, Belize and Guatemala, continued my diving adventures in the Caribbean, Fiji and the Cook Islands and fell in love with Sri Lanka. Following maternity leave, I worked for a luxury travel PR & marketing agency, representing prestigious small ships, private islands, five-star resorts and boutique city hotels. I also arranged trips for top travel journalists and influencers. I am married with three children (and a lively Labrador) and love nothing more than planning family holidays, whether it is skiing and summer trips to the Alps, holidays under canvas, beach stays in the Caribbean (St Lucia is a family favourite), a Disneyland Florida family celebration, a multigenerational city break to Berlin and an epic family Odyssey across Italy and France by plane, train and automobile! This year I travelled with my youngest son (aged 12) to Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve, South Africa. It was a joy to see him so engaged and inspired by the incredible conservation and community projects. He learnt more about the exceptional wildlife from his time spent with the outstanding rangers and trackers than from any classroom lesson.I would be delighted to help plan your next travel adventure, whether you are going solo, in a couple or travelling with friends and family. From a ski trip, relaxing beach or cultural/foodie city break, long-haul adventure, spa and wellness holiday to dream honeymoon or cruise, I suggest options to suit your budget that are crafted with care and attention to detail. I’ll put an emphasis on thoughtful, bespoke travel experiences reflecting your interests and preferences. Things you won’t find in standard travel brochures…On the off chance that I have not been to a particular region, I am supported by a team of expert Travel Counsellor colleagues with knowledge of everywhere around the globe. When you are ready to book, I make all the arrangements for you – travel and transfers, accommodation and experiences in your destination.When a holiday is booked with me your money is protected by a financial trust and ATOL giving you 100% peace of mind. You have access to help and advice 24/7 for the duration of your holiday. I look forward to hearing from you and to arranging a call or personal meeting.JoannaTTG Luxury Travel Awards 2025 – New Luxury Travel Designer of the Year Finalist

With almost 30 years’ experience in the travel industry, I look forward to helping you with your travel arrangements whether that be a short break in the UK, a weekend in a stylish European city, a cruise or even a round the world holiday of a lifetime.I live in Manchester with my husband and two children, my daughter Madison who has now graduated from University and is living the start of her adult life. Jaxon is my musical child playing 3 instruments (drums, guitar and piano) plus he competes in Trampoline.I have worked for various travel agencies. My first one was Going Places many moons ago, and I was bitten by the travel bug. I have worked for a large tour operator and also worked for a corporate business travel house. I left travel briefly to work in the family business, however I found I missed it terribly as travel really is my passion and when I decided that I wanted to go back, there really was only one company I would consider going to and that was Travel Counsellors. They are the best of the best. I have been lucky to have travelled a lot in my lifetime including Europe, Caribbean, USA including Las Vegas, which is one of my favourite places, Dubai, The Maldives, The Far East including Singapore and Thailand. I took my mother to Thailand for her 50th Birthday, she says it was a trip of a lifetime for her. I have been to Australia and the French Polynesian islands including Bora Bora where I worked as a holiday program presenter for a well-known Travel Tour Operator. I have done several cruises and I also achieved captain status award for Royal Caribbean/Celebrity Cruises and Azamara by completing all their product training. One of my ultimate favourite trips was Christmas Eve 2015 I took my children and my mum to Lapland to search for the real Father Christmas, it was magical.A lot of people ask me what my favourite holiday is to organise, and I have to say that an multi-centre holidays get me excited, trying to fit all the pieces together is like a fabulous puzzle. Travel Counsellors have a high standard of customer care and this is one of the most important things for me, I always will go the extra mile for you as my customers, so if there is anything I can do to make your trip even more special please do ask and if it’s in my power, then you can consider it done.A lot of people think using a personal travel advisor is going to cost them a lot more but I can tell you it doesn’t and the best part of all is you have the peace of mind of having someone at the end of the phone if something doesn’t quite go to plan and that is really priceless.I really do look forward to hearing from you and helping you your next trip whatever that may be or wherever that may take you.

Hello there and thank you for visiting my web page – let me introduce myself. My name is Clare and I live in Cheadle Hulme, a small village in South Manchester with my husband, daughter and new addition a lively Springer Spaniel.I have worked in the Travel Industry for almost 20 years in both Leisure and Corporate and honestly cannot imagine working in another industry. I started as a Leisure Travel Consultant for a large high street chain which specialised in Tailor-Made itineraries but I soon realised that no matter where the dream I wanted to be the one to make it come true. This could be a UK Staycation, a weekend city break, annual week or two in the sun or a bucket list dream trip. I excelled in building long trusting relationships with my clients that saw them return again and again.I moved over to Corporate Travel following the birth of my daughter and used those tools of building relationships with my clients to ensure long lasting partnerships. There is no trip small or large or component of the trip that I cannot organise for your business.I am excited to be part of the Travel Counsellors family as this will enable me to offer a truly flexible and independent service. I understand that not all travel can be organised during the typical 9-5 so I am her 24/7 365 days a year. Travel is still my addiction and I feel blessed to have visited so many wonderful countries across the globe. I am currently at 42 countries and try to add a new one each year. I often get asked where is my favourite place and whilst it is difficult New Zealand certainly is a stand out country and it is my aim to get back there with my family one day.With my extensive experience and destination knowledge I look forward to working with you to give you the best Travel Experience.

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!

I’ll take the time to thoughtfully create a trip that’s tailored to you and your family or friends, leaving you free to concentrate on making memories!Some of my own best holiday memories are the joy of wall to wall sunshine in Portugal, hearing the roar of lions on safari in South Africa, tasting the best pad Thai in Thailand, seeing my 3 children outside all day on the slopes in Norway and feeling like I’m on a movie set in Las Vegas!I’ve appreciated the value of travel since my very first job as a receptionist at the YHA on Oxford Street in London, where I loved meeting people who were travelling for every possible reason! Since then, I’ve enjoyed relaxing holidays as a break from corporate life, been lucky enough to experience the luxury of a first class flight to New York whilst working for British Airways and had fun with my children marvelling at the freedom of a resort, the joy of an all-inclusive buffet and the magic of a private swimming pool. I'm passionate about travel bringing joy and being a force for good in building connections, seeing new perspectives and even improving cultural understanding. It’s a privilege to help people see the world, find their ‘wow’ moments, and enjoy something special.From long before you travel until the moment you return, I’ll help you make the most of your precious time and resources on the holiday that’s right for you.

I am a Travel Counsellor living in Chalfont St Giles. Chalfont St Giles is a great place to live; a great community, in a lovely area including fantastic Bluebell woods, and great schools. My husband and I have lived in the area for over 20 years and our sons grew up and went to school locally, even though they are grown up one or other or both of them periodically live with us. As someone who loves travel, being close but not too close to all forms of transport, airports, ports, channel tunnel and Central London for the Eurostar and evenings out is an added benefit. I love organising travel and holidays for others. Whether it is a once in a lifetime holiday to New Zealand, a luxury cultural city break for two in Nice, or a big family ski trip (dog and grandparents included) I can organize it, leaving you free to look forward and enjoy your trip. Cruising is one of my specialities and with the number of different cruise lines, destinations and inclusive options available I will be happy to discuss which would be most suitable for your needs. Due to my husband being a very keen sailor, I have organised sailing trips for us to Greece, Turkey, The British Virgin Islands and my favourite, Tobago Cays in St Vincent and the Grenadines in the Caribbean, ( where swimming with turtles and rays was magical). This has given me first hand experience with the logistics of wind powered travel as well as an intimate knowledge of the aforementioned areas.For me being a Travel Counsellor means that I am there for you, and not just during office hours. I will be able to offer you impartial advice and help you find the best travel option to suit your needs as well as exceptional customer service tailored to your requirements.

I 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!

Australia and New Zealand hold special memories too! Despite visiting over 50 countries around the world I still have a long travel wish list. My inquisitive mind would love to hear about your holiday ambitions and I will enthusiastically research less-familiar destinations whether in the U.K. or overseas.

My name is Charley and I’m based in Wells, Somerset where I live with my partner, children and two giant ginger cats.With over 13 years of travel industry experience, I’ve worked for both a high-end bespoke touring company and a luxury high street travel agent. What sets me apart from both companies, and certainly from online booking agents, is that I’m here to offer my clients unrivalled support throughout their entire holiday experience, from the first time we speak to after they’ve returned from their travels. I’ll be available to advise and answer any pre-travel questions, assist with all the extras that make a vacation truly special, such as room requests, dining reservations and experiences, and I’ll be there to help in worst-case scenarios, if anything goes wrong. Essentially think of me as your own personal travel concierge!My favourite place on earth is New Zealand, where I was lucky enough to live for nearly three years. In my opinion there is nowhere more visually beautiful, with its mountains, glaciers and lakes, white sand beaches and wineries, and honestly the friendliest locals you could meet. My other favourite travel memories are being within a couple of metres of three rhinos in Kruger National Park, seeing bears in Sequoia National Park (California) and travelling solo through the Tibetan mountains of southwest China – which hosts some of the most stunning scenery I’ve seen.I could talk about travel and my experiences for days, but my other passion is creating bespoke and personal itineraries to share with my clients so they can explore the places they’ve always dreamt of visiting. From luxury rail travel across Canada, to complex multi-stop cities in the USA, to your first safari in Africa or beach hopping in Thailand and Malaysia, I love the challenge of piecing it all together.As well as tailormade touring, I also work with a huge range of suppliers and resorts and can arrange everything from skiing to Caribbean beach holidays, from a weekend away in Europe to a cruise around the arctic or the Mediterranean. Anything booked through me (no matter how big or small) is fully protected financially and any flight inclusive trips are ATOL protected as well.As I work from home I am able to speak with clients at a time that suits them – whether this is during standard office hours, in the evenings or at weekends. I’m happy to arrange video calls or can even catch up for a chat over a coffee somewhere – my flexibility means I can work around them.I can be contacted over the phone, Skype, Whatsapp, Facebook or Instagram – give me a shout anytime as I can’t wait to discuss your next trip!
