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.

I’m a Travel Counsellor who specialises in creating calm, beautifully organised travel for busy women and families. As a mum of two, I understand how precious time is — and how overwhelming it can feel to plan a holiday around real life. My goal is to make travel effortless for you, with every detail taken care of.Before becoming a Travel Counsellor, I worked with British Airways — an experience that gave me a deep understanding of airlines, fares, cabin classes, routes and how to get the best value out of flights. That insider knowledge is now a huge part of the service I offer. It means I can spot smarter options, avoid common pitfalls and tailor journeys that feel smooth from take-off to landing.While family travel is a natural speciality for me, I plan every kind of trip: luxury escapes, adult-only retreats, tailor-made itineraries, group adventures, special celebrations and once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Whatever you’re dreaming of, you’ll have personal support from start to finish, expert guidance, and a seamless journey shaped around what matters most to you.If you want travel that feels easy, organised and completely looked after, I’d love to help you plan your next escape.

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

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

Hi, My name is Jackie Cook; I now live in Northamptonshire but have lived all over the UK and spent 8 years in France. I am married with one son who recently got married.I have worked in the travel industry for 42 years. I have gained experience in different areas of the industry and have been very fortunate to have travelled extensively during that time. Living in France from the age of 12 gave me an opportunity which only later did I appreciate. I speak fluent French and started my interest in working in the travel industry. I joined Seaspeed Hovercarfts in Dover when I was 18 which then became Hoverspeed and this is where I met my husband who is from Dover. The summers were great down at the Hoverport but not so much in the winter!My next positions really became as I followed my husband with his job moves so in 1984 we moved to Peterborough and I joined Thomas Cook. Their training then was fabulous and soon became a travel agent for the first time. We then moved to Leicestershire and like my husband we joined Page and Moy where I stayed for 11 years until I moved to Travel Counsellors in March 2000My favourite European city has always been Paris, and some recent holidays have been spent cruising on a canal boat in different parts of France. Ask me more about that; it’s a wonderful way to relax and meet the locals. We do also love the Greek islands and have visited many over the years. This year was Crete for the first time but we need to go again as it is a large island and we only saw a small part of it.I have been fortunate in that the companies I have worked for have seen a benefit in allowing me to travel for educational purposes to countries I would never have expected to visit. These include Peru and the magical Machu Picchu, South Africa and Kenya on exciting safaris, the Caribbean, cruising (on ships as well as canal boats!), Thailand and Malaysia and many more. They even tried to teach me to dive in the Great Barrier Reef. (I did not pass but at least I completed the course!). The latest trip was to New Orleans, what an exciting city that is. If I have not visited a destination you may be interested in, the Travel Counsellors message board will allow me to find out the answers to your questions. Someone will know.When you call my number, it will be me who answers; this allows me to build up a rapport with my clients, who then return to me year after year for their holiday arrangements.We have a 24 hour duty office who are there at the end of a phone line when there is a hurricane , a cancelled flight, companies going bust at the last minute, helping us with clients who become ill or need to get home quickly. This is such a benefit to have when something goes wrong, but also they keep us updated with latest visa and health requirements. Please give me a try and I promise you will not be disappointed. I will offer to you the best possible professional service you could hope to receive. I look forward to hearing from you,Jackie

Hi, I’m Laura Finlay, and I’m still pinching myself that I get to call this work! I live in Greater Manchester, am married to a wonderful husband and, fun fact, I do double duty: I’m still teaching and running my Dance Studio while also channeling my lifelong passion for travel by helping others plan theirs.My journey into travel truly took flight with Emirates as Cabin Crew, where I was whisked away to countless cities and countries. Each new airport code, every culture I experienced firsthand, and the joy of serving others inspired me; sparking both wanderlust and a commitment to extraordinary customer care.Dance has been another constant in my life. For nearly twenty years, I’ve taught and managed my own Dance School and Studio. That experience has taught me to nurture creativity, precision, and joy, and those same qualities now shape the itineraries I craft. Over time, friends and clients started coming to me for travel advice, unsolicited. They trusted me to help them choose where to go, where to stay, and how to make their travel dreams feel personal and seamless. After years of doing it for those I care about, I finally decided to follow that nudge and become a Travel Counsellor - and to continue teaching dance, too!I absolutely love creating journeys that resonate deeply. Maybe you dream of the roar of lions and wide-open skies on safari in Kruger National Park, or maybe you're craving ultimate serenity in an overwater bungalow in the Maldives, where every sunrise paints the ocean. Or, perhaps, you want to wander through smaller Spanish towns, hopping from tapas bar to boutique shop, soaking up local charm. I specialise in safari adventures, luxury escapes, and family-friendly trips that feel effortless yet extraordinary.What sets my approach apart is the blend of educator and aviator: precision meets warmth. I plan with creativity and care, founded in my teaching roots, refined by years of in-flight hospitality and customer service, and rooted in authenticity. Planning should never feel overwhelming: instead, it should be about excitement, discovery, and those “yes, this is exactly what I wanted” moments. And since I still teach and run my Studio and am an independent Travel Counsellor, I deeply understand time, balance, and creating something meaningful, whether in movement or in travel: offering flexible availability to suit your schedule whilst proudly being ATOL-protected; enabling you to travel with complete peace of mind knowing that your holiday is financially secured. So simply send me an email, DM on Instagram, or give me a call: whether you're planning a family reunion, a luxury getaway, or a wildlife adventure, I'm here every step of the way, from initial chat to landing back home with lifelong memories, I can't wait to help!

Hi everyone and welcome to my personal Travel Counsellors webpage! Fun fact: loading this up is your first step towards creating lifelong memories and the best holidays that you've ever been on.That's a pretty big claim and I'm sure there were a few eyes being rolled and some sceptical tutting, but helping you experience things that stay with you forever is why I started on this journey, it's my passion and what all of the Travel Counsellors team and suppliers fully buy in to. Caring about you and your travel companions more than you ever thought a travel agent or tour operator possibly could is what makes the business viable. If you're the kind of person that loves to research, plan & book everything themselves then why not challenge me to see if I can do better? If you don't know where to start, where you want to go, or even what a passport is then I can help with all of that. Use my expertise as little or as much as you want, and if I don't know the answer then I'll ask one of the thousands of colleagues or suppliers I have that are living, working & travelling all across the world. That's the great thing about being a Travel Counsellor - I'm totally independent. You're all different, with unique personalities and things that make you tick so I can use that to match your desires up with the perfect holiday. Remember that whatever your budget, whatever your circumstances, whatever you class as luxury, I will create trips that are for YOU at amazing value. I can create your two-week summer beach holidays, city breaks, honeymoons, cruises, stag/hen parties, road trips, safaris, back-packing, Kilimanjaro climbs, a hotel in Newport for a random FA Cup 3rd round tie and everything in between. However, if it's Disney/Universal/Orlando related then I'll be extra excited on your behalf.What about financially, can you trust me as your Travel Counsellor? Absolutely. Customer funds are held in a trust and we only work with suppliers that agree to be paid once you're home. If things aren't delivered then no ifs, no buts, your money is paid back. Packages are ATOL protected and when Covid-19 hit, guess which company was voted best by MoneySavingExpert for how they dealt with their customers during the pandemic? Travel Counsellors, and by some margin.I could type all day about what sets Travel Counsellors apart, and if you have any other questions about the business then please get in touch. Now a little bit about me. I love to be methodical and plan everything. If a spreadsheet can be made to assist then you can bet your bottom dollar I'll be creating one. This mentality has been fully invested in becoming a Travel Counsellor and should give you the confidence that each part of your itinerary is there for a very well-considered reason. In my spare time I operate a personal chauffeur service for my two wonderful kids to ensure they never miss any of their activities. You may hear me question how often the car needs filling with diesel but watching them train and play for their grassroots teams is probably my 'happy place'. As a family, we love to travel, anything from a Spanish all-inclusive, Orlando theme parks or to sporting events and gigs. We recently transformed a room within our house into a pub including a big screen, memorabilia and dart board where we spend a lot of time with our friends whilst losing to our 10-year old at darts with ever increasing regularity. My contact details can be found on this page and I can make myself available whenever suits. Want to talk holidays after you've put the kids to bed, not a problem. Fancy meeting for a brew and cake whilst going over your requirements - champion! Let's do this.

Hello there. I’m Jo, an independent travel professional based in Didsbury, South Manchester, and I've been helping customers with their many and varied travel plans since I launched my Travel Counsellors business back in 2015. I am proud to have retained my Gold Status at Travel Counsellors for the last 8 years, and to be recongnised in the top 5% of TCs globally.I pride myself on being able to get the bottom of what customers are really looking for from a holiday; in understanding their motivations and on delivering great service. I find the personal approach works wonders in getting to the heart of what my customers really want, and I love to talk things through with my clients. I enjoy a very high level of repeat business (over 80%) and my business has grown enormously over the years, almost exclusively from word of mouth recommendations (you won't find me on Instagram or posting offers on facebook).I’ve always (since 1998) adored working in this wonderful industry and I live and breathe travel. My most recent long haul adventures been to Namibia, South Africa, Costa Rica, Maurituis and Thailand. Over the years I’ve been fortunate enough to have lived in France and Spain, and holidayed in (to name but a few) Italy, Greece, Cyprus, Turkey, Croatia, Morocco, Malta, Portugal, Montenegro, Austria, Slovenia, Switzerland, Holland, Lithuania, Maldives, Mexico, Bali, Kenya and Tanzania. I was also lucky enough in the 2010s to spend three long and memorable summers with my young family travelling round Canada, USA and Brazil respectively. I’m a keen skier too, and I’ve matched many happy skiers with their perfect resorts in Europe, Canada, USA and Japan.So, whether you’re looking for a special family holiday, a honeymoon, a last-minute city break, a ski trip, luxury cruise, or planning the tailor-made holiday of a lifetime, please do get in touch. I know how easy it can be to lose hours of your life trawling the internet searching through a minefield of information. If you’d just like to talk to a real human being who will curate all that online information for you and distil it into what’s right for you, your travelling companions and your budget then I’m here to take the hassle out of booking your next holiday.I look forward to talking travel with you!

Having travelled extensively, I can fully appreciate what can make or break your dream holiday. In a competitive world, I can promise to get the best holiday or flights to suit your requirements. The difference between me and Mr Internet.com is that I care about getting the right holiday for you. My rule of thumb is would I stay there myself?You need look no further if you want to have confidence that you are dealing with the best travel company in the business. I have all round experience in travel, especially tailor-made holidays and business travel. Personal knowledge on recent trips include Patagonia, Brazil, Bali and Java, Canada from Newfoundland to Vancouver Island, Alaska, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Hawaii, Norway from top to bottom, Russia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Borneo, New Zealand, Australia, New England, Riviera Maya Mexico and Florida. I have also been to quite a few cities around the world, including New York, Washington, Las Vegas and Boston. I can also recommend cruising, having cruised with my family around the Med, Baltics, Hawaii, Alaska and the Caribbean, and more recently a lifelong bucket list trip, cruising from South America to Antarctica, and more recently Svalbard and Greenland. I have family in Iceland, so am gradually exploring this untamed beautiful country. If you are planning a honeymoon or wedding abroad look no further and give me a call. Many of my clients have entrusted me with booking this special holiday and I fully appreciate how important it is to get it right. I can give you personal advice on destinations such as Bali, Mauritius, Seychelles, various Caribbean Islands, Malaysia, Japan and Thailand, having visited these as well. Want to go somewhere different for a few days? How about searching for the Northern Lights, in Norway, Sweden or Iceland, enjoy a husky sledging trip or a stay in an Ice Hotel. There's nothing like a dawn balloon trip over the unique landscapes of Cappadocia in Turkey. There are some historically interesting cities in Europe, worth a visit, such as Rome, Florence, Dubrovnik, Bergen, Tallinn. Budapest or Prague.

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. My company’s award winning technology enables me to work from home and means you can contact me at times when most other travel agents are unavailable, including evenings and weekends. I have a vast personal experience of many destinations including Europe, Africa, Middle East, North & South America, Caribbean and the Far East. I can help you arrange any part of your travel arrangements – so whether you just need a flight to Barcelona or a last minute holiday to Florida I can help. As part of a large organisation I can also have access to 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 also 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.

Hi, I'm Soozie, Welcome to my webpage. I am your personal Travel Counsellor based in Bookham in Surrey where I live with my husband, son and 2 dogs Max & Dexter.I have been travelling from a young age on family holidays, then got the bug as a teenager to travel further afield to more exotic destinations such as the Far East and the Indian Ocean. I also said "I DO" in Las Vegas as we wanted to do something different, and visited the Gran Canyon which is another great experience! Favourite Destination?This one is tough as each holidays are so different but I loved the Maldives for the white sands and for the Marine life watching the Manta Rays gliding around in the water gracefully in the evening was so beautiful, and seeing baby sharks while stood at the water edge! The fish were amazing while snorkelling and beaches are stunning of course! The adventure does start on the seaplane landing on the pristine white beaches which takes your breath away..But also I think Mauritius is just as good and also one of my top sellers .. here you have the advantage of being able to hire a car and explore the island and be totally safe! Here I also sell lots of weddings. I also love the far east for culture and diversity and Thai food! So where will your favourite destination be..? I have been working in travel for over 20 years and it's always been my passion! Starting off on the High Street, until I took the plunge and worked from home, which was the best choice for me, Travel Counsellors are an award winning company, and have a unique Travel trust which means everything I book is 100% safe and my customers are covered.

As part of the Travel Counsellors family, I have access to their special relationships with airlines and preferential rates with thousands of suppliers all over the world. There’s no longer a reason to spend endless hours searching online or stand needlessly waiting in a travel agency, I am available to discuss your personal travel requirements, at your convenience, including evenings and weekends, and can offer everything you can find on the high street and more.The other good news is, absolutely every part of your trip booked through me is 100% financially protected, through either ATOL or the Travel Counsellors Trust, which is the best in the business. It means that you have complete peace of mind that your money is safe.Originally from London, I have also lived in Australia and currently reside in rural South Lanarkshire with my 3 children, a stone’s throw from Edinburgh and Glasgow. Before having children I travelled extensively, having visited more than 20 countries across 5 continents, so I’m no stranger to overseas adventures. After becoming a parent, my passion for travel didn’t change but my travel needs did - it’s amazing how something seemingly trivial can make or break a holiday with young children (I had 3 under 2 years old at one point!) so I truly appreciate that everyone’s needs are unique. You can rest assured I will research every tiny detail to make your trip perfect for you and ensure you are well looked after, not only before, but during and after your holiday too, and best of all - this comes at no extra cost to you.So whether you are looking for a family holiday, cruise, adventure holiday, overseas wedding, honeymoon or any other trip, I would love to talk to you either in person over a coffee, over the phone, via email or even Skype about what you are looking for.

For you this means I do the time consuming research and booking whilst you get to relax with the reassurance that every detail has been thought through.

I’ve skied in the Alps, Norway, Canada and the USA, sailed around Europe, climbed many mountains and swam in many seas.

I’m Vicky — your personal travel concierge and passionate travel expert.One of my favourite quotes is, "The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page." That line has always spoken out to me and is one I like to remind others of. My love for travel began in childhood, spending blissful days on the beach in Tenby — to little me, it felt like another world entirely. Since then, the travel bug never left me. It’s led me down the most beautiful paths, filling my heart and soul with unforgettable memories.From cycling solo through the colourful rhythms of Cuba, to mother-son moments in Tasmania — eating fresh oysters on Maria Island and sharing space with friendly wombats and curious possums. I've learned ceramics in charming Monopoli and had the joy of meeting the oldest resident of the magical Trulli in Alberobello. I’ve driven through the dreamy Douro Valley in a camper van, trekked the mighty Annapurna, and road-tripped across the USA with my daughters by my side. Hiked many paths and walked on many beaches across the globe.I've explored 39 countries (and counting!) and each adventure has been a chapter in the most beautiful story — one I want to help you begin or continue, too.These days, I split my time between the rolling hills of Cheltenham in the Cotswolds and the calming sea breeze of Hannafore in West Looe — two places that bring me so much joy. I share life with my three grown-up children, my sweet dog Dixie, and Tommy the three-legged cat who always keeps things interesting!With over 35 years in the leisure and hospitality industry, my heart truly lies in creating experiences that feel thoughtful, joyful, and just right.

Travel has been my world since I was 16, starting as an apprentice on the high street and working my way up to branch manager.

I’ve visited 65 countries (and counting!) and I still get the same buzz every time I set foot in a new destination.One of the true highlights of my journey was living in South Africa, a destination that stole my heart and continues to inspire me every day. Africa is my sweet spot: from the wide plains of Kenya’s Masai Mara to the winelands and coastlines of South Africa, I know how to unlock its magic for my clients. Whether it’s luxury safari lodges, hidden gems, or once in a lifetime wildlife encounters, this is where my expertise really shines.Travel isn’t just my job; it’s who I am.

Hi, I'm Scarlett and I'm a Travel Counsellor based in Newcastle upon Tyne. Thank you so much for stopping by!Travel has been part of my life for as long as I can remember, from family holidays as a child to planning my own adventures the moment I was old enough to book them myself. That early passion led me to study Travel and Tourism as a school leaver, but life took me on a slightly different path… until 2021, when I finally joined the travel industry professionally and haven’t looked back since.Before becoming a Travel Counsellor, I spent much of my career in the legal industry and higher education administration – both roles where organising corporate and academic travel was part of my day-to-day. It was in those moments, booking everything from business trips to conferences, that I realised just how much I loved crafting travel experiences for others.Now, I help clients create travel experiences that feel truly personal – with a focus on sustainability, cruelty-free choices, and inclusive options for all. I’m passionate about making sure every trip aligns with your values, whether that means avoiding animal exploitation, seeking out LGBTQIA+ friendly stays, or finding destinations that prioritise ethical tourism.My mission is simple: to create meaningful travel experiences that are personal, inclusive, and aligned with your values. I believe travel should be a source of joy, connection, and discovery – never compromise. Whether you're planning a once-in-a-lifetime honeymoon, a family escape, or a soul-soothing solo break, I’m here to take the stress out of planning and replace it with confidence, care, and a touch of magic. Travel is more than a destination – it’s a feeling. Let’s make yours unforgettable.Since stepping into the world of travel full-time, I've had the pleasure of helping a couple arrange their bespoke dream honeymoon to Costa Rica, organising a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Minneapolis for a Prince superfan, and booking plenty of well-deserved weekend getaways to favourites like Benidorm and Tenerife.

Hello and thank you for visiting my Travel Counsellors web page. As you’re reading this page, you’d like to know how I can help you? Do you love to travel, but haven’t got either the time or inclination to research? That’s only part of the free service I provide, I’ll create your holiday according to your requirements, however simple or complex you would like. With access to thousands of hotels, airlines, excursions, airport parking and insurance I’m literally a one stop travel shop – all at a time to suit you and from the comfort of your own home.Love the research, but can’t be sure whether the company you’re using online is legitimate? I offer 100% financial protection – your money is secure and will only be used for your holiday.What if things go wrong before you travel or while you’re away, would you like someone to speak to; someone who will act in your best interests? Recent events have reinforced the need to use an experienced travel provider. I promise I will always be available for you to speak to, right up until the moment you return from your holiday.My decision to become a Travel Counsellor was born from a love of travel and a desire to help others realise their travel dreams. I’m passionate about good customer service – something which is sadly lacking in this transaction led online environment. I provide my customers with a personal service; they only ever deal with me and I’m delighted I have some wonderful customers I now call friends.My love of travel goes back a long way; sparked by my first holiday abroad, a two-week Mediterranean cruise with school. As soon as I could I went to work for an airline – only leaving to bring up my two, now grown up, children. They both had their first holiday abroad when they were 3 months old and still love to travel. When the children were younger, we had lots of family trips to Europe (particularly Germany) and USA. More recently my husband and I have had some real ‘bucket list’ holidays – visiting Morocco, Singapore, Vietnam, Cambodia, India, Uganda, Tanzania, Hong Kong and Australia. We’re still busy planning more trips, but the list just gets longer!If you’re considering your next holiday why not get in touch for a chat – I promise you won’t regret it.

Do you like to travel to new places but don’t like the hassle of all the research? Or maybe you just don’t have the time? Entrust your travel plans to me instead! With over 15 years in the travel industry and a passion for exploring new places, I love nothing more than turning dreams into reality.I pride myself on a very personal and tailor-made service, always going the extra mile to ensure that I understand exactly what you are looking for, offering suggestions and then fulfilling the criteria to give you the best possible holiday.

I am frequently asked my favourite destination - and it's impossible to answer! Suffice to say, my most memorable trip has to be South Georgia and Antarctica, for the sheer remoteness and untouched beauty, as well as the opportunity to get close to the wildlife. Closer to home, I’ve visited the USA and Canada many times and love exploring the open road on a fly drive trip, taking in as many National Parks as possible. 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. As I’m not restricted to office hours, I’m available at a time convenient for you to discuss all your travel requirements – from luxury island paradise to city break, from fly drive to escorted tour, from a safari to a cruise, from your honeymoon to the retirement trip of a lifetime.Travel can change lives - are you ready?

Hi, I’m Michaela, a Manchester based Personal Travel Counsellor with over 23 years of experience in the travel industry.My love for travel started young, thanks to my grandparents’ shipping business, as I got to travel the world with them.

Those early adventures sparked a lifelong passion for discovering new destinations, cultures and unforgettable experiences.Today, I specialise in creating tailormade holidays for all types of travellers, whether it’s a once in a lifetime USA road trip, a family beach escape, an escorted tour, or an intricate multi-centre adventure across the globe.

Through the years I have built up a 'little black book' of hotel, supplier and airline connections, all my contacts are invaluable when offering my clients that extra VIP touch or requesting that room with the best view.I have been a travel agent for over 19 years, but my real passion for travel started as a child. Before my five siblings and I were born, my parents travelled extensively. I can remember sitting for hours flicking through the enormous photo albums from their travels throughout Europe and on to Asia. Maybe it was the glamour of the 70s VW Camper set into the Italian Alps, or my parents in their matching Ray-Ban’s at the top of the Great Wall... either way, I was hooked and couldn’t wait to travel the world myself!I joined the industry as an apprentice in a high street Thomas Cook store in Sussex. Within two years I was working in their City of London flagship store where I won a Customer Service Award. After five years at Thomas Cook I took the leap into an independent leisure and business travel agency in Blackfriars - they were later acquired by an American travel management company. Here I ran the Luxury Leisure department, where I booked tailor-made leisure and business trips till I left five years later. During this time, I took the opportunity to work from the New York head office to expand on my global knowledge. Prior to starting my business I worked in Roadshow, Events & Marketing roles across different financial services sectors in the City of London. As well as time spent at a boutique hotel specialist and luxury villa agent.I can’t wait to help plan your next adventure, whether that’s a hopper flight to Dublin for business or a round the world cruise, you can rest assured you are 100% financially protected through Travel Counsellors Financial Trust and ATOL.I am contactable 24/7 so please do pick up the phone or drop me a message to chat over ideas and inspiration for your next trip.

Hi, I'm Dawn and I live in a small town called Prudhoe in the beautiful county Northumberland in North East England. I've been a successful business owner for the past twenty years prior to which I had a fourteen year career working in travel as an overseas representative and manager. This career gave me the fortune to work alongside some of the biggest brands in the industry allowing me to follow my life long dream of visiting fantastic destinations such as The Caribbean Islands (in particular Antigua & Barbados), Kenya, Tunisia, Greece, Spain & the Canaries, North America and many more destinations. Just lately myself and my husband have built a campervan (called Vera) and have recently completed a fantastic tour of Northern Scotland called the North Coast 500, which I have to say was another amazing adventure to add to my collection (and hopefully we have many more to come). That was a little about my past, so let me tell you about my next exciting adventure as a Travel Counsellor. "What are Travel Counsellors" I hear you say, well let me explain. Travel Counsellors are the people who care about you and your holidays, we are the type of people that go above and beyond to make your dream holiday a reality. We can help you throughout the whole booking process ensuring that you are fully finance protected and giving you a peace of mind experience along with 24/7 support. Being a Travel Counsellor allows me to give my customers the highest quality service and the care that they deserve. This may sometimes come at a higher price however these are memories that will be with you forever, and I would love to be the Travel Counsellor to help you to achieve them.

I love hill walking, running, skiing and camping. I’m also a competitive runner with a soft spot for ultra marathons, because apparently 26 miles just isn't enough.

As most people in travel will say, travel is a "real" passion of mine, when I'm not actually on holiday, experiencing all the sights, sounds and new and exciting food, I'm either thinking about my next holiday, planning my next holiday, or cajoling my hubby into choosing one with me! The next best thing to that though is providing my customers with the holiday of their dreams. There is nothing better than tailoring a holiday for someone who has been dreaming about their once in a lifetime experience, talking and walking them through it, so I get it just right, meticulously planning every detail for them, even things they've not thought of themselves, so it's trouble free and creating lifelong memories. As your very own personal Travel Counsellor, I listen to everything you want from your holiday, I want to truly understand what you're looking for, be it a luxury escape, a safari experience, a gorgeous cruise, or simply a cottage in the country. I will handle every detail, making it seamless.I've travelled extensively myself, as well as working overseas for many years, my absolute favourite place to go is The Greek Islands, I can recommend so many different islands based on the information you tell me, I also love Spain, The Caribbean, America, Thailand, to name just a few.As a Travel Counsellor, we are globally recognised, we offer complete financial protection, from the moment you leave to when you return home I provide 24/7 support and you have the added support of real-time updates on your travel plans through your personalised App.I don't watch the clock, I don't work 9-5pm, I'm available to suit your schedule, I will take all the stress away from you when planning your holiday so you can concentrate on enjoying it fully, because I truly care about your enjoyment, I understand the investment that goes into a holiday, and whilst the holiday I design for you might cost a little more, the value and peace of mind you receive is incomparable with any holiday off the shelf.It would be my pleasure to help you embark on your next holiday adventure, so why not give me a try?

Canada, Cuba, Jamaica, Cyprus, Turkey, Greek Islands, many parts of Spain, The Algarve, and countless other European cities and beach destinations.

Hello and welcome, my name is Rachel and I love nothing more than making your travel dreams come true. I live in rural Northumberland with my young family and our chocolate labrador. Always happy to chat travel…over the phone or we can have a cuppa.I got the travel bug from a young age and have worked as an agent and also overseas. I have travelled extensively, including New York, Mauritius, Costa Rica, Sri Lanka, Europe and ski but if I was pinned down to one or two favourites there is something very special about the Indian Ocean and Italy. Travel Counsellors is unique. We’re all about putting our customer at the heart of everything. I take care of every detail so you get to enjoy every moment. Dietary requirements, additional needs, mobility issues, a special anniversary, a bucket list experience.

But I am passionate about making travel accessible for everyone, whatever your age and interests. If there’s somewhere you’ve dreamed of going let’s make that happen. Life is too short. Be bold, be adventurous, try something new. I will be there in the wings to make it happen for you.

My name is Sarah, and I'm a travel agent in Brough. (Recently married, so you may know me as Sarah Smith - I go by both!) I've worked in the travel industry and customer services for over 30 years. I'm one of those lucky people who work in an industry that is essentially my hobby: travel! I love travel and all things related; be it the foreign culture, traditions, architecture, smells and sounds and, of course, the cuisine. I have travelled extensively so have first-hand knowledge of many worldwide and luxury destinations including the Middle East, Caribbean, Australia, Canada, USA, South Africa, Maldives, Mauritius, Kenya and Morocco, Egypt and many European destinations including multiple Greek islands, Iceland, Italy, Austria, Spain, Portugal, Lapland, and Türkiye. I also have immediate access to a huge circle of colleagues all over the world, so if I can't answer your question, I'm confident someone in the Travel Counsellor community will be able to.I have won many awards and accreditations. Here's a few of my career highlights: TUI New Shop of the Year award 1993 TUI Shop of the Year award 2001 TUI Shop Manager of the Year 2004 Institute of Customer Services (ICS) Solutions Award 2011 Travel Counsellors Nominee Best Newcomer (Leisure) 2013 Awarded Gold Travel Counsellor status Oct 2014 - recognised as one of the top 10% in the company!

I believe in fully understanding my customers’ needs before I set to work, so that I can offer you the best holiday to match those needs. 3 I believe in good old-fashioned customer care. You simply can’t get this if you book online. I would never recommend a holiday that I would not feel happy booking for me and my family. 4. I am available to you when you want me, often when most travel agents are closed. 5. There are so many recent changes to travel these days, I have access to the latest FCDO rules and regulations, country by country, whether you need to complete an e-form before you depart, need a visa, etc... so you don't have to worry about a thing!6. As my business has grown and grown, I now have a small team of experienced (and fabulous) TCs working alongside me who support me in 'behind the scenes' admin duties, and some enquiries. So, when you are thinking about planning your next trip, be it a luxury honeymoon, a city break, safari, ski trip, a cruise, or a round the world trip of a lifetime, just give me the opportunity to quote. Remember: With me, it's a relationship not just a transaction.

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