Hey! Travelling is in my blood, it has always piqued my interest and from an early age, my fascination in aircrafts and anything aviation became an obsession. My dream become a reality when I started what turned out to be a 17-year career in Aviation. A career which led to me working in various European locations as I fully embraced the “travel bug.” In 2007 I took the plunge by grabbing my backpack and heading to the shores of Australia, New Zealand and SE Asia. This adventure opened my eyes to a whole new world of diverse cultures, attitudes, celebrations, and people. In 2014 the opportunity for my family to move to Singapore came up and without hesitation we packed up our life and were soon living in the little Red Dot. The beauty with “travel” is that plans can change in a heartbeat, and our 2-year plan turned in to 10 years of living in the Lion City of Singapore. Here I continued my love of travel where I soaked up experiences in Cambodia, Thailand Vietnam, Indonesia, Philippines, Hong Kong, Maldives, Malaysia, and many more hidden gems. As a Travel Counsellor I want to share my love of discovery and experiences with other people, so that they too can embrace the true beauty of what is within our reach and to be captivated by our weird and wonderful world. Let me take you on an adventure. Jen“The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.” -Saint Augustine

Whilst currently London based, I divide my time between visiting friends in Yorkshire and family in Bournemouth. However, from many years of leading tours and living abroad I have clients from all across the UK and further afield, many who have travelled with me and become great friends.Thirty years ago I started working in Greece in summer, skiing in Austria in winter, then progressed to guiding tours to North America, Asia, the Indian sub-continent, the Middle East as well as Central Europe and Italy from my base of almost 15 years close to Salzburg in Austria. Until becoming a Travel Counsellor I spent over ten years as Head of Product, at niche tour operators, creating tours worldwide including tours for music and opera fans, single travellers and specialist religious pilgrimages.When asked where my favourite place I have travelled to is, that changes often as I recall many experiences and each outshines the other. When you are ready to make plans or want inspiration I will happily enthuse and bring iconic sights and descriptions of scenery to a table of ideas and add those special hidden extras and touches that you won't always find in travelogues.My belief is that a holiday or cultural experience is personal and means something different to us all. We replenish and revitalise our body, soul and mind, immerse ourselves in fascinating foreign cultures, absorb the surroundings and enrich our lives spiritually. The experiences and memories travel gives us have immeasurable value that no material possessions can offer.I'll work with you to find the perfect holiday for you. We can arrange a call, video call or a friendly chat over coffee (or something a little stronger!) to get to know one another. I believe a face-to-face meeting helps gauge your reaction to ideas and suggestions so much better.Let's spend time discussing what you and your companions want from your travels; your likes, hobbies, bucket list and any previous travel stories you wish to share. Then, armed with that understanding, utilising my knowledge from more than 30 years’ experience working in the travel industry, I will work to find or create that holiday, cruise, travel or cultural experience that is just right for you. Whether it be a bespoke specially created itinerary or an off the shelf package holiday, time away is precious and needs thought. As an independent personal Travel Counsellor, I am not tied to any one company or ‘preferred partners’ and have the freedom to select airlines, hotels, cruises, sights and attractions based on personal experience, previous guest and client enjoyment. All backed with full financial protection with ATOL or the Travel Counsellors Trust, giving you peace of mind. It is the best in the industry.As your personal Travel Counsellor I'll ensure you have all information you require leading up to your departure, with passport, visa and health information including any necessary updates and follow your journey until you return home ensuring you are never left ‘high and dry’ should anything unexpected occur. All this is backed by our Travel Counsellors support team who are available 24/7. Having witnessed how other tour operators or travel agents fall short in serving their guests, this award-winning support is something I am extremely proud of.Call me or email me and let's get your journey started!

Hi, I’m Sharon, your independent Travel Counsellor in Wetherby, Yorkshire.I have been fortunate enough to travel to many parts of the world, with my first solo trip being to the USA. I spent a year working in, and exploring both the East and West Coast, where I would quickly learn how adrenaline-filled, empowering, and liberating the feeling of travel can be.

There is no where I feel more at peace than on the African Plains, and I can’t wait to return one day to share those moments with my family! I just love visiting new places, immersing myself in local cultures and discovering the unexpected! Whether that is an adventure trip exploring the wonders of Sri Lanka, or a great family holiday to Crete, I am confident that I can use that lust to help tailor the perfect trip in any destination worldwide.Since working in travel I have booked leisure holidays, tailor-made adventures, business travel, luxury honeymoons, and also specialise in group travel.

After taking redundancy due to relocation, I joined Travel Counsellors in October 2000 and I won the 'Best Newcomer' award the following year having built up a business pretty much from scratch. In December 2002, I had a much longed for daughter and became very adept at arranging family holidays with a small baby in tow!In 2003, Travel Counsellors introduced the GOLD status and I have been a Gold Travel Counsellor ever since flying off for celebration weekends annually to places like Cape Town, Barbados, Las Vegas and Dubai. I have travelled extensively, both on holiday and professionally. Some favourite destinations include Italy, Greece, Egypt, Brazil and Australia as well as much of the Indian Ocean including the Seychelles and Maldives. I had an amazing trip to Fiji - and have also visited much of the Middle East.

Making Special MemoriesEveryone has a story about a fondly remembered holiday – very often more than one. These might be from childhood, a first trip to an exotic destination, or perhaps a trip to celebrate a special occasion. Whichever it is, one thing is for certain, holidays hold a special place in our hearts and minds and give us memories that we treasure.But putting together something as simple as a city break, let alone your dream trip, can be stressful. With the world to choose from – where is the perfect destination for us? What is the best way of booking it – direct or through an agent of some sort? Will my trip be financially protected? What if something goes wrong – how do I get help when I am away?These are all legitimate questions, and I help my clients by providing the answers.Let me introduce myself. My name is Neil.For the past 10 years it’s been my pleasure to help make every client’s holiday not just special, but hopefully one that they will talk about years later. I take pride in the service I deliver to achieve this, and really do care about making every trip you take as perfect as it can be.Why place your trust in me?Four decades of working in the travel industry, including managing a large tour operator and travelling the world to inspect hotels for over 20 years, has helped give me a unique insight into what makes the difference between a good holiday, and a truly memorable one.I build strong relationships with clients, and am fortunate that, through years of repeat bookings, many have become friends.

It might take you across the world to the land of down under, or to the tropical delights of South-East Asia. You might have always wanted to see the Big Apple or the Grand Canyon. Maybe a cultural tour of Europe’s great capitals is your thing. Or is something more laid back your style – strolling along a white sand beach in the Caribbean perhaps?Whatever type of holiday you want, however large or small, I can certainly guide you. I deliver expert advice and take care of all your travel arrangements and needs; from the moment you leave home to the moment you get back. I hope to hear from you and start to help you create your next special memories.

DISNEY AND FAMILY ADVENTURE SPECIALISTDo you dream of adventure in far flung places?My passion is to make those dreams a reality.As a child my parents would pack up the car or jump on a flight and head off for the crystal clear lakes of Denmark, the awe inspiring views of Niagara Falls or the sights, sounds and smells of New York City.

This passion and knowledge is what I bring to your adventure – working to get you exactly what you are looking for.I’ve take my children to Disney, babies through to teens.

Travel is my destiny – I knew that when I was 4 years old and tried selling a holiday to my 1-year-old sister… with little success. This didn’t faze me though, on the contrary. We were fortunate to be able to travel to many places in Europe when we were growing up and before long, I was the one arranging our high-school end-of-term trip to the South of France.To properly kickstart my career in the industry, I studied Travel and Tourism Management in my home country, Switzerland, and as a reward to myself for graduating, I packed my backpack (or two and the kitchen sink – it was in 2006 after all, long before smart phones and a lot of the bulk was from guide books and maps) and flew on my own to São Paulo to start my South and North America backpacking trip. Over the course of 10 months, I travelled mainly overland through Brazil, Argentina, Peru, Ecuador, Louisiana, the US East Coast, Ontario, Alaska, British Columbia and all along the Pacific Coast to LA. It was absolutely amazing and an unforgettable experience – especially the 52 hours on the bus from Salta (Argentina) to Lima (Peru). A little fun fact: In the last 20 years I have lived in 6 different countries including a summer holiday in Iceland, working in the local hostel and a season working in a hotel on Gran Canaria. By far my favourite places were Vancouver as a city and New Zealand as a country though and the places I went back to several times; I even got married in a small coastal town outside Christchurch/NZ to my Kiwi husband. Our first major trip as a new family was last year, when we finally introduced our pre-schooler to our NZ family as well as friends in Vancouver - only three years later than originally planned, thanks to Covid.Another outcome of the pandemic was me losing my job with the Switzerland Travel Centre, a specialist tour operator for Switzerland. During my time there I worked closely with Travel Counsellors and remembering my chats with a number of my favourite TCs was the catalyst for me to start my own journey as an independent travel advisor and franchise owner. Now I cannot wait to explore the world with Travel Counsellors, my family and of course you! I love sharing my experiences and knowledge – as a travel agent as well as fellow traveller and am looking forward to convert your dreams into stories and memories.

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. Later, with Swissport, I refined my expertise in ticketing, check in, and caring for high profile passengers. Nearly 30 years on, my love for exploring the world has only grown. 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. Every itinerary I create is crafted with the same excitement, thought, and detail I’d put into planning my own journeys. My speciality lies in luxury, bespoke travel, dream honeymoons, once in a lifetime adventures, or indulgent escapes designed entirely around you.I believe every traveller deserves the red carpet treatment. That’s why my clients receive celebrity style service as standard , the little touches that make a holiday truly extraordinary. When you travel with me, you’re not just booking a holiday. You’re embarking on an unforgettable journey, designed around your dreams and delivered with first class care.Let’s create your next adventure together.

Welcome to my page. Let me tell you a little bit about me...As a Travel Counsellor I'm passionate about travel, and working hand in hand with my clients I can tailor the perfect holiday around you – whether it be a family holiday, a bucket list trip of a lifetime wedding abroad, city break, or even a UK staycation. I just love anything out of the ordinary, and will always take on a challenge. I can also book packages with the major tour operator brands such as Jet 2. I've worked in the travel industry for over 20 years ago, starting with Thomson Holidays (now Tui) and then the good old days of teletext holidays …how things have changed! I spent 15 years as an event and wedding planner working at some of the most prestigious hotels and venues, including Weston Park in Shropshire. I have arranged over 1000 weddings and lost count of the number of private parties, corporate events and activity days. I returned to travel in 2012 specialising in weddings abroad and luxury travel, and then started my travel business with Travel Counsellors at the end of 2019. There were so many reasons why I chose Travel Counsellors as my business partner. Spanning over 25 years they are a multi-award winning company with offices worldwide and support which is second to none. Their ‘with us it's personal‘ promise struck a chord with me too. My clients are my business and I treat every booking or enquiry as if it were my own. I look after your booking right to the very end. If you need to make a change to your itinerary, or add on excursions whilst you are on holiday, I can do that for you - a true travel concierge service. I relax knowing that you have arrived safely at your destination, and then again when you arrive back home. I work from home so there are no call centres to deal with. This also means that I’m available to discuss your plans at a time to suit you including evenings and weekends. I’m based in Staffordshire but have clients all around the UK. If you are close by we can meet for a chat over a coffee or glass of fizz…and for those further away then calls, emails and face to face via zoom etc is just fine.... whatever works best for you! I have access to thousands of trusted travel providers at my fingertips and as a company we continue to increase the direct contracts we have with hotels and specialist suppliers around the world. This means that I can personally tailor your plans knowing that I am working directly with the local suppliers, and ensuring that I'm securing the most competitive rates for you. Travel Counsellors offer the best financial protection in the industry and whilst you are on holiday we also have a 24 hours Duty Office to assist with difficulties out of hours, so you are always in contact with a person. For piece of mind your holiday is also fully protected financially through ATOL. So now you know who I am, I look forward to hearing from you and sending you off on your next adventure....wherever it may be

Hello, thanks for taking the time to visit my webpage. Travel and exploring our big wide world has been my great passion since I first put on a backpack in my 20s. Fast forward 30 years and I still love exploring new countries and destinations; I find the different sounds, smells, culture, food and people of a new place fascinating. Travel rarely fails to put a smile on my face and while I fell into the travel industry by chance, I feel grateful and privileged to still be a part of it 25 years later. Sharing the excitement of my clients' trips is nearly as good as getting away myself! I'm lucky to still head overseas at least a few times each year and have been very fortunate to have visited over 40 countries across six continents so far, including extended trips across the USA, Australia and South East Asia. * Australia * New Zealand * Fiji * * USA * Mexico * Belize * Costa Rica * Guatemala * * Cuba * St Lucia * Antigua * Dominican Republic * * Europe * Morocco * Egypt * * Kenya * Uganda * Rwanda * South Africa * Namibia * * Mauritius * Maldives * Sri Lanka * India * * Thailand * Malaysia * Cambodia * Indonesia * * Singapore * Hong Kong * Japan * It’s impossible to pick a favourite, and the list gets longer each year, but some of my more memorable travel experiences are: - Meeting orangutans and watching spectacular bat migrations in Borneo - Watching a family of mountain gorillas and getting a little too close to a silverback in Rwanda - Playing with local children while waiting on a border crossing between Uganda and Rwanda - Waterfalls and paddy fields in Indonesia; eating Nasi Goreng from banana leaves with my fingers - Swimming in the waterholes above and beneath waterfalls in Kakadu NP and Edith Falls in the outback of Northern Australia - Driving at about 5mph to avoid the many rock wallabies hopping onto and across the road at dusk in The Grampians NP, Victoria - The fountains and fireballs at Southbank Casino, Melbourne - Springtime drives in the South Island of New Zealand with tiny newborn lambs in the fields - Incredible snorkelling and beautiful beaches in Fiji and the Maldives - My first taste of octopus, cooked over a fire in a beachside homestay in Fiji - Bright lights and fun fuelled evenings with friends on Hong Kong Island - Hearing the harrowing tsunami recollections of so many Sri Lankan locals just a year after the event - Savouring the perfect truffle risotto in Verona - The ethereal beauty of a wintry Iceland - Stargazing in Australia with shooting stars galore! - Cocktails, jazz and dancing at Frenchmen Street, New OrleansTaking the time to list the memories drives home how very fortunate I've been. Travel for me is all about new experiences and lasting memories, and that's what I endeavour to bring to each trip I help to create for my customers. I've booked all kinds of trips over the years, but nothing beats crafting a bespoke holiday. It's a joy to combine my firsthand knowledge of destinations with fresh research to help create that perfect trip for you. I haven't been everywhere, but with over 2000 Travel Counsellors to consult, there's not much I can't find out. My advice to you: stop trawling the myriad options online and let an expert guide you. I do the hard work so you don't have to! One size never fits all. I’ll ask the right questions to understand fully what makes you tick. Whatever the occasion, whatever the budget, I will ensure we find the right trip for you.Before, during and after booking, I'm on hand to answer your questions and my personal service is always just a phone call away. Everything booked through me has 100% financial protection for your complete peace of mind, and I have the support of Travel Counsellors' 24/7 Duty Office monitoring world events and entry regulations for our peace of mind. Your precious holiday will be in safe hands.

Thank you for taking the time to view my web page.My name is Ann and I am an independent travel agent based in Bury, Lancashire.

Prior to that I was a manager for two of the major high street agencies.My clients live all over the UK and I even have some clients who live overseas. I feel that the reason for my success is my passion for good old fashioned service, my personal experience of worldwide destinations and my independent advice.As a Travel Counsellor I use my personal expertise to tailor make exactly the right holiday to suit your needs. Rather than selling you a standard tour operator package, I can quickly search through hundreds of different flight, accommodation and transfer alternatives to find something that suits your needs exactly.

It is given in recognition of visits to the islands and completion of tasks and stringent questionnaires. I have also received many other industry accolades such as Cotac, City & Guilds, NVQs and destination awards such as ‘Aussie Specialist’ and many others. I feel that it is very important to keep in touch with all aspects of the industry through various on-line training systems.My business is based purely on providing my customers with the highest possible levels of personal service and I would be delighted to assist you with any of your holiday plans and dreams.I look forward to hearing from you soon.

After being out of the travel industry for a while, it is a pleasure to be back in the industry I started in and fell in love with, especially as an Independent Travel Counsellor.I studied travel & tourism at the Bournemouth & Poole college, where a achieved a Diploma. After leaving college I worked for an independent travel agent in my home town of Swansea, gaining 10 years’ experience. Over my time working as a travel agent I was fortunate to see some fantastic places like the Canneries, Balearics, Greece, France, Finland, Germany to name a few but my favourites being the Maldives, Sri Lanka and Seychelles.Although I have been out of the travel industry, the passion has never left me. My wife and I love going on city breaks, our favourites are New York and Reykjavik and for our summer holidays we love going to our family home on the Costa Blanca in Spain. We either fly out or we take the ferry and drive stopping off in places on the way down through France and Spain taking different routes each time.Being a Travel Counsellor gives me the flexibility to book your perfect holiday and give you the personal experience you won’t find with an online provider with full financial backing. Whatever your requirements weather it’ll be a London hotel or a Round the World trip I can organise it all, even visa’s and transfers.Other than travel I love my rugby, I have organised group bookings to the 6 nations games. I also booked my own tailor made trip to New Zealand for the 2011 rugby world cup and for the British & Irish Lions tour in 2017, I took my youngest son with me in 2017, he loved it.So stick a pin in a map, give me a call and see where I can take you. “I want to go to places I’ve never been before”

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, 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!

I am currently training with suppliers weekly keeping up to date with new tours & best sellers, so from Far East, India & Japan which has been massive for 2023 bookings along with South America including the bucket list tour to Antartica.

To name just a few!My own travels have taken me to all four corners of the globe and that really helps me to offer educated, impartial advice and tailor the itinerary to suit the individual needs of my clients.

Hello, my name is Steven and thanks for visiting my homepage.I’m based in Douglas, Isle of Man. I have been involved in the travel industry for 30 years, operating across a wide scope of disciplines. From a very young age, travel has always been always been a source of excitement to me. This was precisely a result of my not having the opportunity to do so myself, but having to feed off the globetrotting stories of my neighbours and school friends! Since then my own travels have taken me far afield, across Europe, the Middle East, North and Southern Africa, the Caribbean and Australia. In addition to this I am a keen skier, and have extensive experience of the European scene.Over the years I have discovered that even the most seasoned and worldly travellers can still find the process of sourcing, evaluating and deciding on a holiday or trip, a considerably stressful one. While undoubtedly a positive breakthrough, the internet has become increasingly daunting for some. We are now bombarded with choice, but still left wondering if there's still somehow something magical out there that's hiding from us! Please don't put yourself through all that. Get in touch and we'll make it a pleasure.I'm looking forward to it!

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

Hello! I’m Lianna, an independent travel advisor based in Essex. I have more than 20 years’ experience of working with some of the industry’s leading leisure and corporate travel companies, and I’m passionate about sharing my expertise with my clients.Helping you to book your dream break is so much more than researching flights and hotels – it’s about ensuring that every moment of your valuable time off is relaxing, enjoyable and memorable. From checking you in for your flights, pre-booking seats, securing your preferred meal choice and confirming your transfer is ready and waiting when you arrive, no stone is left unturned. What’s more, I’m committed to finding you the best possible price for your trip. Think of me as your personal concierge, able to oversee room allocation, make dinner reservations and book day trips. I’ll even ensure Ed Sheeran turns up at the bar to serenade you and your partner on honeymoon (ok – the last point might be a bit of a stretch, but you get the general idea!) I love a challenge, so arranging multi-centre trips, overseas weddings and honeymoons is my speciality.
