    Abe Remmo

    0131 516 3560 Edinburgh

    "Wherever you want to go on the planet, Abe will plan it."My customers have embarked on thousands of tailor made journeys around the world. From popular spots like the USA, Thailand and Australia to more off the beaten track destinations such as Laos, Costa Rica and Bhutan, I’ve helped make them happen. By keeping things personal, I build close relationships with my customers to create truly memorable travel experiences. With my open door policy, you can reach me whenever you need and count on my support until you’re safely home.Since joining the industry in 2008, I’ve been lucky enough to experience many of the hotels, flights and tours my customers enjoy. Whether it’s palatial resorts, business class cabins and premium cruise lines, or motels, motorhomes and small group adventures, I use my own travel insights to make sure every trip fits you perfectly. And if I haven’t been there myself, chances are one of my 2,000 Travel Counsellor colleagues has. We love to share our knowledge.Travel doesn’t always go to plan, which is why it helps to have someone in your corner. Over the years I’ve supported customers through everything from volcanic ash clouds to the Covid pandemic and countless flight cancellations. Whatever comes up, you’ll have me and our incredible 24/7 Duty Office to keep things on track.Ready to start planning? Let’s chat. MORE ABOUT ME I live in Edinburgh with my wife, two daughters, a cat, a dog and five pet rats. Travel has been part of my life for as long as I can remember, from backpacking across Europe and a working holiday in Australia to a year overlanding through Asia, plus plenty of family holidays since.We’re lucky to visit family every year in some of the most stunning parts of Western USA, from the beaches of San Diego to the ski slopes of Colorado.When I’m not planning trips, you’ll usually find me outdoors. 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.

    Planning a holiday should be exciting, not stressful. That’s where I come in. With years of experience in the travel industry and access to an extensive network of over 2000 travel counsellors worldwide, I am here to make your dream trip a reality. Whether you're looking for a relaxing beach retreat, an adventurous safari, or an unforgettable city break, I have the insider knowledge to make it happen seamlessly.Traveling to exotic destinations can come with its own set of challenges and navigating travel logistics can be complex. You might be surprised by some of the details that can make or break a trip. Did you know that: In countries like Italy and France, hotel rooms often don’t include tea and coffee facilities as standard? Or that many hotels in the Hawaii charge resort fees payable upon arrival, something most people aren’t aware of when booking online? In Botswana, for example, many safari camps have private landing strips that aren’t listed on online booking sites, making it difficult to arrange flights without expert help. In Dubai, hotels often expect children to share beds with their parents unless an additional roll-away bed is requested in advance. And if you’re heading to South Africa for a safari, there are specific clothing restrictions to ensure you don’t disturb the wildlife. Long layovers can be an opportunity rather than an inconvenience—airports like Singapore Changi and Istanbul offer free city tours for transit passengers, a perk that many travellers are unaware of.These are the kinds of insights that make all the difference—and why having a travel expert by your side is invaluable.For those seeking unique experiences, I can help you discover unforgettable moments you might not find in a standard guidebook. Imagine waking up in Cappadocia and watching hot air balloons drift by from your terrace at sunrise. Or enjoying breakfast in Kenya while giraffes poke their heads through the windows to say hello. Perhaps you’d like to arrive in New York and take a seven minute helicopter transfer straight to Manhattan, buzzing past the Statue of Liberty? These are the kinds of experiences that turn a holiday into a lifelong memory.When you book with me, you’re not just getting a travel agent—you’re gaining a trusted partner who will take care of every detail. From checking you in and arranging restaurant reservations to organising private tours and ensuring you have a point of contact during your trip, I’ll be with you every step of the way. I only recommend destinations and experiences that meet my own high standards, ensuring that every trip I plan is one I would take myself. And if I haven’t experienced a destination personally, I go the extra mile to conduct thorough research, ensuring it fits your needs perfectly.My clients return time and time again, and I treat every holiday like it’s their dream come true. Whether you have a clear idea of where you want to go or are looking for inspiration, I am here to take the stress out of planning and create an experience that exceeds your expectations.Life is short and the world is wide. So, what are you waiting for? Get in touch to plan your next adventure.

    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.

    I started in travel over 12 years ago with British Airways. In 1996 I moved from reservations to the BA Travel Shop in Glasgow. There I stayed until impending redundancy this July when all the units were closed. Mainly dealing with Tailor Made and bespoke holiday packages , I developed a small but loyal customer base which I hope will stand me in good stead as embark on my new venture. The main areas I have good travel experience in are the Indian Ocean India ,South Africa,The Far East and my biggest passion South America. My main interests apart from travel tend to centre around sport,with football being the main drain on my hard earned cash.Cricket and golf being my other main sporting interests.

    01324 808030 Falkirk

    My name is Muriel Morgan and I am an independent travel agent in Slamannan. I joined Travel Counsellors in 2005 and before that I was employed by Thomas Cook. I joined Travel Counsellors as I wanted to concentrate on giving my customers the highest possible levels of personal service and independent travel advice.As your own 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.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 up to 11pm and weekends.I love holidays and have been very lucky to travel extensively all over the world. I have visited Spain, Turkey, France, Portugal, Bulgaria, Iceland, Greece, Malta & Gozo to name a few. I have also visited Australia and New Zealand multiple times, stopping off in various countries like Dubai, Singapore & Bali. I have experienced various cruises including Mediterranean, Caribbean, South Pacific & the Emirates which are a fabulous way of seeing more than one place and can be really good value for money. I have also experienced a skiing holiday to Banff in Canada and found Cuba, Mexico, Jamaica, Dominican Republic and Grand Cayman which are all really interesting holiday destinations. My first trip to Egypt took me to Sharm el Sheikh in November 2004 and I was so impressed I returned again a number of times. For non-swimmers it is excellent, as you only need to walk out into the sea about knee deep and you can look down into the beautiful clear turquoise water and see an array of fish and coral in every colour imaginable. Ive visited many destinations in the USA including Las Vegas, Miami, Los Angeles, Kentucky & Florida. European city breaks have also played a part in my travels & Ive been lucky to have visited Barcelona, Paris, Amsterdam & Warsaw to name a few. In 2025 I travelled to Australia, Switzerland, Salou, Vancouver, Frankfurt & Yas Island in Abu Dhabi. All very different experiences which have given me great insights into these amazing destinations that I can now share with my clients.I can help you arrange any part of your travel arrangements – so whether you need a flight to Barcelona or a last minute holiday to Florida I can help.

    Hi, I’m Charlotte and I am a Travel Counsellor living in North London with my husband and two children.I have had the pleasure of working in the travel industry, gaining over 10 years experience. I began my travel career working on the high street as a trainee travel advisor, progressing to Assistant Manager and then acting Branch Manager, working in various locations throughout UK.My passion for travel has given me a great opportunity to visit some amazing destinations and I would love to share my experiences with you. I have been fortunate to visit some inspiring travel locations such as, Austria, Switzerland, New York, The Caribbean, Mexico, Costa Rica, Italy, Spain, Greece, Turkey, Cyprus, Canaries, Balearics, Gambia, India, Egypt, Morocco, Seychelles, Thailand and the magical Euro Disney.I have zip lined through the treetops of Costa Rica’s rainforest, had an incredible adventure travelling through Thailand, visited the mythical Mayan ruins in Mexico, skiing in Austria and Switzerland, and made magical memories with my children watching their favourite Disney characters come to life at Euro Disney. Whether you’re after an all inclusive holiday, last minute deal or family holiday there’s an array of breaks on offer but, with our lives being increasingly busy, booking a holiday – and getting the best deal can feel like a daunting task. You could easily spend weeks searching the most suitable options, jotting down the best places to visit, trying to figure out where you’d most like to go. Sound exhausting? My role as an independent travel counsellor is to help you keep the holiday planning as stress free as possible, and don’t forget that my expert travel advice is only a phone call away. I will remain your point of contact throughout the whole booking process. I’ll be working from home, which means I’m available at a time that suits you, including evenings and weekends.As a Travel Counsellor I have access to the high street tour operators, thousands of hotels, flights and experiences that affords me the flexibility to tailor make your dream holiday or build a bespoke package at a competitive price, whatever your requirements might be and at no extra cost. I have head office support and over 1800 other Travel Counsellors around the world who share their destination knowledge.Whatever you choose, you can relax knowing your money is 100% financially protected either by Atol or the Travel Counsellor financial trust, offering the best financial protection in the industry. Thank you for visiting my page. I hope to hear from you soon and I look forward to helping you make some unforgettable memories.

Naturally all aspects of this would be fully protected, even low cost flights. I believe in honesty and integrity at all times, and won't give you the 'hard sell' on an unsuitable holiday just for the sake of it! If I wouldn't go there myself I'd tell you. Let me give you the benefit of my 25 years plus experience in the industry. So why not lift the phone and give me a call? Let me make your dreams come true!

    Nicky Mellusco

    01403 258204 Horsham

    My experience in the travel industry is far-reaching having worked for over 16 years for a leading luxury UK tour operator and prior to that, two years at a successful independent travel agent. My travel highlights have included travelling to Venice on board the Orient Express, swimming with dolphins in Bermuda, sailing the Norwegian fjords, sampling afternoon tea at the Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong, arriving in Monaco by helicopter and marvelling at a performance of Cinderella at the Mariinsky Theatre in St Petersburg. My travel inspiration started from a young age when I lived in the south of France and East Germany for a year as part of my language degree. In later years, I took a sabbatical in South Africa, where I volunteered at a rehabilitation centre for sick and injured animals and took the opportunity to explore the Gauteng & Limpopo provinces. I am a self-confessed USA addict and for our honeymoon back in 2019 we travelled to Boston, Cape Cod and the gulf coast of Florida. I am fortunate to have family on the West Coast of the States, have extensive knowledge of California (In September 2025 I clocked up my 17th trip!) and am adept at arranging coastal road trips. Everything is entirely personalised according to your tastes, budget and sense of adventure! I am a veritable ‘foodie’ in my free time (as my past travel blogs have always attested to) and my concierge expertise extends to recommending local restaurants and making reservations in advance to enhance your travel experience. My wealth of experience and personal knowledge, together with exceptional patience will ensure I source the correct holiday according to your exact requirements. This is reflected in the consistent positive feedback I have received from longstanding clients and past awards I have been given for customer satisfaction.I was born & bred in Horsham, West Sussex and after London adopting me for 15 years, returned to my home roots with my husband and dog Sammie. My personal circumstances allow me to work flexible hours and I am more than happy to discuss travel plans outside of normal office hours. Perhaps once the children have been put to bed or when you have more time to yourself at weekends.Building my business from the ground up has been hard work and pressurised at times but as I reach my 8-year landmark as a business owner, I feel a huge sense of achievement and excitement for the future. So.....where will 2026 take you?I very much look forward to hearing from you.

    Are you feeling a little more positive about travel next year? A number of my clients are calling now to talk about getting away. My passion for travel has led me to the USA many times - last count 35 states - and to Canada, Morocco, Egypt, South Africa, the Middle and Far East, Australia, New Zealand and all over Europe. Over the years of talking with my clients, I believe this love of travel is deep in our blood. During these discussions, I have shared my insights, top tips and secrets to having the holiday of a lifetime.And here is one tip - please check your passport. Those additional months the Passport Office used to add to the new document are not acceptable to other countries. The true expiry date is now exactly 10 years from the issue date.To feed my passion I have been doing quite a few ‘virtual educationals’ (online training given by local tourist boards) to areas I have not visited. Seeing these wonderful places, many of them, like Venice, in a better condition than for decades, has made me appreciate one benefit of this unprecedented time.How have you been feeding your travel passion? What can I do to help you?If you would like to have a chat or share a dream for a special holiday to celebrate life returning to something near normal, please give me a call on 01494 854160.I might not be able to travel with you, but you will always be able to contact me when you travel with the MyTC app, on your phone.PJ

    Gemma Pauley

    01638 778 560 Isleham

    Hi, I’m Gemma, an independent Travel Counsellor based on the boarder of rural Suffolk/Cambridgeshire.Travel has always had my heart. It all began with a solo adventure to Australia and New Zealand a life-changing journey that showed me how powerful and unforgettable travel can be. Since then, I’ve built over 20 years of experience in the travel industry, helping people turn their dream getaways into real-life adventures.Whether it’s a luxury honeymoon, a family escape, or a once-in-a-lifetime journey, I offer a completely personal, one-to-one travel service. I’ll take the time to get to know you – your style, your must-haves, and even your “definitely-not-that” list – so I can design a trip that’s perfectly tailored to you. No generic packages here – just thoughtful, bespoke travel planning with expert advice every step of the way.From boutique B&Bs and world-class hotels to immersive tours and hidden gems, I’ll build your trip with care and attention to detail. With full financial protection through ATOL and the Travel Counsellors Trust, you can book with complete peace of mind.I’ve been lucky to visit a variety of incredible places – from road-tripping around New Zealand in a camper van to learning to cook in Vietnam, and even snowshoeing through the forests of Quebec. Each of these experiences has given me a deeper understanding of what makes travel truly special, and I use that insight to help shape meaningful journeys for my clients.I believe that travel should be a force for good. As travellers, we have a wonderful opportunity to give back to the communities we visit – whether that’s by supporting locally owned businesses, respecting cultures, or choosing experiences that have a positive impact.

    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. Personally, I’ve fallen in love with Mexico – my favourite Caribbean destination.I live in Newcastle with my partner Dean and our daughter Lilith, and I understand the importance of travel being both memorable and manageable – especially when life is full on. I bring warmth, empathy and attention to detail to every booking, treating your holiday as if it were my own.With Travel Counsellors’ unique Financial Trust protection, every penny you spend is 100% financially secure. I’ll be by your side from that first chat to safe return and beyond, making sure your journey is smooth, special and full of joy.Let’s make your next adventure unforgettable – I’d love to help you plan it!

    Thank you for visiting my page. Let me introduce myself. I have worked in travel for over 36 years. I used to manage a local high street agency and I have also taught travel part-time at the Isle of Wight College.I have been fortunate to visit many countries including New Zealand, Australia, Peru, South Africa, Sri Lanka, the Maldives, Argentina, Brazil, Thailand, North America and Canada plus a host of destinations closer to home.It is hard to pick my favourite destination because there are so many. All countries offer their own history, diversity and culture which is what makes travel so enriching. Each trip becomes a personal discovery. Some of my most memorable experiences include visiting Machu Picchu in Peru where I climbed Huayna Picchu (Young Mountain); another includes taking a jet-boat ride on the Shotover River and a balloon flight over the Canterbury Plains during a visit to South Island in New Zealand. Similarly, witnessing the dramatic Iguazu Falls on the Brazilian/Argentine border by helicopter rates equally as memorable.During my career, I have seen many changes within the travel industry and as an agent, it is important to adapt to these changes. In 2015 I joined Travel Counsellors to offer a more bespoke, flexible service and to be part of a network of travel professionals, where customer service is a core value.Not only am I passionate about my job I am dedicated to it. I enjoy doing the research to give my clients competitive options with reliable suppliers coupled with a more personal service. A holiday, after all, is often a considered purchase and it is important to know it is in safe hands.So whether you are planning a long-haul itinerary or a short UK break or considering an ocean cruise or a boating holiday or taking to the slopes for a winter ski trip or a relaxing get-away-from-it-all beach holiday, I am on hand to help find that holiday that best suits your needs. I have experience in arranging anything from school groups, family holidays or an emergency last-minute flight. At Travel Counsellors I have access to award-winning technology and resources and moreover, I am on hand at hours to suit you. Even if you just need impartial, unbiased advice, please contact me.

    Travel and holidays are what I have worked and lived for all my life, and I am a firm believer of always having my next holiday booked to have something to look forward to. Holidays mean something different to every person, maybe it is quality family time or a romantic breakaway, exploring a new destination, a honeymoon or a well-deserved break after hard work. Whatever holidays mean to you, I am here to take the headache out of holiday arrangements and make your dream vacation come true. As an independent Travel Counsellor, my customers are at the heart of what I do and your needs are my top priority. From staycations to exotic destinations, a couples retreat to family get-togethers, safaris to cruises, skiing trips to diving excursions…I am passionate about creating your perfect trip, whilst providing a professional and personal service. Whatever time of the day, I am available to contact for help, and when you are on holiday my assistance is a touch of a button away. Having grown up in South Africa, I have been on countless safaris and wine tours and have found my passion for nature and animals in my beautiful home country. Once I had spread my wings beyond the South African borders, my journeys took me to the snowy slopes of Scotland, the pyramids of Egypt, the amazing landscapes of Italy, the coast of Portugal, the crazy rides of Walt Disney World, France, Russia, and countless more. I found I had a serious soft spot for islands and beaches and have been to Zanzibar, Mauritius, Hawaii, Maldives, Sharm El Sheikh, Mozambique and Miami to name but a few! In addition to travelling within most continents, I also discovered the exciting world of scuba diving! Words cannot describe the wonder of being face to face with a whale shark in the Red Sea, hearing dolphins under water in Zanzibar or swimming peacefully next to green turtles off the coast of Maui. I look forward to working with you to create your perfect travel experience!

    Hello, I’m Claire, I am here to curate seamless journeys for both your leisure and business travel. I am a Scottish lady based in Belfast with a global outlook and a life long passion for travel and high end service. 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. Before joining Travel Counsellors, I built a career in international marketing, leading global teams and campaigns and hosting corporate events across the world. That experience sharpened my attention to detail and the importance of a VIP service and care — skills I now bring into creating bespoke travel for all my clients.My own personal, family and corporate travels have taken me across the globe — from Asia, Africa, Canada, the Caribbean (where my grandparents lived on St Lucia- and yes I have been a few times!), the Canaries, Mauritius, Norway (where I lived as a child), and the USA, to countless destinations across Europe, the UK and Ireland. I’ve skied in the Alps, Norway, Canada and the USA, sailed around Europe, climbed many mountains and swam in many seas.
