Elaine Simpson
Based In Hebden Bridge
01422 897490My name is Elaine Simpson: I live in Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire with my husband, Rod Bailey, who is a retired fine art lecturer. My passion is Australia - I’ve been a Tourism Australia Premier Aussie Specialist for many years, visiting all the States and Territories in over 20 trips; plus I’m a New Zealand Kiwi specialist and an expert in Round the World journeys. Closer to home I love to sail on Star Clippers traditional sailing ships, having crossed the Med with them several times; and in the winter I avoid the British weather by retreating to Tenerife for several weeks. My 40+ years travel experience started in university travel offices which gave me an unrivalled knowledge of airline and rail routes and off-the-beaten-track destinations, as many of the students and lecturers came from, or travelled to, some far-out places! In 1989 I started my own travel agency for independent travellers and was presented to HRH Prince Charles having won a competition for start-up businesses in the Calderdale area. Late in June 2008 I closed that business down and joined Travel Counsellors, providing support and security for myself and my clients. I’ve travelled widely and have specialist accreditations also for Singapore, Hong Kong, Dubai etc, so I can offer a comparable service to all regions with the extensive and highly professional support of Travel Counsellors. Despite travelling extensively, my own wish-list never gets any shorter: as well as visiting Australia and New Zealand I have spent most winters in Tenerife and have also visited India, Morocco, Greece, Turkey, Italy, Holland, Denmark, Barbados, Mexico, Thailand, the USA: and I’ll go anywhere else given half a chance! When I’m not booking travel, or travelling, I love to draw and paint and many of my pictures are inspired by the people and places I have met and seen along the way. When travelling I like to get off the beaten track and try out new experiences with a combination of action and relaxation and that is the kind of trip I excel in arranging. Therefore, whatever your idea of a good time, talk to me about it and together we’ll find the perfect trip for you! There’s a place in everyone’s life for a little self-indulgence and hedonism - we all need times to chill out - whether you find it in 5-star luxury or in a simple beach hut, I’ll go that extra mile to find the perfect place for you to relax and recharge your batteries. Whatever your travel needs I’d be delighted to help and can either meet you or arrange it via email or phone- so distance is no object in more ways than one! I look forward to hearing from you. -
Christine Stearman
Based In Newcastle Upon Tyne
0191 4328670Hi .... I'm Christine, 18 years a Travel Counsellor.My career in travel has spanned several decades. Before I became a Travel Counsellor, many of my clients will remember me from my very first job in travel working in Fenwick Travel Bureau where I spent 14 happy years before heading up our flagship Travel Agency in the newly opened Metro Centre. I then worked in two independent agents in Jesmond and Gosforth, the latter speacialising in group travel.As you can imagine, I have seen many changes in the world of travel. But I still believe that giving a high level of professional service is extremely important. Whether booking a single flight or a complicated tailor made itinerary, I strive always to pay the closest attention to my client's wishes. Travel Counselllors have given me the unique opportunity to do this with complete partiality and flexibility. Having my clients' best interest in heart means prioritising their needs and ensuring that with careful planning their travel plans meet their personal requirements. I have travelled extensively throughout the world and understand th importance of experience and first hand knowledge when planning my customers trips. One can never underestimate the value of first hand experience!I have travelled to most of Europoe and really enjoy city breaks. I hold a great affection for many places but my "go to "country is Italy. I holiday every year in this beautiful country and have travelled extensively from top to toe, taking advantage of their fantastic train network. Over the last 12 years my heart has also been captured by Classical Spain. My son lives in Madrid and I have grown to love the Spanish culture - so many medieval cities steeped in the most interesting history - there is so much more to Spain than the Costas !My travels also take me to many langhaul destinations. USA is another of my great loves, especially Arizona and Western USA. India, Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong, Cuba, Caribbean Islands, South Africa, Kenya, Australia - some of the many countires I have been very fortunate to visit. I have skied throught Europe and America and enjoyed cycling in Europe and Cuba. Being a Travel Counsellor gives me a great opportunity to offer a professional, impartial service to my clients and all with the financial backing and tremendous support of a great company. And I can do all this at a time convenient to you. So whatever your needs, please ring me for first hand advice. Whether it be cruising, skiing, family holidays or a bespoke tailor made trip, city break ... the list is endless! And finally, as Michael Palin once famously stated "Once the travel bug bites, there is no known antidote and I know I shall be happily infected until the end of my life "Please give me a call - I live to pass on my knowledge and experience in crafting your trip, no matter how small. -

07930751107My passion for travel began at a young age when I received a world globe for my seventh birthday. I would spend hours spinning it, memorizing world capitals, and imagining the incredible destinations I hoped to visit one day. With a picture atlas in hand—long before the days of Google Maps—I developed a deep curiosity for the world that has shaped my career ever since.Originally from Southern Africa, my journey has taken me across multiple continents. I have worked on Rhine river cruises, backpacked through South America, and served as a German and Dutch translator, selling shore excursions for Carnival Cruise Lines in the Caribbean—where I also met my husband. My travels and professional experiences have led me across North America and, ultimately, to Chesterfield, where I have now settled. Throughout my career, customer service has been at the heart of everything I do. From hospitality and tourism to sales and translation, ensuring customer satisfaction has always been my top priority. I take great pride in delivering outstanding service, building strong relationships, and creating experiences that exceed expectations.As a family, we have embraced travel as a way of life. From camping across the UK and France to exploring Europe, South Africa, the United States, and Morocco, we have sought out new adventures wherever possible. Cruising has taken us through the Mediterranean, Norway, and the Caribbean, while our passion for scuba diving has led us to remarkable underwater destinations in Turkey, Australia, and, most recently, Thailand—a long-awaited bucket list experience. More recently, we have ventured into sailing, discovering the Mediterranean from a yacht, adding yet another dimension to our love for exploration.Beyond personal travel, I am passionate about using travel for a greater cause. In 2023 and 2024, I participated in charity banger rallies across Europe, raising funds for a local charity. These journeys combined adventure with philanthropy, proving that travel can be both exhilarating and deeply meaningful.Joining Travel Counsellors feels like a natural progression—a full-circle moment where I can combine my extensive travel knowledge with my dedication to exceptional customer service. As an independent Travel Counsellor, I have access to an extensive network of award-winning suppliers, enabling me to create bespoke travel experiences tailored to every client’s needs. Whether you are dreaming of a long-haul adventure, a multi-destination itinerary, a luxury cruise, a ski trip, a safari, or a relaxing all-inclusive getaway, I am committed to crafting the perfect trip for you. I understand the value of a well-planned holiday, and my role is to ensure a seamless experience from the initial inquiry to your safe return home. The same globe that first inspired my love of travel still sits in my home today—and now, I look forward to helping you plan your next unforgettable journey.“The most beautiful thing in the world is, of course, the world itself.” - Wallace Stevens -

0161 826 4810Hello there… Thanks for visiting the Travel Counsellors website and my page in particular. I found this Portuguese proverb the other day and it made me laugh - “When the boss is away, work becomes a holiday” - Well, that sorts out a few weeks of the year but what about when it’s your turn for a holiday? I’ve been a Travel Consultant for many years; and before that I trained and worked in hotel management so I understand that travel and holidays are thrilling purchases, and yet can be tinged with a tad of apprehension – have you chosen the right destination? Will it stand up to the glossy pictures? Will it be a good investment and provide you with happy memories for years to come? I can honestly say that by booking through me, with all the knowledge and expertise that I can tap into; we can get you just the holiday you want from package deals to tailor made travels. I absolutely love travelling and holidaying, so I’ve got plenty of personal information to help you make an educated decision as to where and how to spend your hard earned holiday time. Here are my top favourites: Las Vegas - love the adrenalin rush at the tables Dubai - breathtakingly opulent Barbados - for ultimate relaxation Key West - warm welcomes await and Key Lime Pie to die for What are yours I wonder? Let’s have a chat and sort out some great destinations, sights and experiences for you? I’m local to South Cheshire – and because I have independent status I’m on call to answer your queries whenever you need me – at home, or on your travels. It won’t be long before you are having the time of your life on holiday. I wonder if the boss will miss you…? I can also arrange all your holiday extras including travel insurance, foreign exchange, airport parking and transfers. -

01684 362986Hi, I’m Martin and I'm here to make travel as personal and effortless for you as possible.Whether you’re dreaming about a family getaway or a honeymoon, a cruise, a short break, a milestone trip, a rail journey, your first or next ski trip, a staycation, or a bucket-list adventure - no trip is too big, too small, or too complex.Over the years, I’ve learned that every traveller - and every trip - is completely unique. The art is more than just booking a holiday - it’s creating something that fits you perfectly. That’s why I take the time to get to know you, your taste, your style, and the small details that matter most when you travel.Think of me as your personal travel companion - combining expertise with a personal touch, while quietly handling all the logistics so your journey flows seamlessly from start to finish.With a wealth of travel experience and a trusted global network of specialists in over 100 countries, I’ll help you uncover hidden gems and craft a trip that feels just right for you.From our first chat to your return home, every detail is taken care of - no more endless searching, scrolling, or second-guessing online results. Instead, you can simply relax and enjoy your journey, knowing it’s been thoughtfully planned around you, with care, insight, attention to detail, and a human touch.And the best part - my service comes at NO EXTRA COST. I’m paid by trusted suppliers based purely on what’s right for your individual trip, so your interests always come first.A lot of people enjoy planning their own holidays, and that’s fine when everything runs smoothly. But when plans change or something unexpected pops up, it can quickly become stressful - especially without package protection in place. Suddenly you’re juggling suppliers (often through their websites) and left to make tricky decisions that can end up costing more than expected.By contrast, when you book with me, you have expert guidance and support at every step. As my business is part of Travel Counsellors, you get full financial protection and 24/7 support - so wherever you are in the world, help is just a call or WhatsApp away.My promise is simple: genuine care, personal service, inspiration and support whenever you need it. At Travel Counsellors, we say ‘We go beyond' - and it’s no coincidence we've earned over 20,000 5-star Trustpilot reviews. It's the same level of dedication I bring to every client and every trip I plan. I also understand that life doesn’t always fit neatly into office hours, so I’m happy to chat in the evenings, at weekends, or whenever suits you best.As for my own journey - I’ve been fortunate to explore more than 60 countries (and counting) across six continents - from cycling the Sinai Desert to husky sledding in the Arctic, experiencing omotenashi in Japan, and learning to tango in the streets of Buenos Aires. Travel has shaped who I am, and every journey fuels my passion for helping others discover the world in their own way.So whether you already know where you’d like to go, have the spark of an idea, or simply want someone to take care of the details, I’d love to help you create a journey that’s truly yours.I look forward to chatting soon.Warm regards, -

0191 381 0080Hello, and welcome. I’m Darren, your personal Travel Counsellor, and I’m based in Durham. This year I celebrate 38 years in the travel industry: from the humble beginnings of stamping brochures in a high street agency to now running my own travel business, designing holidays that truly matter to my clients.Over the years I have not only worked in travel, I have lived it. I have lived and worked in both Perth and Brisbane in Australia, and spent time as a resort rep in Menorca, Corfu and Athens. That first-hand experience of destinations, airports, transfers, hotels and local life means I understand what really makes a holiday work once you are actually there.I have always had a genuine passion for travel and have spent many years researching and booking our own trips: from fly-drives along the Californian coast and magical Christmases in New York, to weekends in Europe’s great cities and lazy beach escapes on the Greek islands.For me, every holiday has one very important thing in common: how special it is to the people taking it. Whether it is a long-awaited family getaway, a once-in-a-lifetime adventure or a quick city break to recharge, it deserves to be treated with care. My guiding principle is simple: every trip I am trusted to arrange receives the same level of attention to detail, so that my customers are happy to return to me year after year.As a Travel Counsellor I have access to a wide range of exclusive tools, knowledge and global partners. This allows me to arrange everything from UK staycations and European beach breaks to complex multi-centre itineraries and round-the-world journeys. I will listen carefully to what you want, then shape a holiday around you, rather than trying to fit you into something off the shelf.With my experience, destination knowledge and passion for service, I aim to take away the stress and uncertainty that can come with booking a holiday. I will handle as much or as little as you need, from flights and accommodation to transfers, car hire, excursions and those little touches that make a trip feel truly personal.When you book with me, you will also benefit from:- 100% financial protection through the Travel Counsellors Trust. - The MyTC app, where you can view your quotes, bookings, travel documents and flight updates, and make payments securely in one place. - 24/7 support, with help on hand around the clock should anything unexpected arise during your travels.If you are thinking about your next getaway, I would love to help.

01243969100Hello, I’m Sharon.I live in Arundel, West Sussex with my husband and our gorgeous Cyprus rescue Poodle who has travelled extensively with us on nearly every mode of transport and has held 3 different passports – Cypriot, UK and France. He is most certainly quite the little globetrotter.My love for travel began with my very first flight at just three years old. From that moment, I knew this was the industry I wanted to be part of. Over the past 40+ years, I’ve worked across many sectors of the travel and tourism industry, gaining invaluable experience & knowledge , of most elements that make up your holiday such as airlines - both on the ground and in the air, cruise lines, hotels - as well as co-owning a coach travel business for 20 years with my husband, and owning a Chambres d'hotes in Brittany, France .I grew up in beautiful South Africa, moving to the UK in my mid twenties. During my childhood, due to the size of South Africa, it was never necessary to travel abroad, so as a family we travelled extensively within the country. As well as visits to smaller countries in Southern Africa such as Botswana, Lesotho, Swaziland and Zimbabwe. As a young adult, after a few years with South African Airways, I then embarked onto my travel agent journey, selling inbound as well as outbound holidays. So my knowledge of South Africa is extensive, should this be a destination you are interested in. I have also lived in Brittany, France, and my travels have taken me to incredible destinations including the Caribbean, Canada, New York, Iceland, Mauritius, Dubai, and India — to name just a few. I also have a passion for cruising - where else can you be in a luxury hotel, unpack once, yet visit multiple destinations. What I love most about my job is helping bring a customer’s travel vision to life. I’m passionate about creating unforgettable holidays that are as unique as each of my clients. From our first conversation, we’ll talk about your ideal trip — your likes, dislikes, and those special little touches that will make it truly memorable. From there, I’ll craft a bespoke itinerary just for you. Whether you’re dreaming of relaxing on a beach, exploring a vibrant city, or setting sail on a luxury cruise, I’m here to help you every step of the way — from the moment you book until you return home. And with 24/7 support, you're never on your own.With my exceptional customer service, care, attention to detail, and the backing of Travel Counsellors — a globally recognised and trusted brand — you’ll have complete financial protection and total peace of mind.So, whether it’s a cosy UK getaway or a grand, round-the-world adventure, I’ll work closely with you to make sure your trip is everything you’ve dreamed of — and more.For me, travel isn’t just about getting from A to B. It’s about the stories, the memories, and the joy of discovery. I’m your personal Travel Advisor, here to turn your travel dreams into reality. -

01282 854143Hello, I'm Sarah and welcome to my page.I specialise in worldwide holidays with the personal touch.Whether you are looking for a honeymoon, luxury beach escape, cultural tour, family holiday or even a round-the-world adventure, I am here to look after all your travel needs from the moment we first speak, if you need assistance whilst you're away and I love hearing all about them when you return home.Interesting and off-the-beaten-track requests are my favourite as I enjoy the challenge of finding something that’s not in a brochure and creating holidays that are truly unique. China, Turkey and Sri Lanka are 3 of my favourite destinations - all of which I've travelled to with my family as they love an adventure too - I believe no destination should be off limits with children! Food plays a huge part of where I decide to go on holiday and this is one of the reasons I love South East Asia and the Indian continent.I feel very lucky I can talk travel every day and help create such wonderful memories for my clients that they talk about and treasure for years to come. -

01205 220 034Hello, I’m Katie May – your trusted Travel Counsellor, based in the heart of Lincolnshire. Boston is home to me, my husband, our teenage son, a lively dog, and a muddy cob (horse, for anyone not in the know). Life here is full of energy and warmth – and that’s exactly what I bring to every holiday I create: a wholehearted commitment to helping you craft life-long memories.My passion for travel ignited as a solo adventurer in Australia during my first gap year after school. The travel bug truly took hold during a second gap year post-university, when I embarked on a round-the-world backpacking adventure with my then-boyfriend (now husband): we partied under full moon skies, lived on remote outback cattle stations, soared above the Grand Canyon, and woke to lions’ roars on safari under canvas.Since then, I’ve snorkelled in the crystal-clear waters of the Maldives, marvelled at the ancient majesty of Machu Picchu, and been immersed in the vibrant culture of India. These, and many more experiences have gifted me memories to last a lifetime and inspired my career helping others do the same. Years with a leading luxury tour operator allowed me to specialise in crafting journeys that truly mean more – from exhilarating ski adventures and sun-drenched Mediterranean escapes, to dreamy winter-sun retreats across the Indian Ocean, Middle East, and Caribbean. Yet, the Seychelles remains a personal favourite: a paradise where those once-in-a-lifetime moments seem effortless, thanks to icing-sugar sands and idyllic lagoons.As your Travel Counsellor, I’ll guide you towards a Better Journey at every step – whether you’re chasing bucket-list experiences, seeking total relaxation, craving cultural adventures, or longing for meaningful family time. I’ll help you build a holiday that sparks pure joy and creates life-long, joyful memories. My personal service and meticulous planning mean you can truly relax, knowing every detail is in safe hands.Because I’m a flexible homeworker balancing family (and muddy cob) life, I’m here whenever you need – daytime, evenings, or weekends. Let’s make your next holiday not just a trip, but the first chapter in a story of cherished new memories.Let’s start planning your Better Journey today.

07812 150832Hello, I'm Liz, your local independent travel expert based in leafy Beckenham, on the borders of South London and Kent. My passion for travel started a very long time ago when my first ever job was selling Spanish package holidays. I’ve never lost that desire, that passion, for seeing and experiencing the world at large. Now, a few decades later, I am living that dream and helping my customers to explore and discover the world.My personal passion is African safari, I think it’s the sounds and smells of the bush that really get under my skin and I’m so happy planning a safari trip for a client. I love to talk about it to anyone who will care to listen. But not everyone is keen to explore the bush. Whatever your preference, I am here to help and advise and share my personal travel experiences with you. I work from a home office so I’m available to discuss your trip when it's most convenient for you and not restricted by office hours. I do home visits to suit your hours and can also be found meeting clients in the numerous local coffee bars (when we’re allowed), talking holidays over a latte.That initial chat is the most important step towards the perfect holiday. I need to spend time getting to know you so that I can craft the perfect itinerary or destination holiday for you and your family or group. My clients' travel adventures are too varied to mention them all but include dozens of African safaris, motor home tours of the Rockies in Canada, luxury tours from north to south of India, or barefoot paradise honeymoons in the islands of the Indian Ocean or Pacific islands. Skiing holidays, the Northern Lights, Antarctic cruises, the Galapagos Islands, or the Ashes in Australia, the possibilities are endless. I will cater for your every need and will do my best to help with special requests that just aren't available on-line; adjoining rooms? cruise cabin near a lift? saltwater pool? short walk to bars and restaurants? gluten free menus? …. we'll do our best.I do pride myself on attention to detail; from that first meeting through to your return home and all points in between, creating memories that last a lifetime.

01992 880030Hey! 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 -

I love nothing more than researching new destinations to explore, so please feel free to contact me with any travel requests – I’m always up for a challenge.I’ve been lucky enough to embark on a number of adventures. Backpacking from top to tip of South America, self-driving the stunning routes of Australia and New Zealand and winding my way through South East Asia’s bustling cities and backwaters. This passion for discovery hasn’t abated and as two tickets became five following the arrival of my three young adventurers, I’ve continued to try and see new places and take on new challenges. I firmly believe that travel is good for the soul. No matter where you go; from kayaking at dawn through the Amazon rainforest to relaxing with penguins on a South African beach; from exploring the backstreets of a Moroccan souk to chatting with pickers on the emerald green Sri Lankan tea estates, there are always new and exhilarating places to discover. The possibilities in travel are endless and I try to impart this sense of wanderlust on my children. No matter where we go, we always learn something new and return home with huge smiles on our faces and life-long memories to enjoy. Having spent the last 5 years flying solo at Tribe Family Adventures, I decided to join this supportive team of award winning independent agents so that I can offer my clients a broader variety of trips, alongside the best possible service and financial protection. I whole-heartedly believe that arranging a trip, whether it be a family adventure, honeymoon or a special milestone celebration, should be a fun and exciting experience.

07891 161657 | 01983 855018Welcome to my webpage. I am Neil Farr, your personal Travel Counsellor, and I have been proudly creating holidays with Travel Counsellors since 2017.Based in the coastal town of Ventnor on the Isle of Wight, where I have lived since 2005, I look after clients not only on the Island but right across the UK. This March marks 33 years of working in the travel industry, during which I have built up extensive experience across many sides of the business: high street agencies, call centres, brochure production, joint venture marketing campaigns, contracting and account management both in the UK and overseas. This breadth of background means I understand how the industry works behind the scenes as well as what really matters to you as a traveller.Over the years I have been fortunate enough to visit a wide range of destinations including Australia, Bermuda, Botswana, Cambodia, Canada, Hong Kong, Jamaica, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, North America, Singapore, South Africa, Zambia, Zimbabwe and numerous European favourites closer to home. These travels have given me first-hand insight into very different styles of holiday: from wildlife and adventure to city breaks, cultural journeys and relaxing beach escapes.Some of my most memorable experiences include a game drive in South Africa in search of the Big Five, a helicopter flight over Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, staying overnight with the Long Neck Karen tribe near Chiang Rai in northern Thailand, and jet-boating around Sydney Harbour. Experiences like these remind me why travel is so powerful: every country offers its own culture, landscapes, history and individuality. It is that sense of discovery, learning and connection that I want to bring to every itinerary I create.What truly sets me apart is the way I work with you. I combine three decades of industry knowledge and destination experience with genuine personal care. I take the time to listen, understand what is important to you and then craft a holiday that reflects your interests, pace and budget. My focus is always on attention to detail, thoughtful touches and making the process as smooth and enjoyable as the trip itself.As your dedicated Travel Counsellor, I work from a platform that brings together award-winning technology with a handpicked network of trusted, quality suppliers. Your money is fully protected through the Travel Counsellors Financial Trust and ATOL, giving you complete peace of mind from the moment we start planning.I can help with almost every type of leisure trip you might be considering: dream honeymoons, special anniversaries and birthdays, family holidays, all-inclusive breaks, city escapes, tailor-made tours, river and ocean cruises, lakes and mountains, exotic island retreats and complex, multi-stop itineraries around the world. Every itinerary I build is bespoke, designed around you, and my planning service comes at no extra cost to you.I am proud that so many of my clients return to book with me year after year and kindly recommend me to their family, friends and colleagues. Many have become close friends along the way, which is exactly how I like to work: with long-term relationships built on trust, honesty and consistent service.If you are looking for expert, independent travel advice and a truly personal service, I would be delighted to help.

I have over 18 years’ experience working in the travel industry as long haul cabin crew for Virgin Atlantic, a career which afforded me the opportunity to travel all over the world. Having a young family and a husband working overseas, unfortunately put an end to my globe-trotting career, however I have recently put my travel knowledge and experience towards my business as a travel counsellor, allowing me to plan and organise your holiday at a time that suits you. Throughout my career in the travel industry, I would always take pride in providing outstanding customer service with acute attention to detail to ensure my customers always received a unique experience. This mindset is at the very heart of my business. I have travelled extensively with my work and also with family and friends from exploring destinations such as Borneo, Mexico, Australia, the Caribbean and Canada to the bright lights of New York, Las Vegas and Paris. I visit Dubai frequently and love to ski in the French alps as often as I can. My children adore all things Disney and Universal which is where we have spent numerous family holidays. Last year we extended our Floridian trip with a road trip to the Florida keys and Miami. Last year, I was fortunate enough to tick off a big bucket list trip on board the world famous Orient Express, travelling in opulent style from Venice to Paris was truly the trip of a lifetime. Being a Travel Counsellor enables me to provide a tailor made travel concierge service to my clients utilising first-hand knowledge of a variety of destinations, providing both value and peace of mind for the holiday you want.

I can arrange bespoke multi-destination itineraries, car hire, lounge passes, attraction tickets and much, much more. All that’s left for you to do is pack your case! Being a member of the Travel Counsellor family means I have connections to hundreds of suppliers including all major tour operators as well as smaller independent suppliers which can’t be booked online. Having the backing of Travel Counsellors also means all holidays are 100% ATOL protected, clients have 24 hour access to a support team should any unexpected problems happen in resort and all payments are kept in trust until you return from your holiday. For me, creating your perfect itinerary is more than just booking a holiday, its creating memories and experiences for you and you loved ones to cherish for a lifetime.

I live in Widnes, Cheshire, with my husband and the youngest of our adult children.Travel has been my obsession since 1992, when 20‑year‑old me and my future husband took our first independent trip abroad: across the Atlantic to Florida. Instantly hooked on travelling, we quickly followed this with holidays to Mexico, Thailand and a Grand Tour of Italy, and we have visited over 40 different countries together since.I love travel because of the awesome experiences it can offer: walking on the Nigardsbreen Glacier in Norway; riding Flight of Passage in Walt Disney World; joining the pilgrims in Lhasa's Jokhang Temple; following the Iguaçu Falls trail in Brazil: all moments etched into my memory forever.In 2017, after 25 years successfully organising our own adventures, I started a new chapter in life by joining Travel Counsellors.

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! Why choose me? 1. I believe in building strong and trusted relationships with my customers so that when you think 'holidays', you think 'Sarah'. 2. 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.

023 9299 0115We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us.Welcome, I’m Katie, your personal Travel Counsellor, based on the beautiful south coast of Hampshire. Travel is my healthy addiction which I am hugely passionate about, and I never tire of the excitement and variety it brings, something I now happily share (or inflict!) on my three children, who are 18, 16 and 13. As a busy person myself, I know that while travel should feel exciting, the planning can easily start to feel overwhelming. My passion is turning all those ideas, screenshots and “one day” dreams into a perfectly organised trip that feels effortless for you. I do the research, the comparisons and the organising, so you can simply enjoy the anticipation and, of course, the holiday itself.I love to really get to know what makes a perfect break for you: how you like to travel, what you enjoy, and what you want to feel when you are away. My own recent travels have taken me to Mauritius, the Maldives and Italy’s beautiful Cinque Terre, giving me fresh, first-hand insight into everything from idyllic island escapes to character-filled coastal villages. Over the years I have planned a wide variety of holidays, from relaxing beach escapes and chic city breaks to cruises and tailor-made itineraries, each one carefully shaped around the individual, family, couple or group travelling. Whether you already have a destination in mind or are starting with a blank page, I can design your perfect trip to virtually anywhere in the world.Alongside my own experience of travelling, and being part of a family of five with three teenagers, I really understand what makes a holiday work and how important it is to find the perfect fit for everyone. I will match you with the right destination and style of travel, then support you every step of the way from your first enquiry until you arrive home.With me, it is genuinely personal. There are no call centres, no scripts and no being passed around. From the moment you first get in touch until you arrive home, I take care of every detail, fitting around your busy life and arranging calls at times that work best for you. My client testimonials really do speak for themselves, and with over 98% of Travel Counsellors reviews rated 5 stars on Trustpilot, you can be confident you are in safe hands.I also know how hard you work for your holiday fund. Everything you book through Travel Counsellors is 100% financially protected by our Travel Trust Fund, alongside ATOL protection, so you can relax knowing your money and your plans are safe. While you are away, you will never be alone, with both myself and our dedicated duty office available 24/7 should you ever need support.To complement and simplify working with me, our digital MyTC app brings your itineraries to life and when you are ready to book, keeps all your travel documents neatly organised in one place, helps you stay paperless and acts as a digital version of me in your pocket, so you can contact me quickly and easily whenever you need to.If you are short on time but full of ideas, let me make travel exciting again rather than overwhelming. Whether you are craving time to switch off and do nothing, eager to explore somewhere new, keen to indulge in a little luxury, reconnect with loved ones or finally tick off a long-dreamed-of experience, I will listen to what matters most to you and create a trip that feels truly your own.Simply give me a call or use the ‘Contact Me’ links below. I'd love to hear from you. Please feel welcome to take a look at my social channels for a flavour of the holidays I create and the places I love to share.

01925 950 047Planning 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. -

It has been a constant part of my life, and for the past nine years it has been my full-time career.I work with clients who want their holidays to feel effortless, considered, and genuinely special. Not rushed. Not generic. And definitely not one size fits all. My role is not just to book flights and hotels. It is to listen properly, understand how you want your trip to feel, and then design a journey that fits you perfectly.As part of Travel Counsellors, I have access to a worldwide network of trusted partners, suppliers, and in-destination experts.

I also work with leading travel brands such as Jet2holidays, TUI, EasyJet Holidays, Royal Caribbean, MSC Cruises, P&O Cruises, and many more, alongside specialist operators for tours, cruises, and bespoke itineraries worldwide.One service I am especially proud of is my Honeymoon Gift Registry. It allows couples to create a personalised honeymoon fund where wedding guests can contribute towards the cost of your Honeymoon. It is simple, beautifully presented, and takes one more thing off your plate during wedding planning.I also offer travel gift vouchers and experience gifts, which make a thoughtful alternative to traditional presents and create memories that last far longer than things.What truly sets my service apart is the level of care and attention I give every booking. I manage every detail from start to finish, including flights, transfers, hotels, experiences, and timings, so everything flows exactly as it should.

I have dived the beautiful waters of Sipadan and the Gili Islands, and taken a heli-hiking trip on Mount McKinley in Alaska. I've sipped wine in vineyards from Europe to South Africa to North and South America. In more recent years I have become a Mum to two fantastic and full-of-life little boys who, alongside my husband, are now joining me on some of my travels around the world. This presents both new demands (and challenges) but I hope my passion for travel is passed on to them in the future and that their feet follow their heart as they make their own discoveries.I am based in Chelmsford, Essex and happy to meet up over a coffee to chat through your future holiday plans, or if time is short and a phone call is easier then please do get in touch to arrange a convenient time - I understand the demands of everyday life so I can be flexible and available in the evenings and on weekends, for a time that suits you. -

07781 428662Hello, my name is Nicki Harrison and I'm a Travel Counsellor based in Guernsey. I provide a personal travel service using my years of experience as a travel agent, valued customer feedback and the award-winning technology provided by Travel Counsellors to create unique travel itineraries that will leave you with stories to last a lifetime. A quote that truly resonates with me is one from Ibn Battuta... “Travelling – it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.” I have a myriad of wonderful stories to share thanks to the travels I've been so lucky to enjoy, and I love to hear your stories in return. I aim to provide the best service I can to our Guernsey community, but my service is much more than just making a booking. I'll be on hand to help you with all the little touches that will make your trip special and just a message or call away should you need any help while abroad. As a born and bred Guernsey donkey, I understand the needs of local travellers and aim to make the world feel that little bit more accessible. My goal is to be approachable and inclusive, an ethos that's based around the idea of togetherness... working with you to bring the destinations on your bucket list that little bit closer. At every step of your travel journey, you will receive the best care I can offer. I'll always take the time to get to know you and what will make your trip extra special. From visiting you at home or at a favoured cafe to start chatting about your plans, to getting all the arrangements sorted, making sure any dietary, medical or mobility needs are taken care of, delivering your tickets and then catching up when you get home. Becoming a mum in 2024 also opened my eyes to the world of family travel and the priorities of parents. Whether you have a youngster like me or travelling as part of a multi-generational party, I can help to make sure everyone's needs are catered for. Shortly after starting my career in travel, I have been developing my interest in special occasion holidays such as weddings and honeymoons. I hold a City & Guilds qualification in Travel & Tourism as well as an online diploma in Wedding and Event Management and have spent years helping couples from all walks of life to arrange memorable trips to celebrate their special moments. Whether it's a short city break or an around the world adventure, the key to building the perfect trip is in the detail and I hope to be able to help create an authentic, bespoke itinerary just for you soon. As your personal Travel Counsellor, I want to ensure your holiday is ‘once in a lifetime’ every time. -
