    To say that travel is my passion is an understatement... travel is my life and, with nearly 40 years in the Travel Industry, I have planned some of the most incredible travel experiences for my clients.As a Travel Counsellor I have the expertise of a whole host of wonderful travel partners across the world and together we have tips and ideas that can really enhance your holiday experience, making you memories that will last a lifetime.A little bit about me..... I got the travel bug in my late teens and took off for a year motoring across Australia in a beaten-up old VW campervan. I then spent six months backpacking around Thailand, Malaysia, Borneo, Laos, Bali, Singapore and Sri Lanka which was an incredible experience. I am also extremely proud to say that I worked in Disneyworld for a year, and while I was there I was lucky enough to take trips to California, New York and New Orleans and also down to the Caribbean Islands, Bahamas, and Mexico - and of course I know Florida like the back of my hand!People always ask which country is the best that I've visited, and I always give them my 'Top 4' as they all have different reasons for being so awesome and they all have a very special place in my heart... New Zealand for the sheer breath-taking beauty of South Island. Grenada for that little sparkling gem of an island in an already stupidly beautiful Caribbean. Iceland for its surreal landscape, pure air and magical twilight that really does make you question your very existence, and Kenya for a night I will never forget at Treetops Lodge where I was incredibly lucky to stay in the same room where Queen Elizabeth stayed when she visited as a Princess and left as Queen.I look forward to hearing from you and discussing your next travel plans, I am always happy to chat through thoughts and ideas about any country so please do not hesitate to give me a call or drop me an email.With very best wishes & happy travels, Sarah

    William Thompson

    01603501528 Norwich

    Welcome to Travel Counsellors. My name is William and I live in Norwich, where I have been based in between bouts of travel for the last 45 plus years. Now in my thirteenth year with Travel Counsellors, I am passionate about travel and have been lucky enough to visit all seven continents, spending time in over one hundred countries; from Australia to Zimbabwe, Austria to Zambia. I am married with a fifteen year old daughter, who already has her fair share of passport stamps! Alex is now twelve and doing his best to catch up with his big sister, although he does prefer it at home!I joined Travel Counsellors as I wanted to concentrate on giving my customers the highest possible levels of personal service and independent travel advice. Travel Counsellors is one of the largest independent travel agencies in the UK. Before becoming a Travel Counsellor in January 2009, I was a travel consultant with another large independent agency in the UK and prior to that I worked as a flight attendant with British Airways and Air UK. I studied Interpreting and Translation (French and German) at the University of East Anglia, and can also converse in Spanish, Dutch and Italian, should the need arise. This can be very helpful when making special requests for clients directly with hotels, tour companies and airlines.After my studies, I spent nearly three years roaming the globe on an ‘extended’ honeymoon incorporating a special wedding gift of an Antarctic cruise from the southern tip of Argentina. Other trips include extensive travel through Southern and East Africa, USA, Canada, South America, Australia, New Zealand, numerous smaller islands in the Pacific (Fiji, Cook Islands, Tonga and Samoa, among others) and time in South East Asia (Malaysia, Thailand, Laos to name but a few) and the Far East. The cruising bug has also caught me - I have first-hand experience of A-Rosa, Riviera Travel's river cruise boats, AMA Waterways, Regent Seven Seas, Fred Olsen, Azamara Cruise Club, Silverseas, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL), Princess, Gap Adventures and Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC).I can offer you up to date, first-hand knowledge of many countries, can guarantee to be enthusiastic about your booking (and only a little envious!) and save you the time and stress of carrying out your own research. So, be it short stays in the UK and the rest of Europe, honeymoons abroad, fly-drives in the USA or complicated round-the-world itineraries, please do contact me; I look forward to hearing from you.Best wishes,

    Hi, Bonjour, Ola, Konnichiwa …. my name is Ana … thank you for taking the time to read my profile.I grew up on the beautiful Portuguese island of Madeira, a lifetime away from the busy lifestyle I enjoy in Banstead, Surrey today. It was in Madeira that as a child, I first looked out across the Atlantic Ocean and dreamed of travel to vibrant cities, various cultures and the most beautiful of remote sandy beaches. I loved my home, but the desire to explore was too much and I took off travelling the world in my early twenties living, working and spending time in Australia, Thailand (Ko Samui) and other parts of the Far East and the remote Perhentian Islands. On later trips, I managed to cover Mauritius and parts of Africa. It was a truly wonderful time learning about people, culture and most of all…about myself!It’s now a couple of decades later and along the way I have got settled and married to my husband Paul and now enjoy the journey of being a mum to my beautiful daughter. Fortunately, my family enjoy the joy of travelling as much as I do, so we have been lucky enough to have visited many parts of Europe, The Middle East and the United States. Florida continues to be a big favourite with all of us particularly the theme parks of Orlando and the surrounding areas.Becoming a Travel Counsellor felt like a very natural step for me, it allows me to work around my daily schedule but most importantly work in an area that I love. Booking a holiday is an exciting time for all of us and should always be an enjoyable and fun experience. I take great pride in what I do, in listening to the needs and expectations of my clients and in being meticulous in getting both the big and little things just right for you. There is nothing better than a happy client coming back with excited tales on a great trip. I so look forward to hearing from you be it for a family holiday in the UK or abroad, a romantic honeymoon, a luxury cruise, beach holiday, ski trip or quick city break. I am here to make the whole experience a delight and help you create memories that will always bring a smile and last a lifetime. I would like you to think of me as your trusted personal travel expert available around the clock ensuring that your holiday experience is nothing less than perfect.

    Emily Coles

    01788 670022 Rugby

    Hello! I’m Emily, a Rugby based Travel Counsellor!Travel has always been something I’ve considered a lifestyle necessity as opposed to a hobby or a passion. Whilst studying Journalism at university, I used every spare weekend to explore new destinations, whether it was a short break on the South Coast of England, or a few nights in Europe. After years of sharing my own experiences through my travel blog, I decided to take a leap of faith in myself and become a travel counsellor. For me, the best part of travel isn’t just the trip itself, but it is the excitement to share the stories you bring home. The smile on my grandmas face when I bring her home an authentic souvenir, or the way my grandad laughs when I talk about the adventures I’ve endeavoured on makes every part of the journey home from a new destination just as exciting. And that’s the exact feeling I bring to all my clients when they book their personalised holiday with me!I made the decision to become a Travel Counsellor for the opportunity to be part of others stories. I will take away the stress and hassle of spending hours sifting through pages of online deals and provide you with a bespoke holiday catering to your needs, with 100% ATOL protection giving complete financial peace of mind, you can focus your stress on what to pack for your dream getaway instead.As a worldwide company, Travel Counsellors will be there for you 24/7 with our duty office, and with no other obligations, clients are my complete priority. With that in mind, I will be available at a time that best suits you for a chat about your travel desires… a personal service you would not receive booking online. I look forward to hearing from you!PS. Check out my adventures @ travelwithem.com @ travelwithem_tc

    Hi, my name is Rachel, thank you for visiting my webpage - I look forward to helping you with your dream holiday. As an experienced travel consultant, I know how important it is to provide a personalised service and ensure that I go the extra mile to not only meet your needs but go beyond all expectations!I currently live in Dudley having moved to the area in December 2014. I am originally from Halesowen and previously lived in Netherton for 8 years. I am happily married and have three beautiful girls so family life is very active to say the least!Before becoming a Travel Counsellor in 2015, I was a travel agent for a main high street travel agency for over 14 years. Starting as a modern apprentice at 16 years old, (I always knew I wanted to work in travel) I then became a travel consultant after completing NVQ levels 2 & 3 in travel services before eventually completing my management training. In the time I have been in the travel industry, I have also completed different training courses to ensure my knowledge remains in first class and, unsurprisingly, I have travelled all over the world either on my own, with work or with my family.I regularly get asked: "What is your favourite destination?". There are so many and for so many different reasons. I love helping people plan their perfect wedding as I got married in Nissi Bay in Cyprus, so I do have a soft spot for this beautiful island and its luxurious hotels and amazing sights. My most adventurous trip though has to be when I planned an exciting and, at times, breath-taking world tour which covered parts of Asia, Australia, New Zealand and America. I have also been lucky enough to cruise down the Nile in Egypt, meet the big five on safari in Kenya, as well as take in popular destinations in Canada, the Caribbean, Dubai, Hong Kong, an throughout the Mediterranean. I have a great fondness for city breaks with my husband and girls having visited, amongst others, Dublin, Barcelona, Rome, Bruges, Lapland, Iceland as well as getting engaged under the Jet d’Eau in Geneva, one of my personal favourites Reykjavik! I regularly do exclusive group led tours with myself as your guide, So far I have taken groups to Iceland several times, Finland and Italy with many more to come.Being a Travel Counsellor allows me to make it more personal for my customers and being available at convenient times for them, offering them a service that not just anybody can.

    Welcome to my page. My name is Anne-Marie Banks and I am a Travel Counsellor based in Redditch (although I am able to book you your dream holiday from wherever you may live!) From a young age I have loved and been passionate about travel. I am lucky enough to have travelled across four continents and explored a wide range of destinations (though there are still many more on my “bucket list”). My first introduction into the work of a Travel Counsellor was as a customer trying to navigate the complexities of a Disneyworld trip. I was so impressed by the advice, service and overall experience that I received, that I was inspired into becoming a Travel Counsellor myself. As your personal advisor I can work with you to tailor make and organise a trip which meets your exact travel requirements; from package holidays to bespoke adventures, from city breaks to ski and snow, from cruises to safaris, I really do have it all covered. I can liaise with you at a time and place which fits into your busy schedule and take time to really understand your needs. Additionally, you yourself can rest easy in the knowledge that you have a single point of contact for all aspects of your trip meaning all the small details that transform a break from “good” to “unforgettable” can be guaranteed. As a busy, working mum I know just how precious holidays are and therefore how important it is to get it absolutely right. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

  • Jackie Cook

    01536 738370 Desborough

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

  • Muriel Morgan

    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 hope to do my 1st South African Safari as it will be a big Birthday celebration for me & this has been on my bucket list for many years.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. My business is based purely on providing my customers with the highest possible levels of personal service and I would be delighted to assist you with your holiday plans.I hope to hear from you soon.

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

    Meher Oliaji

    01784 780054 Egham

    My name is Meher Oliaji, and I learnt one thing from COVID. Working from home is easy. After more than 30 years running my own travel agency, Karnak Travel in Egham, I now have the support and innovative technology to support my clients while working mainly from home. This has been a new adventure for me, as a Travel Counsellor; still working for myself but now with the support of a large travel agency group behind me.With Travel Counsellors I continue booking with the specialist tour operators my clients have learnt to trust over decades. I can also go on doing what I love: building holiday plans and business trips which exactly suit my clients using flights, hotels, excursions, and activities sourced, negotiated and vetted by Travel Counsellors.My experience includes arranging complex tailormade itineraries and tours to Africa, Asia, Australia and America, but also cruises and stay-still holidays to the Caribbean, Europe, and even Newquay, as well of years of arranging business travel to some fairly obscure places.I’m thorough, careful and I try to ensure my clients won’t have to worry about anything because I’ve thought about everything beforehand.I would love to send all my clients to Seychelles, the most beautiful country in the world. But the truth is, since the world’s most perfect beaches were my childhood playground, my own trips have been less relaxing. I loved the grandeur of the Canadian Rockies, the seemingly endless plains of the Serengeti, the Great Wall of China, the ridiculously ornate interior of St Petersburg’s Hermitage. And I’ve wanted, since I visited 30 years ago, to return to Samarkand, now in a country that didn’t even exist then. Strangely, since my travel agency was named Karnak Travel, I have never been to Egypt.I’m quite a fan of group tours, which make seeing a lot really easy, but since my own first exhausting tour aged 19, called “8 Countries in 10 days” I’ve known the benefits of building my own trips and I’ve enjoyed recommending, planning, and booking for other people too. I’m hoping to go on doing that for my past clients and many future ones for a long time to come.

    With over 25 years’ experience in the travel industry, I look forward to helping you with your travel arrangements whether that be a short break in the UK, a weekend in a stylish European city, a cruise or even a round the world holiday of a lifetime.I live in Manchester with my husband and two children, my daughter Madison who is 21 and my son Jaxon who is 13. I am of course kept on my toes with my children. Jaxon with music lessons and trampoline squad and Madison is currently at university studying Theatre and Performance.I have worked for various travel agencies. My first one was Going Places many moons ago, and I was bitten by the travel bug. I have worked for a large tour operator and also worked for a corporate business travel house. I left travel briefly to work in the family business, however I found I missed it terribly as travel really is my passion and when I decided that I wanted to go back, there really was only one company I would consider going to and that was Travel Counsellors. They are the best of the best. I have been lucky to have travelled a lot in my lifetime including Europe, Caribbean, USA including Las Vegas, which is one of my favourite places, Dubai, The Maldives, The Far East including Singapore and Thailand. I took my mother to Thailand for her 50th Birthday, she says it was a trip of a lifetime for her. I have been to Australia and the French Polynesian islands including Bora Bora where I worked as a holiday program presenter for a well-known Travel Tour Operator. I have done several cruises and I also achieved captain status award for Royal Caribbean/Celebrity Cruises and Azamara by completing all their product training. One of my ultimate favourite trips was Christmas Eve 2015 I took my children and my mum to Lapland to search for the real Father Christmas, it was magical.A lot of people ask me what my favourite holiday is to organise, and I have to say that an multi-centre holidays get me excited, trying to fit all the pieces together is like a fabulous puzzle. Travel Counsellors have a high standard of customer care and this is one of the most important things for me, I always will go the extra mile for you as my customers, so if there is anything I can do to make your trip even more special please do ask and if it’s in my power, then you can consider it done.A lot of people think using a personal travel advisor is going to cost them a lot more but I can tell you it doesn’t and the best part of all is you have the peace of mind of having someone at the end of the phone if something doesn’t quite go to plan and that is really priceless.I really do look forward to hearing from you and helping you your next trip whatever that may be or wherever that may take you.

    Hi and thanks for visiting my page!You and I both love travelling, so let’s work together to create memorable experiences for you whether it be a short break, a family holiday, a special occasion, time away with friends, your honeymoon, or just some much-needed R&R.I joined Travel Counsellors in 2014 whilst living in Abu Dhabi, in United Arab Emirates, which was home for myself and my husband for the last 8 years. It is such an honour to be part of this exciting and innovative company where our ethos is firmly rooted in excellent customer service. My time in the UAE is full of great memories that I will cherish forever as I met so many wonderful people many of whom started out as colleagues or customers and are now friends. On returning to England, I knew that if I wanted to continue providing this great service to friends and family, I would need to open a UK branch. So here I am, eager and ready to go on this new journey!Life in the UAE is ever-changing and the great cultural melting pot just feeds my love of people and embracing different cultures, many of which I learnt about through friendships with people from across the region. It is such a privilege to know that I had that opportunity. I was born and raised in South London from a Jamaican family and part of the vibrant Caribbean community in England; that in itself is a whole travel experience! Over many years I have enjoyed putting together our family trips, organising flights, transfers, car hire, train reservations and excursions. Since joining Travel Counsellors, I have used the invaluable in-house company training and my extensive professional background in HR to put together some wonderfully exciting itineraries for leisure and business clients in the UAE, the US, the UK and a variety of other countries. My clients are from a cross-section of backgrounds and professions with varied interests and requirements for their trips, which has enabled me to establish great international contacts that I can tap into for the benefit of my treasured clientele. It goes without saying, that I’ve had the pleasure to visiting some wonderful places over the years with our family; my husband and 3 (now grown up!) children. We explored Abu Dhabi and the other six Emirates of the UAE extensively and whilst living in the region, also went to the beautiful nation of Oman. My husband and I got bitten by the “travel-bug” as teenagers whilst visiting Spain and taking round trips around the English shores. Over the years, we have visited many parts of the USA, several Caribbean islands, enjoyed countless European weekends away as well as being fortunate enough to visit Japan and Malaysia. Needless to say, there are many more places on my bucket list, including parts of the UK, that I’m yet to see. With over 25 years of experience building and maintaining client relationships, I pride myself on delivering premium quality care and service to every single client. My promise to my clients is to listen to your needs, do the research and remain flexible to the changes as they come. I aim to remain impartial, eliminate the hassle of internet searching and to make your entire experience a pleasure from booking through to every step of the trip itself. No travel centres, just you and I making your travel dreams come true.Let’s explore ideas and get booking together!

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