If you are reading this, and are thinking about organising a holiday for yourself with friends or your family, do get in touch as I'd love the opportunity to help you too.As you can imagine I have seen a lot of interesting changes since I first started my career as a trainee with Pickford’s Travel back in 1988! Time flies ...but travel is my passion and runs through my veins... it's the industry that I love.I pride myself on attention to detail and I thrive on offering an extremely high level of customer service. I have built my business by relying on my customers to refer me to their friends and family - and since I became a Travel Counsellor in 2007, my business has grown substantially. Who doesn’t love to take a holiday? I have been incredibly lucky to travel the world and my favourite destinations include Dubai, the Maldives, the Seychelles, Borneo, Thailand, the Greek islands and Melbourne, Australia. I’ve loved shopping until my feet ached in New York and I've waited patiently in Kenya to spot the baby elephants! I also have a passion for cruising and can share my ship-life experiences with you too; if you haven’t tried cruising before why not treat yourself to a taster cruise – usually two or three nights - on some of the world’s best cruise liners?If you are celebrating something special, why not make it a truly memorable occasion by asking me to organise your plans - I'll promise to add “whistles and bells” .... whether it be a family gathering at a UK hotel, or a special birthday treat abroad to tick something off of your wish-list, I can help you. Let me share my experience, ideas, and suggestions with you and together we can plan your special event.Travel Counsellors are an independent travel agency. I have access to over 3,000 suppliers which means I can tailor-make exactly the right holiday for you at a competitive price.

Choose to spend your well-earned money with someone who CARES … especially during a continued complicated world where countries might have e-visas and passport rules meaning that it is all too easy to "fall down a hole" with not knowing what procedures need to be in place before you can step foot onto a foreign land! I am here for you; to hand-hold... and suggest the best ideas for you, that the internet definitely won't! I just need your preferred holiday dates and then I can get the ball-rolling for you!I look forward to hearing from you, best wishes and happy travelling! Lucy P.S.

07814170941Hi, I’m DanielleI’m a luxury travel consultant based in Luton, living with my husband, our children, and our dog, Ozzie. Travel has always been more than something I enjoy. 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. This allows me to create tailor-made holidays that go far beyond what you will find online. That might be a beautifully balanced multi-centre itinerary, a luxury beach escape, a once-in-a-lifetime cruise, or a family holiday where everything simply works.I plan everything from honeymoons and anniversaries to bucket-list trips, city breaks, cruises, and luxury family travel. 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. You will always have a real person to talk to, honest advice, and support before, during, and after you travel.For peace of mind, all bookings are protected by ATOL and Financial Trust Protection. Just as importantly, you will know someone is looking after your holiday as if it were their own.If you are looking for a travel expert who genuinely cares about getting it right, whether you are planning something simple or something truly special, I would love to help.Let’s create a trip you will talk about long after you are home ✨Danielle -

Based in London, I’ve worked in the Travel industry for over 20 years. Travel is the most enjoyable and most powerful learning tool we have as human beings. Travel enables us to learn about ourselves and the world around us. It bridges cultures, enriches lives and taking a break, however long, protects our mental health.Now for all the benefits that Travel provides, planning it properly can be confusing and stressful, and most of all TIME-CONSUMING! This is where working with a personal Travel Counsellor like me comes into its own.Travel Counsellors is a world-leading, award-winning, independent travel company offering 100% financial protection, 24/7 care whilst you are travelling and access to a community of Global travel experts, who deliver exceptional experiences, and great value to customers. We are experts in saving you time and lowering stress levels. From the minute you start researching, to when you get home. No one will put more thought and care into your travel plans than us.

There are no automated phone lines or call centres with Travel Counsellors. You speak with a human every time with your own direct line.I’ve been lucky to have travelled around the world many times over for both pleasure and business. I have lots of insights, recommendations, tips and tricks to share. If I had to pick my favourite destinations (it’s not easy) then I’d nominate Australia, South East Asia, the Far East, New York, California, Mexico, Italy and Greece.

A conversation together will help us to capture your full requirements and enable us both to ask questions. So whatever your enquiry might be, I’d be delighted to hear from you by phone, email or WhatsApp to arrange to chat – and to see where this journey takes us! -

07956 652921Hi I'm Michael, thanks for reading my webpage.I am a travel expert based in Leeds with 37 years’ experience and I offer a bespoke service tailored to my clients' individual requirements. I arrange group, leisure and corporate travel to all parts of the world. My areas of speciality include travel to Europe, Southern Africa (especially amazing South Africa where I can offer a range of unique, sustainably focussed experiences that no one else in the UK travel trade offers), and also the Caribbean, United States & Asia. I am committed to playing my part in seeing that travel becomes more sustainable. Tourism is a key driver of many countries' economies, and we need to ensure that the benefits of it are shared fairly. In partnership with UK charity The Travel Foundation, I have undertaken training on sustainable travel practices, and conducted research into this subject in order to develop a range of tourist experiences in South Africa. These are focussed on ensuring there is the maximum possible economic benefit in the destination, and that this is shared as widely as possible. I am also recognised as a South Africa Specialist by South Africa Tourism in London. If you're looking for something a bit more personal and bespoke than what the high street chains and internet offer, and if you like the idea of having a professional look after your travel arrangements, saving you time, hassle and money. please give me a call for a chat - or send a message from the link on my webpage.Best wishesMichael -

01923 640318My name is Gemma and I am based just outside of Watford in Hertfordshire. After almost 20 years experience in the travel industry, 18 of which were spent managing a busy high street travel agency, I am now very pleased to be a self employed travel expert with the freedom and flexibility to provide exceptional customer service.My passion for travel has enabled me to visit some truly incredible places. From cruising through the Panama Canal, to seeing the spectacular Northern Lights in Iceland. Climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge to meeting Mickey Mouse in Disneyworld. Being amongst the wild animals on safari in Kenya to having afternoon tea at the Burj Al Arab in Dubai, I really am fortunate to say these are just a very small sample of my travels.I love to share my knowledge and first hand experiences to enrich your travel plans and give you a holiday experience that creates lasting memories. I like to really get to know you and what you want to get out of your holiday experience. I will ask plenty of questions to build something for you and I won't give up until its perfect - I love a challenge. As I am home based, I am available at a time to suit you including weekends and evenings. I am contactable over the telephone, via email and face to face too, so happy to communicate the way you prefer. Over the 18 years managing a travel agency, I have obtained extensive knowledge on long-haul destinations and also on destinations closer to home. I have tailor-made itineraries but also made many arrangements for family holidays who are working towards a particular budget. I worked at cruise events and have cruised personally myself since the age of 11 which gives me the ability to make valid recommendations for you. I also ran successful events at the National Wedding shows in London, arranging destination weddings for larger and intimate groups of friends and family and their once in a lifetime honeymoon trips.I understand its important for you to feel that you are in safe hands and have confidence when making your travel plans. You can rest assured knowing you have choice, flexibility and financial protection when booking with a Travel Counsellor. So whether its an action packed adventure or a cultured city break, a family holiday by the beach or a cruise around the Caribbean, no enquiry is too big or too small and everyone receives the same high level of service and attention to detail. The only limit to my service is packing your suitcase, otherwise I am there every step of the way. I look forward to hearing from you. -

0131 224 0020Hello! I’m Louise Wallace.Your Local Travel Expert in Musselburgh & Beyond. Based in the beautiful coastal town of Musselburgh, East Lothian, I run Niall and Louise Wallace Travel Counsellors alongside my husband, Niall. Although I’ve lived and worked in the Edinburgh area my entire life, my heart is often scattered across the globe, searching for the next incredible experience for my clients.From Software Bugs to Sun-Drenched Shores My journey to becoming a Travel Counsellor wasn’t a straight line, but every step prepared me for what I do today. For years, I worked as a Quality Assurance Engineer, hunting for bugs and glitches within software. That career drilled a "perfectionist" mindset into me. I learned how to spot the tiny details that others might miss.Eventually, I began supporting Niall in the travel business as his assistant, and I quickly realized that my technical precision combined with my obsession for travel was the perfect match. When the opportunity arose to officially join the Travel Counsellors family, I didn’t hesitate. I traded "debugging code" for "de-stressing travel," and I love it!A Family That Explores Together If there is one thing I want my clients to know, it’s this: Adventure doesn't have to stop when you have a family. I live with Niall, our three energetic young sons, and our two black labs, Meg and Mabel. We even recently welcomed a leopard gecko into the family—a direct result of the kids being inspired by the wildlife we encountered on a recent trip to Thailand! I didn't travel extensively as a child, but I have certainly made up for it as an adult. Whether it’s navigating the rugged wilderness of Alaska (a personal favorite for the breathtaking wildlife), exploring the vibrant streets of Thailand, or enjoying the magic of Florida, Dubai, and Canada, we travel as a pack. I know firsthand the logistics, the challenges, and the pure joy of world schooling my children through real-life experiences.Why Book With Me? In an era of endless search engines and confusing fine print, I offer something a website can’t: A personal relationship.Being a Travel Counsellor means I combine my personal "on-the-ground" travel insights with the world-class backing and financial protection of the Travel Counsellors brand. My goal is to provide a level of customer service that is truly unparalleled. • Detail-Oriented: I use my QA background to ensure every booking is seamless. • Stress-Free: I take away the uncertainty and the hours of "tab-switching" research. • Always There: From the first spark of an idea until you’re safely back home, I am available to answer every question and handle every query.I am deeply committed to every person who trusts me with their precious holiday time. It would be my absolute pleasure to exceed your expectations and craft a journey you’ll remember forever.I can’t wait to hear where you want to go next!Louise Wallace -

0161 297 0100Hi… I’m Wayne and I have been in the travel industry now for over 40 years. The last 30 years, I have been selling cruises… a great passion of mine from when I was a young boy. I have cruised and travelled extensively as you’ll see. I am married to Pam and we have two gorgeous daughters, both married to wonderful boys… four adorable grandsons, two courtesy of each daughter, and a beautiful granddaughter too. Nearly forgot.. we have a cheeky little dog as well.I have seen so many places on my cruise travels and many who know me have caught the bug too. Some of the more memorable trips have been a QE2 Transatlantic crossing, Fred Olsen’s Black Watch Amazon, Silversea’s Silver Cloud Red Sea, Crystal Serenity’s Caribbean, Regent Navigator’s New York and Bermuda, Holland America’s Maasdam Panama Canal, APT‘s AmaBella Danube… and numerous other trips to the Baltic, Fjords, Spitsbergen, Mediterranean, South Africa, Far East and more.I live in Manchester and have worked from home for many years now. You cannot cruise and travel as much as I do without building up an extensive and varied knowledge base of all the sights, sites (yes, a little bit of a tongue twister), and places I’ve visited on my travels. I get excited at the thought of sharing my first-hand knowledge and experiences with people I talk to. I am no “tick box” traveller. To me, every single trip is full of the memories we create from them.I have to confess that my evenings out with friends invariably end up in us talking travel and I love hearing as much about their experiences as they do about mine. What free time I have I love being with family, reading, listening to relaxing music or walking our dog. Cruising remains my passion, as you will realise when you speak to me. If it’s cruising, cruises, cruise ships, cruise destinations…. in fact, just about anything cruise related, then get in touch with me.My many clients trust my no-nonsense, professional and “say what I do, do what I say” approach. You’ll be in good hands with your cruise and travel arrangements being handled by me personally. -

01926291340Hello, I'm Katie, and I've recently taken an exciting new step to turn my passion for travel into a career as a Travel Counsellor. I grew up in the beautiful green countryside of Ireland, surrounded by perfect beaches and so much natural beauty, the kind of place that inspires love for adventure and the outdoors. Over the years, I've been lucky enough to explore parts of Europe, including France, Greece, Spain, Portugal, Hungary, Denmark and the Netherlands, and once made it across the Atlantic to New York! Each destination has given me unforgettable memories and a deeper passion for travel. Before starting this journey, I worked in retail, and later qualified as a veterinary nurse and spent many years caring for animals. Caring for people and animals has always come naturally to me, and I love bringing that same care and attention to detail into planning holidays. I'm also a proud mum of two little boys, who remind me every day how precious shared experiences and memories are. I believe travel is one of the best ways to learn about ourselves, it opens our minds, enriches our lives and helps us see the world, and ourselves, in a new light. I'm especially excited to help my clients make memories that will last a life-time, whether it's a romantic escape, a family adventure, or a once in a lifetime trip, I take pride in creating something truly special for every client.

My journey in travel started in 1999 when I joined the industry aged just 16 as an apprentice, a year later I was fortunate to win the first of many awards in my career when I was crowned “apprentice of the year” out of 650 other candidates. That journey has now taken me to setup my own independent travel business supported by Travel Counsellors. I still get the same buzz today as I did back all them years ago when I started out in travel at hearing how much a client has enjoyed their trip and the life memories they have made. For all my clients, I’m available day and night, offering a true one-to-one personalised travel service. In addition to this, everything you book is 100% financially protected against supplier failure by either ATOL or the Travel Counsellors Trust, giving you absolute peace of mind.

From the time of planning, to booking, to dealing with emergency situations should they arise, I will always be available to you at the end of the phone or email to ensure your experience is as stress free and enjoyable as possible.

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. -

Over the past 12 years we have visited many hotels and attractions across the island, so I know it really well and love sharing those first hand tips. I have also travelled to Dubai and to Doha in Qatar. Qatar in particular is very up and coming, and I would highly recommend both destinations, even if it is just for a stopover on a longer journey. I am also a big fan of European city breaks. Christmas markets are a favourite of mine, and Bruges and Prague are wonderful options for a festive escape.A little about me: I have been travelling for over 20 years and in all that time I have only had one flight cancelled. Thanks to the support and “thinking outside the box” approach of Travel Counsellors, we only missed one night of our holiday. Experiencing that level of care first hand made a huge impression on me. It showed me how important it is not just to create amazing holidays, but also to make sure that if something does go wrong, you are never left feeling alone or abandoned. There is always someone ready to help and go the extra mile. That is exactly why I became a Travel Counsellor: to offer that same reassurance and support to my own customers.Whether you are dreaming of a once in a lifetime escape or simply a much needed short break, I can create a bespoke itinerary that is tailored just for you.

Whether you are travelling solo, as a couple, with family, or as part of a group, there are options made just for you.I feel very lucky to have travelled to many different countries and stayed in a wide variety of hotels and accommodation types. I have experienced travel as a couple, as a family, and with extended family of different ages and mobilities. I know first hand how these different dynamics can change what you need from your holiday, and this is where I can really help.As a Travel Counsellor, I pride myself on offering a truly personal service.

My passion for travel began in my early twenties, when I spent eighteen months working and travelling around Australia and New Zealand, as well as exploring the South Pacific Islands. Since then, I have been lucky enough to visit six continents and well over 30 countries and still get as excited planning trips now as I did back then.Over the years I have curated many different styles of trips all over the world, including adventure holidays, relaxing luxury breaks, beach escapes, ski trips and unforgettable honeymoons. I have three teenage children, so I am very well versed in planning travel for families of all ages and stages, and I know first‑hand which destinations and hotels really work when you are travelling together.I offer a travel concierge service that is completely bespoke: built by me, tailored to you. From a relaxed family villa holiday in the Greek Islands to a once‑in‑a‑lifetime safari adventure in Kenya, I will carefully research every aspect of your trip, make sure it is right for you, look after the entire booking process, organise your documents and check in. I'll be on hand throughout your trip to answer any questions, make any last‑minute amendments or deal with any issues.With the reassurance of booking with me through Travel Counsellors, you benefit from financial and ATOL protection, 24/7 support from our Duty Office and the convenience of the myTC app, alongside my personal care before, during and after you travel. As a working mum, I understand that not everything fits neatly into a 9–5 day, so I can make myself available at times that suit you, whether that is during the day, in the evening or at weekends.If you are ready to start planning your next getaway, I would love to help.

01172056396Travel has always been more than a booking for me – it is about how a journey feels from start to finish. Exceptional travel is defined by the details: the right flight, the right hotel, and an itinerary that flows effortlessly.I bring a wealth of personal experience travelling in premium airline cabins, including Business and First Class, complemented by stays in some truly outstanding hotels worldwide. In addition, I have worked closely with individuals who fly privately as part of their professional lives, giving me a clear understanding of the standards, service levels, and efficiency expected at the highest end of travel. This perspective directly informs how I advise on commercial aviation, allowing me to distinguish between what looks premium on paper and what genuinely delivers.As a result, I am highly selective when recommending airlines. I understand the nuances between carriers, cabins, aircraft types, and onboard service, and I only suggest options that are genuinely right for each client’s priorities — whether that is privacy, comfort, consistency, or value within a premium experience.Alongside this, I have a young family, which provides practical, first-hand insight into travelling well with children. From choosing the right resorts and room configurations to balancing relaxation with engaging activities, I am able to recommend family holidays based on real experience rather than assumption.As a Travel Counsellor, I specialise in carefully tailored travel, including refined city breaks, family holidays, complex multi-destination itineraries, and once-in-a-lifetime journeys. I take time to understand how each client prefers to travel, ensuring every element reflects their expectations.You will benefit from a highly personal service, supported by the global reach, financial protection, and 24/7 support of Travel Counsellors. From our first conversation through to your return home, every detail is managed with discretion, care, and attention. -

01672 837510I have always loved travelling; the opportunity to visit exciting countries and experience diverse cultures is surely one of life’s greatest luxuries. I have taken that passion for travel into my work as I love arranging holidays and booking trips for my clients. I offer a bespoke, personal service backed-up by years of experience in the travel industry. I have the instincts to recognise what clients want as well as the knowledge of how to find the best bookings for them. The Travel Counsellors network provides all the support necessary to make sure that through me you will receive the best possible care and the best possible deals.In my time I have been lucky enough to travel across almost every continent on the planet – Antarctica remains a goal for the future! My favourite part of the world remains the Far East; not least because it brings back happy memories from my honeymoon in Burma but also due to wonderful trips to Cambodia, Borneo and Thailand amongst others. The levels of service, care and attention to detail that you receive as a guest in the Far East always amazes me and always has me longing to go back.In addition to the Far East I have travelled through India, Australia and New Zealand, the Amazonian rain forest and the Masai Mara. The two most striking places that I have visited must be the awe-inspiring Angkor Wat in Cambodia and Utah’s Monument Valley – not least due to its complete contrast to nearby Las Vegas.It’s not just exotic holidays that I can help you with. I also have extensive knowledge of European destinations as well as within the British Isles and I am here to help you with every type of booking.Like you I expect the highest standards when I travel. As my client you can rest easy knowing that all your travel needs will be looked after to the highest possible degree throughout your booking and holiday experience. -

0191 640 3770Hello, my name is Susan and I am a Travel Counsellor based in the Northeast of England. After a spell in London of ten years I returned to the Northeast to re-connect with my Geordie roots.Before becoming a Travel Counsellor in 2015, I have worked within the travel industry for twenty two years. During this time I have specialised in a range of travel including Corporate Travel, Worldwide and European Tailor-made Holidays, Ski Holidays, VIP Luxury Travel and Wellbeing Spa Holidays. I absolutely pride myself on my dedication to create the perfect holiday/trip for all of my clients, whether they need to travel on Business or they are requiring a complete get away from it all. No matter which area of travel I have worked in I have created long lasting and personal relationships along the way.Travel is my ultimate passion! I love to travel to new destinations, meeting the locals and experiencing new cultures and customs. I will always remember what that dream holiday means to you or how important it is that you arrive on time for your business meeting. Wellbeing is also my other passion, could it be that you are now looking for something more than a holiday and you need “a life changing experience” this is where I can offer advice and create the right holiday for you. During my years in travel I have been extremely fortunate and have travelled extensively worldwide however The Far East has a truly special place in my heart, in particular India, Thailand and Vietnam. There is something for everyone in all of these destinations from beach holidays in Goa to the birthplace of yoga or the hustle and bustle of Bangkok to the laid back lifestyle on the islands. Maybe you want to travel to an Asian country which is less visited? Then Vietnam is the answer, a mixture of history, culture, golf, spa and stunning beaches, this truly healing country will leave you feeling energised and wanting to return time and time again.I understand that to create your perfect trip takes time and planning and needs to be done at a time to suit you therefore I can offer a fully flexible service working around you and the times you are available, what is important to me is that you are 100% satisfied with the choice that you make.

020 3808 8584Hi, I’m Fergus! I’ve worked in travel for over nine years, turning my lifelong love of exploring the world into a career that lets me help others plan truly unforgettable trips. Originally from Northern Ireland – which will always have my heart – I now help clients across the UK and beyond create holidays and travel experiences that fit them perfectly. I specialise in tailor-made holidays and diving adventures, with a particular passion for South East Asia – especially the Philippines, where I’ve explored some of the most stunning dive sites on the planet. I’ve also travelled extensively through Thailand, Mexico, Egypt, North America, and the Caribbean, so I’m always happy to share first-hand tips and recommendations. Alongside leisure travel, I also look after corporate clients, ensuring their business travel is smooth, efficient, and stress-free. From coordinating complex itineraries to managing last-minute changes, I pride myself on providing clear communication and fast, reliable solutions. My corporate clients often tell me they value my thoroughness, approachability, and the confidence that everything is handled professionally. As a few of my clients have kindly said, “Fergus always finds time to listen and respond efficiently,” “he makes the whole process smooth and clearly communicated,” and “he’s very knowledgeable and always able to provide a solution.” Those words mean the world to me because they capture exactly what I aim for with every booking – friendly, professional service with a personal touch. Whether you’re planning a luxury beach break, an adventurous dive trip, or managing business travel for your team, I’d love to help make your journey effortless from start to finish. -

01932 809 630Hello and thank you for visiting my web page. If you’re looking for a holiday personally tailored to your requirements, with support from the time you book until the moment you arrive safely back home, you’re in exactly the right place. Do you love to travel, but haven’t got either the time or inclination to research? Or would you like a once in a lifetime holiday and don’t know where to start? How do you know the company you’ve found online is legitimate? What if things go wrong before you travel or while you’re away? I love to research holidays and have a real interest in Africa and the Far East both of which I’ve been lucky enough to visit on more than one occasion. These holidays can often involve a number of flights, hotels, excursions and transfers. I have a network of trusted suppliers based all over the world who can help me to create bespoke (100% financially protected) holidays. Recent events have reinforced the need to use an experienced travel provider. A real person who is available for you to speak to, right up until the moment you return from your holiday. My decision to become a Travel Counsellor was born from a love of travel and a desire to help others realise their travel dreams. I’m passionate about good customer service – something which is sadly lacking in today’s environment. I provide my customers with a personal service; they only ever deal with me and I’m delighted I have some wonderful customers I now call friends. My love of travel goes back a long way; sparked by my first holiday abroad, a two-week Mediterranean cruise with school. As soon as I could I went to work for an airline – only leaving to bring up my two, now grown up, children. They both had their first holiday abroad when they were 3 months old and still love to travel. When the children were younger, we had lots of family trips to Europe (particularly Germany) and USA. More recently my husband and I have had some real ‘bucket list’ holidays – visiting Singapore, Vietnam, India, Australia in addition to various African and Far East countries. Our most recent family trip was visiting Lapland between Christmas 2025 and the new year. We’re busy planning more trips, but the list just gets longer! When you’re considering your next holiday why not get in touch for a chat – I promise you won’t regret it. -

They come to me to have it properly planned and managed from the very beginning.Some are ticking off a long-held dream — the once-in-a-lifetime safari, the overwater villa, the milestone trip they’ve talked about for years.Others want complete escape — effortless care, beautiful surroundings, and the ability to switch off knowing everything has been arranged before they arrive.Some are drawn to depth and authenticity — boutique hotels, hidden gems, meaningful experiences beyond the obvious.And for many families, it’s about something even more important: time together and making memories.I take time to get to know you — how you like to travel, the pace you enjoy, and the details that elevate a trip from good to exceptional. I carefully plan each element: the right routing, the right room type, seamless transfers, and special requests handled in advance — all considered before you even pack your suitcase.If your priority is simply the lowest online price, there are many ways to book. If your priority is having everything carefully planned, protected, and managed seamlessly — that’s exactly what I do.Because holidays aren’t just trips. They’re the most important weeks of your year — and they deserve to be handled with care -

With access to a trusted global network of travel partners, I can open doors to unique stays, curated itineraries, and options you won’t find on the usual booking sites.My love for cruising has given me first hand insight into some of the top river cruise lines; having sailed with several of the best known brands, I can offer expert guidance on which ones might best suit your style.

These are areas I genuinely love and specialise in, and I’m always excited to share my knowledge to help you find the perfect sailing.As a mum of three (including twins!), I also understand the practicalities of family travel and know exactly how to make it enjoyable, smooth, and memorable for everyone.

I’ve created everything from simple family beach breaks to complex, multi-stop itineraries that take you across continents, including first class flights and private jet travel for those extra-special trips.Before becoming a Travel Counsellor, I worked in the West End for a major tour operator designing tailor-made trips all over the globe, then moved to a smaller independent Croatian specialist as Head of Sales. That role meant lots of time in Croatia, getting to know the coastline, islands and hidden gems that most people never see.Travel that feels good and does good: Responsible travel is something I care deeply about. Having seen so many beautiful landscapes, cultures and communities first-hand, I am very aware of how fragile our world is. I want my daughters, and future generations, to be able to experience it just as I have.

I have scouted resorts, navigated the logistics and uncovered the best kept secrets you won’t find in a standard search engine.After moving back to the UK, I continued my career at a major tour operator’s head office, gaining valuable insight into how holidays are created behind the scenes.

I am here to excite you about your plans, but also to keep you calm and confident that everything is handled properly.I ask different questions on purpose. Why this destination? Why this year? Why these people? Because travel is emotional. It marks moments in life. And when you come back, I want to hear about the experiences that gave you goosebumps, not just whether the hotel was nice.I specialise in creating experiential, unforgettable holidays across places like Thailand, Vietnam, Australia, the USA (especially the Deep South), and Egypt.

I bring a wealth of knowledge from my own adventures, so I can filter through all the options to find the perfect experiences, hotels, and logistics that match your style, pace, and preferences.
