    Welcome! My name is Hannah, I love to travel and I love to help you travel too!Since a young age, I have been fortunate to travel many places and experience many different holiday types. My passion and love for travel is now apparent in my children and we are always planning and discussing our next get away. In the last few years, we have been lucky enough to have some amazing trips, in particular Lapland, Iceland, African Safari Adventure and our first taste of Asia. This summer we enjoyed some time in Devon and our annual trip to France. If you know me, you’ll know every year I say it’s the last and then off we go again! Secretly, we actually love it! It’s easy as we travel by ferry and even Lenny our Lab comes along! This year we went to Normandy for the first week and then travelled down to the Loire Valley for our second week. We’ve been to both areas before; Normandy is rich in its history and very interesting with the beaches and museums. The Loire Valley, renowned for its Chateaux’s, beautiful scenery and Rose Wine is a favourite of ours. Our Italian Adventure in October which saw us exploring Pisa, Florence, Lucca, and Siena and then a train down to Rome. We had an amazing time, fabulous food and locals and was great to fit so much in.This year we have Thailand to look forward to, we are visiting the North this time, rich in culture and traditions we're hoping to see another side of Thailand. Then in the summer the girls and I are off on our first cruise around Scandinavia! I've enjoyed visiting many cruise ships over the last couple of years and did cruise many moons ago but so much has changed, we are very much looking forward to it.I absolutely love hearing from you and helping you create wonderful memories. I truly care about your holiday, I treat it like my own; even down to producing local guides, recommending trips, local information, and restaurants if that is what you’d like. I work with you so that I can have a good understanding of what you and your travel companions would like. I have access to 1000’s of direct suppliers as well as well-known tour operators meaning I have the flexibility to create your perfect trip.

    Hi, I'm Grant - welcome to my webpage!I have 25 years' experience working within the travel industry, working for a well known UK travel brand. I started my career in Kensington, London, before relocating to the Nottingham area nearly 15 years ago. I have worked particularly in the field of First and Business Class travel, but am well versed in arranging all types of travel arrangements, individually building holidays for clients to all corners of the globe.My passion for travel has always been there from a young age, when my uncle who worked in the airline industry used to tell us tales of his travels around the world... his adventures struck a chord with me that never left. I set of on a journey around the world in 1999 which was to last nearly two years, and included over 50 countries with countless experiences - from snowmobiling in Norway, watching golden eagles swoop into Lake Dal in Kashmir, India at sunset, then sitting in Olympic Stadium during the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games.I have experienced so many different types of holiday, including several cruises, group tours, individual touring, motorhome holidays, beach holidays, which I think gives me a great insight into the holidays my clients are planning. My service includes visa advice for the countries you plan to visit, along with information on immunisations.My mission is to constantly exceed the expectations of my clients, be it arranging a meal on a mountaintop in Oman, or a special anniversary dinner at an underwater restaurant in the Maldives - nothing is too much trouble.I live in Castle Donington, Derbyshire, with my wife (who I met in Fiji 25 years ago during my travels...) and two children aged 15 and 13 years. My kids also now have the travel bug - in 2014 we took them to Australia for a month, where they had a magical time, getting around on planes, trains, boats, bikes... and even a helicopter on the Great Barrier Reef.So, whether you are looking for a short break to one the great European capitals, a cruise in the Caribbean, a trip on the Orient Express, relaxing on a beach in Mauritius, or the trip of a lifetime around Australia, please get in touch.I look forward to hearing from you - feel free to contact me during office hours or in the evening, at a time that suits you.

    Jade Rackley

    01843 550 040 Palm Bay, Kent

    My name is Jade and I am a Travel Counsellor from the South East corner of the UK. I have lived close to the coast my whole life, growing up in the seaside town of Ramsgate before moving over to a lovely spot in between the coastal towns of Margate and Broadstairs, where I now live with my partner and our two small children.I was bitten by the travel bug from a young age, as I was fortunate enough to go on lots of lovely family holidays across Europe and the USA. At twenty one I pursued a career in travel and became cabin crew for British Airways, flying all over the world, and landing in some places I had never even heard of! I lived the jet-setter life for a few years before deciding it was time to place my feet back on the ground and continue my travel career but in a new direction. After hanging up my wings, I worked for two high-street agents, Kuoni and TUI respectively. Both companies gave me huge insight and experience into all aspects of travel, from tailor-made adventures to package holidays and UK getaways, I gained so much valuable knowledge during my time on the high-street, which then eventually led me to decide to take the leap and launch my own travel business with Travel Counsellors.I absolutely love being a Travel Counsellor, initially because I loved the flexibility around my children, but now because I love the freedom and flexibility I can offer my clients, too. I am not bound by traditional high-street hours and targets, and my clients like to think of me as their personal travel advisor in their pocket, as I am only ever a WhatsApp message or phone call away.Before I had my children I was a real culture-vulture. For my own holidays I absolutely loved to go off the beaten track and explore little-known places, however my current holidays are now more family-focused, and very occasionally I like to visit an adult-only gem for some precious R&R.There really is no limit to what I can offer, from once-in-a-lifetime long-haul trips to a sight-seeing city break, cruise’s and even a relaxing weekend here in the UK, I have the experience, knowledge and technology to enable your dream holidays to come to life.Everything you book with me is 100% financially protected by Travel Counsellors unique Financial Trust and our ATOL bond. I also do not offer a fee for my services.If I sound like I could be the Travel Advisor for you and you would like help planning your next getaway, please do not hesitate to get in touch. I love nothing more than a Whatsapp or email with holiday ideas and plans!I look forward to hearing from you soon.

    Wayne Frieslander

    0161 297 0100 Manchester

    Hi…      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.

  • Jan Palmer

    01638 779110 Methwold

    Hello and welcome!My name is Jan and I am here to help, advise and assist you in making your travel arrangements as perfect as possible. I have spent many years travelling and living abroad but am now enjoying a quiet life in the countryside. Actually, living with 2 dogs, 2 cats, 3 chickens and in a full renovation project means it is not quite as quiet as I would like it to be, but I am working towards it being so one day!I was in my late teens when I first went to work abroad in Germany and was immediately bitten by the bug of all things foreign. Everything intrigued me, from learning the language, appreciating a different culture, enjoying new culinary experiences and especially the pure adventure of it all. My first big trip was to the USA where I hitch hiked through a dozen states, which brought a wealth of weird and wonderful experiences. I then went on to finance my travels by working ski seasons and travelling a different continent each summer. Hence it was a natural progression for me to go onto work in travel and combine my experience and passion and I have now amassed over 30 years in the industry, mostly working as a travel consultant. During this time I have gained a wealth of knowledge about airlines, countries, different routes, specialist lodges, unique boutique accommodations and quality hotels. I take great pride in taking the time to find the ones you will enjoy most. I am a worldwide consultant but specialise in booking business class flights, quality hotels and designing bespoke itineraries – no two are ever the same! I believe that booking a holiday is a very personal experience and only by getting to know people, their tastes and interests that you can truly create the ideal itinerary for them. I think that the whole booking experience should be an enjoyable process from the first conversation to the unpacking of the suitcase. Working as a travel counsellor allows me to be completely flexible and independent in the way I work and thus being able to offer a customised, nothing is too much trouble, expert service to my clients. So if this sounds of interest or you would just like to have a chat or call for some advice then please don’t hesitate to get in touch.Happy travels, Jan

  • Carter Laffan

    0207 125 0009 Croydon

    I have worked in the travel industry in both leisure and corporate travel for over 20 years now. A gap year desire to travel became three years of living and working in various far-flung places, but I found I was always working for small tour companies, at hotels and once even on a yacht around Madagascar!My desire to travel and work within this industry lead me first to leisure and tailor-made trips. The conversation of where to go and what to do when there, to make every trip full and unforgettable with someone is always a great experience. I still travel as often as possible as there is no substitute for real first experience of that feeling when you walk into an amazing lobby or just warm and charming hotel. There is no way to describe the sand between your feet or a wonder of an ancient temple without the feel and sense of awe. That’s what I get to sell. While I have a passion for these trips, my long career lead to a focus on corporate travel over the last 8 years. The fast pace and often complicated logistical nature is something I found I really enjoy. While the travel may be corporate, I believe the service should be personal and in a friendly manner. I have experience with meetings, groups, conferences and can assist in writing and implementing travel policy and booking process if needed.

Together we have been lucky enough to travel all over the world – experiencing family holidays, luxury breaks and long-haul, tailor made excursions.I have worked in several areas of the travel and tourism industry for over 30 years – from working in a high street travel agency (where I was constantly awarded as an ‘A’ performer), to providing business travel for a large corporate company, and even being a ground agent at Leeds-Bradford airport.

    02071250008 London

    Hi and thank you for taking the time to view my profile.My passion for travel started back in 1993 when after six years of working for National Westminster Bank, I decided I wanted to see the world. I travelled to Africa, India, Nepal, Thailand, Mexico, Guatemala and finally Canada where I stayed for three years working in an art gallery in Toronto, and worked my way across to Vancouver with the same company.On my return to the UK in 1997, I started a position with Fidelity Investments but quickly realised my bug for travel was not satiated and in 1998, embarked on a trip to the Philippines, Fiji and Australia where I worked for St George Bank for nine months. I visited Guatemala for the second time travelling by bus through Mexico up to San Francisco where I stayed for five years. I travelled extensively across the west coast visiting Oregon, Utah, Idaho, Wyoming and Nevada and of all the places I visited, Lake Tahoe is my favourite. I returned to the UK in 2003 and naturally it made perfect sense to me to embark on a career in travel so I joined Flightcentre UK, firstly in the direct stores in New Malden, then moving to Sutton Surrey store where I remained until 2007. I was sent on numerous educational trips to destinations such as South Africa, New Zealand, Rio, New York and countless European countries all of which were fantastic and enabled me to gain an extensive knowledge of how travel operators and hotels work. I happily share this knowledge with customers and colleagues alike with the aim of benefitting their travel experience.In 2007 I decided to move to Corporate Traveller. I was spending more and more time with corporate clients, establishing their needs, cementing business relationships, making recommendations and thus making savings. I managed a number of very high profile accounts, examples including Aston Martin, BBVA bank, Celebrity Speakers, Circassia Pharmaceutical and many others and I always maintained the relationships with both bookers and travellers to a very high standard. I have won customer service awards and was the only consultant in the company to attend the Global Ball in Berlin in 2018, (runner up in 2019) based on customer excellence survey results and pride myself on the relationships I have with my clients. I have now embarked on a career with Travel Counsellors, a company founded in 1994, with full ATOL protection, over two thousand staff, full out of hours protection, Queens award winner three times, a five star trust pilot rating, British Travel awards winners and most important of all for me, a company with a truly holistic approach to customers and consultants. Our priorities will always be your safety and your travel experience.Kind regards,Brian Costello.

Having grown up in South Africa, I have been on countless safaris and wine tours and have found my passion for nature and animals in my beautiful home country. Once I had spread my wings beyond the South African borders, my journeys took me to the snowy slopes of Scotland, the pyramids of Egypt, the amazing landscapes of Italy, the coast of Portugal, the crazy rides of Walt Disney World, France, Russia, and countless more.

    My insatiable wanderlust first began back in 2004 as I stepped barefoot on the sugar white sands of Koh Samet in Thailand. If I close my eyes, I'm right back there in a flash. Since then I've travelled to some of the world's most untouched places, collecting an encyclopedia of knowledge along the way. I've sailed to the remote Indonesian island of Flores to see Komodo dragons and swam in the incredible Kuang Si Falls of Luang Prabang. I've sipped the finest wines in South Africa's Delaire Graff Estate and shopped for spices in India's colourful markets.It’s these life-enriching moments that I love to create for my clients. Being fully independent means it's less about the corporate bottom-line and more about the client experience. Before you book, I spend time getting to really know you - the things you love and anything you loathe. Prefer a window seat on your flight? No problem. Keen to steer clear of crowds? Noted. I'll build a relationship with you that can be likened to a trusted friend, with the back-up of full ATOL financial protection should something go wrong. When it comes to the type of travel I organise, tailormade trips, luxury long-haul, honeymoons and family-friendly holidays are my expertise. For anything else, my network of 2,000+ Travel Counsellors are on hand to help me find the perfect holiday to suit your needs.If this sounds like the type of service you're looking for, I'd love to chat. Call or email me anytime and I'll be in touch!

    I’m Adam, your local Travel Counsellor and I love what I do which is creating and booking your perfect getaways. Whether it’s an all-inclusive family sun holiday, a solo adventure or anything in between I am here for you, your friends and family.My passion for travel started early when I backpacked through India and Sri Lanka, ending my adventure with a week in the Maldives.Since that journey eighteen years ago, I find solace in all travel whether it be dining barefoot on the sands of the Caribbean, wandering cobble lanes through historic European cities or the sensory overload as I take in the bustle of everyday life in the Far East.I feel very fortunate to have been to some incredible destinations so far and if I had to name just two stand out experiences, it would be India with Argentina & Brazil as a twin-centre holiday.I immersed myself into the backpacker way of life in India. Waking each morning with a loose plan of where I was heading, finding amazing eateries on side streets all whilst taking recommendations from people I meet along the way. I’m still mesmerised by the people, the history and culture of India. My first experience of South America was venturing from Buenos Aires to Rio De Janeiro via Iguazu Falls. One word sums up my experience, WOW! From the outstanding natural beauty of Argentina to the colourful festivities of Carnival in Rio, this is a trip I’ll never forget.I know just how important seamless planning, booking and travelling abroad is. I also understand the travel landscape changes and using a trusted travel agent makes all the difference.

    Jenny Igoe

    0203 627 2660 Whetstone

    It’s Lovely to Meet YouI’m Jenny, an independent Travel Counsellor based in Whetstone, North London. I’ve worked in travel for over 20 years and have been running my own travel business for the past nine years, helping clients plan holidays and trips that are well thought out, personal, and genuinely enjoyable from start to finish.I believe travel planning should feel exciting, not overwhelming. My role is to take the stress away, handle the details, and make sure everything runs smoothly. I work closely with my clients, getting to know what they like (and what they don’t), so every trip is tailored properly rather than feeling like a one-size-fits-all booking.My love of travel started early thanks to my parents, who made sure we travelled abroad every year. At 20, I headed off on my first big adventure to Thailand, followed by a year living and working in Sydney. On the way home I travelled through Fiji, Hawaii, LA and Las Vegas — which completely cemented my love for seeing the world.I began my career with a Modern Apprenticeship at Thomas Cook, before spending ten years at Flight Centre in London. During that time, I gained solid experience in tailor-made, business and long-haul travel, and was lucky enough to visit some incredible places, including Tanzania on safari, Zanzibar, and the US.In 2008, my husband and I travelled through South and Central America — from Brazil and Argentina to Peru, Bolivia and Costa Rica — trekking the Inca Trail and experiencing some truly unforgettable moments along the way. Those trips shaped the way I plan travel today: focusing on experiences, not just destinations.Now we travel as a family of five, with three teenagers, and our trips range from skiing holidays and European breaks to long-haul adventures like Australia, Dubai and next year we are off to Asia. Travelling with teens has given me a very practical understanding of what works (and what doesn’t) when planning family holidays — especially when comfort, pace and flexibility matter.Whether you’re planning a big trip, a special celebration, or simply want someone you trust to organise your travel properly, I’d love to help. Just get in touch with your ideas and we’ll take it from there.Jenny

    John Picken

    01670 284130 Northumberland

    Hi, my name is John and I am a Travel Counsellor based in Blyth on the beautiful Northumberland coast.Are you looking forward to a holiday but don’t want the stress of researching locations, hotels, and flights yourself? Worried about whether those online reviews are reliable or if you’ve missed something important in your itinerary? Do you dream of a trip tailored entirely to you, so you can simply relax and enjoy the experience?If so, you’ve come to the right place. My mission is to provide a completely personal service – from your very first enquiry right through to the moment you return home – so all you need to do is pack your bags and have the time of your life. I’ll take care of everything: researching and planning, securing the best arrangements, thinking through the little details that make a big difference, and being there whenever you need me.As a vegan myself, I understand how challenging it can be to travel with specific dietary requirements – especially when hotels or destinations aren’t set up for them. That’s why I can create holidays that take the stress out of finding suitable dining options, whether that’s securing vegan-friendly hotels, arranging restaurant recommendations, or building itineraries that celebrate plant-based cuisine.I also believe travel should have a positive impact, both on you and the world around you. I can help you choose options that support local communities, promote ethical wildlife experiences, and reduce environmental impact – so your holiday is not only memorable for you, but also meaningful for the people and places you visit.My own travel experiences span from childhood holidays in the UK to multi-destination adventures in South East Asia and beyond. I believe every holiday – whether big or small, hot or cold, adventurous or relaxing – should be special. By taking the time to talk with you at a time that suits you, I’ll design a trip that reflects what truly matters to you, filled with the kind of moments you’ll look back on fondly for years to come.Alongside my personal expertise, I have access to a global network of fellow Travel Counsellors and local specialists, so wherever you want to go, I can handcraft a quote packed with hidden gems and authentic experiences. You’ll also have the reassurance of 24/7 support from both myself and our Duty Office, plus complete financial protection through ATOL and the unique Travel Counsellors Trust Fund.So, whether you already have a destination in mind or are looking for inspiration, the first step to your most memorable, worry-free holiday is just a phone call away.Your perfect holiday, designed around you – your tastes, your values, and your way of travelling.

    Whether you are booking a quick trip to Europe, at home in the British Isles or planning something special long haul, I can provide you with a quality holiday or business trip with the great attention to detail that is vital in making the trip memorable.I have recently relocated, with my two children and two dogs, back to the UK to live in the beautiful region of Cornwall. Having spent the last 27 working in the travel and hospitality industry living and working in Greece, whilst spending many of my winters in Australia, becoming a Travel Counsellor has given me the perfect opportunity to use my wealth of knowledge doing what I love here. I grew up as a Captains daughter so travel was really in my blood and have always lived close to the sea wherever I have been. My parents were extensively travelled before we were even born and we grew up with tales of Singapore and the Far East, and the wilderness of the African jungle, with my father living ten years in South Africa. My own love affair with travel started over thirty years ago when I moved to Athens at a young age to start my adventures there. I spent many years travelling the country selecting accommodation for an upmarket specialist and have spent the last 12 years running a country retreat for walkers and lovers of the rural countryside on the island of Crete, and have an instinctive understanding of the needs of the more discerning and independent traveller.I look forward to helping you plan anything from the trip of a lifetime to a quick weekend away and can assist you with every aspect of your trip, as well as adding some amazing diversions to enhance any trip you are planning.Although I have contacts and knowledge of a great many places my expertise lies in Greece, I also have a vast knowledge of Australia having spent nearly 2 years of my life there spread over nearly 20 years.With the flexibility of working outside office hours and always being on the end of the phone, it is like having a personal travel agent in your pocket!

    Hei, Thanks for taking time out to let me outline my and my partner's experience.I learnt my trade working for and with, amongst others, Colin Murison Small who more or less invented the alpine ski 'chalet girl’, Colin Trigger a one time Chairman of ABTA & ATOL, and the legendary Vladimir Raitz who held the country’s first ATOL when in 1949 he sent 21 people to Corsica for £35 a head!! I’ve watched the sun rise over Table Mountain, sink beneath the horizon in the Aegean and stay above it all night in the Svalbard Archipelago. I’ve slept in a mountain hut on the edge of an Icelandic glacier and a staffed villa on a coconut plantation in the Dominican Republic. I've organised family holidays, culture tours, a product launch on an Icelandic glacier, weddings in the sun and snow, sales incentive meetings and more. My partner Anna ( Hyndman Lahna) spent 3 decades working in tour operation, retail travel, repatriation and for Singapore Airlines & South African Airways. What she doesn’t know about airline ticketing isn’t worth knowing. She has equally eclectic experiences to mine having white water rafted on the Zambezi River, trekked by camel across the Gobi desert, flip flopped over the Piranha River Bridge into Paraguay, and trained elves for Father Christmas in Lapland.Together we fuse our collective experience (and experiences) with Travel Counsellors' state of the art technology to plan, polish and perfect your holiday the way you want it to be.

    Hello. I am Christine and I live in Berkshire in the heart of Newbury Racecourse.Some would say I am addicted to travel. I prefer to call it a passion for seeing the world, from as close to home as Cornwall to as far afield as Indonesia. When it comes to arranging my clients holidays, I am just as passionate, and get a real excitement knowing that some of them will be visiting the beautiful places I have been lucky enough to visit myself.I have been travelling the world for 40 years and been to more than 35 destinations. I can offer first hand knowledge and experience of both the East and West coast of America, Hawaii and the Caribbean islands I have stayed at or visited whilst cruising. Asia is somewhere I return to again and again and have been to Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand. I have had the most amazing experiences, visiting an elephant experience followed by the madness that is Bangkok and enjoyed white water rafting and jungle bike rides in Bali.I was also lucky enough to visit Russia way back in 1987 when life was very different. I also have a very good knowledge of Europe. If you are planning a holiday closer to home, I am also on hand to assist you with anything from UK and European weekend or city breaks and if you prefer more of a home-from-home holiday I can arrange luxury Villa holidays across Europe, Florida and the Caribbean.Being a mother of three grown up children and with two very energetic grandchildren, I can also offer personal advice on family holidays. My favourite place for a family holiday is Disneyworld in Florida. I have lasting memories from the first time my children met Mickey Mouse to more recently watching my grandchildren’s faces light up as they saw Cinderella’s Castle for the first time.I want to make your holidays as perfect as mine have been. Using my knowledge and expertise, I can arrange all kinds of trips, breaks, holidays, honeymoons, mini moons, cruises and bespoke holidays. All with the peace of mind that you will be 100% financially protected.I look forward to becoming your Travel Counsellor, providing personal service and arranging all your holiday needs to suit you. Please feel free to get in touch so we can start discussing where your next dream destination will be.Dream, Book, Discover with me; Christine Harvey.

    0208 6636717 Beckenham

    Hello, 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. Call me and let’s talk holidays.

    I’m Claire Young – seasoned travel planner, passionate globetrotter, and the person you want in your corner when only the very best will do.For over 30 years, I’ve been crafting holidays that go far beyond the brochure. From chic weekends in Paris or Florence, to sun-soaked escapes in the Maldives or the Caribbean, to epic journeys across Asia and Australasia – I make it happen. My clients come to me because they want more than just a trip: they want a seamless, tailored experience with every detail handled and every box ticked. And that’s exactly what I deliver.Working with me is like having your own personal travel concierge. I combine insider knowledge, trusted global partnerships, and an instinct for matching people to places that just fit. My job isn’t about transactions – it’s about transformation. Turning a vague idea or half-formed wish into a perfectly polished itinerary that feels completely personal, indulgently effortless, and undeniably memorable.Over the last four years, I’ve taken that philosophy even further by curating a dedicated side of the business: Luxury Romance. This is where I help couples and families celebrate life’s most meaningful moments – honeymoons, destination weddings, anniversaries, and milestone escapes. From barefoot vows on a private beach to once-in-a-lifetime honeymoons or multi-generational celebration trips, I make sure every journey is elegant, elevated, and unforgettable.Luxury travel, for me, isn’t just about five-star hotels or first-class cabins (though I have those covered too). It’s about creating space for connection, for joy, for those rare moments that stay with you forever. That’s what my clients trust me to deliver – and why they come back, time after time, for the next adventure.So, whether you know exactly where you want to go or simply want the kind of trip people will talk about for years, let’s start planning. Warning: a chat with me may cause excessive daydreaming – but once we get going, you’ll be very glad it did.

    My name is Joanna and I am based in the leafy Chilterns in Amersham, Buckinghamshire.I have 30 years of experience in travel and am fortunate to have explored many destinations around the world. I craft unique, personalised trips for clients using my extensive travel knowledge and expertise. Travel enriches our lives in countless ways, whether it be through the discovery of new landscapes and cultures, creating cherished family memories or simply broadening our own horizons. I will make your holiday as carefree as possible, providing support and advice before you travel and throughout your trip.My father was a navigator in the RAF, flew private planes and worked for the Civil Aviation Authority. I flew on private planes before commercial ones and ‘assisted’ the inspection of runways in the Scottish Highlands! I embarked on my first own travel adventure at 18, on a six-month backpacking trip to India, Southeast Asia and Australia. On 30-hour bus rides in India, learning to dive the Great Barrier Reef and trekking in Thailand, I made lifelong friends and wonderful memories.I knew that I would never work in any other industry other than travel. After university, where I spent a term at college in the U.S. and traversed the country by Amtrak, I joined STA Travel working my way from long-haul telesales to a regional sales manager. I led a group trip to China, holidayed in Mexico, Belize and Guatemala, continued my diving adventures in the Caribbean, Fiji and the Cook Islands and fell in love with Sri Lanka. Following maternity leave, I worked for a luxury travel PR & marketing agency, representing prestigious small ships, private islands, five-star resorts and boutique city hotels. I also arranged trips for top travel journalists and influencers. I am married with three children (and a lively Labrador) and love nothing more than planning family holidays, whether it is skiing and summer trips to the Alps, holidays under canvas, beach stays in the Caribbean (St Lucia is a family favourite), a Disneyland Florida family celebration, a multigenerational city break to Berlin and an epic family Odyssey across Italy and France by plane, train and automobile! This year I travelled with my youngest son (aged 12) to Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve, South Africa. It was a joy to see him so engaged and inspired by the incredible conservation and community projects. He learnt more about the exceptional wildlife from his time spent with the outstanding rangers and trackers than from any classroom lesson.I would be delighted to help plan your next travel adventure, whether you are going solo, in a couple or travelling with friends and family. From a ski trip, relaxing beach or cultural/foodie city break, long-haul adventure, spa and wellness holiday to dream honeymoon or cruise, I suggest options to suit your budget that are crafted with care and attention to detail. I’ll put an emphasis on thoughtful, bespoke travel experiences reflecting your interests and preferences. Things you won’t find in standard travel brochures…On the off chance that I have not been to a particular region, I am supported by a team of expert Travel Counsellor colleagues with knowledge of everywhere around the globe.

    Starting my own business and setting up with Travel Counsellors is something that feels so natural, I wonder why I didn’t do it sooner. Having spent my career to date in events and luxury hospitality, I feel so passionately about delivering a personal service to clients to make their lives easier and less stressful. I love everything about travel from a fly and flop holiday to backpacking around the lesser known parts of South East Asia, travel has always been a part of my life and a true passion of mine.To me, the idea of having a Travel Counsellor that you know and trust, is like having a personal assistant to manage any and all aspects of what travel and holidays mean to you. Getting to know clients, understanding their needs and requirements, what makes them tick and learning about what they want from a trip is what makes me love doing what I do. For me, researching a new place or putting together an itinerary for a client doesn’t really feel like work and when I say I can research, I will find out everything there is to know to ensure it really will deliver what you’re looking for. As a working mum to 2 young children, having the flexibility to work when and where I want is also a dream come true. I am available to chat (on the phone or online) whenever it suits you, and where possible, would always suggest a meeting in person so I can really get to know you. In the current day, where life sometimes seems impossibly busy, and the internet, whilst it has it’s many benefits, can also leave us feeling overwhelmed and caught in a rabbit hole, I am here to take away any stress that booking a holiday or a trip away may cause.

    Hi there, I’m Stacey - Travel lover, avid gig-goer, bookworm, parkrunner and gym regular. Kent-born and Milton Keynes-based for over 20 years, I live here with my husband and teenage daughter and have turned a love of travel into a career crafting trips that turn into memories and stories you’ll probably overshare for years to come.Growing up near Dover meant travel was always part of life. School trips were more likely to be to France than London because it was closer, which probably explains a lot. Since then, travel has taken me everywhere from the bright lights of Vegas to getting married in Cyprus, with plenty of trips to Greece, Bulgaria, Türkiye, Spain and city breaks in between.Those experiences influence how I plan every trip as your Travel Counsellor, blending excitement, culture and downtime with the small details that turn a holiday into something memorable. Always personal, always thoughtful, and completely tailored to you.I can help with everything from family holidays and beach escapes to city breaks, cruises, luxury getaways, big celebrations, bucket-list trips and multi-stop adventures. Whether you want action-packed days, total switch-off, or a balance of both, I’ll shape the trip around you.I’m big on the details (I pack two holiday first aid kits for fun, which probably tells you everything you need to know), so nothing is rushed, overlooked or left to chance. The result? A holiday that feels seamless, personal and full of those “this is exactly what we wanted” moments.When you book with me, you get one-to-one support from our very first chat, while you’re away, and beyond. No call centres, no being passed around, just me handling everything and guiding you through your options so nothing feels overwhelming or rushed. I take the time to understand what you want and what you need, not just where you’re going, but how you want it to feel.Thanks to Travel Counsellors, your trip is fully ATOL protected, 100% financially protected and supported 24/7 while you’re away, so you can focus on enjoying the experience, not worrying about the what-ifs.So if you’re looking for someone who cares about your trip as much as you do, sweats the small stuff so you don’t have to, and wants your holiday to be just as good behind the scenes as it looks on Instagram, you’re in the right place.Let’s turn your travel dreams into proper plans...your suitcase will thank you!
