Hi, I'm Suzanne and I'm really happy to be part of the Travel Counsellors 'family' which must be one of the travel trade's best kept secrets. I love my job and have a passion for travel. I have worked in the travel industry on and off for most of my life. My extensive travels have taken me to all corners of the globe so if you want a homestay or Maharajah's palace in India, a guesthouse or sheer luxury in the Maldives, a safari tent or lodge in Tanzania, gorilla encounter in Rwanda or a trek in the mighty Himalayas I can create or find the perfect trip for you and your expectations. I live with my husband and triplet sons in a South Devon village in between Dartmoor and the coast near Totnes. I love the great outdoors and can be found regularly hillwalking on the moors or canoeing on the River Dart. I also volunteer as a Moorland Leader training teenage Scouts to complete the annual Ten Tors challenge on Dartmoor each winter and spring.Being a completely independent travel consultant means I know which of the thousands of suppliers at my fingertips are the very best option for you and your budget in any of the countries you wish to visit. I really care about my customers and in return you know I can be trusted to provide that trip of a lifetime or short weekend break. I can also create bespoke itineraries for round-the-world journeys or if you are thinking about a cruise, business trip, group adventure, villa in the sun, treehouse in Scandinavia to see the Northern Lights - I can create the perfect trip for you.I am available most days and can be flexible with my hours to suit you. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Travel is my passion, and I am so pleased you have taken the time to visit my page.I am Bianca, a travel specialist with over 25 years of experience in the industry. I am self‑employed and run my own small travel business in partnership with Travel Counsellors. Since launching in 2019, I have been lucky enough to build a fantastic base of clients who return to me again and again, and I am proud to have received many 5* reviews that reflect the care I put into every holiday.My own style of travelling has evolved over the years. While I still love a relaxing break, I now tend to seek out more immersive holidays that allow me to really explore countries and their cultures, meeting local people, trying authentic food and experiencing a destination beyond the usual tourist spots. I have explored many European cities and coastlines, discovered Sri Lanka and India, relaxed in the Caribbean and the Indian Ocean, immersed myself in Thailand, enjoyed skiing trips and experienced the ease of cruising. This first‑hand experience helps me recommend the right destinations, hotels and experiences to suit you, whether you want something luxurious, adventurous or simply a well‑deserved escape in the sun.I love creating holidays that feel personal. Trips I have planned include a six‑week tailor‑made journey from Japan to New Zealand via Thailand, a tour of Malaysia, safaris, cultural adventures through Cambodia and Vietnam, family time in Florida and memorable holidays in Australia, New Zealand and across Europe. From simple short breaks to complex multi‑centre itineraries, everything is designed around what you enjoy.How I work as your Personal Travel Counsellor As an independent, self‑employed Personal Travel Counsellor, I offer a friendly, one‑to‑one service backed by the strength and security of a global travel company. I have access to thousands of trusted travel suppliers, with full ATOL protection and Travel Counsellors’ unique financial trust, so you can relax knowing your money is safe.We usually start with a relaxed phone chat, or if you prefer, we can meet for a coffee, so I can get to know you and what you are looking for, where you like to stay, the sort of pace you enjoy, any must‑see places and, of course, your budget. From there, I carefully research options and put together ideas that fit you, rather than offering a standard package. We then tweak and refine things together until the holiday feels just right. If it is not perfect the first time, I will keep looking until it is.Because this is my own small business, every enquiry genuinely matters to me. I work from home, which means I can be flexible and available when you need me. You can reach me by phone, email or messenger, and I am here to support you before you go, while you are away and when you return.My aim is simple, to take the stress out of planning and to create holidays that you look back on with a smile. Whether you are dreaming of a special one‑off trip, a family holiday, a romantic escape or a quick weekend away, I am here to help.When you are ready to start planning your next holiday, please get in touch. I would love to chat about your ideas and turn them into a trip you will truly enjoy.Thank you

Our free time with our loved ones is precious, and we need to get it right.During exam revision at university, I spent every lunch break in the local travel shop, browsing the magazines and dreaming of where I would go when I had finished. I completed my degree, travelled for a year, and qualified as an accountant, working in London. But what started as a way to escape my studies grew into a passion for researching and planning travel. As a result, I took extensive training in the Travel Counsellor Academy, and started my own independent travel business in May 2016.I take time to get to know my clients, their travel dreams and their absolute must-haves. I listen to the details of what works for them and what needs to be avoided. I genuinely care that they have the best holidays possible, and that the planning process is as smooth and as fun as it can be.I can help you with travel plans for all worldwide destinations, and all holiday styles. I have travelled extensively, and with great variety, staying in $4 guesthouses in Phnom Penh, and 5* resorts in St Lucia. In 2016 I returned from four years living in Barbados, so I would consider myself an expert on this location, and the surrounding islands. I love to attend and participate in sporting and musical events as I travel. I’ve golfed in Patagonia, dived with sharks in Saba, partied at Coachella festival, and cheered on the Heat in Miami. Not that you need an excuse, but if you want to travel for a specific interest, I look forward to hearing all about it, and building your holidays accordingly.My hours are flexible and I can discuss your travel requirements at a time that suits you, including weekends and evenings. Location permitting (I am based in Sevenoaks), I am happy to meet you face-to-face, or to communicate by skype, email or phone. It’s your choice; my aim is to make your travel planning as stress-free as possible.Whatever your travel requirements, please get in touch. You’ll be talking to someone who listens, who cares, and who can make it happen.“Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” - Ferris Bueller’s Day Off

I’m a Travel Counsellor who specialises in creating calm, beautifully organised travel for busy women and families. As a mum of two, I understand how precious time is — and how overwhelming it can feel to plan a holiday around real life. My goal is to make travel effortless for you, with every detail taken care of.Before becoming a Travel Counsellor, I worked with British Airways — an experience that gave me a deep understanding of airlines, fares, cabin classes, routes and how to get the best value out of flights. That insider knowledge is now a huge part of the service I offer. It means I can spot smarter options, avoid common pitfalls and tailor journeys that feel smooth from take-off to landing.While family travel is a natural speciality for me, I plan every kind of trip: luxury escapes, adult-only retreats, tailor-made itineraries, group adventures, special celebrations and once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Whatever you’re dreaming of, you’ll have personal support from start to finish, expert guidance, and a seamless journey shaped around what matters most to you.If you want travel that feels easy, organised and completely looked after, I’d love to help you plan your next escape.

In the last year I have visited the beautiful Maldives, Australia's incredible Northern Territory, and amazing Singapore and Bali, plus Hvar in Croatia which is fast becoming one of my favourite countries. Over the years I have also skied in France, Italy and Austria on both family trips, large group trips and short breaks with friends.

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. It makes booking a holiday an exciting job, not a time consuming inconvenience.I would be delighted to hear from you and help to make your dreams become reality.

Welcome to my world of travel! Having been involved in the Travel industry for almost twenty five years in various roles of responsibility, I now have the privilege of creating holidays, short breaks, honeymoons and trips of a lifetime for my much valued clients. I have a lifelong love of luxury worldwide travel, whether it be adventure, exploration, culture, activities ie skiing, cruising or just flying and flopping to soak up those rays! I care about my clients and the experiences which they have on their holidays is so important to me. I believe that my in country knowledge, personal connections and experience in the world of travel give me opportunities to enhance my client's holidays in a way that sets me apart from just any Travel Agent. Originally from Barnsley in Yorkshire, my career in travel began back in 1978 in the airline industry which led me to move around the UK, before eventually settling with my family in the Midlands. However my heart will always be in Yorkshire! Initially working as an Air Stewardess I became involved in Cabin Crew Training & Recruitment for a UK airline, before having a career break to raise our family. I returned to working full time with an African specialist Tour Operator for over two years before moving into Travel Sales in 2012. I love to find new places to explore as well as advise and recommend tried and tested destinations and hotels for my clients, based on their own interests and shared dreams. Call me, message me or send an email, whether it is just advice, recommendations or if you are looking to find the perfect holiday, I am here to help.

Holidays are: making memories, spending time together, having adventures, ticking off bucket lists exploring new environments, discovering exciting new sensations and travelling to places we once couldn't dream of…I understand that your time is precious and I offer a service that focuses on the details of your holiday to get it right for you and your travel companions - whether that be family or friends. With my years of experience in the industry and extensive travel history to places nearby and far-flung, I will add value to your holiday with personal recommendations you can't find by searching the internet.My attention to detail, passion for travel, and friendly, determined approach will ensure a smooth travel booking journey and will take the weight of "planning the perfect holiday" off your shoulders. My ultimate goal is to save you time and send you on a fantastic and memorable holiday. My collaboration with Travel Counsellors allows me the flexibility to access many different suppliers across the industry and offer you financial protection in uncertain times. This gives you peace of mind that you are in great hands, no matter what.On a more personal note, my passion for travel began whilst I was studying photography. During my time at university, I embarked on extended trips across Europe and Indonesia. Initially intent on travel photography, I spent 12 months on a round-the-world journey before realising that a career in travel - sending people on once-in-a-lifetime trips - was the way forward.Camera in hand, I have hiked the Peruvian Inca Trail, volcanoes in New Zealand and Half Dome in Yosemite alongside many other fantastic walks. I have dived the beautiful waters of Sipadan and the Gili Islands, and taken a heli-hiking trip on Mount McKinley in Alaska. I've sipped wine in vineyards from Europe to South Africa to North and South America. In more recent years I have become a Mum to two fantastic and full-of-life little boys who, alongside my husband, are now joining me on some of my travels around the world. This presents both new demands (and challenges) but I hope my passion for travel is passed on to them in the future and that their feet follow their heart as they make their own discoveries.I am based in Chelmsford, Essex and happy to meet up over a coffee to chat through your future holiday plans, or if time is short and a phone call is easier then please do get in touch to arrange a convenient time - I understand the demands of everyday life so I can be flexible and available in the evenings and on weekends, for a time that suits you.

Hello, thanks for taking the time to visit my webpage. Travel and exploring our big wide world has been my great passion since I first put on a backpack in my 20s. Fast forward 30 years and I still love exploring new countries and destinations; I find the different sounds, smells, culture, food and people of a new place fascinating. Travel rarely fails to put a smile on my face and while I fell into the travel industry by chance, I feel grateful and privileged to still be a part of it 25 years later. Sharing the excitement of my clients' trips is nearly as good as getting away myself! I'm lucky to still head overseas at least a few times each year and have been very fortunate to have visited over 40 countries across six continents so far, including extended trips across the USA, Australia and South East Asia. * Australia * New Zealand * Fiji * * USA * Mexico * Belize * Costa Rica * Guatemala * * Cuba * St Lucia * Antigua * Dominican Republic * * Europe * Morocco * Egypt * * Kenya * Uganda * Rwanda * South Africa * Namibia * * Mauritius * Maldives * Sri Lanka * India * * Thailand * Malaysia * Cambodia * Indonesia * * Singapore * Hong Kong * Japan * It’s impossible to pick a favourite, and the list gets longer each year, but some of my more memorable travel experiences are: - Meeting orangutans and watching spectacular bat migrations in Borneo - Watching a family of mountain gorillas and getting a little too close to a silverback in Rwanda - Playing with local children while waiting on a border crossing between Uganda and Rwanda - Waterfalls and paddy fields in Indonesia; eating Nasi Goreng from banana leaves with my fingers - Swimming in the waterholes above and beneath waterfalls in Kakadu NP and Edith Falls in the outback of Northern Australia - Driving at about 5mph to avoid the many rock wallabies hopping onto and across the road at dusk in The Grampians NP, Victoria - The fountains and fireballs at Southbank Casino, Melbourne - Springtime drives in the South Island of New Zealand with tiny newborn lambs in the fields - Incredible snorkelling and beautiful beaches in Fiji and the Maldives - My first taste of octopus, cooked over a fire in a beachside homestay in Fiji - Bright lights and fun fuelled evenings with friends on Hong Kong Island - Hearing the harrowing tsunami recollections of so many Sri Lankan locals just a year after the event - Savouring the perfect truffle risotto in Verona - The ethereal beauty of a wintry Iceland - Stargazing in Australia with shooting stars galore! - Cocktails, jazz and dancing at Frenchmen Street, New OrleansTaking the time to list the memories drives home how very fortunate I've been. Travel for me is all about new experiences and lasting memories, and that's what I endeavour to bring to each trip I help to create for my customers. I've booked all kinds of trips over the years, but nothing beats crafting a bespoke holiday. It's a joy to combine my firsthand knowledge of destinations with fresh research to help create that perfect trip for you. I haven't been everywhere, but with over 2000 Travel Counsellors to consult, there's not much I can't find out. My advice to you: stop trawling the myriad options online and let an expert guide you. I do the hard work so you don't have to! One size never fits all. I’ll ask the right questions to understand fully what makes you tick. Whatever the occasion, whatever the budget, I will ensure we find the right trip for you.Before, during and after booking, I'm on hand to answer your questions and my personal service is always just a phone call away. Everything booked through me has 100% financial protection for your complete peace of mind, and I have the support of Travel Counsellors' 24/7 Duty Office monitoring world events and entry regulations for our peace of mind.

Hi I'm Jenny and I've had a love of travel since my first time abroad age 13, when I was lucky enough to explore Tunisia.I grew up in northwest London but have since lived in Bristol, Kiev, Paris, and Hamburg before settling in Wiltshire.My career in travel began at 17 years old and I became a homeworking travel expert in 2009. I have over 30 years experience as a personal travel advisor and can organise any type of holiday experience tailored to your exact specifications.Discovering new places and different cultures still excites me and I am very fortunate to have visited most of the world, I would never adventure without my kindle and my travel wish list includes sharing breakfast with one of my favourite animals at Giraffe Manor, Nairobi.I genuinely care about every client's booking from start to finish, advising them to embrace the pace of the destination they're in, so they can fully relax and enjoy their time away. After so many years in travel, I believe that I can book any type of holiday but I do enjoy a challenge so please feel free to put me to the test.....

As a Travel Counsellor, I truly care about you and your needs, and I want to turn your dream holiday into a reality. I do what is right by you as my client.Let me tell you a little bit about how I work. I start off by getting to know you to get a clear understanding of what you want from your holiday and the sort of traveller you are. I pride myself on my attention to detail and thoroughness, so I will take the time to talk to you before I then turn my creative hand to designing your dream holiday, hand-picking every element. My objective is to present you with an itinerary that 100% has you in mind, is tailor-made and individual to you and generates those endorphins that booking a holiday gives you. Once you book with me, my service does not end there, and I will be your personal concierge until after you return from your trip. I'm able to arrange airport car parking, a hotel the night before you fly, a luxurious airport lounge and security fast-track, as well as activities and excursions to enhance your holiday experience. If you are looking for something extra special, I can arrange travel by private jet and helicopter travel to arrive in style at your chosen destination.

A personal favourite is Thailand, and I’ve enjoyed stays in Bangkok, Khao Lak, Koh Samui and Koh Phangan, as well as having visited the stunning Similan Islands. I’ve travelled on multi-centre holidays, twin-centre escapes, immersed myself in city breaks, and relaxed on indulgent beach getaways, as well as released my inner child to enjoy exciting theme parks in Florida and Europe.

I love my job. Why? How many people can say that they sell dreams? That they sell the world?Being an independent travel advisor franchisee, but working with a multi award winning global company, I provide a unique travel service, using award-winning technology to tailor make travel plans, both leisure and corporate. From UK breaks to around-the-world personalised itineraries, from honeymoons, weddings and package holidays, to school, skiing and golfing trips: I book them all.

I am a firm believer that everybody, irrespective of ability/disability, should have equal access to the joys of travel. I am also a nominated South Africa and Vancouver Specialist.But how am I different? Unlike many high street travel agents, I am completely independent and have links to 1000s of airlines, cruise lines and hotels globally, all at the click of a button.

No anonymous, uncaring (and expensive) call centres; just me from beginning to end.I take care of every part of your booking, from all pre-travel documentation, administering your APIs, liaising with the hotels and cruise ships directly, prior to your arrival to ensure everything is in tip-top condition for you. I take care of all medical assistance needs and requests; I hand deliver tickets to your door and a few little extras too. (However, I draw the line at packing your suitcase; and yes, I have been asked that question a few times!) Most importantly, I am available 24/7 whilst you are away in resort, should any unforeseen eventualities crop up. You will have a direct dial button to me, via our mobile app on your phone. Tell me again how you book your travel arrangements? Once you’ve experienced Travel Counsellors, you will really wonder why you hadn’t done it sooner. Bon voyage!

I am a Travel Counsellor living in Chalfont St Giles. Chalfont St Giles is a great place to live; a great community, in a lovely area including fantastic Bluebell woods, and great schools. My husband and I have lived in the area for over 20 years and our sons grew up and went to school locally, even though they are grown up one or other or both of them periodically live with us. As someone who loves travel, being close but not too close to all forms of transport, airports, ports, channel tunnel and Central London for the Eurostar and evenings out is an added benefit. I love organising travel and holidays for others. Whether it is a once in a lifetime holiday to New Zealand, a luxury cultural city break for two in Nice, or a big family ski trip (dog and grandparents included) I can organize it, leaving you free to look forward and enjoy your trip. Cruising is one of my specialities and with the number of different cruise lines, destinations and inclusive options available I will be happy to discuss which would be most suitable for your needs. Due to my husband being a very keen sailor, I have organised sailing trips for us to Greece, Turkey, The British Virgin Islands and my favourite, Tobago Cays in St Vincent and the Grenadines in the Caribbean, ( where swimming with turtles and rays was magical). This has given me first hand experience with the logistics of wind powered travel as well as an intimate knowledge of the aforementioned areas.For me being a Travel Counsellor means that I am there for you, and not just during office hours. I will be able to offer you impartial advice and help you find the best travel option to suit your needs as well as exceptional customer service tailored to your requirements. Whether it is a last minute quick getaway somewhere sunny, or a precisely planned trip to Antarctica I will be delighted to find the travel solution to meet your needs. Please contact me to discuss any of your forthcoming travel arrangements.I look forward to hearing from you soon.Best wishes. Annemarie

Hello and welcome to my webpage. My name is Jasmine and I live in Bretby, Burton Upon Trent with my two children and husband who I met while working as holiday reps at a campsite just outside of Paris.Since an early age, travel has always been an important part of my life. I was born in Darwin, Australia and then moved to the UK as a child. Family holidays spent in Australia or Europe, camping in the Australian outback and adventure trips to Iceland helped to form a life long love of adventure.After studying for a BA in Travel and Tourism in Edinburgh, I took a year out, travelling extensively in Asia, Indonesia, Australia and New Zealand. When I returned to the UK, I joined an award winning international travel company and spent 10 years as a travel consultant creating tailor made holidays. From getting engaged in a canoe on Halong Bay to nearly falling out of my bunk on the Trans-Siberian railway, I have unique travel knowledge that enables me to create, find and book your dream trip. These experiences, coupled with a commitment to understanding your wishes and expectations, help me tailor individual packages which will hopefully create memories that last a lifetime. As a travel counsellor, any holiday is possible, from bespoke UK breaks to orangutan safaris in Borneo, I have the resources to book any type of itinerary. With over a decade of industry experience, a keen interest in unusual destinations, multi stop trips and, most recently, family holidays with two young children, my aim is to remove the stress from booking your holiday.I work from home and am available at times which can suit you. We can consult by telephone, email or even face to face while enjoying a slice of homemade cake. As part of the multi award winning company Travel Counsellors, your money is guaranteed with our financial trust fund and ATOL protection.Thank you for taking the time to visit my page and I look forward to helping you in the near future.

My career includes working with renowned brands like Edwardian, Westin, and Marriott, representing other iconic properties like the Waldorf Towers and Plaza Hotel in New York, and playing a key role in opening the Jordan Tourist Board office in London.Seeking a better work/life balance and a more personal connection with my clients, I transitioned into becoming a travel advisor.

Suffice to say, my most memorable trip has to be South Georgia and Antarctica, for the sheer remoteness and untouched beauty, as well as the opportunity to get close to the wildlife. Closer to home, I’ve visited the USA and Canada many times and love exploring the open road on a fly drive trip, taking in as many National Parks as possible. I also frequently visit Asia, often en-route to Australia, and enjoyed experiencing the different cultures in Myanmar and Thailand; and a fly drive in South Africa left me wanting to see more of this vast country.

My personal favourites have to be Santorini for the dramatic scenery and stunning blue domes, Mykonos with its windmills and sugar cube houses (plus Shirley Valentine moments!), Mexico for its excitement, culture and beaches, Africa for its amazing wildlife and friendly people and Gran Canaria for its year-round sunshine. However you can’t beat a cruise to experience a variety of exciting destinations all in one trip!As your Travel Counsellor I have access not only to brochured holidays but a huge range of additional specialist suppliers, far greater than can be found on the High St, that will help to build your perfect experience.

Hello, I'm your personal Travel Counsellor. I live in Mortimer near Reading I caught the travel bug many years ago. My first real trip outside of the UK was a train journey from my home town of Glasgow to Germany at the age of 16 on a 3-month visa. I travelled throughout what was known then as West Germany. I loved every moment. I enjoyed the food, practicing the language and generally just taking in what Germany had to offer. I have since been lucky enough to have travelled and lived in many European destinations. I have enjoyed worldwide holidays to lots of destinations and have travelled within the USA to places such as Hawaii, Utah, New York, Florida and Cuba to name but a few. I arranged my own wedding in Las Vegas followed by our honeymoon in California. I have been fortunate to have visited Egypt several times and have witnessed many changes throughout the years. I have had ridden on the back of an elephant in India and visited the wonderful city of Petra, a sight to behold. We have a bucket list for our round trip of Australia that included Christmas day on sunny beach Queensland in 2016, crossing Sydney Harbour Bridge in the summer 2017 and watching dolphins as the sun went down on Fraser Island. We continue our journey in Melbourne 2019. I have been on many more holidays such as cruises, family trips and girl’s weekend’s home and away. I would be more than happy to share any of my experiences with you. Combining all of the above along with my travel knowledge and the backing of Travel Counsellors this is proving to be a winning formula. I am able to offer you advice and recommendations on all types of holidays across the globe. As a home-based Travel Counsellor I have the time and flexibility to provide you with a comprehensive and personal service.

Let me look after all your travel needs be it families, couples, solo travellers, long or short haul, leisure or business, bespoke tours or beach breaks I'm here for you.

My name is Vicky D’Arcy, I live in Swanland, East Yorkshire with my husband and two teenage boys.I have a wealth of experience in service industries, starting in the travel industry in 1991 on the high street as a travel agent, selling holidays. I progressed to Branch Manager and Area Sales Manager across Humberside (as it was then!). In that time I was lucky enough to experience Caribbean cruises, USA breaks, safaris, city breaks and skiing holidays. We moved to Australia and lived there for 9 years, so I have good ‘down under’ knowledge including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Cairns and have travelled in the Far East. I will never forget amazing experiences like diving on the Great Barrier Reef, climbing the Sydney harbour bridge, sinking my toes into the sand on Bondi beach or even Toad racing in far north Queensland! I have been back in the UK 17 years now and have visited many popular European destinations with the Greek, Italian and Balearic Islands real favourites! I have also been to the United Arab Emirates enjoying a long weekend in the sun in Abu Dhabi, visited New York, Boston and then Mexico to experience the 'all-inclusive' resorts. This year I have been to some new destinations for me, Ikos Andalusia in Spain, Funchal in Madeira and then I have just been on a 7-Night Amalfi & Dalmation cruise getting to see Amalfi Coast, Montenegro and Croatia. I am lucky to be doing what I love, researching and booking your holidays, flights and adventures! I understand that every trip is unique and I have the flexibility to plan and book every little detail to suit you. I also have access to a world-wide network of travel counsellors across the globe to help me find the perfect solution for your travel plans. Using me as your personal travel professional ensures all your arrangements are in safe hands.So whether you are thinking of your beach and sunshine family holiday, city break, round the world, once in a lifetime trip, cruise or skiing holiday, I will certainly be able to help.I know how busy life is and give you the flexibility to either speak, message or email me at a time to suit you so that you don’t have to leave your office or home to book your next trip.I look forward to hearing from you Vicky

If you fell in love with the beauty of Brazil and the stunning scenery of South America while watching the BBC’s Race Across The World…then I could be the perfect Travel Counsellor for you! I grew up to the rhythm of the Samba beat, have been on the best beaches in Rio like The Girl From Ipanema, and have actually sipped cocktails on the roof terrace of The Hotel Unique in São Paulo where the TV celebrity contestants reached one of their destinations. I may come from Brazil, but South America is my passion. Only last year I planned my own solo two-week trip to the wonders of Machu Picchu in Peru. Now, I would love to organise an amazing adventure for you…and unlike the TV stars, I promise not to send you on 21-hour overnight coach trips! Travel and exploration have been in my blood since I left my home and came to the bright lights of London nearly 30 years ago. These days I am happy living in the rolling Chiltern Hills, high above High Wycombe in Bucks, with my three children. But if I am a country girl at heart, I also have a penchant for City breaks across Europe, or once in a lifetime family trips off the beaten track, like sleeping on a river boat in Vietnam. My idea of travel is to indulge in all the senses. Local food and cookery courses; fashion shows, shopping and spas, and of course the history and culture of the people we meet along the way. Studying maps, scanning brochures, and scrolling through endless hotel apps only gets you so far. Having a Travel Counsellor expert on hand, with hot tips on where’s good to go and – just as importantly – where to avoid, can make all the difference. My business background is long and varied, from retail to restaurants, to teaching and healthcare. I have been my own boss and worked in a team, but when I look back the common thread has been dealing with people and delivering the best service, tailor-made to each individual requirement.

I've always been the "go-to travel person" in my circle - the one people message at 10pm asking "What's the weather like here?" or "Can you check my itinerary?" After working in travel before and planning more holidays than I can count, turning that passion into something I get to do every day just made sense. Travel has always been a huge part of my life. I genuinely believe it's one of the best things you can do for your mental health - whether that's switching off on a beach. exploring somewhere new, or finding a place that makes you feel a bit more like yourself again. That feeling is exactly why I love what I do. Seeing someone return home relaxed, refreshed and full of memories, knowing I played a small part in it, is something I'll never get tired of. I'm a solo traveller at heart and have explored Europe, Thailand and Canada. My next bucket list trip is Antarctica next year, which I'm super excited about. Greece, though, is the place that has my whole heart - and where I hope to live one day with my Golden Retriever, Digby. Speaking of Digby...he's officially my Head of Marketing and Chief Happiness Officer. He specialises in morale boosting, attention-seeking, and reminding me when it's time for a holiday. He also keeps me well-trained in finding the best dog-friendly spots - we're planning a trip to France after Christmas so if you're wanting to travel with your pet, you're in very capable hands. My approach is simple: no pressure, just honest advice and thoughtful, tailored travel planning. I take the time to understand what matters to you and make sure every detail feels 100% perfect. Wherever you're dreaming of next, I'm here to help you get there - stress-free, excited, and ready to make those unforgettable memories.

More recently these have included unforgettable safari’s in South Africa and Namibia, a fantastic Alaska cruise combined with land stays in Vancouver & Vancouver Island, a true ‘bucket-list’ tour of both the South and North Islands of New Zealand, an exciting Iceland short break adventure and a ‘significant birthday’ trip to Mauritius.
