Why Book with Me — Nikki Ashe, Your Personal Travel Counsellor Because your travel deserves to be personal, seamless, and unforgettable.Hi, I’m Nikki Ashe—based in Newark, Nottinghamshire—and I believe travel should feel like a joy, not a chore. Whether you’re planning a weekend escape, a romantic getaway, or a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, I’m here to make the experience effortless, exciting, and completely tailored to you.Travel isn’t just my profession—it’s my passion. I’ve explored extensively across Europe, fallen in love with the Greek islands (Corfu and Zakynthos are forever favourites), soaked up the energy of New York and San Francisco, road-tripped through Canada’s Rockies, travelled the Garden Route and gone on safari in South Africa. Most recently, I spent time in Australia, a trip that reminded me why I do what I do: because travel, when thoughtfully planned, becomes something truly unforgettable. From the coastal charm of Queensland to the vibrant streets of Sydney, Australia was a blend of inspiration and connection. I planned it with the same care I give my clients—every detail considered, every moment meaningful. That’s the kind of experience I want for you.What Makes My Service Different? In a world of comparison sites and automated booking tools, I offer something refreshingly human: a travel experience that’s personal, thoughtful, and completely stress-free.Here’s what sets me apart: - Tailored Travel That Reflects You I take the time to understand your preferences, your pace, and your dreams. Whether it’s a boutique hotel, a scenic rail journey, or a luxury villa, I’ll curate every detail to suit your style. - Support That’s Always There I’m not bound by office hours—I’m here when you need me. Whether it’s a last-minute change or a quick check-in, I’m just a message away. - Stress-Free Planning from Start to Finish I handle everything—from research and bookings to printing and posting your travel documents. You just pack your bags and go. - Financial Protection You Can Trust Every trip booked through me is protected by Travel Counsellors’ unique financial trust system. That means your money is safe, your plans are secure, and you can book with total confidence. - Access to Thousands of Trusted Suppliers From luxury lodges and villas to ferries, trains, airport lounges, and tailor-made experiences—I’ve got the network to make it happen.That’s what I aim for: travel that feels effortless, exciting, and emotionally resonant. With Me, It’s Personal I love what I do. I love the stories, the connections, the joy of helping someone discover a new place or return to a beloved one. I’m here to take the stress out of planning and put the magic back into travel. So if you’re ready to travel with confidence, care, and a little extra sparkle, let’s chat. I’d love to help you plan something unforgettable.

Just imagine the horror on my Mum’s face when, at the innocent age of 7, I announced to all and sundry that “I want to be a new age traveller”. Shortly followed by the proclamation that actually, “I don’t care as long as I can just travel anywhere I like!”Who would have known that over 30 years later I would have travelled around the world twice, visited over 80 countries, spent three summer’s teaching sailing and water sports abroad and forged a career in marketing and accountancy. After volunteering in a South African township for six months, I made the biggest decision of my life so far - to transform my life of travel into a productive future of inspiring, planning and creating holidays and breaks away for other people.Having lived in the Stratford upon Avon area and Evesham for most of my life, I have incredible support from friends, family and clients throughout Warwickshire and the neighbouring counties as well as worldwide. Since July 2020, I now have idyllic Keswick to call home and have created a beautiful network of friends up here who share similar passions and interests and definitely keep me fit and active!I love being ‘the one to call’ for advice, top tips and inspiration for all travel requirements – no matter what type of trip it is! I am a member of local sports clubs and have built foundations as a trusted advisor and partner for my peers not only for their personal holidays but their business travel as well.Whether you are considering a leisure break; a long weekend in London, honeymoon to Mauritius, family safari to Africa – or just know that you want to plan a getaway; I will support you all the way to make sure every last detail of your holiday is perfect. In fact, I will likely end up knowing more about your preferences than you do yourself!If you're looking for advice and an agency partner for your business travel, my services are second to none, and your hassles and stresses from this will vanish immediately. I will source hotels, flights and conference centres as required at highly competitive prices, all management information can be discussed and sent as regularly as required.My passion is travel and I would love to share my knowledge and expertise with you – so please follow me on my social media channels and give me a call / send an email so we can begin planning your next journey.

My name is Fiona and I live near the lovely town of Holywood on the County Down coast.Thank you so much for visiting my website and here is a little bit about myself!My great love of travel started at the early age of 5 when my Dad used to take me to watch the planes taking-off and landing at Dulles Airport in Washington DC. I can also remember a game we played whereby he would ask me to name the capital city of various countries and I just got hours of amusement from this.After completing my degree in French at the Queens University of Belfast, I took a year out during which I spent 4 months in the beautiful city of Vancouver with my aunt and uncle. It was just an amazing time and, after that, I finally made my mind up that I wanted to start my working career in the travel industry.I now have over 30 years of experience in mainly business travel and it really is hard to believe where the time has gone! I started in the travel agency environment before I moved into the IT industry nearly 18 years ago where my expertise was, for the most part, used to manage corporate travel programs. I guess, therefore, that I can say I’ve worked on both sides of the fence so have an excellent understanding of the needs of both the client and the supplier.The company which I most recently worked for has 5 core values: integrity, passion, innovation, humility and transparency and I genuinely believe that I live my life in accordance with these values. They are of a great help to me in my workplace and personal life.I am absolutely delighted to now be at the stage in my career of running my own business and helping corporates to manage their travel programs. That said, I’m passionate about all aspects of travel and, in the knowledge that personal holidays are so important to us all, I would be more than happy to look after these too. I have travelled widely on long haul trips as well as weekend breaks and longer holidays within Europe.I pride myself in offering a personal, cost-effective and time-saving service. My working hours are flexible and I research each and every trip thoroughly to ensure best value, suitability and convenience are obtained. The term “that’ll do” just does not come into my vocabulary.I do hope that my service may be of interest to you. I really would appreciate the opportunity to work with you with the aim of creating that “perfect trip” over and over again!Best Wishes, Fiona

Hello and a big thank you for taking the time to visit my webpage, I love to travel and by visiting this webpage hopefully you do too! I am a highly experienced travel agent based in Macclesfield, Cheshire, with global destinations at my fingertips.I trust you will find the below introduction helpful and that I can inspire you to pick up the phone or drop me a line for a chat about where in the world next awaits you.My passion for travel really took off when I booked a round the world flight ticket in 1997. I largely lived, worked and travelled in Australia, also taking in Fiji and Hawaii on the way home. I have always loved adventure and this opened a whole new world of excitement, experiences and many life-long friends.Ever since, I have been fortunate to travel to many worldwide destinations and experience some magical places. From mountaineering and jungle trekking in Borneo, cruising the Egyptian Nile and riding donkeys to the Valley of the Kings, snowboarding and husky sledding in Canada, scuba diving with sharks in Fiji, hang gliding in Brazil, safaris in Kenya, honeymooning in Zanzibar, crayfish parties in Sweden, to road trips across the USA taking in some of the most breath-taking scenery imaginable.One of my favourite memories is proposing to my wife whilst scuba diving in Tobago, using an underwater slate and a makeshift ring. Thankfully she ticked the ‘Yes’ box and we returned to the surface to cheers from our fellow dive buddies. As of 2018 there are 195 countries in the world and I find it amazing that whilst I feel well travelled, I know I have only really scratched the surface (and occasionally gone underneath when diving!) To fuel my passion for travel, I worked for seven years for two bespoke travel companies, immersing myself further into new destinations, sharing my knowledge and experience and what it can do for the human spirit. I am highly experienced helping business and leisure travellers, designing bespoke trips whilst offering an exceptional level of care and service, whatever your travel requirements and aspirations, big or small. I am available 24/7, before, during and after your trip, to help and assist with recommendations and solving those unforeseen hiccups.In a world of computers, robots and technology, there is still nothing like a personal touch. Let me help take you on your next journey and make it an even more memorable experience.

As your personal Travel Counsellor I can use our award winning technology and my expertise to tailor the right holiday to suit your individual needs, whether it’s a fortnight in the sun, a city break or an African adventure. Often this means I can build you a bespoke holiday and save you money!Many people are still not aware that most high street agents are only able to sell a limited number of tour operators. Here at Travel Counsellors we are completely independent and this enables me to really offer you the best choices while benefiting from the buying power of being part of such a large company.I know that not everyone is free to discuss their travel arrangements during working hours. You will be able to contact me at a time convenient to you, when most other travel agencies are unavailable including evenings and weekends.Taking care of even the smallest detail is what makes our service so unique. All clients will benefit from a personal, professional service from the comfort of their own home.

Travel. Tailored by a human. Enjoyed by you. I work full-time planning travel. Let’s make sure you don’t have to. 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. Booking with Travel Counsellors is not like booking with a regular travel agent - online or on the high street. Think of us more as your bank manager but for Travel, and obviously a lot more fun. Ensuring that you invest wisely, get the best value and maximise your time away. You always get to speak to a human – be that me or our wonderful support teams. 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. So whether it’s a multi-centre holiday, a trip with friends, a romantic trip for two, a honeymoon, a surprise birthday, a trip to celebrate retirement, an around-the-world adventure and anything and everything in between – I have the expertise to create your perfect trip, every time.EXPERT TIP: To get the most out of my service and expertise, and to save you lots of time in the long run, it is more effective and efficient to talk through requirements, rather than briefing solely by email. 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!

Whether you’re after a weekend city break, an action-packed adventure, a luxury escape, or a bespoke multi-stop itinerary around the world, I focus on attention to detail and a truly personalised service; creating unique, memorable experiences just for you.Travel has always been a huge part of who I am. My passion for seeing the world started early. I still remember the excitement of my school trip to Russia! That sense of curiosity and adventure never left me and by my twenties I decided to take the plunge and backpack solo around the world for 16 incredible months. From bustling cities and remote mountain villages to quiet beaches where time seemed to stand still. Every moment taught me something new about cultures, people and myself. Those experiences changed the way I see travel. That it's not just about ticking off destinations but the stories you collect along the way, the people you meet, the food you try and the memories that say with you long after you've unpacked your bags. Now, as a mum of three, I've loved sharing that same spirit of adventure with my family with extended trips to Australia, New Zealand and South East Asia; creating memories that will last a lifetime. Seeing the world through their eyes has been magical and it's reminded me how travel can bring families closer together with the shared experience. Over the years, one thing I've discovered about myself is how much I enjoy the planning side of the trip. I love diving into the details, researching the best routes, finding those hidden gems and putting itineraries together that flow seamlessly. For me, half the joy is in making sure everything is thoughtfully organised so that when you travel, you can relax knowing that nothing has been left to chance. As your Travel Counsellor, my goal is to make your journey as effortless and inspiring as possible. I’ll take care of the details, so all you need to do is focus on making memories that will stay with you for years to come.

Disney, long haul, luxury and budget escapes- I have travelled far and wide and some of my favourite destinations are Switzerland, Thailand, Caribbean, Bermuda, Florida, Ibiza , Skiathos and closer to home-Cornwall. When I'm not travelling, I love to spend time walking my energetic Boxer dog, cycling, fitness, visiting thrilling theme parks and socialising with family and friends. I like to ski, Bridget Jones style!

I can then create a bespoke itinerary unique to you and your visions - one that lets you unwind, explore, and enjoy authentic encounters tailored to exceed every expectation. I am self- reliant, thoughtful and motivated with a genuine passion for travel and getting everything just right. I love researching and planning as much as I love travelling myself. Some of my favourite visited places are : Vietnam I travelled from North to South. and Bali I had 3 weeks travelling round with a visit to Lombok Island just off of Bali.At Travel Counsellors, we have thousands of suppliers to choose from.

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.

Hi, I’m Cara - your personal Travel Counsellor based in Nelson, Lancashire.My role is simple: to take away the stress (and hours!) of trawling the internet or queuing at the travel agents. Instead, I’ll create a holiday designed just for you, with the kind of personalised service you won’t find on the High Street. With me, you’ll always be in safe hands.I’m what’s known in Thailand as a Luk Krueng (half Thai). Growing up in a working-class town in England, in the mid-80s, my background was often seen as a little unusual. But for me, hopping on a plane to my mother’s wooden stilt family home deep in the Thai jungle was simply part of childhood. Those early adventures gave me a passion for travel that’s been with me ever since.That passion goes beyond my own suitcase - I love creating experiences for my clients that are so vivid, I can picture myself there with you. (Don’t worry, I promise I won’t sneak onto your flight or turn up at your hotel pool with a lilo in hand!) But I will be here if you need anything while you’re away, and I’ll be excited to hear all about your highlights when you return.Since my first trip to Thailand in 1987 (which even made the local headlines!), I’ve been back more than 30 times, and even spent four years teaching English there. My travels have taken me across Asia and beyond - from venturing up Mount Fuji in Japan, to exploring the awe-inspiring temples of Angkor in Cambodia, to discovering the beautiful islands of the Philippines.Other unforgettable memories include sleeping under the stars in the Dubai desert, cruising through Alaska (with a close-up grizzly bear encounter!), road-tripping across the Canadian Rockies, snowmobiling along the glaciers in Iceland, and gazing at the Milky Way under the South African sky during our safari game drive. Each one has given me memories I’ll never forget.Along the way, I’ve gained first-hand experience with airlines like Qatar Airways, Singapore Airlines, and Emirates - across both Economy and Business Class. I’ve also stayed in some incredible hotels, including the world-famous 7-star Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi.And because I know life doesn’t just happen between 9–5, I’m available evenings and weekends too. Whether by email or phone, we can chat however feels most comfortable for you.Looking forward to having a good natter and helping you plan your next adventure!

My role involved working with both professionals and students to ensure excellent customer service, their requirements were fulfilled and they had a successful trip or stay with us. This has given me a very good insight into what people are looking for when they travel and when they arrive. I have worked with a variety of different travel providers and the relationships I have built within the industry have put me in a good position to help you with any or all of your business or leisure requirements.As a Travel Counsellor, I am here to deliver a tailor-made service to you to make sure you get exactly what you are looking for from your travel arrangements.

I am a Travel Counsellor, and after a life of living in many towns and countries, I now live in a small West Yorkshire village located between Pontefract and Wakefield. When time and weather allow, I enjoy a ride-out on my motorbike through the beautiful Yorkshire Dales.My passion for travel stems from my work which has always had a significant travel element, and I have lived in Europe, Scandinavia and Hong Kong with shorter stays stretching all the way from Canada, through the Balkans to the Middle East. A regular and enjoyable feature of my life has always been helping friends and family organise their travel, and now I am building a travel business doing the very thing that I am passionate about, travelling.I chose to join Travel Counsellors because of their ethos of personal service and the genuine care that is taken in arranging all aspects of our clients individual travel arrangements.

When problems do happen you can be confident that you will deal directly with me, your personal Travel Counsellor.With a passion for food, culture and architecture, I enjoy discovering some of the less well known destinations, whether by plane, train, hire car or motorbike.

Hi, My name is Jackie Cook; I now live in Northamptonshire but have lived all over the UK and spent 8 years in France. I am married with one son who recently got married.I have worked in the travel industry for nearly 50 years. I have gained experience in different areas of the industry and have been very fortunate to have travelled extensively during that time. Living in France from the age of 12 gave me an opportunity which only later did I appreciate. I speak fluent French and started my interest in working in the travel industry. I joined Seaspeed Hovercarfts in Dover when I was 18 which then became Hoverspeed and this is where I met my husband who is from Dover. The summers were great down at the Hoverport but not so much in the winter!My next positions really became as I followed my husband with his job moves so in 1984 we moved to Peterborough and I joined Thomas Cook. Their training then was fabulous and soon became a travel agent for the first time. We then moved to Leicestershire and like my husband we joined Page and Moy where I stayed for 11 years until I moved to Travel Counsellors in March 2000My favourite European city has always been Paris, and some recent holidays have been spent cruising on a canal boat in different parts of France. Ask me more about that; it’s a wonderful way to relax and meet the locals. We do also love the Greek islands and have visited many over the years. This year was Crete for the first time but we need to go again as it is a large island and we only saw a small part of it.I have been fortunate in that the companies I have worked for have seen a benefit in allowing me to travel for educational purposes to countries I would never have expected to visit. These include Peru and the magical Machu Picchu, South Africa and Kenya on exciting safaris, the Caribbean, cruising (on ships as well as canal boats!), Thailand and Malaysia and many more. They even tried to teach me to dive in the Great Barrier Reef. (I did not pass but at least I completed the course!). The latest trip was to New Orleans, what an exciting city that is. If I have not visited a destination you may be interested in, the Travel Counsellors message board will allow me to find out the answers to your questions. Someone will know.When you call my number, it will be me who answers; this allows me to build up a rapport with my clients, who then return to me year after year for their holiday arrangements.We have a 24 hour duty office who are there at the end of a phone line when there is a hurricane , a cancelled flight, companies going bust at the last minute, helping us with clients who become ill or need to get home quickly. This is such a benefit to have when something goes wrong, but also they keep us updated with latest visa and health requirements. Please give me a try and I promise you will not be disappointed. I will offer to you the best possible professional service you could hope to receive. I look forward to hearing from you,Jackie

The industry has changed dramatically throughout my career, but I still love it just the same; I can’t imagine doing anything else!I have been lucky enough to travel extensively during my time as a travel consultant and honestly believe that travel really does broaden the mind. Most recently I have worked as a Caribbean, Maldives and Sri Lanka specialist, and have won awards and recognition throughout my career for my knowledge and commitment to my clients and their needs.

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.

Welcome to my page. Let me tell you a little bit about me...As a Travel Counsellor I'm passionate about travel, and working hand in hand with my clients I can tailor the perfect holiday around you – whether it be a family holiday, a bucket list trip of a lifetime wedding abroad, city break, or even a UK staycation. I just love anything out of the ordinary, and will always take on a challenge. I can also book packages with the major tour operator brands such as Jet 2. I've worked in the travel industry for over 20 years ago, starting with Thomson Holidays (now Tui) and then the good old days of teletext holidays …how things have changed! I spent 15 years as an event and wedding planner working at some of the most prestigious hotels and venues, including Weston Park in Shropshire. I have arranged over 1000 weddings and lost count of the number of private parties, corporate events and activity days. I returned to travel in 2012 specialising in weddings abroad and luxury travel, and then started my travel business with Travel Counsellors at the end of 2019. There were so many reasons why I chose Travel Counsellors as my business partner. Spanning over 25 years they are a multi-award winning company with offices worldwide and support which is second to none. Their ‘with us it's personal‘ promise struck a chord with me too. My clients are my business and I treat every booking or enquiry as if it were my own. I look after your booking right to the very end. If you need to make a change to your itinerary, or add on excursions whilst you are on holiday, I can do that for you - a true travel concierge service. I relax knowing that you have arrived safely at your destination, and then again when you arrive back home. I work from home so there are no call centres to deal with. This also means that I’m available to discuss your plans at a time to suit you including evenings and weekends. I’m based in Staffordshire but have clients all around the UK. If you are close by we can meet for a chat over a coffee or glass of fizz…and for those further away then calls, emails and face to face via zoom etc is just fine.... whatever works best for you! I have access to thousands of trusted travel providers at my fingertips and as a company we continue to increase the direct contracts we have with hotels and specialist suppliers around the world. This means that I can personally tailor your plans knowing that I am working directly with the local suppliers, and ensuring that I'm securing the most competitive rates for you. Travel Counsellors offer the best financial protection in the industry and whilst you are on holiday we also have a 24 hours Duty Office to assist with difficulties out of hours, so you are always in contact with a person. For piece of mind your holiday is also fully protected financially through ATOL. So now you know who I am, I look forward to hearing from you and sending you off on your next adventure....wherever it may be

Travel is my absolute passion and I take pride in not just going the extra mile but exceeding all expectations for my clients and creating them the perfect itinerary to suit their needs. I have been fortunate enough to have visited some truly wonderful places around the world, including Florida, Mexico, Cyprus, Greece, Spain, Dominican Republic, Budapest, Belgium, Holland and many more.... I have been lucky enough to tick Canada & cruising off my wish list, first with a trip to Toronto and the very stunning Niagara Falls, which I would highly recommend. Secondly, a fantastic Norwegian Fjords cruise on the Disney Dream and it really was a dream come true. My absolute favourite place to be is Florida, well Orlando to be more exact, to me Orlando is so much more than the theme parks, when I am there, it feels like home. I have also travelled a little further on to Tampa and Clearwater but would really love to head over to the Florida Keys at some point to.Having worked in travel for more than 25 years, I have extensive experience in arranging package holidays including Walt Disney World, Disneyland Paris, Lakes & Mountains, city breaks such as New York, Paris, Belgium, Amsterdam. Being an independent Travel Counsellor means that I am able to offer and abundance of travel options from long haul to short haul destinations worldwide, cruise, accommodation, car rental and attraction tickets, whilst providing you with a personal, yet professional booking experience from start to finish. You will also have complete assurance that every element of your holiday is 100% financially protected through our independent financial trust and ATOL.I have a whole load of destinations that I still wish to visit and explore such as India, more Canada, Thailand, and my dream is to take a helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon, one day soon, I hope. So, when you're thinking of planning your next trip, I would love to help you turn your dream holiday into a reality, I'd really love to hear from you ~ Dalai Lama: "Once a year, go someplace you've never been before"I look forward to speaking to you very soon Kerry x

Welcome - it's lovely to have you here!I'm Ruth and I offer a truly personalised travel service. I craft amazing adventures and epic experiences creating moments that truly matter for you and your family! First a little about me. I’m married to Roland and have 3 fabulous lads Jake, Mac and Gus and a wee white Pomeranian called Martha. I’d travelled a fair bit as a child including living and going to school in Saudi Arabia. But it was during my student days on a trip to Australia and Indonesia when my passion for travel was well and truly ignited. I remember then (over 30 years ago) keeping a travel journal and writing about my experiences; from diving in the Whitsundays on the Great Barrier Reef to camping on Fraser Island and ambling through the rice terraces of Bali. It's fair to say I am a travel addict! If I’m not actually travelling (I have over 30 years experience of booking my own travel), then I’m usually talking about it (love recommending locations to others), writing about it (you will see some of my blogs on this page) or planning my next adventure. I’m blessed to have seen a lot of the world already - no fewer than 50 countries - some visited many times over. This means I know what makes a fantastic trip. Having spent over half my life as a government lawyer I am also a stickler for detail which means your holiday will be planned and booked to perfection with nothing left to chance.So why would you book your next escape with me?

Hi, my name is Damian Flower, based in Hook Hampshire, where I have lived for the past 14 years raising my 2 sons, now 25 & 21, with my wife Karen. Having been in the Travel Industry for over 35 years, and working initially in retail holiday travel, I moved briefly to Tour Operation, but I have spent most of my career working and leading teams in corporate travel. I have managed a large variety of clients in the Media, Apparel & Investment Banking sectors. In 2008 I was able to combine my passions for travel & motorsport, becoming the Travel Operations Manager at McLaren Racing based in Woking Surrey. Having married Karen who shares the same travel bug, we have been fortunate enough to travel extensively all around the world, but feel the Maldives for our Silver Wedding Anniversary was a favourite. Having worked in F1 attention to detail and 24/7 accessibility is my bread & butter, so being able to offer this on a personal level for you will be my pleasure as well as my job. I believe that “Life should not be measured by just the number of breaths we take, but the number of breaths taken away” So, I look forward to hearing from you soon, for all, and every aspect of your Corporate & Leisure travel.

I was born in Gibraltar and spent my childhood in Germany, before moving back to the UK.

The highlight of these has to be my honeymoon which was spent in Thailand – 2 nights in the hustle and bustle of Bangkok, followed by 12 nights in the glorious sunshine on Koh Samui.I believe in taking the time to get to know you and what you are looking to get out of your holiday, be it a city break, cruise, luxury beach escape, family holiday or flight only, and create something completely bespoke to you.

Hi everyone, I’m Hannah!Travel obsessed, dog mad, lover of good food and even better customer service. I live in Worcestershire with my wonderful boyfriend Sean and my utterly adorable black Lab, Ollie. I’m a BIG family person, and when I’m not planning my next adventure or helping others book theirs, you’ll find me hosting dinners, organising birthdays, or catching up with friends - usually with a coffee in hand and a spreadsheet not far away.I’ve always been the “planner” in my group - the one who sorts the holidays, books the best spots, remembers everyone’s dietary needs, and makes sure we don’t miss a thing. So, it felt completely natural to turn that passion (and slight obsession with organisation) into my career. As an independent travel agent, I get to combine my love for travel with my love for people - what could be better?I like to think of myself as your personal travel PA... I’m here to take the stress out of planning, tailor every detail to you, and make sure your trip is nothing short of magical. I’m not just clicking ‘book’ on a flight, I’m curating experiences, finding those hidden gems, and adding thoughtful little extras that make all the difference. Whether it’s a big family holiday, a romantic escape, or a solo adventure, I’ll craft something truly special.The best part? You’ve got 100% financial protection and my full support from start to finish. No call centres or being passed from person to person - it’s just me, genuinely caring about your holiday as if it were my own. And if something doesn’t go to plan (sometimes life happens), I’ll be right there sorting it out.So, let’s get planning. You make the memories and I’ll handle the rest.Hannah x

It's Nice To Meet You Hello! I’m John. I have been a Travel Counsellor for over 5 years now. In that time, I have built a wealth of knowledge and experience about the travel industry that I use daily to help my customers. I love holidays and get a real sense of satisfaction at providing exceptional trips for my customers. WHY USE ME? My customers return to me because I really care about both the customer and customer service. I’m very easy to talk to and discuss ideas with. I pride myself on going above and beyond with every booking, taking the service to the next level. It’s the little things that count; checking you in online, the extra checks to make sure everything is in place for your arrival and that all special requests have been fulfilled and seeing what I can provide for you over and above and beyond your booking. Your holiday is not just another transaction; I am available 24/7 if you need me to sort out any query or request before, during or after travel. WHY TRAVEL COUNSELLORS? With the backing of Travel Counsellors, you are assured of a wider choice of holidays. I am not bound to any operators and I do not have targets which means my only priority is you, the customer, and making sure I find you exactly the right holiday every time. And most importantly, if you book with a Travel Counsellor, all aspects of your holiday are fully protected 100% of the time. And that's guaranteed. Travel Counsellors offer the best financial protection in the industry and it is offered free of charge to all our customers. WHAT HOLIDAYS DO I LIKE? I am asked to book all sorts of holidays and trips, but I am building a reputation for bespoke travel. This goes above and beyond the usual holidays and involves searching out solutions to personally create the right itineraries, travel and accommodation for those wanting to do something a bit different. I love an adventure; over the years I have organised my own wildlife expeditions including seeing the “Big Five” in Kenya, South Africa and Botswana as well as Black Bears in the Canadian Rockies, Orangutans in Borneo and Pandas in China. Still to do are tigers in India and Black Gorillas in Rwanda. I’ll keep you posted… So, if you like the idea of having one dedicated person manage the whole of your booking with the care and attention it deserves, I’d love to hear from you.

I am proud to have owned my Travel Counsellor franchise for 17 years now.Having studied Travel & Toursim at College I have had a varied and extensive career within the industry I love. From P&O, Princess Cruises, Austravel, Australian Affair, Ebookers, Lasminute.com and Quest Travel I have predominately worked in senior management. I have loved the opportunites my roles have given me by allowing me to visit and explore some of the most beautiful destinations, both long and short haul. As the names imply a number of these companies specialised in Tour Operating to Australasia where I was fortunate enough to visit many times each year including hosting numerous journalists taking them to far flung areas of these beautiful destinations. Austravel saw me living in Manhattan whilst running the North American division of Austravel covering 15 locations including one in Canada.Everything I arrange is bespoke. It does not matter if it's a detailed longhaul holiday or a short city break, it is always put together based on my individual customers needs and requirements, nothing is 'off the shelf' as our requirements are as unique as we are as people.Given my industry experience I prefer not work with mainstream Tour Operators. By working directly with our contracted airlines, hotels, specialist suppliers and local operators I know you will be well looked after at every stage of your holiday. Ensuring you have the best experiences throughout is a priority to me. Indeed the covid years have further reinforced my working practises as I have had to cancel and change so many holidays. This has been done with ease as I have been the one in control alongside the relevant service provider making it simple to obtain refunds or to amend. I am also backed up by an amazing 24/7 team .Not exhaustive but I can arrange: City Breaks, River Cruises, Ocean & Adventure Cruises Longhaul, Shorthaul holidays and detailed multi centre or round the world itineraries. Family, couples or singles holidays. Ski, Lapland Weddings, Honeymoons Private planes, helicopters and yachts. ...... Nothing is ImpossiblePlease feel free to call me so that we can chat about your travel requirements and aspirations. For more convenience you can arrange to meet with me, at a mutually agreeable time, at the Hobo Private Members Club Loughton.I look forward to hearing from you and becoming your Personal Travel Counsellor.VickyIF YOU CAN DREAM IT I CAN CREATE IT.

I am a certified Australia and New Zealand specialist, an expert in overland travel in Asia, Africa and South America and I have attended a travel academy in South Africa.My love of travel became a passion when I first took a gap year and travelled via Asia to both Australia and New Zealand. After this I had well and truly caught the travel bug and have now been lucky enough to experience over 60 countries and counting – everywhere from Jordan to the Cook Islands. I’m often asked which destination has been my favourite but it’s too hard to choose so here are my top 5 stand out moments so far: Paragliding over Rio de Janeiro, exploring beautiful walking trails in Canada, snorkelling with tropical fish on coral reefs in the Maldives, hiking on the Fox Glacier in New Zealand, and spotting tigers in Ranthambore National Park, India.

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
