    Nicky Mellusco

    01403 258204 Horsham

    My experience in the travel industry is far-reaching having worked for over 16 years for a leading luxury UK tour operator and prior to that, two years at a successful independent travel agent. My travel highlights have included travelling to Venice on board the Orient Express, swimming with dolphins in Bermuda, sailing the Norwegian fjords, sampling afternoon tea at the Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong, arriving in Monaco by helicopter and marvelling at a performance of Cinderella at the Mariinsky Theatre in St Petersburg. My travel inspiration started from a young age when I lived in the south of France and East Germany for a year as part of my language degree. In later years, I took a sabbatical in South Africa, where I volunteered at a rehabilitation centre for sick and injured animals and took the opportunity to explore the Gauteng & Limpopo provinces. I am a self-confessed USA addict and for our honeymoon back in 2019 we travelled to Boston, Cape Cod and the gulf coast of Florida. I am fortunate to have family on the West Coast of the States, have extensive knowledge of California (In September 2025 I clocked up my 17th trip!) and am adept at arranging coastal road trips. Everything is entirely personalised according to your tastes, budget and sense of adventure! I am a veritable ‘foodie’ in my free time (as my past travel blogs have always attested to) and my concierge expertise extends to recommending local restaurants and making reservations in advance to enhance your travel experience. My wealth of experience and personal knowledge, together with exceptional patience will ensure I source the correct holiday according to your exact requirements. This is reflected in the consistent positive feedback I have received from longstanding clients and past awards I have been given for customer satisfaction.I was born & bred in Horsham, West Sussex and after London adopting me for 15 years, returned to my home roots with my husband and dog Sammie. My personal circumstances allow me to work flexible hours and I am more than happy to discuss travel plans outside of normal office hours. Perhaps once the children have been put to bed or when you have more time to yourself at weekends.Building my business from the ground up has been hard work and pressurised at times but as I reach my 8-year landmark as a business owner, I feel a huge sense of achievement and excitement for the future. So.....where will 2026 take you?I very much look forward to hearing from you.

    I have a 28 year career in the travel industry and a true passion to make sure my clients always have a wonderful and memorable experience. We are all different and how we enjoy our holidays is very different too. Some people love adventure and prefer to get off the beaten track but others like to know they can experience new countries and cultures safe in the knowledge everything is perfectly organised before they leave. Some holidays are for relaxing on a beach and others are adrenalin filled, of course many are a mix of the two and more. I tailor all holidays to the client to ensure it is right for them. Most holidays are good, its time away from the stresses of daily life and spending quality time with those we care about, but I think it is about making sure that holiday time is the very best it can be. Advancement in technology has encouraged us all to spend hours online looking at websites hoping to see the perfect option, but can this ever really compare to working with an expert who does this every day? I am lucky enough to have visited 72 countries and work in partnership with 1000’s of colleagues who have travelled extensively too so I offer real advice and experience? There is no call centre here, you only ever need to contact me and I am available pretty much 24/7. Travel Counsellors also gives your investment the highest level of financial protection in the industry so your money is always safe.If it is time for your next trip please contact me and let’s make it happen…….

    My name is Natasha. I worked for Thomas Cook for 6 years before becoming a Travel Counsellor, giving me over 11 years experience. I have also been really lucky to have done a lot of travelling with my husband Martin too! There are now 3 of us in the Butler household. Myself and Martin, and Charlie we also have 26 cows that really do like to have their ears scratched. Martin and I have travelled most of Europe, Egypt, Tunisia, Turkey and then some longer ones like the USA, Caribbean, and Canada. So far I have two favourite destinations – they are a bit chalk and cheese though – Mexico and Florida! They both amazed me for very different reasons but the service, culture and standards were phenomenal! Mexico offers the heritage, people and beaches that seem to come from dreams. Florida was like a return to childhood, meeting the Disney characters, watching the amazing fireworks displays and chilling out in what can only be described as brilliant facilities at Disney’s onsite hotels. I don’t tend to go to the same place twice, but I would go to both of these several times! Though I still have many more places to visit, I am determined to travel the world. I am a firm believer that a holiday can solve anything, especially when you find the perfect one! I will make sure that every holiday you book will be done with the highest level of personalised service, tailored to you and your requirements. I will also be able to do this at a time that suits you over email, phone or even catching up for a coffee. I can’t wait to help you get your holiday arranged and help you make some memories. 2021: Iceland 2022: Tenerife + Tunisia 2023: Dominican Republic + Cyprus

    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

    Sharon Messett

    01580 848640 Tenterden

    My name is Sharon Messett and I have more than 30 years’ experience in the travel industry, including 20 working as a Travel Counsellor. It’s a role I love, as it gives me the chance to embrace my passion for travel on a daily basis, exploring new destinations through my research as well as returning to old favourites. I find it enormously rewarding helping my clients find the best experience possible for the type of holiday they want, whether it be a ‘flop and drop’ family beachside holiday, or a luxury retreat.I have been fortunate to have travelled extensively myself; including trips to Australia, New Zealand, the South Pacific, Southeast Asia, Africa, North America and the Caribbean, and have gained intimate knowledge of these long-haul destinations. Now that I have children, I am enjoying discovering more short-haul destinations around Europe including some amazing road trips with them to central Europe. For me, one of the best things about travel is the freedom that it gives you – travel brings anticipation, education, excitement and the joy of adventure into your life!TRAVEL WITH A CONSCIENCE My travels have also shown me the positive and negative effects of tourism; at its best when it is supporting communities who rely on visitors for their income, and at its worst where over-tourism has had a detrimental effect on locals and the environment. Over time, this has given me the opportunity to reflect, and I have realised that I have a growing interest in sustainable tourism. I would like to help you to find holidays and destinations which are amazing experiences and have a minimal impact or preferably offer positive environmental footprints.Travelling sustainably and responsibly is becoming increasingly more and more important for many travellers, and as your Travel Advisor I can carefully consider how to assist in building your perfect itinerary to make your trip kind to both people and our planet. I believe that sustainable travel also helps us to have more authentic travel experiences – visiting unspoilt places and immersing in the local culture is one of my passions, and one that I share with many of my clients.BOOK WITH ME AND I’LL LOOK AFTER YOU When it comes to travel, it’s important to know that you are booking with someone dependable, who you can trust, and who understands your precise needs every step of the way. The close relationships I build with each and every one of my clients, and the levels of care I can provide as your Travel Advisor, means that no-one can look after you better than I will. It makes me extremely proud to know that so many of my customers have recommended my services to their family, friends and associates. Being an independent Travel Advisor means I am not restricted to using only major holiday companies and allows me to create the perfect trip for you. Booking through Travel Counsellors also gives you security, as your money is completely financially protected against supplier failure by ATOL and the unique Travel Counsellors Trust.LOOKING AHEAD – PLAN YOUR GETAWAY I am sure that many of you, like me, want to plan a holiday for 2025/2026 - to have something to look forward to. Let me provide you with first-hand expertise and information to inspire your next adventure and let's see where the next year takes you.If you are unable to travel yet, then the next best thing to travelling is talking about it and planning it. Therefore, if you can't yet go where you want to just yet, let's discuss your plans instead. Please give me a call or send me an email and we can have a chat!

    01635 766006 Newbury, Berkshire

    Hi I’m Jon! I live in Berkshire with my partner Maria and 2 house rabbits! When we’re not all hopping around the house, we’re either out walking, eating or listening to live music.I’ve personally visited Australia, Canada, China, Caribbean, Egypt, Europe, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Maldives, Morocco, Seychelles, Singapore, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Thailand, UAE, USA (California, Florida, Louisiana, Nevada, Texas). I’ve enjoyed enduring overnight sleeper trains, tents and hostels, and relished relaxing in lavish hotels, 5-star dining and business class flights. Memorable Travel Experience: Whilst travelling alone in Hong Kong, I took a glass bottom cabin on the sky-rail from Tung Chung to the Tian Tan Buddha and Po Lin Monastery. The sun was beginning to set, and the last cabin was due to depart… but I wasn’t having that! I decided to hike to the bottom along the Wisdom Path, it’s surrounded by forest, overlooks the Tung Chung Bay and I didn’t see another person for 2 hours. As I reached the bottom I jumped on a random bus, that took me to a fishing village, Mui Who, where I had dinner with the locals. Luckily, there was a ferry terminal there that took me from the serene Lantau Island back to bustling Hong Kong. The darkness of the evening was obliterated by the Symphony of Lights display that greeted me as I arrived back at the bay. It was an accidental, day of exploration where everything just clicked into place without even trying, sometimes the best experiences are the ones that aren’t planned. As the world becomes more accessible, our horizons may be expanded. Whether you venture adventure, dream of sleeping on the beach, or you’re dashing for discovery, I have over 20,000 hours of travel industry experience with a breadth of knowledge in a multitude of worldwide destinations. I spend time envisioning the tangible experience before I even go near the physical planning of a holiday, then I make the magic happen. I’ve a background with a popular travel company in which I offered bespoke itineraries, with additional specialisms in business class travel and cruise. More recently as a corporate travel consultant in the banking industry, I know where to draw the line between fluffy and practical. Favourite sayings: ‘We don’t have problems, just solutions.’ & ‘Don’t let fear stand in the way of your dreams.’

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.

    Hello & welcome to my Travel Counsellors webpage!!I have been travelling the world most of my adult life visiting a variety of far flung places.I first caught the travel bug in my early 20s when I was backpacking between Thailand and Singapore (before mobile phones and the internet) and I haven't looked back since. I have been lucky enough to experience some amazing places but my choice of where to stay since those early days has most definitely improved. It's now more about views, food and location than cheapest possible and questionable hostels.So far, I have visited more than 50 countries stretching from North America to South East Asia and the Caribbean to Australia. People often ask where is my favourite place I have visited. It's a question I struggle to answer as each destination offers a different experience. Travelling is my university so I am still learning and exploring.I love creating memorable journeys and pride myself on treating your holiday with as much care as I do my own. The support you'll receive from me is second to none and I am here to help you navigate through these difficult times.So why not get in touch and let me see how I can help with your next trip?I look forward to hearing from you,Happy travelling!

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.

    Hi, I’m Angela - thanks for visiting my page.I am looking forward to being able to share my passion for travel with you, and find you the perfect trip. Travel is my calling and I have been in the industry for over 20 years - my entire working life in fact.I currently live in Melbourn nr Royston with my husband - who I met whilst working abroad - and my two now not so little girls Chloe and Alice who are 13 and 7. As a family we spend a lot of time travelling the country as we have friends and family all over - a perfect excuse for a road trip and we all love the thrill of an airport and exploring somewhere new.I realised my calling in travel at 16 when I studied travel and tourism at college. From here I worked in Crete and then spent eight years living and working all over France and Italy.After that I spent two years selling tailor-made trips to Australia and New Zealand - and all places en route in each direction! I loved creating these holidays of a lifetime that really meant something to my clients who relied on my expertise as an Aussie/New Zealand/Hong Kong Specialist to make their trip perfect. I love getting my teeth into somewhere new, and virtually exploring the area unravelling its secrets. I then spent eight years working for a schools tour operator, selling curriculum based trips for groups of students - which really uses my European and US city break knowledge. I was also a long-haul specialist for those schools who wanted to visit China, Vietnam, Cuba and India. I have travelled to many of the places I have sold so have first-hand knowledge and can help you feel at home when you get there. I have been around the world (almost) but my absolute favourite destination is Venice. It is such a beautiful city - it helps that it was here where my husband proposed!I can’t wait to help you put together your dream trip - be it a weekend break in Europe or a multi-centre Australia trip of a lifetime - be assured, I will put as much care and attention into it as I would my own trip and I can work on it at a time that is convenient to you.

    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.

    Hello, thank you for taking the time to view my webpage.I fell into travel as a profession accidently as it happens. In what was supposed to be a stopgap between a career switch, I found a position in a busy travel agency reservations department. That was 26 years ago. It turned out that was exactly what I loved to do. During those years dealing with customer requests & enquiries, one thing stood out to me, above & beyond everything else, what is most important; I hear you, the customer.Working collaboratively with the independent network of Travel Counsellors, I offer my own brand of impeccable personal service whilst leaning-into their reservoir of travel products. This enables me to select without favour to any suppliers, therein never be required to compromise on what is best for you. I have access to trade-level negotiated airline, hotel, transfer, tours, private jets, helicopter transfers; access to everything & anything travel related. I vet all products meticulously on your behalf so that all offerings meet your exact requirements & expectations.In me, you have your own one-to-one personal travel assistant and fully ATOL licensed bespoke tour operator. I do the heavy lifting, all the stuff that slows down your life:- searching, speaking to airlines, speaking to hotels/villas, checking terms & conditions, making bookings, making special requests. I offer guidance on country-specific border restrictions & regulations so that you can travel seamlessly.All payments are completely protected by Travel Counsellors' own unique trust-fund arrangement within Lloyds Banking Group whereby all monies paid are held & ring-fenced, so your travel plans & payments are fully secure.I very much look forward to looking after you.

    0203 292 0199 Croydon

    Working in travel since 1993, I bring more than 30 years of experience to every holiday I create. For over 25 of those years I have focused on leisure travel, designing everything from relaxed beach escapes and family adventures to complex, once-in-a-lifetime itineraries. I like to say I am a bit of a jack of all trades when it comes to destinations, which means my clients benefit from a broad perspective as well as deep, first-hand knowledge.I launched my Travel Counsellors business in February 2020 and today it delivers an annual turnover of more than £2 million. Corporate travel is my main area of focus, but as our business has grown, so too has our leisure offering. With our expanding team, we now have dedicated colleagues who support my leisure clients, as well as continuing to look after the travel needs of our corporate travellers and their families.Within the team we have specialists across the globe: from South Africa and the wider African continent to the Caribbean, the USA and South America, Asia and Australasia. We also have expertise across a wide range of holiday types, including ski, golf, safari, beach, luxury and premium escapes. So whether you are dreaming of a Maldivian overwater villa, a family ski trip, a self-drive through South Africa or a luxury Caribbean cruise, there will be someone in the team who knows it inside out.What originally inspired me to become a Travel Counsellor was the opportunity to build genuine relationships with my clients. By taking the time to really get to know you, I can understand what truly matters: the kind of hotels you love, how you like to travel, and the little details that make a big difference. That might be arranging a particular room type with a sunset view, planning a surprise for a special celebration, or recommending a seafront restaurant where I know from experience they serve an exceptional steak. These personal touches are simply not something an online booking website can offer.I pride myself on providing a high-touch, friendly and very personal service, handling every stage of your trip from the first idea to your return home. You will have one point of contact who knows you and your preferences, backed up by my growing team and a 24-hour UK-based duty office for those times when I am unavailable or when you need support while you are away.Travel Counsellors as a business has been recognised many times for the way we look after our customers. We are Queens Award winners for Enterprise for the third time, finalists for Luxury Homeworking Business of the Year, and were voted the best travel firm for looking after their customers during the COVID-19 pandemic by readers of MoneySavingExpert. Our strapline is “With us… it’s personal” and I am proud to live that every day, whether I am arranging a complex corporate itinerary or a much-needed family holiday.If you would like some holiday inspiration, access to the best options without the stress of searching, or simply honest advice on where to go next, I would be delighted to help you plan your perfect trip.

    Emily Coles

    01788 670022 Rugby

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

    My name is Michael, I’m a Travel Counsellor and I live in Radlett, a commuter village located between Watford and St Albans in Hertfordshire. My family have lived in Hertfordshire since at least the 1600s. That’s probably why I felt the need to escape and see a bit more of the world; travel after all broadens the mind.Sport and travel have always been passions of mine and I have combined the two by arranging and selling skiing holidays for many years and I have also been involved in running cricket and rugby tours to both the UK and Europe.I’ve been in the travel industry for over 30 years and have experienced and enjoyed many different roles so I have a great understanding of what you, the customer wants from every aspect of their holiday.From being an overseas representative in destinations as diverse as Ibiza and Switzerland and contracting hotels, apartments and villas in Cyprus, Turkey, the Canary Islands, mainland Spain, Greek Islands and many, many more fabulous holiday destinations, my main ambition has always been to ensure that everything is right for the customer!I’m often asked what my favourite holiday destination is and it is so difficult to pick just one place from all the great and varied opportunities out there. However here goes with a few favourites: for skiing I love Italy, as much for the food and atmosphere as the skiing, Australia and India are places I must visit again as there is so much more to see. I have a particular soft spot for Cyprus, its history and its people. My favourite cities must include Florence, New York, Lisbon and Sydney.I look forward to helping you visit some of your personal favourites or even better discover your own brand new “dream destination”.

    If you are reading this, the chances are you are contemplating booking your perfect holiday or short break very soon. So let me tell you a little about myself...My name is Kay and I live on the beautiful North Yorkshire east coast in sunny Scarborough. I have been married to my husband John for 30 years, and we have one adult son, Jay. Being brought up in my parents’ family-run hotel, I learnt at an early age the importance of customer service. This continued throughout my career in hospitality. I have worked in 5* hotels in London and Harrogate, I was an Event Manager in Sheffield and also a Business Travel Consultant with a large manufacturing company. Here, I had to source the best and most cost-effective way of travelling from A to B, booking worldwide flights, negotiating hotel rates, trains, ferries, car hire - creating itineraries to ensure busy schedules were adhered to.I have been on interesting holidays - driven across the volcanic landscape of Fuerteventura and micro climate Gran Canaria, ridden through Holland, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, France and Spain on a motorbike, dog-walked through stunning Southern Ireland, enjoyed family holidays in Egypt, Kos, Lanzarote, Croatia, Crete, Corfu, Cyprus, Mexico, Dubai and shared the ocean with great whites in stunning South Africa! I have trapezed with Club Med in Greece, skydived in Florida, cruised the Med, driven along the PCH in California, seen the Northern Lights in Norway, lazed on beautiful Barbados and Mauritian beaches, experienced a traditional Hammam in Kalkan, enjoyed the culture of Bangkok, Koh Samui and Phuket, gambled in Vegas and swum with dolphins in Walt Disneyworld, Orlando - one of my specialist areas of the world!So why book with me? Quite simply, ‘it’s personal'. I care about ensuring your holiday is perfect from start to finish - there is no charge for my expertise and I'm available at a time to suit you including evenings and weekends. Rather than selling you a standard tour operator package, I can quickly search through hundreds of different flight, accommodation and transfer alternatives to find a bespoke holiday that suits your needs exactly.

    Making Special MemoriesEveryone has a story about a fondly remembered holiday – very often more than one. These might be from childhood, a first trip to an exotic destination, or perhaps a trip to celebrate a special occasion. Whichever it is, one thing is for certain, holidays hold a special place in our hearts and minds and give us memories that we treasure.But putting together something as simple as a city break, let alone your dream trip, can be stressful. With the world to choose from – where is the perfect destination for us? What is the best way of booking it – direct or through an agent of some sort? Will my trip be financially protected? What if something goes wrong – how do I get help when I am away?These are all legitimate questions, and I help my clients by providing the answers.Let me introduce myself. My name is Neil.For the past 10 years it’s been my pleasure to help make every client’s holiday not just special, but hopefully one that they will talk about years later. I take pride in the service I deliver to achieve this, and really do care about making every trip you take as perfect as it can be.Why place your trust in me?Four decades of working in the travel industry, including managing a large tour operator and travelling the world to inspect hotels for over 20 years, has helped give me a unique insight into what makes the difference between a good holiday, and a truly memorable one.I build strong relationships with clients, and am fortunate that, through years of repeat bookings, many have become friends. As a Travel Counsellor, I set out to deliver on your detailed personal requirements, not just the generic travel arrangements. This means I take time to listen and understand what’s really important to you. I want to make sure your trip is everything you want it to be - it’s important to me both professionally and personally. I make sure I am available to discuss your requirements at any time, including in the evening and over the weekend. You can contact me by phone, email, or via social media sites. I would also be delighted to meet you at my office or in the comfort of your home. After your booking has been made, I will provide all the vital information you need for your trip to go smoothly. Once your holiday starts, I can monitor your itinerary, and remind you about important deadlines, ensuring everything is booked as it should be, leaving you to enjoy a stress free time away.So where will you go next?From a trip to the Cotswolds to a round-the-world tour, I can organise your memorable trip for you. It might take you across the world to the land of down under, or to the tropical delights of South-East Asia. You might have always wanted to see the Big Apple or the Grand Canyon. Maybe a cultural tour of Europe’s great capitals is your thing. Or is something more laid back your style – strolling along a white sand beach in the Caribbean perhaps?Whatever type of holiday you want, however large or small, I can certainly guide you. I deliver expert advice and take care of all your travel arrangements and needs; from the moment you leave home to the moment you get back. I hope to hear from you and start to help you create your next special memories.

    Hello and thanks for taking the time to look me up. I've been with Travel Counsellors since 2004 and every day is a fantastic challenge which makes me enjoy my work more and more. It's such an honour to be part of such an exciting and innovative company where our ethos is firmly rooted in excellent customer service.For 18 years I specialised in Business Travel and enjoyed creating itineraries which include flights, hotels, cars, ferries and rail reservations but since joining Travel Counsellors, I now have the opportunity to put together some really exciting itineraries for leisure customers as well and my knowledge of the leisure sector is growing by the day.Of course I have done some travelling myself and have been many times to Europe. I loved the buzz of New York, the 'Summertime' feeling you get in Miami and the clean air of San Francisco. Dubai is fabulous for shopping and sizzling on the beach or relaxing in the desert. I've also been to Hong Kong where the pace never eases up and in contrast, to the Caribbean where nothing is rushed and you'd fare better if you just relaxed! I'm also an avid cruiser and have cruised with P&O, Princess, Royal Caribbean and Holland America cruise lines and this year I was on board for P&O's Azura and NCL's EPIC inaugural events. Cruising is fantastic these days and really has something for everyone. So you see, I love travelling and when I'm not, I take pleasure in arranging travel for my friends, and my clients become my friends, and I always arrange a holiday on the basis of ' would I go there'. Thanks for taking the time to read my page and get in touch when you next want your dream holiday arranged. Please feel free to contact me by phone or email.Kind regardsGill
