Hi, my name is Sarah and I am your Travel Counsellor based in Highgate, North London. I have a young family but still love to travel and I have a passion for organising everything from bespoke long haul and short haul holidays to flights only or a few nights in a hotel.I specialise in Luxury Travel: Tailor-made... Family Holidays… Honeymoons... Ski... Weddings... Disney Holidays... Groups... City Breaks... Australia… Florida... New York... Dubai... Mexico.... The Caribbean… Las Vegas... Mauritius... Africa… Europe... India.... the list goes on!I help create memorable trips for my clients. By taking the time to get to know you personally I will build a detailed picture of the places you like to visit and the things you love to do on holiday, allowing me to truly tailor-make your trip.I provide a personal service which is simply not available when booking your travel online. Client satisfaction is tremendously important to me and I pride myself on personal care, treating every holiday as if it were my own and going the extra mile for my clients. You will always speak to me and with flexible hours I am available at times to suit you, including weekends.I know how difficult it can be travelling with children and I can advise how to make your trip go smoothly and help with making things easier on arrival. My personal service will take away those doubts we all have on going somewhere new. I started in the travel industry over 25 years ago after I came back from 18 months in Australia and South East Asia/India. Since then I have worked in a specialist bespoke long haul travel agency, group travel and spent a long time in business travel and events. In that time I have travelled extensively and have been lucky enough to visit numerous countries plus some more exotic places such as Costa Rica, The Philippines and West Africa. Dubai is one of our favourite mid haul destinations, especially with kids.I am fortunate enough to have family in Kenya and Tanzania so for the last 20 years I have been there every year and could count myself as a bit of an East African expert. I have even taken my six year old on safari a few times - I don’t think he realised how lucky he is! However he is equally happy in a pool or on a beach in Europe. Call, email or get in touch via social media. Flexible hours to suit you, honest and totally personalised. I will always respond quickly to your enquiry.I hope to hear from you soon.

It's safe to say that travel is my greatest passion. Having missed out on foreign travel as a child and taking my first trip to India at the age of 15, I think I've been making up for lost time ever since! Since starting my journey in high street travel at the age of 17 and working with luxury tailor made trips, private islands and villas, I have gained a wealth of knowledge over the years to help me curate your perfect travel experiences. Working as a Travel Counsellor enables me to provide a highly personalised and bespoke service, allowing me to give as much care and attention into planning your holiday as I would my own. I aim to make your trip special by taking charge of the finer details and making your booking process hassle-free. Being truly independent, with a diverse choice of suppliers to hand, helps to turn your travel dreams into reality and find that unique trip that is just right for you. I can be available at a time to suit you, so for those little travel queries I am only a call away. Working with luxury villas has taken me across Europe, however, I do love to travel long haul and have been lucky enough to experience places like Bali, Thailand, Hong Kong, USA and South Africa, to name some highlights. A memorable adventure was a trip of a lifetime to Australia - a boat on Sydney harbour for New Year's Eve, surfing Bondi beach and exploring Fraser Island - now that will be a tough trip to beat! From the UK to Australia and everywhere between, no trip is too big or too small and I look forward to hearing from you. Life is about the journey... Where will your travels take you next?

Are you feeling a little more positive about travel next year? A number of my clients are calling now to talk about getting away. My passion for travel has led me to the USA many times - last count 35 states - and to Canada, Morocco, Egypt, South Africa, the Middle and Far East, Australia, New Zealand and all over Europe. Over the years of talking with my clients, I believe this love of travel is deep in our blood. During these discussions, I have shared my insights, top tips and secrets to having the holiday of a lifetime.And here is one tip - please check your passport. Those additional months the Passport Office used to add to the new document are not acceptable to other countries. The true expiry date is now exactly 10 years from the issue date.To feed my passion I have been doing quite a few ‘virtual educationals’ (online training given by local tourist boards) to areas I have not visited. Seeing these wonderful places, many of them, like Venice, in a better condition than for decades, has made me appreciate one benefit of this unprecedented time.How have you been feeding your travel passion? What can I do to help you?If you would like to have a chat or share a dream for a special holiday to celebrate life returning to something near normal, please give me a call on 01494 854160.I might not be able to travel with you, but you will always be able to contact me when you travel with the MyTC app, on your phone.PJ

After many years managing High Street travel shops, I became a Travel Counsellor in April 2002.

Planning a holiday should be fun, right?If you’ve happened across my page, then I’ve probably come recommended to you (hi!), or you’re going round in circles looking for advice you can trust.I know there’s a million ways to book out there, but I also understand it can be totally over-whelming, time-sapping and infuriating.And whilst saving you from all those admin headaches is a part of what I do, having a Travel Counsellor is also about so much more…Back in 2018, after a decade working for various big names in the travel industry, I decided to take the plunge and put everything I’d learned into starting my own thing.From the off, my little business has been about personal, warm and truly human service. I’m not here for selling and targets, I’m not going to push a certain thing on you because it suits me. I’m small-scale, I know my clients by name, not by booking reference. I’ll find out about you: what you love, what you hate, what’ll make things extra special and then I’ll work to bring it to life, all wrapped up in a level of 24/7 care that you know you can rely on.So, what can I help you with? Well, the world’s your oyster, really. You might have an idea, or just an inkling of the kind of thing you’d like. I’ll take your lead and work in the best way to suit you.First and foremost, I’m a fully ATOL-protected tour operator, meaning I can design you anything and everything with complete financial peace of mind. Whether that’s a city or a beach break, an ocean or river cruise, or a complex multi-centre adventure, I’ll suggest locations, hand-pick hotels and tweak and tailor until it’s just right for you.I’m also an independent travel agent, so, depending on what you fancy, I can help you choose from a wide choice of tried and trusted third party suppliers too. That means I’ll do all the legwork to compare the options, and present you with a whittled down list of what works and why.I’ve found that you can’t have this conversation without talking about price. I’m always completely transparent that while my prices are fair, I’m not here to try and beat online or DIY arrangements where there’s little to no care, service or protection involved. However, with direct relationships with a whole world of hotels, airlines, cruise companies, adventure specialists, experience providers and much more, I’ll work my socks off to get the right thing, at the right budget. If you’re not sure if I can help, please just ask. I’ll always give you an honest answer.Ready to stop reading, and start planning? I’d love to help. I’ll work flexibly around you, so get in touch and we can arrange a time to chat.

Hi I'm Lisa, a Travel Counsellor based in Kings Heath, Birmingham. I have over 20 years of travel experience, arranging tailormade itineraries all over the world - travel is my passion! As a home based Travel Counsellor I am able to dedicate my time to my client’s needs, meaning I am able to offer an unparalleled level of service at a time that’s convenient for you. Over the years I have gained a wealth of knowledge about airlines, destinations and routes. As an independent agent, all the advice I offer is completely impartial and I have access to great offers across the industry, from leading airlines to hotels, cruise lines, car hire and many specialist tour operators. I'll take the time to find out exactly what you are looking for and then suggest the best places to go and how best to get there. I can recommend where to stay and even what excursions to do. Then I'll put it all together so you have full financial protection for every aspect of your holiday, plus someone you can easily get in touch with any time you need to.I set off on my first big adventure in my early twenties, taking a year out to travel around the world via North America, Australasia and Asia, including living and working in Australia for eight months. Since then I’ve been fortunate enough to have visited many more incredible places and had some amazing experiences. It’s impossible to pick a favourite, but some highlights would include: trekking to see gorillas in Rwanda, sleeping under the stars in Wadi Rum, learning to salsa in Cuba, island hopping in Croatia, a coastal road trip down Highway 1 in the USA, wine tasting in South Africa, getting wet at Iguassu Falls and swimming in my private pool in the Seychelles. The last few years I have had 2 small children in tow, but they have been to Thailand, Holland, Portugal, Cyprus, Bulgaria, Slovenia and Iceland already, so I fully intend to pass the travel bug along!A client recently told me that booking her holiday with me was "like planning a trip with a friend who happens to be a travel expert"; that's how I want all of my customers to feel.Wishing you happy travels!

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 have enjoyed seamlessly making holidays accessible and my comprehensive service includes, assistance through airports and on flights, adapted transfers, guaranteed accessible rooms, through to hiring of equipment, nursing care and accessible excursions. Having curated holidays, just not for a specialist market, along with drawing on my travel experience through more than 50 countries, I instinctively match holidays and listen to my customers’ tailoring holidays to individual needs and requirements. I love finding out where you’ve been and where you want to go, because sometimes travel is about heightening your imagination and finding those things you never knew you were looking for.But of course, the most important relationships over the years have been with my valued clients, many now friends. It is so rewarding that you are already allowing me the pleasure to plan and book your future holidays and travel. That means so much. But what is really exciting about being a Travel Counsellor is that I will now be able to offer an almost unlimited range of destinations and holiday opportunities to everyone, that simply cannot be matched by any other travel organisation. This will mean I can help realise your travel ambitions and dreams in a way that was simply not previously possible. Add to this round-the-clock support wherever you are in the world, 100% financial protection and of course a personal, caring service without compromise and it really is going to be a future without limits!Ali

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

Thank you for visiting my page, here's a little bit about me...My name is Jessica, your local Travel Counsellor. I am based in Burntwood, Staffordshire. I am a motorsports lover, mainly F1 (Formula 1) and BSB (British Superbikes), and a Disney fanatic. Travel is something I am passionate about; I have been to Majorca, France, Lanzarote and my favourite, Florida. Florida is my favourite destination because of all the theme parks, especially Disney, I was lucky to be able to go there nearly every year from the ages 1-8. As a child I saw my favourite characters being brought to life and was able to be apart of the magic myself when walking through the streets of Disney and seeing Cinderella's castle. Our family holidays to Florida really are some of my favourite memories. That being said, I still have many dream vacations left on my bucket list that I am excited to experience. I also can't wait to help you experience your dream vacations and tick them off your bucket list.Whether it's a solo adventure, romantic getaway, family holiday or a once in a lifetime opportunity, I will be here to help you with your holiday wants and needs every step of the way. I am here to take the stress away from planning and booking your holidays and knowing that all bookings are 100% ATOL protected, will hopefully add to that peace of mind. As I'm not tied to any suppliers, I can tailor your holiday to suit you and create bespoke itineraries for your dream getaway.I'm excited to help make your dream holidays a reality, where you can make fun, long-lasting memories. Have a holiday in mind? Please get in touch and we can start planning your perfect holiday.

Hei, Thanks for taking time out to let me outline my and my partner's experience.I learnt my trade working for and with, amongst others, Colin Murison Small who more or less invented the alpine ski 'chalet girl’, Colin Trigger a one time Chairman of ABTA & ATOL, and the legendary Vladimir Raitz who held the country’s first ATOL when in 1949 he sent 21 people to Corsica for £35 a head!! I’ve watched the sun rise over Table Mountain, sink beneath the horizon in the Aegean and stay above it all night in the Svalbard Archipelago. I’ve slept in a mountain hut on the edge of an Icelandic glacier and a staffed villa on a coconut plantation in the Dominican Republic. I've organised family holidays, culture tours, a product launch on an Icelandic glacier, weddings in the sun and snow, sales incentive meetings and more. My partner Anna ( Hyndman Lahna) spent 3 decades working in tour operation, retail travel, repatriation and for Singapore Airlines & South African Airways. What she doesn’t know about airline ticketing isn’t worth knowing. She has equally eclectic experiences to mine having white water rafted on the Zambezi River, trekked by camel across the Gobi desert, flip flopped over the Piranha River Bridge into Paraguay, and trained elves for Father Christmas in Lapland.Together we fuse our collective experience (and experiences) with Travel Counsellors' state of the art technology to plan, polish and perfect your holiday the way you want it to be. To see to it that everything works flawlessly for you from beginning to end. 'With us its Personal' is more than the company strap line its how we work so you get the travel arrangements you want. And if things go wrong we've dealt with disruptions caused by everything from snow storms to volcanic eruptions.Our offices are wherever we are 24/7 so both Anna and I are always just a phone call , Whats App message , e-mail or text away so get in touch by whichever method suits you and let us show you what 'With us its Personal' can mean for you.Travel Counsellors is a 650m turonover company with a unique personalised business model, 24/7 availablity and a Trust Fund 100% guaranteeing your money's safe in all circumstances.

My name is Muriel Morgan and I am an independent travel agent in Slamannan. I joined Travel Counsellors in 2005 and before that I was employed by Thomas Cook. I joined Travel Counsellors as I wanted to concentrate on giving my customers the highest possible levels of personal service and independent travel advice.As your own Travel Counsellor I can use our award winning technology and my personal expertise to tailor make exactly the right holiday to suit your needs. Rather than selling you a standard tour operator package, I can quickly search through hundreds of different flight, accommodation and transfer alternatives to find something that suits your needs exactly. Quite often this means I can build you a bespoke holiday at a better price than the standard holiday package you might get elsewhere.Travel Counsellors recognises that not everyone is free to discuss their travel arrangements during the working week. My company’s award winning technology enables me to work from home and means you can contact me at times when most other travel agents are unavailable, including evenings up to 11pm and weekends.I love holidays and have been very lucky to travel extensively all over the world. I have visited Spain, Turkey, France, Portugal, Bulgaria, Iceland, Greece, Malta & Gozo to name a few. I have also visited Australia and New Zealand multiple times, stopping off in various countries like Dubai, Singapore & Bali. I have experienced various cruises including Mediterranean, Caribbean, South Pacific & the Emirates which are a fabulous way of seeing more than one place and can be really good value for money. I have also experienced a skiing holiday to Banff in Canada and found Cuba, Mexico, Jamaica, Dominican Republic and Grand Cayman which are all really interesting holiday destinations. My first trip to Egypt took me to Sharm el Sheikh in November 2004 and I was so impressed I returned again a number of times. For non-swimmers it is excellent, as you only need to walk out into the sea about knee deep and you can look down into the beautiful clear turquoise water and see an array of fish and coral in every colour imaginable. Ive visited many destinations in the USA including Las Vegas, Miami, Los Angeles, Kentucky & Florida. European city breaks have also played a part in my travels & Ive been lucky to have visited Barcelona, Paris, Amsterdam & Warsaw to name a few.

Hello, I’m Adrian.I’m proud to call the beautiful village of Lympstone home, nestled along the Exe Estuary in Devon. After being born and raised in London, I feel incredibly fortunate to now live surrounded by stunning coastline, rolling countryside and wide open skies. When I’m not planning unforgettable trips for my clients, you’ll usually find me running, cycling, walking the coast paths, or out on the water kayaking or paddle-boarding.Travel has shaped my life in more ways than one. After 11 years working for an award-winning High Street travel agency, I became a Travel Counsellor in 2018 — a move that gave me the freedom to offer something far more personal and tailored. Even through the challenges of recent years, my passion for helping people explore the world has only grown stronger.Over the years, I’ve arranged everything from UK weekend escapes and European beach holidays to self-drive adventures across the USA and once-in-a-lifetime cruises to Antarctica. No two trips are ever the same — and that’s exactly how I like it.My own love of travel began early. Twenty-five years ago, my wife Pauline and I stepped away from the world of London finance and set off on a year-long adventure around the globe — and we’ve never looked back. I’ve now visited more than 40 countries across five continents: sleeping under the stars in the Sahara, backpacking through China and Southeast Asia, and enjoying five-star luxury in Bali. Each journey has deepened my appreciation for the excitement, culture and connection that travel brings.If I had to choose favourites? South Africa for its extraordinary landscapes and diversity, Thailand for its warmth and beaches, and Italy — well, for absolutely everything.As your Travel Counsellor, my focus is simple: you. I take the time to understand your interests, preferences and priorities so that every detail of your trip is thoughtfully designed. Whether you’re planning a dream holiday of a lifetime, a relaxing family beach break, a romantic city escape, a ski adventure, a business trip or your honeymoon, I’ll ensure it’s seamless and unforgettable.Unlike traditional travel agencies, I’m completely independent and impartial, with access to thousands of trusted travel partners — from leading airlines and hotels to tour operators, cruise lines and car hire companies. I’m also supported by a 24-hour duty office and benefit from full financial protection via the Travel Counsellors Financial Trust and ATOL, giving you complete peace of mind.Working from home allows me to offer flexibility and personal service that fits around you. I’m always happy to meet in person to discuss your plans and make sure everything is perfect from the very beginning.I’d love to help you plan your next adventure — please get in touch and let’s start creating something special.

Hi and welcome to my Travel Counsellors webpage.I have over 35 years of experience in the travel industry, in a variety of roles from airline reservations, airport ticket desk, leisure and most recently (for the last 12 years) business travel - both corporate (on the Morgan Stanley Roadshows team) and in entertainment (on EMI and Universal music accounts). I have gained a wealth of on the job experience over the years working in different areas of the industry, but I have also gained a great deal from my own personal travel experiences from walking the Great Wall of China, Kenyan safaris, swimming with turtles in Barbados, trekking the rainforest in St Lucia and sampling the delights of the wine route in Cape Town - to name but a few! One thing that has remained consistent throughout is my passion for customer service. I will always go the extra mile for my customers and I am always available at the end of the phone day or night.I can discuss your trip at a time convenient for you (including evenings and weekends) so that you will receive a truly personal experience.With the help of Travel Counsellors award winning technology I am able to uniquely package holidays at competitive rates searching from over 400 approved suppliers. This means you get the best deal while saving you the time and hassle of various internet searches.I can also handle all your business travel requirements from flights and hotels to car hire and trains. I am quite used to travellers whose plans change constantly, even en-route (after my time on the roadshow desk) and also very familiar with handling very specific requests (after looking after arrangements for famous artists).Whatever your requirements just let me know and I will do my utmost to help make your trip everything you want it to be and hopefully more!

A bit about me: I am married with 1 teenage son and as you can imagine their passion is football but mine is very much travel so the more football they do the more travelling I do (it’s only fair) meaning I have been lucky enough to visit some amazing destinations over the years.Travel has not only been my passion but fortunately it has been my profession and since leaving education 20 years ago (where does the time go?) I have worked for some of the leading travel organisations in the UK dealing with a wide variety of different travel requirements from, cheap and cheerful breaks to tailor-made holidays of a lifetime as well as more recently diversifying into business travel helping companies making the most of what they spend on travel. I have always wanted to work for myself but at the same time I wanted to ensure I had the infrastructure to make sure I could offer the best deals whilst delivering exceptional service to my clients and being part Travel Counsellors has given me the platform to do that. I always go above and beyond and particularly in these uncertain times, like me, you’ll always want to make sure you can pay for your holiday with the confidence that should anything go wrong then you are 100% financially protected.So why book with me?

Hello, and welcome — I’m truly delighted you’re here.I’m Kirstie Timmins, your personal Travel Counsellor, and the person who turns “I’d love to go someday…” into “I can’t believe we’re actually doing this.” My passion is crafting beautifully personalised journeys for travellers who want more than a typical holiday — they want something thoughtful, effortless, and genuinely unforgettable.In a world full of search engines and generic “best deals,” I offer something different: a calm, considered, boutique service where your experience comes first. No endless scrolling. No overwhelm. No one-size-fits-all itineraries.We begin with a conversation — about what inspires you, the little luxuries you love, how you like to travel, and the moments that turn a trip into a treasured memory. From there, I design a bespoke itinerary shaped with intention, whether it’s a luxury cruise, a hidden-gem retreat, an immersive cultural journey, or something entirely unique to you. My service is warm, flexible, and deeply personal.Want to explore ideas over coffee? Prefer a relaxed chat at home or in your favourite local pub? Absolutely. And once your adventure begins, I’m always just a call away — whether you need reassurance, recommendations, or even directions to the airport (yes, really!).My clients don’t come to me simply to “book a holiday.” They come for peace of mind, for thoughtful detail, and for travel experiences crafted exclusively for them.If you’re dreaming of something extraordinary — something that feels elevated, meaningful, and entirely your own — I’d love to bring it to life. Shall we begin your next unforgettable escape?

With over 43 years experience in the travel industry, I am part of a network of independent, professional travel consultants.Many people now attempt to book their holidays via the internet rather than having the hassle of going into a travel agency, often unaware of the problems this can create, particularly when it comes to financial protection and lack of personal knowledge, let alone the hours of time and expense trying to sort out issues. We at Travel Counsellors take your travel experience to the next stage and give you the opportunity of selecting your holiday from the comfort of your own home, coupled with a level of expertise and complete financial protection you will not find elsewhere.I will offer you the best value available from a wider range of operators than any high street agency can offer and am happy to tailor make travel to suit your needs and budget.

Hi,I am Mike Bridges - I have worked in travel for 36 years with the last 16 as a Travel Counsellor. In that time I have seen a radical change in how travel is sourced, so much so that I am now more of a tour operator than a travel agent, putting together bespoke packages to long haul destinations such as Australia, South Africa, U.S.A., the far east as well as all over Europe and the middle East. I also arrange corporate travel for my business clients.I have personally travelled extensively to most of these destinations over the years both as a consumer on family holidays and also as a delegate on educational/travel agency visits. Some of the places I have visited include:I have particular expertise in the Australian travel market, having just been awarded the status of Premier Aussie Specialist by Tourism Australia.If you are seeking a personalised service from an experienced independent agent/operator then be sure to contact me for:That overseas wedding, your own or as a guest That special weekend treat Where to take some foreign visitors for a typical English experience That exciting first trip abroad The holiday of a lifetime That special cruise to mark your birthday, anniversary, retirement The annual family summer holiday - compare and contrast places, hotels and prices - The winter sports holiday The long haul trip The holiday ‘where you are looked after’ by a resident tour guide Arranging that conference abroad PA’s booking hotels, airlines, meetings for your boss Visiting that trade exhibition in EuropeThese are just a few of the services I can offer you but in short your travel needs become my personalised concern - let me take the hassle away from your time consuming surfing on the net, that thumbing through brochures - leave it to someone who knows - ring for a discussion and together we will create your holiday experience.I look forward to hearing from you soon…

Flexible around your life: I know how busy life can be, especially with work and family, so I can chat outside traditional office hours.

I have particular expertise in:Tailor‑made long‑haul adventures to New Zealand, Australia, Japan, Vietnam, Thailand, South Africa and across the USA Safari and wildlife experiences, including South Africa and Kenya (I have been to both), and ethical encounters in Asia Rail journeys across Europe, linking together iconic cities and scenic routes River and ocean cruising, including hosted Christmas markets river cruises Family‑friendly escapes and special occasions Whatever you have in mind, my goal is to really listen to what you want, then build a holiday that feels personal and exactly right for you.Some of my own travel highlights shape how I plan holidays for my clients: These include an epic three weeks in South Africa discovering the Southern Cape: shark diving, walking with penguins, unforgettable food and a fabulous safari to end the trip.

I help first‑time and experienced cruisers choose the right line, ship, cabin and itinerary, and I host group sailings such as Christmas markets river cruises.I work with solo travellers, couples, families and groups.

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.

Hello and welcome to my page. I have always loved to travel it is quite honestly my favourite thing to do. Another passion is delivering excellent service and by showing you the benefits of the personal touch, I believe I can make booking your trip as enjoyable as the adventure itself.I love ALL travel, city breaks, UK breaks, cruises, skiing, beach breaks, lakes and mountains, long haul, theme parks, theatre - you name it. My husband and I enjoyed long haul travel more pre children, but with them we have had some amazing adventure to Lapland, Florida and Europe. I can't wait to explore more of the world with them! More long haul and a safari is definitely on my list.I manage business travel for clients whose jobs take them away from home, I know how important it is to have a reliable business travel agent. I offer a full service including air, rail, conferencing, interview facilities, hotels, car hire and much more and all bookings are managed efficiently through our app MY TC. I am on hand out of hours to deal with those last minute changes to make the process as smooth and slick as possible. Travel Counsellors offer 24/7 cover for emergencies via me or our duty office. Business travel should not be a hassle and I believe I take the pain away for my clients allowing them to get on with the job in hand.My travel career spans 25 years starting as an apprentice working for a high street agency at 16 and advancing to different levels within the same company. My role as a world travel consultant gave me extensive knowledge of the cruise, wedding and honeymoon sectors so much so I class myself as an expert in these areas. However, I am equally as excited by the challenge of family and couples holidays to absolutely anywhere. If you are looking for a recommendation I am only too happy to help.Taking the hassle out of your travel arrangements is what makes being your own personal travel agent such a joy. I can assist with anything from pre booking your seats and printing boarding passes to securing that special room or organising a large group booking, nothing is too much trouble. 100% financial protection is provided on each and every booking - I know how important it is to book with someone you trust and to have confidence that your money is safe. Booking with me means avoiding the danger of losing money with websites that go in to administration or the all too familiar story of tour operators that collapse. The financial protection I offer free of charge is the best in the industry.Thank you for visiting my page and I look forward to hearing from you soon.Kind regards, Natalie.

Thank you for stopping by! It's Oscar here, your personal Travel Counsellor from Chichester, West Sussex, but I can also provide travel advice, recommendations and inspiration to you regardless of which corner of the planet you find yourself in!I am enthusiastic about everything I do, and I bring that enthusiasm with me when planning and curating dream travel itineraries for my cherished clients. I specialise in bespoke luxury travel arrangements and ensure that my clients receive travel suggestions that are personalised to their likes, dislikes and preferences, and those of their travelling party. I get to know my clients on a far more personal basis than traditional travel providers such as online booking sites, tour operators, and high street travel agents would ever bother to do. Get in touch to find out the methods to my madness...!Whilst tailored luxury travel arrangements may be my speciality, I channel my passion and enthusiasm into helping clients book a variety of travel options. From your all-inclusive resort holidays, to simply adding on another hotel stay to an existing holiday or even month-long expeditions across the North Pole, I've got you covered and make absolutely sure that every aspect of your itinerary is right for you. Some call me the Goldilocks of travel, ensuring everything is just right, but don't feel obliged to follow suit..!"So how exactly is that possible?" I hear you ask. Well, the answer is very simple. Being part of the award-winning Travel Counsellors community gives me access to over 2000 destination experts so, when there's a gap in my knowledge, I will still always be able to provide you with local suggestions from people who have first-hand experience of that location in the click of a finger. Combine that with a best-in-class tools-and-tech system, a behind-the-scenes support team who are on hand to assist 24-7 with rapid responses wherever you find yourself, a marketing department that enables me to share with you the latest travel deals, offers and travel updates the moment they are released, and access to thousands of trade-only suppliers who provide the best rates and travel opportunities that you may not have even known existed, and you find yourself a travel guru that can turn your dream trips and holidays into reality.Do you find yourself still wanting more?! Well fortunately for you, Oliver Twist, there is more!! My clients benefit from a multitude of other offerings that come as standard including low deposit payments, full financial protection from ATOL licensing and the Travel Counsellors Trust alongside other forms of financial security, and convenient communication channels, as well as saving time that would otherwise be spent with your nose in front of a computer endlessly researching your next holiday destination. So join my clients and start booking your travel the right way.Why choose me specifically? Great question. Apart from my unwavering enthusiasm and attention to the finest details, I am a sucker for exploring different cultures and have not only been fortunate enough to have visited some amazing destinations including Thailand, the Caribbean, Mexico, the USA and even the Galapagos Islands, but I have also spent time living in various places such as Marbella, Barcelona, Tenerife (hablo Español!), the French Alps, and Finnish Lapland in the height of winter where temperatures dropped as low as -35°C! On top of that, I have spent the majority of my adult life working in luxury hotels such as The Ritz-Carlton, Marriott's luxury-lifestyle brand, The Edition, and the massively up-and-coming Sani Ikos chain. So it's fair to say I know pretty well what's possible when it comes to hotel stays and can give insider recommendations to clients looking into booking a luxury hotel as part of their travel itinerary.If you think I can be of assistance for an upcoming holiday, I'd love to hear from you! Thank you again for visiting my page and I hope to speak soon!

I tailored packages for hundreds of satisfied customers, very many of these returning to me year after year to rebook. Through this I built up a personal understanding of what holidays they liked and what new adventures I would could make possible for them and others in the future.I believe holidays are not only a break from the normality of life, they also play an important part of your life and I personally feel these experiences should be treasured and remembered forever.

Travel has been my life for the past 20 years and hopefully it will be the same for the next 20! I could eat, sleep and breathe the word and I’ve been fortunate enough to travel quite extensively over the USA and Europe. In fact, I could categorically say Florida is my second home, having been there at least once a year, for the past 20 years! I have worked very closely over the years with Disney, Universal and SeaWorld and would be absolutely delighted to create you a bespoke itinerary for your Florida adventure as I know only too well what a daunting experience this can be for first-time visitors. I am also no stranger to New York, Las Vegas, San Francisco, Los Angeles, New Orleans, Dallas, Chicago and even St Louis (and yes, I did lie beneath the arch)!But of course, it’s not all about the USA, Europe is another big favourite of mine – particularly Spain, France (where I was lucky enough to study) and the Greek Islands. I also visited for the first time this year Mexico and it was certainly love at first sight. Those beaches just blow your mind! In fact, if you are looking for something special in Mexico I will let you into a little secret - please just ask and I will be delighted to share!So hopefully you can sense I am passionate about travel and nothing would give me more pleasure than to create the perfect, bespoke holiday package just for you. Wherever and whatever that may be, I will make sure you get the best possible options to suit your budget. So, what are we waiting for? The world is your oyster and I am here to help you make those special, lifelong memories!

My name is Megan, and I’ve been in the travel industry for 10 years, working in multiple departments from Admin and Customer Care, to Marketing, to Sales.Now owning my own travel business, I have two that keep me driven… 1. My obsession with finding new and unique properties, ships and experiences around the world 2. Using that knowledge to act as match-maker for my clientsI love the task of getting to know you, so that I can filter down our bank of over 750,000 hotels worldwide to your perfect match (…plus many more we can source through both household name and trade-only travel brands). I get to know what really matters, which booking sites do not; which airline your partner refuses to fly with, the fact your teenager has a huge fear of heights, restrictive dietary needs, medical considerations, and even just the “I hate buffets” stuff – All so I can create a trip around you.My mission statement is that your holiday is precious, both financially and emotionally – So with me, it will be built with you in mind, rather trying to shoehorn you into an existing package.My personal service comes at no extra charge to yourself, as I am compensated by one of over 300 holiday suppliers or 750,000 hotels I book your travel with – Giving me the freedom to shop for the product that’s right for you. Once booked, you will never go through to a call centre. I am available pre-travel, during, and post-travel for anything you may need, accessible by WhatsApp. Be that passport queries, airport parking, restaurant bookings, or *touch wood!* travel disruption, I am both your concierge and companion throughout.My hidden talent? I love the finer things, but also a fabulous deal. If this sounds like you, let’s chat!Areas of expertise: Japan - Maldives - Mauritius - South Africa - Thailand - Cruise - Unique Stays

With 30 years in the travel industry (and 19 running my own agency), travel isn’t just my job, it’s my life.My passion started young, when my parents moved to South East Asia for work. From sleeping in bamboo huts on remote Malaysian islands to staying with hill tribes in Northern Thailand, I learned early that travel is about experiences, not just destinations.After starting my career with Thomas Cook in my hometown of Peterborough, I set out to create something different, a travel service built on personal care, honest advice, and tailor-made experiences that truly fit each traveller.Today, my team and I plan incredible getaways for clients all over the world, from family adventures and romantic escapes to business travel with style.

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.

Hello and welcome, I’m so pleased you’re here.I’m Sally-Jo, your independent Travel Counsellor based in West Sussex, and I bring 21 years of travel industry experience to every itinerary I create. Whether you’re travelling solo, as a couple, with family, friends or as part of a special interest group, I take care of every detail so you can focus on the excitement of what lies ahead.Over the years I’ve designed tailor-made holidays ranging from relaxed summer beach escapes and winter ski breaks, to complex group tours focused on nature, culture, archaeology and charity challenges. I’ve arranged honeymoons, milestone celebrations, river cruises, long-haul adventures and golf escapes for clients who want exceptional courses paired with equally exceptional stays. No two trips are the same, because no two travellers are the same.I understand that people travel for many different reasons. For rest. For reconnection. For celebration. For challenge. My role is to truly understand your reason, then shape an itinerary that feels just right for you.My own travels span Europe, North and Central America, Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Far East and the Caribbean. More recently I’ve experienced travelling solo to South America and on to an Antarctic expedition cruise, a reminder of just how transformative travel can be. From skiing and sailing to scuba diving, independent adventures and family holidays, I draw on first-hand experience as well as industry expertise.As a Travel Counsellor, I have the freedom to offer something increasingly rare: genuine, personal service. No call centres. No endless online searching. No one-size-fits-all packages. Just thoughtful planning, expert advice and ongoing support from someone who knows you and your trip inside out.My business is built on relationships and recommendations. When you trust me with your holiday, I take that responsibility seriously. Your experience matters, and getting it right matters.If you’re ready to start planning, I’d love to hear from you. You can contact me by phone, email or arrange a face-to-face appointment. Let’s create something memorable together.
