    Starting my own business and setting up with Travel Counsellors is something that feels so natural, I wonder why I didn’t do it sooner. Having spent my career to date in events and luxury hospitality, I feel so passionately about delivering a personal service to clients to make their lives easier and less stressful. I love everything about travel from a fly and flop holiday to backpacking around the lesser known parts of South East Asia, travel has always been a part of my life and a true passion of mine.To me, the idea of having a Travel Counsellor that you know and trust, is like having a personal assistant to manage any and all aspects of what travel and holidays mean to you. Getting to know clients, understanding their needs and requirements, what makes them tick and learning about what they want from a trip is what makes me love doing what I do. For me, researching a new place or putting together an itinerary for a client doesn’t really feel like work and when I say I can research, I will find out everything there is to know to ensure it really will deliver what you’re looking for. As a working mum to 2 young children, having the flexibility to work when and where I want is also a dream come true. I am available to chat (on the phone or online) whenever it suits you, and where possible, would always suggest a meeting in person so I can really get to know you. In the current day, where life sometimes seems impossibly busy, and the internet, whilst it has it’s many benefits, can also leave us feeling overwhelmed and caught in a rabbit hole, I am here to take away any stress that booking a holiday or a trip away may cause. Taking time out of our busy lives has never been more important. Booking with Travel Counsellors doesn’t just mean working with me; you also have the full support of our award winning head office team so if there’s ever a problem, we are all here to support and make sure you get sorted so you can get back to relaxing. All bookings are ATOL protected and have full financial protection.Whatever the enquiry, large or small, I would be delighted to help so I look forward to hearing from you soon.

    Your holidays should always be amazing, not average or ok. I appreciate that most people just don’t have enough time spare in order to guarantee this by putting the work in themselves. As holidays are so precious they should always be perfect. I’m here to help ensure that this is a reality for you. My goal is to provide you the best customer service in delivering your perfect travel experience, whether that be a bespoke tailor-made escape or a package holiday in Europe: boutique hotels, Amazon adventures, 6* cruises, exclusive offers, close up wildlife encounters, or everything rolled into one! Travelling is a wonderful experience; I have toured cities, mountains and beaches across France, Spain and Italy, sampling food and wine along the way. We’ve been lucky enough to see elephants in South Africa, turtles in Tobago and Lightening McQueen at Euro Disney! Currently on my bucket list are visiting Polar bears in Canada, a summer family cruise, a snowy break in a castle in Scotland and a city break in Dubai. If you’ve got any ideas to share with me, I’d love to chat! I have long been obsessed with discovering foodie finds, so I can usually recommend a restaurant to anyone who is planning a trip, wherever you may be going. I’ve got a great recommendation for a fantastic Italian place in New York which was in Ugly Betty. In Toulouse I’d suggest going to an ex French international rugby player’s fab restaurant. In Madrid there’s a buzzing tapas market which is amazing. There’s a fantastic place in Krakow which serves Michelin food at pub prices, my list of recommendations goes on. I love adding to my list with my own experiences and suggestions from friends. Hopefully you won’t need to test me, but I do come into my own when problems arise. I’ve helped friends, family and customers to get out of some tricky situations all over the world! This includes helping my customers when: trouble began in Syria, a credit card didn’t work in Sydney, mountain rescuers were needed in France, and when the nanny of one of my customer’s phoned in sick while she was skiing. I understand that travel is important, it could be the two weeks you’ve looked forward to all year, it’s the trip you deserve after a career at the grindstone, it’s your honeymoon, and it’s your first break away from the kids. Whatever your trip, it’s important to me to get it right.

After living in London for twenty years I returned to my home county of Nottinghamshire where we now live a very different life in a small friendly village outside the pretty and historic minster town of Southwell.Before I became a Travel Counsellor, I spent twenty-five years in The City working in a demanding role for a global financial services company. Anyone who knows me will tell you that I have an absolute passion for travel. If I’m not actually travelling, I’m talking or reading about it, planning my next trip or advising friends and family with their own adventures. Being a Travel Counsellor and helping others realise their own travel dreams is my ultimate job.From my first ever overseas holiday to Malta aged ten and experiencing the azure waters of The Blue Grotto, eating fresh fish by the harbour and walking the hot and dusty streets of Valletta, I knew I was addicted to travel.Since then, through both work and personal life, I have been fortunate to visit over forty countries. From road trips through California drinking in the sights and the Pinot Noir, to snorkelling in the Maldives with the clownfish, to skiing corduroy slopes under vivid blue Alpen skies, to sunrise safaris spying lions in South Africa or gazing at Sydney Opera House; it would be impossible to choose a favourite. However, Bali and its charming people and Portugal and its vast expanses of golden beaches are both very dear to my heart.My whole career has been spent striving to exceed the expectations of highly demanding corporate clients. I’ve turned these skills to arranging bespoke travel experiences that perfectly match my clients’ requirements. I’m not tied to office hours so happy to speak at a time that suits you.So, whether it be long or short-haul luxury beach breaks; family getaways; exotic adventures; road trips; winter sports; honeymoons; cruises; exquisite city breaks or staycations; I’d be delighted to share my experiences with you to help you plan your next expedition be it near or far.So, what are you waiting for? Let’s go!“Travelling – it leaves you speechless, then it turns you into a storyteller.” Ibn Battuta

    Anneliese Billington-Price

    01293 230029 West Sussex

    Hello and thank you for stopping by my page!I’m Anneliese and I’m based in Ifield, West Sussex – just a stone’s throw from Gatwick Airport. When I’m not planning holidays, I’m enjoying life at home with my husband. We regularly care for two much-loved dogs: a miniature dachshund called Dobby and Brandy, a black lab guide dog. We love getting outdoors together – exploring the beautiful West Sussex countryside or heading off on relaxing UK staycations.My professional background has mostly been spent working in aviation. I have over 13 years of experience working in the industry which I now bring to my role as a Travel Counsellor. Travel has always been a huge part of my life, and now I’m fortunate enough to help others plan unforgettable journeys of their own. You may be wondering what inspired me to leave aviation and become a Travel Counsellor? It’s simple – There’s something incredibly fulfilling about helping others turn their travel dreams into reality, whether it’s a once in a lifetime adventure or a well-earned break closer to home. Some personal highlights from my travel catalogue include the Caribbean. We have an ongoing love affair, and I have been lucky enough to visit 23 different islands and destinations in and bordering the Caribbean Sea. These experiences have given me in depth, first hand knowledge of both popular destinations and hidden gems. Whether you’re after a luxurious beach retreat, a family-friendly break, or something a little more off the beaten track, I’m here to create a holiday that suits you perfectly. My other passion is Disney. I can plan unforgettable Disney holidays – from magical park visits and stays at Disney Resorts to cruises with Disney Cruise Line. Whether you’re planning your very first Disney experience or returning for another dose of magic, I’ll sprinkle some pixie dust to help make it truly special. So why choose me to book your trip? I believe that travel should be exciting, personal, and stress-free. That’s why I take the time to really get to know you, so I can tailor every detail of your trip to suit your needs and preferences. From the initial ideas to the moment, you return home, I’ll be with you every step of the way. Wherever you’re dreaming of going next, I’d love to help you make it happen.

    01282 792970 Nelson

    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!

    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.

From a young age, I was always fascinated by holidays and hotels.

Friends and family have sought my holiday advice for years knowing I do that extensive, in-depth research, demand high quality, expect good value, love lots of luxury and I know just how important holidays are!But here we are 7 years on drawing on those years of experience in booking my own family holidays - young kids to now demanding teens, I know exactly how important it is to ensure it meets everyone’s requirements. We’ve had many luxury holidays in Dubai, Oman, Maldives, Abu Dhabi and had equally amazing experiences, making memories travelling extensively in Europe and travel annually to Greece (as my father is Greek) so that country is dear to me. Whilst luxury has its place it’s also nice to experience the culture and the authenticity of a country too. I work from home, I have many local clients but so many are based all over the UK, some are abroad too. With 24/7 Duty office support, in-depth training Travel Counsellors and my growing passion for travel and lovely clients I really have the dream job!

    01205 220 034 Boston

    Hello, I’m Katie May – your trusted Travel Counsellor, based in the heart of Lincolnshire. Boston is home to me, my husband, our teenage son, a lively dog, and a muddy cob (horse, for anyone not in the know). Life here is full of energy and warmth – and that’s exactly what I bring to every holiday I create: a wholehearted commitment to helping you craft life-long memories.My passion for travel ignited as a solo adventurer in Australia during my first gap year after school. The travel bug truly took hold during a second gap year post-university, when I embarked on a round-the-world backpacking adventure with my then-boyfriend (now husband): we partied under full moon skies, lived on remote outback cattle stations, soared above the Grand Canyon, and woke to lions’ roars on safari under canvas.Since then, I’ve snorkelled in the crystal-clear waters of the Maldives, marvelled at the ancient majesty of Machu Picchu, and been immersed in the vibrant culture of India. These, and many more experiences have gifted me memories to last a lifetime and inspired my career helping others do the same. Years with a leading luxury tour operator allowed me to specialise in crafting journeys that truly mean more – from exhilarating ski adventures and sun-drenched Mediterranean escapes, to dreamy winter-sun retreats across the Indian Ocean, Middle East, and Caribbean. Yet, the Seychelles remains a personal favourite: a paradise where those once-in-a-lifetime moments seem effortless, thanks to icing-sugar sands and idyllic lagoons.As your Travel Counsellor, I’ll guide you towards a Better Journey at every step – whether you’re chasing bucket-list experiences, seeking total relaxation, craving cultural adventures, or longing for meaningful family time. I’ll help you build a holiday that sparks pure joy and creates life-long, joyful memories. My personal service and meticulous planning mean you can truly relax, knowing every detail is in safe hands.Because I’m a flexible homeworker balancing family (and muddy cob) life, I’m here whenever you need – daytime, evenings, or weekends. Let’s make your next holiday not just a trip, but the first chapter in a story of cherished new memories.Let’s start planning your Better Journey today. Get in touch, and let’s create life-long memories you’ll treasure forever.

    07732400817 Cheshire

    I chose an exciting and interesting career 40 years ago. Originally I managed a couple of high street agencies before becoming a Travel Counsellor in 1996. Being a Travel Counsellor has enabled me to visit some fantastic places. It's amazing to be able to pass on this knowledge when helping others to book their ideal holiday. Be it for business or leisure I can suggest destinations and hotels to suit your budget. Working directly with hoteliers and tour companies around the world I can create bespoke itineraries suited to your needs. I love arranging something a little different 'off the peg' itineraries. I've had a flurry of bespoke safari holidays recently, all of which I am told were amazing! I've also had the pleasure of helping a few 'solo' travellers which is great. There are lots of people in the same situation. Why stay at home, just go and make new friends on holiday.I have travelled extensively around the Med, USA and Canada, to name a few. It was in Lake Tahoe that I first learned to ski, and have since been to Italy, Austria and more recently Canada, so if you like something a little more exhilarating I can offer first hand advice. These days my holidays are often spent in Kalkan. I love the laid back pace of life and the local people are wonderful.I've had the privilege over the last few years of arranging a number of weddings and honeymoons which have been a great success! A wonderful start to married life!I had lots of holidays before I had my children but I am blessed to have had some fantastic holidays with them too, they're just a lot different. Pleasing them makes the difference between a wonderful holiday and one you would rather forget! Time spent with our families and loved ones is precious. We work hard all year round and deserve the best holiday possible to look forward to.Being a Travel Counsellor for almost 30 years has given me the best balance between home life and work. We all go to work to provide ourselves and our families with a good standard of living, but I am fortunate to enjoy my job so much that I never get the Monday morning blues! I am always keen to talk about travel to anyone that will listen! I pride myself that my clients come back to me year after year and I love to hear from them when they return from their holidays to let me know what a wonderful time they've had. I am available throughout the day, most evenings and weekends, so whenever you are free to arrange your holiday, simply give me a call or send me an email so you can find out for yourself why I have such loyal clients who simply wouldn't make their travel arrangements with anyone else.I look forward to being of service to you and your family!

Time flies ...but travel is my passion and runs through my veins... it's the industry that I love.I pride myself on attention to detail and I thrive on offering an extremely high level of customer service.

Who doesn’t love to take a holiday? I have been incredibly lucky to travel the world and my favourite destinations include Dubai, the Maldives, the Seychelles, Borneo, Thailand, the Greek islands and Melbourne, Australia. I’ve loved shopping until my feet ached in New York and I've waited patiently in Kenya to spot the baby elephants! I also have a passion for cruising and can share my ship-life experiences with you too; if you haven’t tried cruising before why not treat yourself to a taster cruise – usually two or three nights - on some of the world’s best cruise liners?If you are celebrating something special, why not make it a truly memorable occasion by asking me to organise your plans - I'll promise to add “whistles and bells” .... whether it be a family gathering at a UK hotel, or a special birthday treat abroad to tick something off of your wish-list, I can help you.

I am here for you; to hand-hold... and suggest the best ideas for you, that the internet definitely won't! I just need your preferred holiday dates and then I can get the ball-rolling for you!I look forward to hearing from you, best wishes and happy travelling! Lucy P.S.

    With almost 30 years’ experience in the travel industry, I look forward to helping you with your travel arrangements whether that be a short break in the UK, a weekend in a stylish European city, a cruise or even a round the world holiday of a lifetime.I live in Manchester with my husband and two children, my daughter Madison who has now graduated from University and is living the start of her adult life. Jaxon is my musical child playing 3 instruments (drums, guitar and piano) plus he competes in Trampoline.I have worked for various travel agencies. My first one was Going Places many moons ago, and I was bitten by the travel bug. I have worked for a large tour operator and also worked for a corporate business travel house. I left travel briefly to work in the family business, however I found I missed it terribly as travel really is my passion and when I decided that I wanted to go back, there really was only one company I would consider going to and that was Travel Counsellors. They are the best of the best. I have been lucky to have travelled a lot in my lifetime including Europe, Caribbean, USA including Las Vegas, which is one of my favourite places, Dubai, The Maldives, The Far East including Singapore and Thailand. I took my mother to Thailand for her 50th Birthday, she says it was a trip of a lifetime for her. I have been to Australia and the French Polynesian islands including Bora Bora where I worked as a holiday program presenter for a well-known Travel Tour Operator. I have done several cruises and I also achieved captain status award for Royal Caribbean/Celebrity Cruises and Azamara by completing all their product training. One of my ultimate favourite trips was Christmas Eve 2015 I took my children and my mum to Lapland to search for the real Father Christmas, it was magical.A lot of people ask me what my favourite holiday is to organise, and I have to say that an multi-centre holidays get me excited, trying to fit all the pieces together is like a fabulous puzzle. Travel Counsellors have a high standard of customer care and this is one of the most important things for me, I always will go the extra mile for you as my customers, so if there is anything I can do to make your trip even more special please do ask and if it’s in my power, then you can consider it done.A lot of people think using a personal travel advisor is going to cost them a lot more but I can tell you it doesn’t and the best part of all is you have the peace of mind of having someone at the end of the phone if something doesn’t quite go to plan and that is really priceless.I really do look forward to hearing from you and helping you your next trip whatever that may be or wherever that may take you.

    Hi, my name is Dawn Scott, and I am an independent travel agent from Edinburgh area. I joined Travel Counsellors because I wanted to give clients the very best personal service and travel advice which the company firmly believes in. I have over 18 years of travel experience working in retail and business travel and have travelled extensively around the world.

This means I can build your very own bespoke holiday and save you money! Which is always a bonus!Many people are still unaware that most high street agents are restricted in selling a limited number of tour operators but here at Travel Counsellors we are completely independent, and this allows me to offer you the best choices while benefiting from the buying power of being part of such a large company. I know that our lives have become busier and not everyone is free to discuss their travel arrangements during working hours therefore you will be able to contact me at a time convenient to you when most travel agencies are unavailable. Taking care of even the smallest detail is what makes our service so unique. All clients will benefit from a personal and professional service from the comfort of your own home.

Why I do what I do, what my core business values are and much more!I grew up in The Netherlands and I have been very fortunate in that I have visited all 7 continents before turning 30. I have travelled in many different ways from more adventurous off the beaten track journeys, to taking it slow in gorgeous seaside resorts. I have met amazing people along the way (including my now wife!), seen the most beautiful and dramatic landscapes in New Zealand for example. I got stunned by how raw and real the wildlife is in Africa and Antarctica of course (really feels like you’re in a David Attenborough documentary)! And I’ve been blown away by how beautiful cultures can breathe through generations around Asia and South America, for the better..In turn travel has made me want to inspire others to see the places they dream of.

In Chile is where I started my career in the travel industry. I now have a vast experience in creating entire Round The World journeys, completely tailored holidays from start to finish, island retreats, Honeymoons, Safaris, active adventure holidays and more.After 7 years of experience in the travel industry, creating bespoke experiences for an abundance of happy customers, I felt it was time to really start doing it my way.

Whether it’s weddings, group trips, sporting events, car hire, package deals, tailor-made escapes, cruises or long-haul adventures, I can take care of it all. I can also book TUI, Jet2 and easyJet holidays, so you get the best of both worlds: trusted brands and a personal service.I know Dubai and Australia particularly well, having visited many times, and I have a real passion for designing cruise holidays. But whether you’re after a laid-back escape or a full-on action-packed adventure, I’ll go the extra mile to make sure you and your family get exactly the holiday you’re dreaming of.By letting me take the stress out of planning, you can relax knowing everything’s sorted. All you need to think about is what to pack (and sadly, I’m not legally allowed to do that part for you).I’d love to help plan your next trip, so whenever you’re ready, just get in touch.

    Robbie Mullins

    07912963138 Bromley

    My name is Robbie Mullins and I am an independent travel agent in Bromley Kent. I have been working in the travel industry for almost 30 years. I joined Travel Counsellors in 2006. I wanted to concentrate on giving my customers the highest possible levels of personal service and independent travel advice.As your own professional 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 flights, 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 cheaper 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 and weekends.I love holidays in the Caribbean. The last holiday I had was in Turkey , in a beautiful five star all-inclusive resort. I have been very lucky to have travelled as a child, a teenager and as an adult, and now as a parent to an array of destinations worldwide. I am also a very experienced skier. If I could holiday anywhere in the world I would take a flight to Turks and Caicos( That hasn't changed not got there yet !) as I would love to lounge around on their beautiful white sandy beaches and swim in the clear blue seas, and also swim with the marine life. You too could be experiencing this!I can help you arrange any part of your travel arrangements – so whether you just need a flight to Barcelona or a last minute holiday to Florida I can help. I can also get you great deals on accommodation so if you need to know the best Paris hotels for a last minute holiday to France or the best Dubai hotels for a luxurious week away in the sun please contact me. Of course I can also help with any other travel arrangements you may have. I have lots of deals on Disneyland, Florida, Las Vegas, New York, Asia, Indian Ocean and I can tailor make any itinerary you require!One of my latest trips for a client included Japan Mount Fuji (Bullet Train) Tokyo, Auckland in New Zealand then round to San Francisco and Los Angeles. Also recently booked Vietnam& Cambodia lots of other trips ..Sri Lanka too along with The Philippines too! I also deal with lots of groups i.e. Hen and Stag parties, golf trips and honeymoons where as these can all be sealed on a very low deposit and a honeymoon account service which is paid for by myself and your friends and family can contribute to your honeymoon. It's then knocked off the balance of your honeymoon! Works great!My business is based purely on providing my customers with the highest possible levels of personal service and I would be delighted to assist you with your holiday plans.Please feel free to browse my website and read my customers reviews about myself as a person and as a business owner. I update these on a weekly to monthly basis. Deals are available to view on my website and these are mainly for information purposes and to get an idea on what I can offer. Although these prices are accurate, I can normally 9/10 times get better prices than what are on here. I can compete with most online companies and coupled with a personal 1 to 1 experience and an unrivalled service, I personally believe this makes me stand out from any competition out there! I have 100's of customers that also agree! Coupled with our financial protection you are 100% looked after in all aspects! I have a fantastic app if you are into technology whereas you can view all bookings make payments and or request and even book your trip via this also! I hope to hear from you soon.

    Hello! I am your personal Travel Counsellor Julie Morris, married with two children and based in St Ives, Cornwall. I am really proud to say that I really love my job!I have been helping my clients throughout the UK with their travel arrangements for 34 years. I joined Travel Counsellors in 2001 as I wanted to offer my clients impartial travel advice and obtain more job satisfaction by working for myself.

Here at Travel Counsellors we are completely independent and our state of the art technology allows me to search through a huge range of travel possibilities so that I can match my customer’s requirements exactly.Working for Travel Counsellors has allowed me to indulge my passion for travel and also to dedicate more time to my clients. People are often surprised to know that they can contact me at evenings or weekends, I believe it is important that my clients can discuss their holiday arrangements with me at a time that suits them. I believe that booking your holiday should be an enjoyable and exciting experience. My customers are always saying how delighted they are to find someone who will take the time to listen to them and offer suggestions, without rushing them into a hasty decision. I will do everything in my power to make sure that your travel goes according to plan, and have been rated 100% on our customer service surveys.One of my favourite destinations is Thailand and my ideal holiday would be a two or three centre holiday in the Far East. I have travelled widely to many destinations, including America, Kenya, India, Cuba, St Lucia, British Virgin Islands, Vietnam, Cambodia, Hong Kong, Australia, Fiji, Indonesia, European countries and most recently have travelled to Zanzibar in Tanzania.I offer the very highest level of customer service, so don't leave your holiday to chance.

    John Picken

    01670 284130 Northumberland

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