01670 284130Hi, 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. -

0191 4328670Hi .... I'm Christine, 18 years a Travel Counsellor.My career in travel has spanned several decades. Before I became a Travel Counsellor, many of my clients will remember me from my very first job in travel working in Fenwick Travel Bureau where I spent 14 happy years before heading up our flagship Travel Agency in the newly opened Metro Centre. I then worked in two independent agents in Jesmond and Gosforth, the latter speacialising in group travel.As you can imagine, I have seen many changes in the world of travel. But I still believe that giving a high level of professional service is extremely important. Whether booking a single flight or a complicated tailor made itinerary, I strive always to pay the closest attention to my client's wishes. Travel Counselllors have given me the unique opportunity to do this with complete partiality and flexibility. Having my clients' best interest in heart means prioritising their needs and ensuring that with careful planning their travel plans meet their personal requirements. I have travelled extensively throughout the world and understand th importance of experience and first hand knowledge when planning my customers trips. One can never underestimate the value of first hand experience!I have travelled to most of Europoe and really enjoy city breaks. I hold a great affection for many places but my "go to "country is Italy. I holiday every year in this beautiful country and have travelled extensively from top to toe, taking advantage of their fantastic train network. Over the last 12 years my heart has also been captured by Classical Spain. My son lives in Madrid and I have grown to love the Spanish culture - so many medieval cities steeped in the most interesting history - there is so much more to Spain than the Costas !My travels also take me to many langhaul destinations. USA is another of my great loves, especially Arizona and Western USA. India, Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong, Cuba, Caribbean Islands, South Africa, Kenya, Australia - some of the many countires I have been very fortunate to visit. I have skied throught Europe and America and enjoyed cycling in Europe and Cuba.

01865 989130Hi, I’m Charlotte and I’m a firm believer that life is better with a holiday to look forward to.I have worked in travel since 2002 and have been a Travel Counsellor since 2009. I am also proud to be a Gold Travel Counsellor, which basically means I spend most of my time doing what I love: planning amazing trips for lovely people.I live with my husband, Richard, and our two boys, Jasper and Jude (and Woody the Cocker Spaniel). As a family we know how precious time away is, whether it is a simple sunshine escape or a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. I understand that every family is different, and my job is to create holidays that feel just right for yours, whatever that looks like.A few of my personal favourites:Thailand: our first big family adventure and a destination that has completely stolen my heart. Friendly people, gorgeous beaches, incredible food and so many special memories. New York: my ultimate city break. Fast-paced, full of energy and always something exciting to discover, whether it is your first visit or your fifth. Sri Lanka: my overall favourite. I fell in love with the culture, the warmth of the people, the diversity of the country and, of course, the food. One moment you are in lush tea country, the next you are on a beautiful beach or spotting wildlife. Cyprus: a destination that will always be special to me because it is where I got married.I have also been lucky enough to visit places like the Maldives, Australia, Florida, and many parts of Europe. I grab every chance I can to discover new destinations and experiences, so the holidays I design are based on real insight and up-to-date knowledge.I love hand-crafting every holiday I book but my favourite things to book are:Tailor-made and more complex itineraries Luxury family holidays and family adventure travel Honeymoons and special occasion trips Lapland and festive escapes Cruises Disney, Florida and theme park holidaysThink of me as your personal travel designer. I take the time to get to know what you love, what you are not so keen on and what would make your ideal trip feel extra special. Then I do the hard work, from researching and planning to those little details that make everything feel seamless.96% of my clients rate me 10 out of 10, and many come back to me year after year and recommend me to friends & family, which is the biggest compliment I could ask for.If you have an idea, a bucket list dream or even just a “we really need a break”, get in touch and let us start turning it into a holiday you will always remember. -

01629 888950Hello and thank you for visiting my web page. With over 25 years experience working within the travel industry I can honestly say that travel is in my blood. As a child my parents lived and worked in the Middle East so together with my siblings we visited many interesting and beautiful countries and so my love affair with travel began.After graduating from University I packed my rucksack and left for America. Together with a friend we worked and travelled down the East Coast following our dreams and creating life long memories. On return to the UK I continued my adventures and applied to become a ski guide in the northern French Alps for Crystal Ski. Like many graduates before me one season led to another and following a year out travelling in Australia and New Zealand I moved to the Austrian Tyrol to work as a customer service manager for TUI Travel. This is where I met my husband and our first daughter was born in the beautiful town of Kitzbuhel. After enjoying the next couple of years surrounded by the breathtaking scenery of The Austrian Alps we made the decision to re-locate back to the UK.I continued to work for the Tui Travel Group as an agent in Matlock, Derbyshire and built up over 13 years service. In 2014 I was awarded Regional Travel Advisor of the year and began to think about broadening my horizons and setting up my own business. As a travel Counsellor I believe in offering truly independent travel advice coupled with outstanding service. Over the years I have built up lasting relationships with my customers and pride myself on designing seamless travel arrangements based on first- hand experience and extensive product knowledge. Whether it’s a fun family holiday to the Balearics, a Caribbean cruise or a bespoke tailor-made tour of China I would love to help you with your plans and bring your dreams to life. “Travel is the only thing you buy which makes you richer” AnonymousI look forward to hearing from you and being an integral part of your journey.Kind Regards Sarah -

Last year I had a fabulous two-month tour of Japan, New Zealand and French Polynesia. Other favourite destinations in the last few years have been Antarctica (yes, it was amazing!), Costa Rica, Singapore and the Seychelles. I have had the privilege of spending a year in Australia and three months travelling in South America, visiting Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador (including the Galapagos) and Colombia. I combined backpacking with five-star hotels, trekked to Machu Picchu and boated down the Amazon - incredible experiences that will stay with me forever. I try to learn a few words everywhere I go and love to experiment with the local food, although being vegetarian, that has sometimes been slightly disastrous (especially in Japan!)I put my knowledge and experience into planning your perfect trip – whether that’s a weekend away in the UK, to a week in the sun, to the trip of a lifetime; let me take care of it to get it tailored just for you. I am an independent travel adviser and I want to get it right for each and every one of my clients, so there’s no hard sell.As well as benefitting from my expertise, you can rest assured in the knowledge that your booking will have full financial protection of Travel Counsellor’s unique Financial Trust, as well as being ATOL protected.

02071250008Hi and thank you for taking the time to view my profile.My passion for travel started back in 1993 when after six years of working for National Westminster Bank, I decided I wanted to see the world. I travelled to Africa, India, Nepal, Thailand, Mexico, Guatemala and finally Canada where I stayed for three years working in an art gallery in Toronto, and worked my way across to Vancouver with the same company.On my return to the UK in 1997, I started a position with Fidelity Investments but quickly realised my bug for travel was not satiated and in 1998, embarked on a trip to the Philippines, Fiji and Australia where I worked for St George Bank for nine months. I visited Guatemala for the second time travelling by bus through Mexico up to San Francisco where I stayed for five years. I travelled extensively across the west coast visiting Oregon, Utah, Idaho, Wyoming and Nevada and of all the places I visited, Lake Tahoe is my favourite. I returned to the UK in 2003 and naturally it made perfect sense to me to embark on a career in travel so I joined Flightcentre UK, firstly in the direct stores in New Malden, then moving to Sutton Surrey store where I remained until 2007. I was sent on numerous educational trips to destinations such as South Africa, New Zealand, Rio, New York and countless European countries all of which were fantastic and enabled me to gain an extensive knowledge of how travel operators and hotels work. I happily share this knowledge with customers and colleagues alike with the aim of benefitting their travel experience.In 2007 I decided to move to Corporate Traveller. I was spending more and more time with corporate clients, establishing their needs, cementing business relationships, making recommendations and thus making savings. I managed a number of very high profile accounts, examples including Aston Martin, BBVA bank, Celebrity Speakers, Circassia Pharmaceutical and many others and I always maintained the relationships with both bookers and travellers to a very high standard. I have won customer service awards and was the only consultant in the company to attend the Global Ball in Berlin in 2018, (runner up in 2019) based on customer excellence survey results and pride myself on the relationships I have with my clients. I have now embarked on a career with Travel Counsellors, a company founded in 1994, with full ATOL protection, over two thousand staff, full out of hours protection, Queens award winner three times, a five star trust pilot rating, British Travel awards winners and most important of all for me, a company with a truly holistic approach to customers and consultants. Our priorities will always be your safety and your travel experience.Kind regards,Brian Costello. -

That first‑hand experience means I can talk to you about how a place really feels, not just what it looks like in a brochure.For me, the most important part of my job is getting to know you properly: how you like to travel, what makes you feel relaxed, what excites you, and what a perfect day on holiday looks like. Once I understand that, I can design trips that feel like they were made just for you, whether that is a chic European city break, a barefoot‑luxury beach escape or a longer, more immersive adventure.I focus on premium, tailor‑made holidays with thoughtful details: beautiful hotels, seamless transfers, memorable experiences and the breathing space you often do not get in everyday life.

01442 817250Thank you for taking the time to find out a bit more about me.I have been in the travel industry since I left school and have been an independent travel consultant with Travel Counsellors for over 20 years. I have always had a passion for travel and with the best technology and freedom of choice, I can give you the most professional, stress free, personal service to plan and book your travel arrangements. Let me shop around for you to find the most suitable solution for your holiday plans or celebration trip. Unlike many internet sites, everything I book for you is 100% financially protected - no ifs, no buts. From a no-frills flight to an around the world itinerary, you can have complete peace of mind knowing that your money is in safe hands. During the recent Covid crisis we were voted the best company for customer refunds not once, not twice, but three times, which is a very welcome accolade. It’s not what we wanted to be known for, but when things do go wrong, we have a great track record of customer care.I have been to a different country for every year of my life, have cruised many times and been on-board most of the UK's favourite cruise ships. We did our first European river cruise from Budapest to Regensburg a few years ago. We visited Canada, the USA and Alaska for an epic 6 week trip in 2019. I have attended the CLIA cruise conference in Southampton to check out the new innovations in the cruise industry and I've since added ship visits to P&O's Arvia, MSC's Virtuosa, Windstar's Legend, Azamara's Onward & Virgin's Valiant Lady. I sailed on Celebrity APEX last year to Scandinavia - our first cruise North!Since Covid came into our lives it seems to have made most of my clients more determined than ever to make the time to get away. In 2022 my first overseas adventure was a tour to Jordan - which was great fun. I was invited on Celebrity Beyond for a trade promotional weekend not long after. Our first holiday in 2022 was an Azamara cruise around Croatia - a stunning destination and a chance to find out what happens now you can't dock ships over 25,000 tons in Venice! Our last major trip of 2022 was a last minute cruise around the Greek Islands on Windstar. We always wanted to take a trip on a masted ship and it was everything we hoped for and more. We also explored Athens for a few days before flying home which was easy to do and very interesting. In 2023 we added Seville, Haarlem (Netherlands) for Floriade, the USA, Mexico, Cornwall, Devon & Cyprus. In 2024 our biggest trip was a month spent travelling around California and Canada. The highlight was the Calgary Stampede which we followed with a leisurely self drive through the Rockies and a stop on the East in Montreal. Our first trip 2025 was to Abu Dhabi and Thailand and we ended our travels visiting Tallinn in Estonia for their Xmas markets. I was also lucky enough to visit Costa Rica through the tourist office on a business trip.For each personal & client booking I make I'm planting trees through Trees4Travel to help offsets the carbon emissions generated by our travels. So far I've planted over 1000 trees in Kenya & Mozambique. It's not a lot in the bigger scheme of things, but it's a start to making people more aware of what they can do to help regeneration & support local communities in developing countries.For an informal chat about your travel plans - at home or away - please call me and I look forward to speaking to you soon... -

01992 880030Hey! Travelling is in my blood, it has always piqued my interest and from an early age, my fascination in aircrafts and anything aviation became an obsession. My dream become a reality when I started what turned out to be a 17-year career in Aviation. A career which led to me working in various European locations as I fully embraced the “travel bug.” In 2007 I took the plunge by grabbing my backpack and heading to the shores of Australia, New Zealand and SE Asia. This adventure opened my eyes to a whole new world of diverse cultures, attitudes, celebrations, and people. In 2014 the opportunity for my family to move to Singapore came up and without hesitation we packed up our life and were soon living in the little Red Dot. The beauty with “travel” is that plans can change in a heartbeat, and our 2-year plan turned in to 10 years of living in the Lion City of Singapore. Here I continued my love of travel where I soaked up experiences in Cambodia, Thailand Vietnam, Indonesia, Philippines, Hong Kong, Maldives, Malaysia, and many more hidden gems. As a Travel Counsellor I want to share my love of discovery and experiences with other people, so that they too can embrace the true beauty of what is within our reach and to be captivated by our weird and wonderful world. Let me take you on an adventure. Jen“The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.” -Saint Augustine -

01788 670022Hello! 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.

I also work with leading travel brands such as Jet2holidays, TUI, EasyJet Holidays, Royal Caribbean, MSC Cruises, P&O Cruises, and many more, alongside specialist operators for tours, cruises, and bespoke itineraries worldwide.One service I am especially proud of is my Honeymoon Gift Registry. It allows couples to create a personalised honeymoon fund where wedding guests can contribute towards the cost of your Honeymoon. It is simple, beautifully presented, and takes one more thing off your plate during wedding planning.I also offer travel gift vouchers and experience gifts, which make a thoughtful alternative to traditional presents and create memories that last far longer than things.What truly sets my service apart is the level of care and attention I give every booking.

01784 780054My name is Meher Oliaji, and I learnt one thing from COVID. Working from home is easy. After more than 30 years running my own travel agency, Karnak Travel in Egham, I now have the support and innovative technology to support my clients while working mainly from home. This has been a new adventure for me, as a Travel Counsellor; still working for myself but now with the support of a large travel agency group behind me.With Travel Counsellors I continue booking with the specialist tour operators my clients have learnt to trust over decades. I can also go on doing what I love: building holiday plans and business trips which exactly suit my clients using flights, hotels, excursions, and activities sourced, negotiated and vetted by Travel Counsellors.My experience includes arranging complex tailormade itineraries and tours to Africa, Asia, Australia and America, but also cruises and stay-still holidays to the Caribbean, Europe, and even Newquay, as well of years of arranging business travel to some fairly obscure places.I’m thorough, careful and I try to ensure my clients won’t have to worry about anything because I’ve thought about everything beforehand.I would love to send all my clients to Seychelles, the most beautiful country in the world. But the truth is, since the world’s most perfect beaches were my childhood playground, my own trips have been less relaxing. I loved the grandeur of the Canadian Rockies, the seemingly endless plains of the Serengeti, the Great Wall of China, the ridiculously ornate interior of St Petersburg’s Hermitage. And I’ve wanted, since I visited 30 years ago, to return to Samarkand, now in a country that didn’t even exist then. Strangely, since my travel agency was named Karnak Travel, I have never been to Egypt.I’m quite a fan of group tours, which make seeing a lot really easy, but since my own first exhausting tour aged 19, called “8 Countries in 10 days” I’ve known the benefits of building my own trips and I’ve enjoyed recommending, planning, and booking for other people too. I’m hoping to go on doing that for my past clients and many future ones for a long time to come. -
