I’ll be on hand 24/7 to offer assistance both before and after booking.A little about me. I have been in the travel industry for 10 years now and have loved every minute of it. Previously I had spent 5 years as an insurance broker and 5 completing my HND with a large soft drink’s manufacturer. My 10 years in travel were spent as a travel manager for an industry leading agent. I then made the decision to join Travel Counsellors to run my own business enabling me to return to the core values of customer service that I endeavour to deliver on.I spend my time 50/50 on corporate travel management and tailor making holidays for my clients. No task is too big or small. I look forward to hearing from you soon.Ronnie

Welcome to my webpage!As a totally independent and impartial travel expert, I can assist you in organising your travel plans to pretty much anywhere in the world. I really enjoy matching your specific preferences with the best travel options. I love trying to make travel stress-free and I go the extra mile so that you don’t have to worry about anything other than enjoying your time away. I have over 20 years' experience dealing in bespoke luxury travel, working for a leading high street travel brand based in London. I specialise in flights in all classes, hotels, group and private touring, rail journeys, cruises, car hire to almost all parts of the world, as well as offering the latest destination, visa and immunisation advice.I ensure that I keep up to date with the changes in the travel industry, such as exciting new destinations, accommodation and airlines. I have a passion for travel and love discussing the variety of destinations on offer and exploring ways to reach them. Being unbiased and independent also allows me to source and recommend less well-known locations, places to stay and things to do.I have been fortunate enough to enjoy many travel experiences and styles. From backpacking to luxury beach holidays, short city breaks to longer group tours, motorhome trips to car fly drives, safaris to mountain climbing, cruises to train journeys. I love using my first-hand experiences to provide a tailor-made trip personalised for you. I was born and raised in Sydney, Australia and spent 4 years living in Greece. I eventually moved to the UK and have made London my home for the last 20 years. My university studies in Economics and International Relations first led me to careers in the senior civil service and finance. However, as I was constantly organising my own as well as friends’ holidays, it was natural that my wanderlust would lead me to work in travel. I like keeping fit by cycling, running and taking scenic walks. I enjoy watching rugby, cricket and football. I love the pleasure of sharing great food and wine, listening to music and discovering new experiences both at home and abroad. I look forward to hearing from you to discuss your future travel plans. Please do not hesitate to call or email me about your next trip!

Hello, my name is Laura and I am based in West Byfleet, Surrey.My passion for travel started back on 9th May 1995 (that’s right – I remember the exact date!) I was 11 years old and I went on my first long haul flight to Florida. I loved the whole experience. The bustle of the airport, the flight, arriving somewhere I’d never been before, the food and then of course, Disney – I loved it all. I’ll never forget that trip – and come the 9th May each year, I remember “what a holiday!” that was. Money well spent, hey!Fast forward (almost!!) 30 years! I now have 2 children of my own and there is nothing we enjoy more as a family than exploring our wonderful world together. My passion for both travel and customer service is second to none, and having been disappointed on occasions with the service I have received, I’ve thought “I can do this so much better”. So here I am, opening myself up to you as your own personal Travel Counsellor. With the support of the award winning Travel Counsellors brand behind me, I’ll take care of all the details, and you take care of the memories. All safe in the knowledge that everything you book with me is 100% financially protected against supplier failure by either ATOL or the Travel Counsellors Trust, giving you absolute peace of mind. I pride myself on offering a full and comprehensive service. From short to long haul; luxury to low cost; multi destinations to all-inclusive resorts; from sun to ski… and sea to sand! Drawing on my own experiences having travelled extensively around the USA, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Australia and South Africa, I truly believe I can create the holiday of your dreams, whatever that might be.I like to think I have a ‘few’ specialist areas: • Japan. We lived in the heart of Tokyo with 2 small children who both attended the British School in Shibuya. This was a unique and incredible experience giving us the platform to explore this fascinating part of the world. • USA. From East to West coast; the Sunshine State of Florida to Music City in Nashville; to the lights and sounds of New York to Las Vegas; from Route 66 to Pacific Highway 1! • Disney. Having visited parks in Florida, Paris, and Tokyo, I know a ‘few’ things Disney! • Italy – extensively travelled from North to South. Skiing in the Alps, city breaks in Rome, Venice, Milan and Florence, to private villas in rural towns. • Australia – Perth and the wine region of Margaret River on the West coast… to travelling the East coast from Carins to The Great Barrier Reef; Byron Bay to Sydney. • South Africa - I’ve explored the Garden Route, from Table Mountain in Cape Town, the wine tours of Franschhoek and seeing the Big Five on safari. I truly love all things travel, and with me it really is personal. It's time to make your memories, so give me a call and let's get planning.

If you have trouble finding the perfect holiday or simply don’t have the time or energy I can help. My passion for travel began after buying my first Inter-railing ticket around Europe. During those four weeks I learnt so much about different cultures, cities and food. I was hooked! From that moment on I decided to work in travel and help others fulfill their travelling dreams.After graduation I worked for one of the leading travel agents in Kensington, London where I specialised in long haul, tailor-made holidays. My fondest memories were creating bespoke holidays for different people, with different budgets and different dreams; be it long haul, short haul, budget, luxury, backpack or family break.I have been fortunate enough to experience many different types of holidays, having backpacked around the world after University, had luxury trips whilst working in the travel industry, and more recently (now I understand what it’s like travelling with children) family holidays closer to home in Europe. Some of my highlights include white water rafting down the Zambezi river in Africa, paragliding and bungee jumping in New Zealand, walking the Inca Trail in Peru, a desert safari in Dubai and relaxing on the fantastic beaches in Portugal.I am delighted to have joined Travel Counsellors. In our increasingly busy lives I feel holidays are so important but we rarely have enough time to find the perfect one. I can help you. I am committed to using my experience and contacts to go the extra mile and bring together an experience that you won’t forget.I look forward to speaking to you soon.Thanks

Hello, my name is Natasha Ashford and I’m your personal travel expert, based in Barry in the beautiful Vale of Glamorgan. Travel to me is not just a career, it’s in my blood.I have 30 years’ experience of looking after people, starting my journey in an independent travel agency, before becoming a key consultant for 21 years with one of the world’s major high street agents.My life as a travel agent has given me the opportunity to visit over 30 countries and experience many different types of destinations and cultures. I even chose to marry on board a cruise ship in the Caribbean; and my passion is to create wonderful memories through all types of travel and holidays.I joined Travel Counsellors because I wanted to spend all my time focusing on you - my customer. My promise? I’ll find and create the travel experience that’s right for you - saving you the time and pain of trawling through pages and pages of holidays and flights; going the extra mile (and more) to make sure you get the perfect travel proposal.As I’m an independent Travel Counsellor, I can source many holidays, flights and other travel arrangements, using my valued relationships with a wide range of suppliers to give you something quite unique.What makes me different? Quite simply, I love a challenge. I love looking after people. I love the satisfaction of finding the right holiday. I love getting my teeth into a complex quote, a group booking, your wedding arrangements - anything and everything to do with creating special travel moments.Above all, I’m here for you. I’ll look after you from the moment you contact me. So you can rely on me to ease your journey throughout the booking process and sort out all the arrangements before you travel. And I’ll also be here for you if you need me while you’re on your holiday; and when you return. That’s all part of my personal commitment to you - and it’s also good to know that as part of a large and trusted organisation, every single holiday I arrange is 100% protected by ATOL or the Travel Counsellors Financial Trust. WANDERLUST-A strong desire or urge to travel and explore the world. “Because in the end, you won’t remember the time you spent working in the office or mowing your lawn. Climb that goddamn mountain”. Jack Kerouac.I’m looking forward to hearing from you!

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 Scarlett and I'm a Travel Counsellor based in Newcastle upon Tyne. Thank you so much for stopping by!Travel has been part of my life for as long as I can remember, from family holidays as a child to planning my own adventures the moment I was old enough to book them myself. That early passion led me to study Travel and Tourism as a school leaver, but life took me on a slightly different path… until 2021, when I finally joined the travel industry professionally and haven’t looked back since.Before becoming a Travel Counsellor, I spent much of my career in the legal industry and higher education administration – both roles where organising corporate and academic travel was part of my day-to-day. It was in those moments, booking everything from business trips to conferences, that I realised just how much I loved crafting travel experiences for others.Now, I help clients create travel experiences that feel truly personal – with a focus on sustainability, cruelty-free choices, and inclusive options for all. I’m passionate about making sure every trip aligns with your values, whether that means avoiding animal exploitation, seeking out LGBTQIA+ friendly stays, or finding destinations that prioritise ethical tourism.My mission is simple: to create meaningful travel experiences that are personal, inclusive, and aligned with your values. I believe travel should be a source of joy, connection, and discovery – never compromise. Whether you're planning a once-in-a-lifetime honeymoon, a family escape, or a soul-soothing solo break, I’m here to take the stress out of planning and replace it with confidence, care, and a touch of magic. Travel is more than a destination – it’s a feeling. Let’s make yours unforgettable.Since stepping into the world of travel full-time, I've had the pleasure of helping a couple arrange their bespoke dream honeymoon to Costa Rica, organising a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Minneapolis for a Prince superfan, and booking plenty of well-deserved weekend getaways to favourites like Benidorm and Tenerife. Personally, I’ve fallen in love with Mexico – my favourite Caribbean destination.I live in Newcastle with my partner Dean and our daughter Lilith, and I understand the importance of travel being both memorable and manageable – especially when life is full on. I bring warmth, empathy and attention to detail to every booking, treating your holiday as if it were my own.With Travel Counsellors’ unique Financial Trust protection, every penny you spend is 100% financially secure. I’ll be by your side from that first chat to safe return and beyond, making sure your journey is smooth, special and full of joy.Let’s make your next adventure unforgettable – I’d love to help you plan it!

Hello and welcome to my webpage!Planning your dream holiday should be exciting, not stressful – whether it’s a city break, a sun-soaked beach getaway, a cruise, or a fully tailor-made adventure, I’m here to make it a reality.I’m Carli, based in Gravesend, Kent, where I live with my husband and our two daughters. My journey in the travel industry began 25 years ago by chance, and since then, I’ve grown into roles as a Cruise Specialist, Disney Specialist, and Branch Manager. Along the way, I fulfilled a lifelong dream of working at Walt Disney World in Florida, where I spent a magical year in EPCOT serving beer and classic fish & chips at the British pub.After taking time out to be a stay-at-home mum, I was eager to return to the world of travel once my children started school. Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to explore incredible destinations including Australia, the Caribbean, Greece, Italy, and Malaysia. But my ultimate passion remains Disney holidays – and I’m on a mission to visit all six Disney Resorts (3 down, 3 to go!).I joined Travel Counsellors because I share their belief that personal service is everything. Your holiday should be seamless and unforgettable, and I’m committed to going above and beyond for every client.Whether you’re planning a city break, a family holiday, a honeymoon, or a destination wedding, I’d love to help create the perfect trip for you.Get in touch via phone or email – I can’t wait to start planning your dream holiday!

I’m Adam, your local Travel Counsellor and I love what I do which is creating and booking your perfect getaways. Whether it’s an all-inclusive family sun holiday, a solo adventure or anything in between I am here for you, your friends and family.My passion for travel started early when I backpacked through India and Sri Lanka, ending my adventure with a week in the Maldives.Since that journey eighteen years ago, I find solace in all travel whether it be dining barefoot on the sands of the Caribbean, wandering cobble lanes through historic European cities or the sensory overload as I take in the bustle of everyday life in the Far East.I feel very fortunate to have been to some incredible destinations so far and if I had to name just two stand out experiences, it would be India with Argentina & Brazil as a twin-centre holiday.I immersed myself into the backpacker way of life in India. Waking each morning with a loose plan of where I was heading, finding amazing eateries on side streets all whilst taking recommendations from people I meet along the way. I’m still mesmerised by the people, the history and culture of India. My first experience of South America was venturing from Buenos Aires to Rio De Janeiro via Iguazu Falls. One word sums up my experience, WOW! From the outstanding natural beauty of Argentina to the colourful festivities of Carnival in Rio, this is a trip I’ll never forget.I know just how important seamless planning, booking and travelling abroad is. I also understand the travel landscape changes and using a trusted travel agent makes all the difference. This is where I help, from our initial meeting the focus is all about you, your ideas and what will make your holiday perfect from the get-go. I can assist with hotels, car hire, flights, ski, cruise, fly & drive & island hopping. You name it, I will make it possible bringing your dream holiday to life. You can rest assured knowing whilst you are on holidays, I am only a phone call, email or text away, no matter the time of day or night. I am here for you.Your positive experience abroad makes being your Travel Counsellor the best job in the world. Please follow me on Facebook & Instagram where you’ll find travel inspiration, updates and news with amazing offers too good to be missed.I am excited to speak with you to bring your travel dreams alive.

My name is Jade and I am a Travel Counsellor from the South East corner of the UK. I have lived close to the coast my whole life, growing up in the seaside town of Ramsgate before moving over to a lovely spot in between the coastal towns of Margate and Broadstairs, where I now live with my partner and our two small children.I was bitten by the travel bug from a young age, as I was fortunate enough to go on lots of lovely family holidays across Europe and the USA. At twenty one I pursued a career in travel and became cabin crew for British Airways, flying all over the world, and landing in some places I had never even heard of! I lived the jet-setter life for a few years before deciding it was time to place my feet back on the ground and continue my travel career but in a new direction. After hanging up my wings, I worked for two high-street agents, Kuoni and TUI respectively. Both companies gave me huge insight and experience into all aspects of travel, from tailor-made adventures to package holidays and UK getaways, I gained so much valuable knowledge during my time on the high-street, which then eventually led me to decide to take the leap and launch my own travel business with Travel Counsellors.I absolutely love being a Travel Counsellor, initially because I loved the flexibility around my children, but now because I love the freedom and flexibility I can offer my clients, too. I am not bound by traditional high-street hours and targets, and my clients like to think of me as their personal travel advisor in their pocket, as I am only ever a WhatsApp message or phone call away.Before I had my children I was a real culture-vulture. For my own holidays I absolutely loved to go off the beaten track and explore little-known places, however my current holidays are now more family-focused, and very occasionally I like to visit an adult-only gem for some precious R&R.There really is no limit to what I can offer, from once-in-a-lifetime long-haul trips to a sight-seeing city break, cruise’s and even a relaxing weekend here in the UK, I have the experience, knowledge and technology to enable your dream holidays to come to life.Everything you book with me is 100% financially protected by Travel Counsellors unique Financial Trust and our ATOL bond. I also do not offer a fee for my services.If I sound like I could be the Travel Advisor for you and you would like help planning your next getaway, please do not hesitate to get in touch. I love nothing more than a Whatsapp or email with holiday ideas and plans!I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Absolutely loving the waterparks, theme parks, all-inclusive, kids clubs, mini discos and the sense of adventure as we explore the resort and destinations. Just to name drop a few destinations I have encountered to various extremes Australia and New Zealand, Far East Asia including Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and Laos, Indian Ocean including Seychelles, Sri Lanka and Maldives, Middle East, The Americas including Brazil, Mexico, various Caribbean Islands, USA including Hawaii and Alaska and Canada.

Hi, thank you for taking the time to visit my web page. My name is Julie Welfare and I am your Travel Counsellor based in Walton On Thames. I have been in the travel industry for over 30 years. I began in local high street agencies and was soon putting together complex round the world itineraries for a major UK tour operator. I have had my own business with Travel Counsellors for the last 16 years. Travel is my passion; meeting new people and trying out new experiences. I have been lucky enough to visit many exciting destinations around the world; the USA, Mexico, the Caribbean islands, Hong Kong, Singapore, Bali, Thailand, Malaysia, Japan, China, India, Sri Lanka, Mauritius, Dubai, the Maldives, South Africa, Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific, as well as many destinations a little closer to home such as Iceland, the Azores and many of the popular skiing and summer sun destinations in Europe.Just a few of my treasured memories include riding camels towards a vibrant sunset at Ayers Rock, swimming in the jade-coloured ocean off Western Australia with wild dolphins swooping below us, marvelling at the view from the top of Sydney Harbour Bridge with a majestic cruise ship, blindingly white in the sunshine, gliding beneath the ironwork below, and feeling the surge of adrenalin as I launched myself off the original bungy bridge in New Zealand accompanied by the blare of rock music - the lyrics still make me smile and my heart race!One of my favourite holidays was to Africa where the highlights of my trip included a thrilling microlight flight over the magnificent Victoria Falls, almost being upturned out of a tiny boat by a hippo in the Okavango Delta and tracking a lioness on foot.I can help you with your dream holiday whether it is your Honeymoon, a holiday to celebrate a special occasion, or a once-in-a-lifetime round the world trip. My specialist areas are the Caribbean, the Indian Ocean, Africa, the Far East, Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific. I am proud to be a Premier Aussie Specialist. If you like the idea of having your own Travel Counsellor to take away the stress of booking your holiday then pick up the phone or email me now. I can offer you a first class personal service at a time convenient to you. Unlike booking through a high street travel agent or online you will always deal with me and the service does not stop once you have made your booking.I look forward to hearing from you very soon!

Thank you visiting my webpage. Just a little insight into my Travel Journey.... Packing our suitcases, stepping off the plane and sipping a cocktail at the beach or pool is my idea of heaven! It all began as a child (not the sipping cocktails!) when I first visited Florida and the ‘Magic’ of Disney grabbed a hold of me. It gave me my first cherished holiday memories and I have been fortunate to have collected many more since my childhood. We all love a holiday but over the years it has also become a passion of mine to find the best deals out there for myself and customers . This has resulted in trips to some fabulous countries and allowed us to stay in beautiful hotels, villas and apartments all around the world. My travels have included trips to Spain, Balearic Islands, Portugal, Greece, Turkey, Tunisia, Florida, Las Vegas, Mexico, Dubai, Singapore, Barbados, Antigua, Australia and New Zealand. I have probably forgot some along the way! I understand how important our holidays are to us and would love the opportunity to help you create lasting memories for you and your loved ones. I love nothing more than making clients happy, seeing their holiday pictures and hearing all about the amazing time they have, its the reason I came into Travel. A personal service is very important to me and I love to build relationships with customers along the way. This is the best way to give customers that dream holiday. This is truly a passion of mine and it would be a pleasure to help you find that perfect holiday for you.

It’s going to be an amazing journey!In my previous role as General Manager of one of the UK's leading accessible tour operators, Accessible Travel, I was able to establish a unique insight and understanding of how to create holidays and travel that meet the requirements of customers with even the most complex access and mobility requirements. 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.

Hello 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

Hi, I'm Grant - welcome to my webpage!I have 25 years' experience working within the travel industry, working for a well known UK travel brand. I started my career in Kensington, London, before relocating to the Nottingham area nearly 15 years ago. I have worked particularly in the field of First and Business Class travel, but am well versed in arranging all types of travel arrangements, individually building holidays for clients to all corners of the globe.My passion for travel has always been there from a young age, when my uncle who worked in the airline industry used to tell us tales of his travels around the world... his adventures struck a chord with me that never left. I set of on a journey around the world in 1999 which was to last nearly two years, and included over 50 countries with countless experiences - from snowmobiling in Norway, watching golden eagles swoop into Lake Dal in Kashmir, India at sunset, then sitting in Olympic Stadium during the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games.I have experienced so many different types of holiday, including several cruises, group tours, individual touring, motorhome holidays, beach holidays, which I think gives me a great insight into the holidays my clients are planning. My service includes visa advice for the countries you plan to visit, along with information on immunisations.My mission is to constantly exceed the expectations of my clients, be it arranging a meal on a mountaintop in Oman, or a special anniversary dinner at an underwater restaurant in the Maldives - nothing is too much trouble.I live in Castle Donington, Derbyshire, with my wife (who I met in Fiji 25 years ago during my travels...) and two children aged 15 and 13 years. My kids also now have the travel bug - in 2014 we took them to Australia for a month, where they had a magical time, getting around on planes, trains, boats, bikes... and even a helicopter on the Great Barrier Reef.So, whether you are looking for a short break to one the great European capitals, a cruise in the Caribbean, a trip on the Orient Express, relaxing on a beach in Mauritius, or the trip of a lifetime around Australia, please get in touch.I look forward to hearing from you - feel free to contact me during office hours or in the evening, at a time that suits you.

My passion for travel has led me here, making a career out of something I love and am passionate about. I am so excited to have this opportunity and to share my love of travel with you. I caught the ‘travel’ bug when I first went abroad on holiday at the age of 12 and have been hooked ever since. Some of my highlights include Desert Safari in Dubai, Iceland’s stunning waterfalls and geysers, Lembongan Island in Bali in a beach hut, helicopter landing in the Grand Canyon, Scuba diving in the Caribbean, cruising Norway and the Baltic, skiing as a family in Norway, driving down the West coast of USA and cruising Alaska seeing the beautiful glaciers carving and a pod of Orca’s hunting.

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?

Travel has been my world since I was 16, starting as an apprentice on the high street and working my way up to branch manager. Later, with Swissport, I refined my expertise in ticketing, check in, and caring for high profile passengers. Nearly 30 years on, my love for exploring the world has only grown. I’ve visited 65 countries (and counting!) and I still get the same buzz every time I set foot in a new destination.One of the true highlights of my journey was living in South Africa, a destination that stole my heart and continues to inspire me every day. Africa is my sweet spot: from the wide plains of Kenya’s Masai Mara to the winelands and coastlines of South Africa, I know how to unlock its magic for my clients. Whether it’s luxury safari lodges, hidden gems, or once in a lifetime wildlife encounters, this is where my expertise really shines.Travel isn’t just my job; it’s who I am. Every itinerary I create is crafted with the same excitement, thought, and detail I’d put into planning my own journeys. My speciality lies in luxury, bespoke travel, dream honeymoons, once in a lifetime adventures, or indulgent escapes designed entirely around you.I believe every traveller deserves the red carpet treatment. That’s why my clients receive celebrity style service as standard , the little touches that make a holiday truly extraordinary. When you travel with me, you’re not just booking a holiday. You’re embarking on an unforgettable journey, designed around your dreams and delivered with first class care.Let’s create your next adventure together.

Whether you are booking a quick trip to Europe, at home in the British Isles or planning something special long haul, I can provide you with a quality holiday or business trip with the great attention to detail that is vital in making the trip memorable.I have recently relocated, with my two children and two dogs, back to the UK to live in the beautiful region of Cornwall. Having spent the last 27 working in the travel and hospitality industry living and working in Greece, whilst spending many of my winters in Australia, becoming a Travel Counsellor has given me the perfect opportunity to use my wealth of knowledge doing what I love here. I grew up as a Captains daughter so travel was really in my blood and have always lived close to the sea wherever I have been. My parents were extensively travelled before we were even born and we grew up with tales of Singapore and the Far East, and the wilderness of the African jungle, with my father living ten years in South Africa. My own love affair with travel started over thirty years ago when I moved to Athens at a young age to start my adventures there. I spent many years travelling the country selecting accommodation for an upmarket specialist and have spent the last 12 years running a country retreat for walkers and lovers of the rural countryside on the island of Crete, and have an instinctive understanding of the needs of the more discerning and independent traveller.I look forward to helping you plan anything from the trip of a lifetime to a quick weekend away and can assist you with every aspect of your trip, as well as adding some amazing diversions to enhance any trip you are planning.Although I have contacts and knowledge of a great many places my expertise lies in Greece, I also have a vast knowledge of Australia having spent nearly 2 years of my life there spread over nearly 20 years.With the flexibility of working outside office hours and always being on the end of the phone, it is like having a personal travel agent in your pocket!

Hello, and welcome — I’m Miranda, founder of Seymour Escapes and a personal travel expert within the award-winning Travel Counsellors network.I create bespoke holidays that reflect who you are, what you enjoy, and what you want to come home remembering. Some people come to me knowing exactly where they want to go. Others feel overwhelmed by choice and just want someone to talk it through. Either way, my role is to make planning feel calm, considered and genuinely enjoyable.Think of me as your Travel PA meets Concierge — organised, detail-driven and very good at thinking a few steps ahead. From the moment you enquire to the moment you return home, everything is handled personally by me, with the support of a small, trusted team behind the scenes. No call centres, no off-the-shelf packages — just honest advice and carefully crafted itineraries.Through Travel Counsellors, I have access to a global network of trusted local partners and on-the-ground experts in the destinations I plan, backed by a five-star Trustpilot rating. That means extra reassurance, flexibility and support throughout your trip — and often a few thoughtful touches you wouldn’t get booking alone.Travel has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. My first solo trip was to Milan at the age of nine — I loved the VIP treatment from the cabin crew, less so the moment I was downgraded from linen napkin to kitchen roll after demonstrating my spaghetti-eating skills. I’ve been exploring ever since, from skiing in the Pyrenees and snorkelling in the Caribbean, to road-tripping across the USA, canoeing through the Thai rainforest and watching the Northern Lights dance in Iceland.Before working in Travel, I spent 15 years working in the television industry — a fast-paced world that taught me a lot about people, problem-solving and staying calm when plans change. Those skills now underpin everything I do for my clients.These days, I often travel with my young family, which has given me a fresh appreciation for holidays that feel genuinely relaxing — even with a toddler in tow. It’s deepened my understanding of what really makes a trip work, particularly for families who want ease, comfort and something special for everyone.I’m particularly drawn to hotels and local partners who care about protecting their communities and environments — not only because it leads to better, more thoughtful travel experiences, but it's important for the future of travel and our planet.If you’re planning something special — near or far — I’d love to help. Tell me what you love (and loathe!) when it comes to travel, and I’ll take it from there.EMAIL: miranda.seymour@mytc.comINSTAGRAM: @SeymourEscapes FACEBOOK: @SeymourEscapes LINKEDIN: Miranda Seymour

Hello and welcome to my Travel Counsellors web page, my name is Juli and I live in Clayton-Le-Woods, Lancashire. I am married with two grown up children.I have always loved to travel and wanted to be a travel agent since I was at school. I joined a high street travel agency not long after leaving full time education and spent twelve happy years there. I love everything about travel from the initial planning to the jetting off, reaching the destination and finally enjoying the holiday.As well as visiting the popular destinations across Europe I have loved travelling to various other destinations including Los Angeles and New York, Africa and over to the gorgeous stunning island of Bali, a road trip around California, Nevada, and Arizona taking in the sites of Las Vegas, Grand Canyon, Death Valley, Yosemite and San Francisco - definitely a bucket list trip.

With so much choice available these days, I can take the stress out of searching for the perfect holiday for you and your travel party. I pride myself on my exceptional levels of customer service, nothing is too much trouble and I will go out of my way to ensure every aspect of your travel experience is perfect.For me it’s all about creating the experience be it a Cruise, Safari, a Honeymoon, City breaks, Sports/School tours, Ski holidays, Beach holidays, Villa rental, Independent travellers, Twin (and multi) centre holidays or All Inclusive packages.

Welcome to Travel Counsellors! It's a real pleasure to introduce myself and I'm really looking forward to hearing about your travel aspirations!I had one dream as a young man: Travel the world to learn and experience as much about this beautiful planet as I possibly could. I began that quest by achieving a Diploma in Travel Studies and in the years that passed, the desire to fulfil my mission never diminished. I 'backpacked' whenever and wherever the mood took me and built my industry knowledge working extensively within the world of travel agencies, airlines and tour operations over many years. Experiencing life living in places such as Australia, Greece, Cyprus and 9 years in Spain only served to enhance this knowledge.Fast forward to present day and, as an independent Travel Counsellor, I now have the opportunity to give something back to my customers. Relying on decades of experience to help them choose, plan and execute their travel dreams is the greatest of pleasures. I care about what and where they book with me and I just love listening to their stories when they return home. Your holiday is my holiday too. My service is bespoke. It is tailored to those looking for a service that gives them an experience from the very first conversation and removes the 'transactional' nature of booking a trip. I have access to fares and pricing that are not always available to traditional agents and you're not restricted by 'pre-packaged' deals, which don't always fully cater for what you really want. Knowing that someone cares about your plans and is there for you throughout the whole process, brings you a service that is second to none.Finally, a Travel Counsellor booking is 100% financially protected. No ifs, no buts! Just peace of mind from the very beginning.Take a look at some of the great itineraries below for inspiration and/or send me a message about where your travel dreams are leading you next. I'd love the opportunity to talk with you about how I can help you turn them into a reality alongside industry leading service.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my page. I took my first holiday overseas at 13yrs old and I was instantly hooked. I will never forget the apprehension and excitement I felt in the lead up to the holiday, arriving at the airport, boarding the plane, the transfer to our hotel and most of all enjoying every minute in my chosen destination…..As soon as I left school I joined the world of Travel so I could work in an industry I was so passionate about and learn about destinations all over the world. I have worked in the Travel industry for over 30 years in a variety of roles. I have been extremely fortunate to experience so many wonderful trips across the globe, these include numerous Beach getaways, City holidays in Europe & Worldwide, River & Ocean cruises and some of the most memorable adventures worldwide, from snorkelling in the Great Barrier, back packing trips in South East Asia to a VIP 5* experience in Las Vegas, Los Angeles and San Francisco just to name just a few. Using all my experience and passion are vital ingredients to the success of finding the perfect holiday for you, but also taking the time to build a strong relationship and find out what really matters, I care about getting it right for you, for you to feel safe and valued every step of the way.

I look forward to hearing from you….

Hi, I’m Flis and I love to make people happy. A self-described ‘positive pants’, I’m all about the client journey and see all my returning customers as friends (who go on fantastic holidays). Based in Gloucestershire, I specialise in destination weddings and luxury honeymoons but am extremely well-travelled and have a good knowledge of where in the world to go at what time of the year. I am 100% invested in my clients having the best holiday and my main priority is to make sure we’re on the same page. You’re not just a number to me, so no matter how big or small the request, I focus on getting it done and getting it right - even if that means checking my customers in at 2345 on New Year’s Eve.'Create lots of holiday memories, because in the end you won't remember that time in the office...'Find out more about the holidays I specialise in over on my websitehttps://www.felicitybennholidays.co.uk

Hi, my name is Heather and I live in Standish, Wigan with my husband and our two children. I’m an independent travel consultant, creating bespoke itineraries to dream destinations. I have over 18 years’ experience working in the travel industry as long haul cabin crew for Virgin Atlantic, a career which afforded me the opportunity to travel all over the world. Having a young family and a husband working overseas, unfortunately put an end to my globe-trotting career, however I have recently put my travel knowledge and experience towards my business as a travel counsellor, allowing me to plan and organise your holiday at a time that suits you. Throughout my career in the travel industry, I would always take pride in providing outstanding customer service with acute attention to detail to ensure my customers always received a unique experience. This mindset is at the very heart of my business. I have travelled extensively with my work and also with family and friends from exploring destinations such as Borneo, Mexico, Australia, the Caribbean and Canada to the bright lights of New York, Las Vegas and Paris. I visit Dubai frequently and love to ski in the French alps as often as I can. My children adore all things Disney and Universal which is where we have spent numerous family holidays. Last year we extended our Floridian trip with a road trip to the Florida keys and Miami. Last year, I was fortunate enough to tick off a big bucket list trip on board the world famous Orient Express, travelling in opulent style from Venice to Paris was truly the trip of a lifetime. Being a Travel Counsellor enables me to provide a tailor made travel concierge service to my clients utilising first-hand knowledge of a variety of destinations, providing both value and peace of mind for the holiday you want. I am entirely self-employed which permits me to be available when my clients need me. Whether that’s in the evening or over the weekend and you will never have to communicate with a chat bot or a call centre, I will be there for you every step of the way, from planning your trip to answering any queries you may have along the way. I can arrange bespoke multi-destination itineraries, car hire, lounge passes, attraction tickets and much, much more. All that’s left for you to do is pack your case! Being a member of the Travel Counsellor family means I have connections to hundreds of suppliers including all major tour operators as well as smaller independent suppliers which can’t be booked online. Having the backing of Travel Counsellors also means all holidays are 100% ATOL protected, clients have 24 hour access to a support team should any unexpected problems happen in resort and all payments are kept in trust until you return from your holiday. For me, creating your perfect itinerary is more than just booking a holiday, its creating memories and experiences for you and you loved ones to cherish for a lifetime. So whether you’re looking to book a city break, a road trip or something completely off the beaten track, contact me today. It will be my pleasure to make your dream holiday a reality. I look forward to talking with you soon. Heather

Hi! My name is Helen and I live in Milton Keynes. I set up my own travel business after leaving my previous career in teaching. I wanted to do something that made people smile and after all, that is what holidays are all about. I was also blown away by the ethos of the company and the fact that with Travel Counsellors, it IS personal. I won’t try and sell you the holiday that a specific company wants me to sell. I will help to create the holiday that YOU want instead. As a Travel Counsellor I have access to destinations and experiences all over the world.I absolutely love cruising – both travelling and selling. A cruise is also fantastic way to holiday and I particularly love Northern European cruising and all things Scandinavia. I am also proud to be a member of CLIA (Cruise Lines International Association) with Masters Accreditation.If you've thought cruising is only for the older generation then it is time to rethink. My favourite, and most sailed cruise line is Disney Cruise Line. If you think they are just for families, then think again - the best cruise I did without the children was a Disney one :)One of my other top destinations is the Maldives which I visited for my honeymoon - absolute bliss! My favourite city destination is New York and I can give great advice on Broadway shows to see while you are there. One of my most travelled parts of the world is Scandinavia and whether you want to visit in the summer or winter, want a nature or city break, I can advise you on where to go and when.I can also help if you need advice when travelling with autistic adults or children. I am autistic and my son who is also autistic has grown up going to Disney and cruising. Both of these types of holiday can be scary for someone who is autistic and I can help you navigate things so you can be best prepared for your holiday.However, whatever you are interested in, big or small, I can help as I have a team of experts around me to draw on. I will listen to what you want and then create an itinerary that is perfect for you. I think the personal touch is really important and if you are local then I’m more than happy to meet you in your home or your office - or even a nice coffee shop. As I’m not in the high street I am free to work around you.By booking with Travel Counsellors you are getting access to a wider range of choice than you will with high street travel agents. You will also be dealing with me rather than a call centre. I will take all of the stress and strain out of the holiday from searching for amazing excursions to checking you in at your resort. We have people on the ground at resorts all over the world who will be there to help you 24/7: they are locals who really understand the destination. Should something go wrong you can be assured that our 24/7 team based in Manchester will sort you out if you can’t get hold of me.We are ATOL affiliated and have the best financial protection in the industry – during the pandemic every Travel Counsellor customer received a 100% refund. No vouchers here!I look forward to helping you create your next set of memories and fulfilling your travel dreams.

I hope my passion for the world and willingness to experience different cultures and places will pass on to my young boys.

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

My name is Elizabeth Shiel and I am an independent travel agent in Rotherham. I have been in the travel industry for 39 years. I joined Travel Counsellors in 2004 and before that I was a Senior Travel Consultant in a high street agency. I joined Travel Counsellors because I wanted to concentrate on offering my customers the highest possible levels of personal service and independent travel advice. I have many repeat clients who have booked with me for the past 39 years and have been extremely satisfied with my service and have referred me to their Family and Friends.Travel Counsellors is one of the largest independent travel agencies in the UK. 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.With my wealth of knowledge and the holidays and cruises I have been on over the years I am sure I will be able to assist you in booking your perfect holiday.

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.

Hello, my name is Louise and I live in Swinton, Greater Manchester with my little girl. I started my career in travel 19 years ago, after leaving school and worked my way up quickly from YTS to branch manager of a high street shop. In more recent years I have enjoyed working for a luxury tour operator and have been lucky enough to travel the world, just a couple of highlights would be island hopping in the Seychelles and a tour of Southern, Central and Northern Vietnam. I offer a professional, friendly and efficient service and coupled with the award winning technology provided by head office it really is a winning combination. I decided to join Travel Counsellors as I have built up fabulous relationships with my clients having looked after many of them for 15 years plus. It is really important to me that I have a true understanding of my customer’s needs and will take the necessary time to search until finding the perfect option. Travel Counsellors gives me the opportunity to work flexible hours meaning I am available at times to suit you. Being completely independent means I have access to many systems which is fantastic from not only a price perspective but means I can find the right product for you. I can help with any travel arrangements from the holiday of a lifetime, to your annual family holiday to a short break in this country. All arrangements are fully financially secure covered by not only ATOL but the Travel Counsellors Trust. I would love to hear from you for any future travel plans or advice so please get in touch by phone or e-mail and I will be delighted to assist you. I hope to hear from you soon. Louise
