01925 950048Hi everyone, Welcome to my page! My name is Gaynor, and I live in Southampton, Hampshire with my husband, Paul !.From an early age, travel has always been a passion of mine, and whilst I started my working life in Retail, Travel was always a big part of my life - I was always the one out of my girlfriends to look for holidays, the one my parents turned to for 'where shall we go this year' advice, and then latterly the natural choice once I had a family with, 'Mum, can we go here?? ...' So imagine how lucky I felt when I was able to follow my heart, and I now have over 25 years' experience in the Travel Industry, with visits to over 60 countries and destinations! We're not meant to stay in one place, are we?....... Being able to travel and experience things beyond the 'everyday' is exciting - can be challenging - but ultimately fulfilling. We all dream of feeling the warm air on our face as soon as we step out of the plane, or that first step onto the beach feeling the sand in our toes, or the smells and tastes we associate with being on holiday and trying something for the very first time.......Which is where I can help - I can apply all my years of 'experiences' and help you fulfil yours, be it a fun-filled action-packed weekend break in that city you've always wanted to visit, a recharging break at a Spa or country retreat, that longed-for Beach or Cruise getaway, or even to tick off a 'bucket list' trip, I'm here, and I can make all those dreams of finding new places to explore, and new people and cultures to experience, become a reality. I will look after you from your initial enquiry stage to your return, every step of the way, ensuring the worry, stress and time spent trawling through endless confusing and unfriendly websites becomes a thing of the past !I'm also lucky to be part of an award-winning company that has shown how, and what it means to look after it's clients - we didn't come Top of a recent MoneySavingExpert Poll for nothing! Your money is safe with us - it's 100% financially protected in our Trust, along with ATOL Protection, and a flexible booking policy.You can also forget about long call centre queues, as you have a direct link straight through to me, 24/7, either phone, email or Social Media. I work from home, so I'm available when it suits you, so I guess you can refer to me as your very own Travel Concierge ! So, please drop a line when you're ready - I can't wait to hear from you !" A Ship In a Harbour Is Safe, But That's Not What Ships Are Made For......" John. A. Shed -

01223 929061I’m Laura, your personal Travel Counsellor, mum of two and long-time travel obsessive. I’m here to design journeys that really reflect you, your life and the way you like to travel.I’ve lived and worked abroad and fallen for places far away from the usual tourist spots. Over the years I have learned that the best memories come from real, everyday life; the tiny café you stumble across, the train ride where the landscape changes outside your window, the welcome you get in a small, family-run hotel. I love connecting my clients with those kinds of experiences, in ways that support local people and respect the places you visit.Slow, immersive travel is what I love most. I design trips so you can really get to know each place you visit, rather than rushing from sight to sight. My holidays are rich in local flavour and culture, but still feel comfortable, relaxed and easy to enjoy. Wherever possible, I look for choices that are more thoughtful for the planet too, whether that is travelling by rail, staying longer in fewer places or choosing partners who care about their communities.Family adventures are a big part of what I do. As a mum of two, I know the best trips with children are the ones where everyone gets to explore, try something new and still have space to unwind. I plan journeys that feel like genuine adventures, not routine holidays, with memories you will talk about for years.When you book with me, you are looked after from the first idea to the moment you arrive back home. You have one dedicated point of contact, recommendations shaped around what you love, and the reassurance of travelling with an experienced Travel Counsellor by your side every step of the way.If you are ready for something a bit different, I would love to help you plan your next adventure. -

01753 336 520Hello, my name is Nicola Donaldson and I have been a personal Travel Counsellor for 10 years, and I'm based in Windsor, Berkshire. I have more than 25 years experience working in the travel industry - prior to Travel Counsellors I worked in airlines and airports in the UK and overseas - and have spent seven years living abroad, most recently in Stockholm, Sweden and prior to that, six years in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.Of course I love to travel, but what I love more is to share that feeling with others, and see everyone experience and enjoy their adventures, wherever they are in the world. That's the major bonus of being a Travel Counsellor as you are helping people make their travel dreams become a reality. I want to help you make memories on your travels and by working with me I aim to make that happen - effortlessly and stress free. I particularly love organising travel that is a bit more complex - think multiple locations, island hopping, train travel and more. This is where my expertise really comes into play.Over the years, I've been lucky enough to travel to many destinations (54 countries and counting!) including the Caribbean, the USA, Canada, The Far East (Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, China, Singapore), India, Sri Lanka, Australia, South Africa, North Africa and Kenya and much of Europe and its glorious historical cities as well as the beautiful beaches of Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece and France, to name a few. I've even done a road trip from Sweden to England traveling with a cat and dog in the back of the car! So where else is on my bucket list? I would really like to explore South America. Argentina and Costa Rica spring to mind and I am trying to visit at least one new country every year. I'm a natural born organiser and have completed many bespoke itineraries to satisfy the tick-lists of myself and my customers, be they complex or more straightforward; luxury or shoestring budget; business or pleasure. It's another reason why I chose to become a Travel Counsellor. Having the knowledge and bespoke personal service that I can provide along with the back-up and support of the Travel Counsellors' team is a unique success formula leading to a lifetime of stress-free travel planning and making wonderful new memories.Please, don't hesitate to contact me with your requirements for your next trip whether it's business or leisure, UK or abroad.

01392 770 000Hi everyone!I’m a Travel Counsellor based in Exeter, Devon in the UK.I have grown-up children. We’ve spent most of the last fifteen years in the Middle East, where my husband works, and have used both that region as well as our home in the UK as our starting and finishing point for international travel.I’ve been in the travel business for many years and previously ran my own travel website, helping clients to enjoy the best destinations available worldwide. I pride myself on my ability to communicate with people and helping them to share my enthusiasm for optimising their travel experience with the right choice of destination. Advice on how to do that cost-effectively and without loss of quality is a vital part of my service.One of my personal favourite destinations is the Caribbean. What a place! Sun, sea, sand, great attractions, both day and night, and lovely people. People who have honed to a fine art the ability to extend genuine friendliness and a welcoming way to tourists visiting their lovely tranquil countries and idyllic tropical islands.I love my work as a Travel Counsellor. The satisfaction that comes from being able to advise my clients about how to get the best from their holiday aspirations is obviously a great feeling. At the same time, however, I’m aware of the great responsibility which rests on my shoulders when seeking to ensure that disappointment isn’t an option. Most people only have a few weeks a year to get away from it all and they want to spend their hard-earned cash on the best leisure experience they can possibly get. The number of clients who have returned to me again and again has given me confidence that I must be doing something right!I’m also proud and pleased to announce that my daughter, Sophie, has now joined me in the business and is looking forward to helping me to help you even more efficiently. She’ll be doing her bit to ensure your experience from initial enquiry to your completion of a wonderful vacation is as smooth and carefree as possible.So, if you want to make the world your oyster, from cruises to sun and beach destinations, or skiing and more adventurous holidays all over the world, contact me (and Sophie!) so we can get together to get it right.“To travel is to live” – Hans Christian Andersen -

01536 738370Hi, My name is Jackie Cook; I now live in Northamptonshire but have lived all over the UK and spent 8 years in France. I am married with one son who recently got married.I have worked in the travel industry for nearly 50 years. I have gained experience in different areas of the industry and have been very fortunate to have travelled extensively during that time. Living in France from the age of 12 gave me an opportunity which only later did I appreciate. I speak fluent French and started my interest in working in the travel industry. I joined Seaspeed Hovercarfts in Dover when I was 18 which then became Hoverspeed and this is where I met my husband who is from Dover. The summers were great down at the Hoverport but not so much in the winter!My next positions really became as I followed my husband with his job moves so in 1984 we moved to Peterborough and I joined Thomas Cook. Their training then was fabulous and soon became a travel agent for the first time. We then moved to Leicestershire and like my husband we joined Page and Moy where I stayed for 11 years until I moved to Travel Counsellors in March 2000My favourite European city has always been Paris, and some recent holidays have been spent cruising on a canal boat in different parts of France. Ask me more about that; it’s a wonderful way to relax and meet the locals. We do also love the Greek islands and have visited many over the years. This year was Crete for the first time but we need to go again as it is a large island and we only saw a small part of it.I have been fortunate in that the companies I have worked for have seen a benefit in allowing me to travel for educational purposes to countries I would never have expected to visit. These include Peru and the magical Machu Picchu, South Africa and Kenya on exciting safaris, the Caribbean, cruising (on ships as well as canal boats!), Thailand and Malaysia and many more. They even tried to teach me to dive in the Great Barrier Reef. (I did not pass but at least I completed the course!). The latest trip was to New Orleans, what an exciting city that is. If I have not visited a destination you may be interested in, the Travel Counsellors message board will allow me to find out the answers to your questions. Someone will know.When you call my number, it will be me who answers; this allows me to build up a rapport with my clients, who then return to me year after year for their holiday arrangements.We have a 24 hour duty office who are there at the end of a phone line when there is a hurricane , a cancelled flight, companies going bust at the last minute, helping us with clients who become ill or need to get home quickly. This is such a benefit to have when something goes wrong, but also they keep us updated with latest visa and health requirements. Please give me a try and I promise you will not be disappointed. I will offer to you the best possible professional service you could hope to receive. I look forward to hearing from you,Jackie -

I travelled independently from a young age too, visiting a pen pal in France at 14 and completing work experience in Germany at 17. Later, I went to university in Devon, spent a semester studying in the USA, then travelled and worked in the Philippines after graduating.Since then, I have been fortunate to enjoy incredible experiences across Asia, the USA, Africa, South America, Australia and Europe. I love immersing myself in different cultures and meeting local people wherever I go.I am happiest when I am planning my next adventure or writing a list for an upcoming trip. I love being outdoors and keeping fit, and my husband and I often take off in our campervan to explore the beautiful countryside. I also enjoy writing, especially travel blogs. The only thing I do not love about travelling is having to leave my lovely cats behind!If you are starting to think about your next holiday or adventure, I would be delighted to help.I can’t wait to hear from you. -

If I had to choose my favourite country then it has to be Spain. I just adore Spain, which I think started from my childhood from the fabulous family holidays we had but then I went on to study Spanish at School, College and then University where I spent each summer working a full season in the gorgeous sunshine. My Uni Placement was in a Spanish Travel Agency and then my first job after Uni was with Iberia Airlines where I spent 3.5 fabulous year and my career had only just begun. Fortunately for me, my parents have an apartment on the South Coast, so I get to spend a lot of time in Andalucia. Aside from Spain, I am a big skier and have had the pleasure of skiing in the Alps, Pyrenees, Sierra Nevada, Milky Way. I haven’t just restricted myself to Europe, I have been to various US States, UAE, Mauritius, Seychelles, Malaysia, Vietnam, South Africa & the Caribbean.I love a good City Break, a beach holiday, a touring holiday, winter break, a cruise – you name it, I love it. Pinch me trips for meare always my ski trips but I loved Lapland and still get goosebumps from the South African Safari. I have a team I work with here at Travel Counsellors who all specialise in different countries and products, so no matter what your dream is for your next trip, please do speak to me, so I can make sure they come true. You will also have peace of mind knowing that you have the security of booking via a reputable company like Travel Counsellors who are there for you pre trip, during and post trip and more importantly around the clock when anything unpredicatble happens.

0203 627 2660It’s Lovely to Meet YouI’m Jenny, an independent Travel Counsellor based in Whetstone, North London. I’ve worked in travel for over 20 years and have been running my own travel business for the past nine years, helping clients plan holidays and trips that are well thought out, personal, and genuinely enjoyable from start to finish.I believe travel planning should feel exciting, not overwhelming. My role is to take the stress away, handle the details, and make sure everything runs smoothly. I work closely with my clients, getting to know what they like (and what they don’t), so every trip is tailored properly rather than feeling like a one-size-fits-all booking.My love of travel started early thanks to my parents, who made sure we travelled abroad every year. At 20, I headed off on my first big adventure to Thailand, followed by a year living and working in Sydney. On the way home I travelled through Fiji, Hawaii, LA and Las Vegas — which completely cemented my love for seeing the world.I began my career with a Modern Apprenticeship at Thomas Cook, before spending ten years at Flight Centre in London. During that time, I gained solid experience in tailor-made, business and long-haul travel, and was lucky enough to visit some incredible places, including Tanzania on safari, Zanzibar, and the US.In 2008, my husband and I travelled through South and Central America — from Brazil and Argentina to Peru, Bolivia and Costa Rica — trekking the Inca Trail and experiencing some truly unforgettable moments along the way. Those trips shaped the way I plan travel today: focusing on experiences, not just destinations.Now we travel as a family of five, with three teenagers, and our trips range from skiing holidays and European breaks to long-haul adventures like Australia, Dubai and next year we are off to Asia. Travelling with teens has given me a very practical understanding of what works (and what doesn’t) when planning family holidays — especially when comfort, pace and flexibility matter.Whether you’re planning a big trip, a special celebration, or simply want someone you trust to organise your travel properly, I’d love to help. Just get in touch with your ideas and we’ll take it from there.Jenny -

South Africa, California, Belize and Thailand being particular favourites.

01422 893450I am an experienced travel agent in Halifax and specialise in tailor making itineraries to suit all budgets. I have been a travel agent for 26 years. I joined Travel Counsellors in 2004 and I can honestly say I have never looked back. I have just celebrated my 20th anniversary with Travel Counsellors. I have been on many holidays and educational trips which include most of the Greek Islands, Portugal, Cyprus, Spain, Canary Islands, Turkey, Paris, Barcelona, Venice, Florence, Prague, Dublin, Jersey, Miami, California, New York, Antigua, Dubai, Doha, Bermuda, Antigua, Jamaica and I have been on many cruises and sailing holidays. I have just returned from a fantastic trip to Thailand, wow! What an amazing holiday. The food and hospitality were wonderful but the heart of the experience was the Thai people. I also visited an elephant sanctuary which was a beautiful and humbling encounter.My favourite place I have visited with my family so far is Santorini. It has to be the prettiest place I have ever seen and serves the most delicious cuisine. I would love to visit South Africa which I plan to do sometime in the near future. I love being a Travel Counsellor because I can spend time finding my customers the right holiday, without any targets to meet or any directional selling. The technology I have is fantastic and enables me to search a number of airlines and suppliers at my fingertips. I have a vast knowledge of travel and specialise in tailor-making holidays anywhere in the world. Working from home means I am available at a time to suit my customers, including evenings and weekend. Importantly I pride myself on the high level of service I provide my customers and the friendships and trust that have been formed. My clients come back to me time after time for all their travel needs because they are so happy with the service they receive. I hope to hear from you soon. -

01778 338530About me Hello, I am Clare, your personal Travel Counsellor.I have worked in travel for 33 years and spent more than 20 of those running my own business with Travel Counsellors. In that time I have helped clients with everything from simple weekends away to once‑in‑a‑lifetime adventures, always with the same aim: to make travel feel exciting, effortless and completely tailored to you.My love of travel started in childhood when my family moved to Germany and we spent weekends driving around Europe, discovering new places together. Those early journeys sparked a curiosity about the world that never left me and led me to begin my career in the early 1990s with Thomas Cook.Over the years I moved into luxury and long‑haul holidays and became a 24‑hour UK Duty Manager, supporting customers whenever they needed help. That role shaped how I work today: calm, caring and always in the background, so you never feel on your own if something unexpected happens.How I work I believe the best holidays start with a proper conversation. I will take the time to get to know you: how you like to travel, what you enjoy, what you prefer to avoid, and what a “perfect break” looks like in your world. From there, I design a trip around you rather than trying to fit you into something off the shelf.I work closely with trusted partners, hotels and airlines around the globe, which means I can often add thoughtful touches and extra value where it really matters. It might be a room with just the right view, a seamless private transfer, a special restaurant recommendation or a unique experience you might not have found on your own.You will have one point of contact from start to finish. I take care of the research, planning and organisation, leaving you free to simply look forward to going away.What I can help with Across three decades I have arranged a wide variety of trips, including:Relaxing beach escapes and winter sun Luxury tailor‑made itineraries and multi‑centre holidays City breaks, culture‑rich weekends and special‑occasion stays Ocean and river cruises, plus touring holidays Ski and winter experiences Family getaways, groups and milestone celebrationsWhether you are travelling as a couple, with family or friends, or on your own, I will build something that fits around your life, your budget and your priorities.Why my clients choose me Many of my clients have been booking with me for years and regularly recommend me to their friends and family. They tell me they value:My experience, honest advice and attention to detail The peace of mind of having someone they know and trust on hand The time and stress saved by having everything taken care of The personal touches that make their holiday feel uniquely “theirs”If you are starting to think about your next trip, I would be delighted to help you bring it to life.
