Hello, I’m Anita and I am your personal Travel Counsellor based in Worthing in West Sussex. I have lived in Worthing all my life and have been married to my husband for 40+ years. It has been a lovely place to bring up our 2 children, living very near the sea but with the South Downs as a beautiful backdrop. Our children have long since flown the nest and now I'm pursuing my dream and loving working within the travel industry.Travel is my passion and for as long as I can remember, studying travel brochures has been my hobby. At the age of 13, I travelled all over France with my parents and from then, the travel bug got me!My husband and I have travelled very extensively in Europe and the Mediterranean and have visited many, many countries including, Spain & The Balearics, The Canaries, France including Corsica & Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Germany, Greece & The Greek Islands, Croatia, Italy, Malta, Gibraltar, Turkey, Egypt, Israel and Iceland. Particular favourites have to be Valencia where we experienced Las Fallas, Menorca for a peaceful relaxing break, Crete for 2 weeks of the friendliest, most hospitable fun in the sun and Iceland for something totally different! Most recently, cruises have also become a favourite, loving being pampered and waking up somewhere different every day! Having cruised with many different Cruise Lines there are opportunities for so many unique experiences.In one way or another my entire working life has revolved around customer service, having been a Building Society branch manageress, worked in the event industry and owned my own Cafe. Giving my customers the best possible service is something that I have always prided myself upon and am very passionate about. So no matter what part of the country you live in and whether you are looking to book a short City break, a round the world cruise or anything in between, I can assure you that with the support of Travel Counsellors and their unique 100% Financial Trust and ATOL bonding, there is no better or easier way to book. Remember, that if you have any problems whilst on holiday you can pick up the phone and speak to me directly. I can assure you of my best attention 24/7 and I would love to talk to you about all your travel dreams and help to make them come true! I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi I'm Jenny and I've had a love of travel since my first time abroad age 13, when I was lucky enough to explore Tunisia.I grew up in northwest London but have since lived in Bristol, Kiev, Paris, and Hamburg before settling in Wiltshire.My career in travel began at 17 years old and I became a homeworking travel expert in 2009. I have over 30 years experience as a personal travel advisor and can organise any type of holiday experience tailored to your exact specifications.Discovering new places and different cultures still excites me and I am very fortunate to have visited most of the world, I would never adventure without my kindle and my travel wish list includes sharing breakfast with one of my favourite animals at Giraffe Manor, Nairobi.I genuinely care about every client's booking from start to finish, advising them to embrace the pace of the destination they're in, so they can fully relax and enjoy their time away. After so many years in travel, I believe that I can book any type of holiday but I do enjoy a challenge so please feel free to put me to the test.....

Hi I'm Lisa, a Travel Counsellor based in Kings Heath, Birmingham. I have over 20 years of travel experience, arranging tailormade itineraries all over the world - travel is my passion! As a home based Travel Counsellor I am able to dedicate my time to my client’s needs, meaning I am able to offer an unparalleled level of service at a time that’s convenient for you.

Then I'll put it all together so you have full financial protection for every aspect of your holiday, plus someone you can easily get in touch with any time you need to.I set off on my first big adventure in my early twenties, taking a year out to travel around the world via North America, Australasia and Asia, including living and working in Australia for eight months. Since then I’ve been fortunate enough to have visited many more incredible places and had some amazing experiences. It’s impossible to pick a favourite, but some highlights would include: trekking to see gorillas in Rwanda, sleeping under the stars in Wadi Rum, learning to salsa in Cuba, island hopping in Croatia, a coastal road trip down Highway 1 in the USA, wine tasting in South Africa, getting wet at Iguassu Falls and swimming in my private pool in the Seychelles. The last few years I have had 2 small children in tow, but they have been to Thailand, Holland, Portugal, Cyprus, Bulgaria, Slovenia and Iceland already, so I fully intend to pass the travel bug along!A client recently told me that booking her holiday with me was "like planning a trip with a friend who happens to be a travel expert"; that's how I want all of my customers to feel.Wishing you happy travels!

Hello, thank you for taking the time to view my webpage.I fell into travel as a profession accidently as it happens. In what was supposed to be a stopgap between a career switch, I found a position in a busy travel agency reservations department. That was 26 years ago. It turned out that was exactly what I loved to do. During those years dealing with customer requests & enquiries, one thing stood out to me, above & beyond everything else, what is most important; I hear you, the customer.Working collaboratively with the independent network of Travel Counsellors, I offer my own brand of impeccable personal service whilst leaning-into their reservoir of travel products. This enables me to select without favour to any suppliers, therein never be required to compromise on what is best for you. I have access to trade-level negotiated airline, hotel, transfer, tours, private jets, helicopter transfers; access to everything & anything travel related. I vet all products meticulously on your behalf so that all offerings meet your exact requirements & expectations.In me, you have your own one-to-one personal travel assistant and fully ATOL licensed bespoke tour operator. I do the heavy lifting, all the stuff that slows down your life:- searching, speaking to airlines, speaking to hotels/villas, checking terms & conditions, making bookings, making special requests. I offer guidance on country-specific border restrictions & regulations so that you can travel seamlessly.All payments are completely protected by Travel Counsellors' own unique trust-fund arrangement within Lloyds Banking Group whereby all monies paid are held & ring-fenced, so your travel plans & payments are fully secure.I very much look forward to looking after you.

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.

Hi,My name is Annette and as your Travel Counsellor, I am here to help you find your dream holiday.I am based in Oxford, a beautiful city, and I have worked in travel now for 25 years. Before becoming a Travel Counsellor in August 2000, I worked for a local independent agency and prior to that a well-known high street agency. In this time I have experienced a number of wonderful places including the Caribbean, South Africa, Dubai, Mauritius, Bermuda, Australia, Israel, the Far East, America, Canada and Europe to name but a few! Some of them have been educational trips through work.Whether you are thinking of a weekend break in Paris, a Honeymoon in the Seychelles, an Alaskan Cruise or a family holiday to Disneyland Florida, I have lots of information and helpful tips to make sure your next holiday is exactly what you are after. Importantly I can ensure I give you value for money. I benefit from being part of a large company so their buying power helps me to secure some fantastic deals. I am also independent so not tied to selling any one operator or supplier, so you’ll get more choice and end up with a holiday that is selected because it is right for you.My favourite destination is the Caribbean - closely followed by Mauritius and the Maldives. I am a Caribbean specialist and any chance I have, I try to expand my knowledge even further!! There is such diversity as all the islands are different, so you’ll find something for every taste. I have to admit that personally I go on a lot of sun and sand holidays. However, I also enjoy active holidays such as a South African safari. To stay at Shamwari which is Malaria free and then travel the Garden Route ending up in Cape Town is absolutely amazing!!I pride myself on my excellent customer service and commitment to finding the right holiday for you. I will always go the extra mile for you! The unique concept of having your own Travel Counsellor means you are able to arrange your next dream holiday in the comfort of your own home or office. You’ll always talk to the same person, and I’m available at a time to suit you, even if that’s a late evening or weekend. So whether it’s that dream holiday you have been promising yourself, a weekend break, honeymoon or a business trip - give me a call or send me an email.I look forward to hearing from you soon.Kind regardsAnnette

I've been creating memories for people for over 45 years. It was In 1978 I started my career in travel; and after a lifetime working in resort, hotel and travel operations management, today I am still here helping people who want to see the world do it with confidence, in safety and with financial protection.In the pandemic years, I looked after my clients with a "whatever it takes" attitude; reorganised travel, and made refunds promptly. In 2021 we moved forward, finally getting people to where they want to go and 2023 has seen my best year ever as a Travel Counsellor and I can only thank the hundreds of you who have placed your trust in me to manage your travel. I'm often asked what sort of travel I do - there is no definitive answer.From city breaks to ocean and river cruises, campervans, river boats, and yachts along with complex flight itineraries, group breaks and conferences. I've organised multi-centre itineraries to Italy, Croatia, Norway, Japan, Costa Rica, Chile and Peru, New Zealand, Australia, Hawaii, USA & Canada fly-drives, Sri-Lanka, Malaysia and Indonesia wildlife holidays including the odd orangutan and a Komodo dragon or two. I've planned complex rail and road itineraries across Spain, Croatia, Montenegro and France, and plenty of Greek Island hopping. I’m a globetrotter and have visited 72 countries. crossed the Pacific exploring Hawaii down to Tonga, Samoa to French Polynesia to New Zealand and Australia, sailed around South America, enjoyed the Indian Ocean, and made several Atlantic crossings, arriving into wonderful New York, and "inching" under the Verrazano Narrows Bridge as the sun comes up, glistening against the windows of the skyscrapers in Manhattan.And having worked in many ski resorts over the years in Austria and Italy, and also skied extensively in Switzerland and France, I'm also a bit of a whizz on ski holidays. I have my own FB page for ski enthusiasts - just type in "Ski the World with Vanessa" to find me. It's a haven for ski deals, ski chat and equipment advice and if you are beginner there is no better place to start !In 2019 I earned the Master Tourism qualification from the Japanese National Tourist Office - I've already helped many clients to explore this mysterious and exciting nation, by rail road, foot, bike and boat . with more unique handcrafted adventures planned in 2025 and a ski holiday planned for 2026.On the subject of snow, I'm also very excited to be planning yet another Antarctic experience for my clients with hiking in Patagonia for 2026, and more Australia and New Zealand itineraries and adventures in Fiji and French Polynesian !And, my specialist destination? Ohh its complicated because I know so many! I've been to Italy 28 times, worked there for many summer and winter ski seasons, and know the country exceptionally well; and over the last four years, have been refreshing my Italian language skills with some success. I look to find unique, and different experiences for my clients and I know that many of you reading this, will have come to me because you are tired of spending endless hours at your computer or squinting at your phone, worried about getting things wrong, unsure with what you are committing yourself to. More than ever, I know you are looking for that personal touch to travel, and not a faceless website devoid of human contact. My business is built on referrals and repeat business, and as a testament has quadrupled in size since 2019.Why not read my client testimonials below and then call me to start your next adventure ?I am more than happy to be available at a time that suits you, including evenings and weekends as my hours are flexible.Lets travel in 2025, do something amazing and make it a year to remember...

Hello there and thank you for visiting my web page – let me introduce myself. My name is Clare and I live in Cheadle Hulme, a small village in South Manchester with my husband, daughter and new addition a lively Springer Spaniel.I have worked in the Travel Industry for almost 20 years in both Leisure and Corporate and honestly cannot imagine working in another industry. I started as a Leisure Travel Consultant for a large high street chain which specialised in Tailor-Made itineraries but I soon realised that no matter where the dream I wanted to be the one to make it come true. This could be a UK Staycation, a weekend city break, annual week or two in the sun or a bucket list dream trip. I excelled in building long trusting relationships with my clients that saw them return again and again.I moved over to Corporate Travel following the birth of my daughter and used those tools of building relationships with my clients to ensure long lasting partnerships. There is no trip small or large or component of the trip that I cannot organise for your business.I am excited to be part of the Travel Counsellors family as this will enable me to offer a truly flexible and independent service. I understand that not all travel can be organised during the typical 9-5 so I am her 24/7 365 days a year. Travel is still my addiction and I feel blessed to have visited so many wonderful countries across the globe. I am currently at 42 countries and try to add a new one each year. I often get asked where is my favourite place and whilst it is difficult New Zealand certainly is a stand out country and it is my aim to get back there with my family one day.With my extensive experience and destination knowledge I look forward to working with you to give you the best Travel Experience.

Travel. Tailored by a human. Enjoyed by you. I work full-time planning travel. Let’s make sure you don’t have to. Based in London, I’ve worked in the Travel industry for over 20 years. Travel is the most enjoyable and most powerful learning tool we have as human beings. Travel enables us to learn about ourselves and the world around us. It bridges cultures, enriches lives and taking a break, however long, protects our mental health.Now for all the benefits that Travel provides, planning it properly can be confusing and stressful, and most of all TIME-CONSUMING! This is where working with a personal Travel Counsellor like me comes into its own.Travel Counsellors is a world-leading, award-winning, independent travel company offering 100% financial protection, 24/7 care whilst you are travelling and access to a community of Global travel experts, who deliver exceptional experiences, and great value to customers. We are experts in saving you time and lowering stress levels. From the minute you start researching, to when you get home. No one will put more thought and care into your travel plans than us. Booking with Travel Counsellors is not like booking with a regular travel agent - online or on the high street. Think of us more as your bank manager but for Travel, and obviously a lot more fun. Ensuring that you invest wisely, get the best value and maximise your time away. You always get to speak to a human – be that me or our wonderful support teams. There are no automated phone lines or call centres with Travel Counsellors. You speak with a human every time with your own direct line.I’ve been lucky to have travelled around the world many times over for both pleasure and business. I have lots of insights, recommendations, tips and tricks to share. If I had to pick my favourite destinations (it’s not easy) then I’d nominate Australia, South East Asia, the Far East, New York, California, Mexico, Italy and Greece. So whether it’s a multi-centre holiday, a trip with friends, a romantic trip for two, a honeymoon, a surprise birthday, a trip to celebrate retirement, an around-the-world adventure and anything and everything in between – I have the expertise to create your perfect trip, every time.EXPERT TIP: To get the most out of my service and expertise, and to save you lots of time in the long run, it is more effective and efficient to talk through requirements, rather than briefing solely by email. A conversation together will help us to capture your full requirements and enable us both to ask questions. So whatever your enquiry might be, I’d be delighted to hear from you by phone, email or WhatsApp to arrange to chat – and to see where this journey takes us!

Welcome and thank you for taking the time to read thisBeing a Travel Counsellor has been my dream job for many years and I’ve had the privilege to be able to work in the Travel Industry for over 35 years. I remain passionate about what I do and take immense pride in serving my clients to the very best of my ability in order to meet their specific needs and wishes. Overall, I am committed to going the extra mile in order to create the perfect trip to suit their requirements. Getting to know my clients is really important to me, either by phone, Zoom or in person. This enables me to gain a deeper understanding of what is needed to put the perfect holiday together. I work very differently to the High Street and the online companies and am able to work with you at a mutually convenient time but largely at a time which suits you. I also specialise in tailor made itineraries and bespoke holidays. However, I must stress that no enquiry is too small. Being a Travel Counsellor means that I work individually so you only get myself at the end of the phone or email. In support of my personal and focused service, we have a fantastic customer service backing from Travel Counsellors Head Office. This provides the Travel Counsellors 100% financial guarantee in that all holidays are financially secured. It’s a real privilege to work with an award-winning company and for one of the largest travel providers in the UK with 5 star Trust Pilot reviews and having been established over 30 years. Being a Travel Counsellor allows me to work independently with many tour operators, and as we have a trusted and long-standing relationship with many ground handlers all over the world, I can put together those unforgettable holiday moments for you. A key part of my job is to enhance and suggest amazing and awesome moments that will stay in your memories for years to come. A few examples which I’ve worked on include arranging for clients to sit amongst 100,000 king penguins in South Georgia, to ‘live local’ on Lake Titicaca in Peru, to island hop in Indonesia or to go rafting on the Zambezi River in Zambia. I can arrange all of these experiences and so much more. In addition to holiday experiences, I have also worked closely with groups and business travelers over many years. This is an important part of my service and I often work with bespoke needs for travel across a number of continents for both short and lengthy duration trips. I have worked through many of the challenging times which have impacted countries and the travel industry. This includes the impact of 9/11, the Ash Cloud, Tsunamis and of most recently COVID-19 and related Government travel policy decisions. None of us could have imagined the level of disruption on travel which we’ve encountered. I have been able to provide advice on changes to travel, respond to client needs and navigate through the range of often complicated policy restrictions. but being available for my clients allowed me to advise and rearrange around the restrictions in place, giving them the reassurance that they are not alone.I look forward to arranging trips for this year and beyond. It is a pleasure and a privilege to do the job I do. Travel has been a huge part of my life and I would be delighted to hear from you, whatever your travel enquiry. Finally, I am reminded of the words of Saint Augustine: "The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page".I look forward to hearing from you soonThank you

Hello and welcome to my travel page in 2025.I've been living in UAE and working as a Travel Counsellor now for 12 years. And I feel lucky every day to live in such a vibrant and culturally diverse country. That time has flown by and as my business has evolved, my experience has broadened, so I have so much to share with you. About the UAE which is such a great destination but also countries all around the world. There is always something to see and do here in UAE so if you fancy a visit please get in touch and I can help you plan.

I love visiting new places, both home and abroad and over time I have enjoyed visiting over 220 cities in 76 countries including beaches, cruises, cities, adventures. Trying new foods, meeting wonderful people, witnessing different cultures and experiencing all that the world has to offer. Like many people, I intend to travel much more in the months and years ahead. Both local, short and long haul.

I would like to welcome you to my page and introduce myself to you. My name is Jodie Rainton, married to Danny and we have 2 gorgeous children. I have had a passion for travel since I was a very young girl when I was lucky enough to sit with my parents whilst they booked our annual family holiday. I decided at that very young age the travel industry was what I was destined to go into. On leaving school I applied to all the local travel agents for a job and was lucky enough to be offered a position as a modern apprentice in a local high street store. I worked very hard in this role and I was offered a fulltime position as a travel advisor and have had a very successful career in the travel industry for over 18 years. I have always been an ‘A’ performer and very proud of my achievements. My passion and attention to detail when organising my own holiday is exceptional, and I would treat any customer enquiry with the same approach and enthusiasm. In the 18 years I have worked in the industry I have been privileged to travel to many foreign places, these include New York, Las Vegas, Florida, Cruises, Ski Holidays and many European countries, so I am confident my experience and product knowledge will assist you well when you are looking for you chosen destination. I can tailor-make your dream holiday, whether it’s a short UK break or a Worldwide holiday of a lifetime. I offer a personal service and can be available at a time to suit you, whether it is an evening appointment or a weekend, we are not set to shop hours so this flexibility is also an advantage. We cover all our holidays with the best financial protection in the industry to give you the comfort of knowing your booking is in safe hands. It will be an honour to look after you and all your travel requirements from your enquiry through to your return to the UK. I look forward to helping with your future holiday requests.

I am thrilled to have joined the travel industry. My passion from a very young age has been hotels and travelling. After studying a degree in Hospitality Management, I worked in luxury hotels for over 20 years, organising high end events. This has taught me that great customer service is all about listening to what the customer wants and exceeding their expectations. Being a Travel Counsellor allows me to explore far beyond what you can find on the internet. I have access to a wealth of local knowledge though Destination Management Companies. This allows me to offer bespoke holidays, ensuring you experience the true culture of your destination and above all making it a personal journey. I am here for you throughout the entire process of your holiday, from the initial enquiry stage right through to getting your feedback at the end of your holiday. I have the flexibility to be talk to you when it suits you.My zest for travel has taken me on some amazing journeys, from backpacking half way around the world to luxury cruises. I have been lucky enough to explore the depths of South America, experience magnificent safari and soak up the sun on some of the best beaches in the world. I can book any type of holiday that you can dream of from weekend breaks, to honeymoons, to cruises and everything in-between.I am privileged to be part of a global network of over 1800 Travel Counsellors along with support from our head office staff. I am proud to say that we have a 96% Customer Satisfaction rate and we offer 100% financial protection to every booking. We have support on hand 24/7 to ensure that your journey is seamless.I believe that once we immerse ourselves in to the culture, the people, the landscape and the food, it transforms us and we carry those memories with us forever. I believe that it’s important to make every journey incredible; from the initial booking process, to the anticipation of travelling and on to that magical moment when you arrive at your destination and it’s everything you dreamed it would be.

I am based in Crawley, near Gatwick airport. It is a fantastic location for me, being able to travel into London City, to Brighton for a day by the sea or even hop on a plane to check out a new destination. I live with my partner who works in the hospitality trade and our three young children, twin boys and a girl, who all keep me on my toes.My background started in the hotel sector before getting the travel bug. It all began when working as an international conference and incentive organiser. Arranging large groups of key workers for a trip of a lifetime. It was here I was able to experience cities and various destinations to their full potential.On to the next great adventure - flying, I decided to travel in a different way, as cabin crew. Time to see destinations I would not think to see and expand my knowledge in the aviation world. Whilst I loved this fast-paced lifestyle, I missed the structure and the chance to organise the trips of a lifetime for top achievers. I returned to event management here I was fortunate to travel to Asia and also experience the humongous A380 aircraft when it was first launched.After starting a family and not being able to travel with work as much I changed my job to become a travel expert for a luxury travel company where I was able to experience more European destinations and get a greater understanding of the leisure market.I have so many favourite destinations and all for different reasons but if I had to pick, it would be Singapore for its diverse culture and variety of activities there are two sides to this city and that is something you will have to experience by booking with me!Becoming a Travel counsellor enables me to be accessible to customers on a 24/7 basis, I can discuss your requirements at a time that is convenient for you.

Hi there and thank you for taking the time to check out my webpage. Let me introduce myself, my name is Lara Jackson and I am excited to say I’m a Travel Counsellor based in Cheshire. A bit about me: I am married with 1 teenage son and as you can imagine their passion is football but mine is very much travel so the more football they do the more travelling I do (it’s only fair) meaning I have been lucky enough to visit some amazing destinations over the years.Travel has not only been my passion but fortunately it has been my profession and since leaving education 20 years ago (where does the time go?) I have worked for some of the leading travel organisations in the UK dealing with a wide variety of different travel requirements from, cheap and cheerful breaks to tailor-made holidays of a lifetime as well as more recently diversifying into business travel helping companies making the most of what they spend on travel. I have always wanted to work for myself but at the same time I wanted to ensure I had the infrastructure to make sure I could offer the best deals whilst delivering exceptional service to my clients and being part Travel Counsellors has given me the platform to do that. I always go above and beyond and particularly in these uncertain times, like me, you’ll always want to make sure you can pay for your holiday with the confidence that should anything go wrong then you are 100% financially protected.So why book with me? I’m well-travelled, what I mean by that is I have travelled to over 51 different countries and 5 continents, including; Europe, America, Hawaii, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Cook Island, Asia, Kenya, India, United Arab Emirates, Indian Ocean, Caribbean, Costa Rica and Egypt. Also if you’ve missed a connection or lost a document there’s no need to be caller number 872 on a travel website’s customer service line, I’ll be there to assist you 24/7 365 days, I’ll always endeavour to find you the best deal whether it’s a 1-stop beach holiday or for every aspect of a complicated multi-destination trip. Travel means everything to me and I know your holiday does to you, it isn’t just selling you a holiday it’s hopefully the start of a long-term relationship so whatever your needs my aim is to make your trip as simple and stress-free as possible.Thanks for considering me and hopefully look forward to speaking to you soon.

Some people love adventure and prefer to get off the beaten track but others like to know they can experience new countries and cultures safe in the knowledge everything is perfectly organised before they leave. Some holidays are for relaxing on a beach and others are adrenalin filled, of course many are a mix of the two and more. I tailor all holidays to the client to ensure it is right for them. Most holidays are good, its time away from the stresses of daily life and spending quality time with those we care about, but I think it is about making sure that holiday time is the very best it can be. Advancement in technology has encouraged us all to spend hours online looking at websites hoping to see the perfect option, but can this ever really compare to working with an expert who does this every day? I am lucky enough to have visited 72 countries and work in partnership with 1000’s of colleagues who have travelled extensively too so I offer real advice and experience? There is no call centre here, you only ever need to contact me and I am available pretty much 24/7. Travel Counsellors also gives your investment the highest level of financial protection in the industry so your money is always safe.If it is time for your next trip please contact me and let’s make it happen…….

Hey! 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

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

If you are reading this, the chances are you are contemplating booking your perfect holiday or short break very soon. So let me tell you a little about myself...My name is Kay and I live on the beautiful North Yorkshire east coast in sunny Scarborough. I have been married to my husband John for 30 years, and we have one adult son, Jay. Being brought up in my parents’ family-run hotel, I learnt at an early age the importance of customer service. This continued throughout my career in hospitality. I have worked in 5* hotels in London and Harrogate, I was an Event Manager in Sheffield and also a Business Travel Consultant with a large manufacturing company. Here, I had to source the best and most cost-effective way of travelling from A to B, booking worldwide flights, negotiating hotel rates, trains, ferries, car hire - creating itineraries to ensure busy schedules were adhered to.I have been on interesting holidays - driven across the volcanic landscape of Fuerteventura and micro climate Gran Canaria, ridden through Holland, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, France and Spain on a motorbike, dog-walked through stunning Southern Ireland, enjoyed family holidays in Egypt, Kos, Lanzarote, Croatia, Crete, Corfu, Cyprus, Mexico, Dubai and shared the ocean with great whites in stunning South Africa! I have trapezed with Club Med in Greece, skydived in Florida, cruised the Med, driven along the PCH in California, seen the Northern Lights in Norway, lazed on beautiful Barbados and Mauritian beaches, experienced a traditional Hammam in Kalkan, enjoyed the culture of Bangkok, Koh Samui and Phuket, gambled in Vegas and swum with dolphins in Walt Disneyworld, Orlando - one of my specialist areas of the world!So why book with me? Quite simply, ‘it’s personal'. I care about ensuring your holiday is perfect from start to finish - there is no charge for my expertise and I'm available at a time to suit you including evenings and weekends. Rather than selling you a standard tour operator package, I can quickly search through hundreds of different flight, accommodation and transfer alternatives to find a bespoke holiday that suits your needs exactly. I also offer you 100% financial protection through the Travel Counsellors Financial Trust - guaranteed peace of mind. Travel Counsellors is one of the largest independent travel agencies in the UK. We are the only UK travel company to have been awarded the Queen's Award for Enterprise - three times now! So, if you are interested in a luxury Maldivian escape, a short fun European city break, a skiing adventure, meeting Mickey and Minnie in Disneyworld or taking a cruise or an African safari, contacting me will only cost you the same as a local call - alternatively just text, tweet, instant chat, Facebook or email me! I look forward to speaking with you!

I don’t know about you but travelling is like a collection of moments, a journey through time – journeys and experiences that become etched into the fabric of our memories. As we wander through bustling markets, stroll along quiet beaches, and marvel at ancient wonders, we are not merely witnessing the world but creating memories. These memories, like cherished artifacts, are carefully packed into the suitcase of our minds, ready to be unpacked at the slightest hint of nostalgia.The beauty of travel memories lies in their ability to transport us. A single photograph can unleash a flood of emotions, carrying us back to that quaint café in Paris, snow in New York, sitting having tea with the Bedouin tribe in Petra, queuing for the best street food in Singapore or just sitting on that sunbed with a cocktail – bliss! There is no doubt though, that planning that perfect trip can be a daunting task so if you are dreaming of embarking on your next journey, exploring new destinations, and creating unforgettable memories I’d love to help. I’ll work with you to understand what you really want from your next trip, research every aspect of your holiday and look after the complete booking process – from flights, hotels, activities and all the little things so you don’t stress before or during your holiday. My own passion for travel started when I was 16 – I managed to persuade my mother that it would be really educational to live in Paris (on my own) for the summer holidays and that started my wanderlust.

Hello and thank you for visiting my page.I’m Hannah Baldwin, your Travel Counsellor based in the UK. I’m excited to take the next step in my career and work for myself, building a travel business that reflects both my personality and professionalism.Before becoming a Travel Counsellor, I spent two years as a TC Assistant, gaining first-hand experience in the industry and discovering how much I enjoy helping clients plan seamless trips. I’ve also had a varied career in roles ranging from logistics and coordination to client care, HR, and recruitment, which have helped me develop strong organisational, communication, and problem-solving skills.I specialise in corporate travel, where my background in logistics and organisation allows me to thrive. From liaising with third parties and managing quotes, to coordinating hotel bookings worldwide, tracking spend, and maintaining booking systems — I take care of every detail so your business trips run smoothly.Travel has always been a passion of mine. As a former professional athlete and World Champion, I’ve been fortunate to compete, climb, and explore incredible places around the world, often in untouched and unique locations. These experiences taught me discipline, resilience, and adaptability, qualities I now bring to my work as a Travel Counsellor, ensuring every itinerary is carefully planned and every client receives a personal, high-quality service.I’m committed to making corporate travel efficient, stress-free, and enjoyable, and I look forward to helping your business make every trip a success.Warm regards, Hannah Baldwin

Hello there… Thanks for visiting the Travel Counsellors website and my page in particular. I found this Portuguese proverb the other day and it made me laugh - “When the boss is away, work becomes a holiday” - Well, that sorts out a few weeks of the year but what about when it’s your turn for a holiday? I’ve been a Travel Consultant for many years; and before that I trained and worked in hotel management so I understand that travel and holidays are thrilling purchases, and yet can be tinged with a tad of apprehension – have you chosen the right destination? Will it stand up to the glossy pictures? Will it be a good investment and provide you with happy memories for years to come? I can honestly say that by booking through me, with all the knowledge and expertise that I can tap into; we can get you just the holiday you want from package deals to tailor made travels. I absolutely love travelling and holidaying, so I’ve got plenty of personal information to help you make an educated decision as to where and how to spend your hard earned holiday time. Here are my top favourites: Las Vegas - love the adrenalin rush at the tables Dubai - breathtakingly opulent Barbados - for ultimate relaxation Key West - warm welcomes await and Key Lime Pie to die for What are yours I wonder? Let’s have a chat and sort out some great destinations, sights and experiences for you? I’m local to South Cheshire – and because I have independent status I’m on call to answer your queries whenever you need me – at home, or on your travels. It won’t be long before you are having the time of your life on holiday. I wonder if the boss will miss you…? I can also arrange all your holiday extras including travel insurance, foreign exchange, airport parking and transfers.

I am delighted to be celebrating my 22nd year as a Travel Counsellor. I have worked as a travel agent for over 32 years and as you can imagine there has been a great deal of changes in the industry, the accessibility and how we book our travel has changed significantly. My customers rely on me for advice, a helping hand and to take the stress out of planning and managing their travel plans.Travel Counsellors is a large, professional organisation and whilst I run my own business offering my customers personal service, flexibility and competitive prices, I have the backing of being a part of the Travel Counsellors team. The technology we use is outstanding and the Travel Counsellors financial protection is the best under the sun! It goes without saying I have a passion for travel & love going on holiday. So far this year, Italy, Greece, Thailand, The Maldives & Florida are extremely popular destinations. Last year I went to Corfu for the 1st time (I am a big fan of Greece) & loved the island, short flight from the UK. I went back to Majorca, a personal favourite short break & our family summer holiday was in gorgeous Kalkan, ideal for teens. I am celebrating my 50th birthday this summer so need to plan something special, I would love to go to Croatia....The world is your oyster & we are so lucky to have Europe on our doorstep offering so many interesting destinations and lovely sunny relaxing resorts.I pride myself on offering the ultimate customer service and I look forward to hearing from you.
