That single journey sparked a curiosity and excitement that quickly turned into an obsession with discovering new places, cultures, and experiences. From that point on, my goal was clear: to experience as much of the world as possible and to help others do the same.Fast forward to today, and I bring over 18 years of travel industry experience, having explored more than 30 countries, and counting. Along the way, I’ve learned that the best trips aren’t just about where you go, but how deeply you experience a destination. I believe travel should be immersive, personal, and unforgettable.I love discovering new cuisines, learning local traditions, and truly connecting with each place I visit. Whether it’s a hands-on cooking class, a guided day trip off the beaten path, wandering vibrant city streets, or unwinding on the beach with a cocktail in hand, I appreciate every side of travel. This balanced approach allows me to create holidays that feel authentic, exciting, and perfectly suited to each client.You can follow along with my travels, destination inspiration, offers, and real client experiences on Instagram at @travel_withkirstymarie.'It's More Than a Holiday, Its A Complete Experience'I set out to create something different for my clients.

HiThank you for visiting my webpage.My name is Emma Fillingham, I live in Telford, Shropshire and I have more than 23 years experience in the Travel Industry having worked for some of the major high street tour operators. Working in a busy high street superstore meant I wasn't able to offer the level of customer service that I believe people deserve when booking something so precious to them, plus constantly being restricted to what holidays I could sell led me to make the move to Travel Counsellors where I now work as a self-employed independent travel advisor.Travel Counsellors have major contracts in place with almost every tour operator, airline, hotel chain and travel company in the world, so whether you are looking to organise the trip of a lifetime, a round the world cruise, a short city break or a family holiday on the beach somewhere hot, I can be your personal Travel Counsellor and take care of everything for you meaning sourcing all of the best options and allowing you to book the holiday that you want and not the holiday that somebody else wants you to take. Excellent customer service has been the secret to my success in the industry, as your travel arrangements mean as much to me as they do to you. I will go that extra mile to make sure we get it absolutely perfect for you.I have travelled all over the world during my career and have been as far as New Zealand, Thailand, the Caribbean, Mexico, Florida, Egypt, Turkey and many other European countries, not to mention city breaks, cruises, and even Lapland to see Santa himself! This of course means that I have gained a lot of first-hand experience and would love to share this knowledge with you in order to make sure you get the perfect break.I have witnessed the pitfalls of booking online through sporadic websites and there is nothing worse than getting to the airport with no flight seats booked, no transfer to the hotel, or even worse no reservation at all at the hotel. It happens all the time, but not with me, as I will personally confirm everything for you prior to your departure.Please feel free to contact me when it suits you best and let me do the work for you.For me, it’s personal!Emma

Hi, my name is Damian Flower, based in Hook Hampshire, where I have lived for the past 14 years raising my 2 sons, now 25 & 21, with my wife Karen. Having been in the Travel Industry for over 35 years, and working initially in retail holiday travel, I moved briefly to Tour Operation, but I have spent most of my career working and leading teams in corporate travel. I have managed a large variety of clients in the Media, Apparel & Investment Banking sectors. In 2008 I was able to combine my passions for travel & motorsport, becoming the Travel Operations Manager at McLaren Racing based in Woking Surrey. Having married Karen who shares the same travel bug, we have been fortunate enough to travel extensively all around the world, but feel the Maldives for our Silver Wedding Anniversary was a favourite. Having worked in F1 attention to detail and 24/7 accessibility is my bread & butter, so being able to offer this on a personal level for you will be my pleasure as well as my job. I believe that “Life should not be measured by just the number of breaths we take, but the number of breaths taken away” So, I look forward to hearing from you soon, for all, and every aspect of your Corporate & Leisure travel.

Hi my name is Dan and I am a Travel Counsellor in London.I have successfully worked in the travel and leisure industry for 20 years and it is something that really ticks a lot of boxes for me.Discovering new places, meeting different people and cultures are important for one’s personal growth. Ever since I started working in the industry my eyes have been opened to a huge world out there to explore and helping people discover and book trips to those far off lands gives me a great sense of satisfaction in that I might have helped someone discover something new in this world.As well as leisure travel, I also offer corporate travel. I have honed my skills in designing and managing travel itineraries that optimize efficiency, comfort, and cost-effectiveness. From arranging complex multi-city trips to ensuring last-minute changes are handled smoothly, I thrive in fast-paced environments where attention to detail and adaptability are crucial.I started working in the travel industry in the cruise sector which brings to the table another exciting world of opportunities to see several parts of the world in one holiday. It is a unique type of travel that allows a customer to experience several destinations and cultures in one holiday. This was closely followed by the tailor making of unique holidays, custom made for the travellers so if there is something that you would like to experience more of then that can be arranged.Although it sounds cliché I would never book a holiday for someone that I would be averse to taking myself. One should always put themselves in the customers shoes and imagine, as best as you can, what they want to do and how they want to do it. One’s work is a reflection of a person’s personality and the enjoyment and success I have achieved in travel holds me in good stead so don’t hesitate to call for a chat to see what adventure I can help you go on next.

If you are thinking about a cruise or a carefully planned multi-centre holiday, you are in the right place.I specialise in creating cruise and multi-centre experiences that are thoughtfully designed around you. From Mediterranean sailings paired with boutique city stays, to Canada and Alaska journeys that combine rail and cruise, to Asia explorations or Australia and New Zealand adventures with seamless touring woven in, I bring clarity and reassurance to what can otherwise feel overwhelming.Cruising can feel deceptively simple at first, but the choices matter. Which ship truly suits your style? Is a balcony worth the investment? Are drinks packages good value for you? What if you choose the wrong cruise line? Do you need to fly the day before? And what about gratuities, Wi-Fi, visas, or insurance requirements? These decisions shape your entire experience, and getting them right makes all the difference.Drawing on two decades of industry experience, first-hand sailing knowledge, ongoing specialist training and strong relationships with leading cruise lines, I provide clear, honest advice at every stage. I explain the differences between cruise lines, ship sizes and cabin categories in plain English, so you feel informed rather than overwhelmed. I am here to help you make the right decision and book with confidence.For multi-centre holidays, I manage all of the moving parts for you. Sensible flight times, smooth connections and well-located hotels. Pre- and post-cruise stays that enhance your experience rather than complicate it. I take care of the logistics behind the scenes, so all you need to focus on is enjoying the experience.When you book with me, you are not just securing a holiday. You are gaining independent expert guidance, financial protection through the Travel Counsellors trust account, and one personal point of contact from enquiry to departure and beyond. If plans change or something unexpected happens, you have someone in your corner who will handle it.Many of my clients return year after year because they value having someone who understands how they like to travel, who is honest about what is worth the extra cost, and who takes care of the details.If you would like your next cruise or multi-centre holiday planned with care and expertise, I would love to help.

Holidays are: making memories, spending time together, having adventures, ticking off bucket lists exploring new environments, discovering exciting new sensations and travelling to places we once couldn't dream of…I understand that your time is precious and I offer a service that focuses on the details of your holiday to get it right for you and your travel companions - whether that be family or friends. With my years of experience in the industry and extensive travel history to places nearby and far-flung, I will add value to your holiday with personal recommendations you can't find by searching the internet.My attention to detail, passion for travel, and friendly, determined approach will ensure a smooth travel booking journey and will take the weight of "planning the perfect holiday" off your shoulders. My ultimate goal is to save you time and send you on a fantastic and memorable holiday. My collaboration with Travel Counsellors allows me the flexibility to access many different suppliers across the industry and offer you financial protection in uncertain times. This gives you peace of mind that you are in great hands, no matter what.On a more personal note, my passion for travel began whilst I was studying photography. During my time at university, I embarked on extended trips across Europe and Indonesia. Initially intent on travel photography, I spent 12 months on a round-the-world journey before realising that a career in travel - sending people on once-in-a-lifetime trips - was the way forward.Camera in hand, I have hiked the Peruvian Inca Trail, volcanoes in New Zealand and Half Dome in Yosemite alongside many other fantastic walks. I have dived the beautiful waters of Sipadan and the Gili Islands, and taken a heli-hiking trip on Mount McKinley in Alaska. I've sipped wine in vineyards from Europe to South Africa to North and South America. In more recent years I have become a Mum to two fantastic and full-of-life little boys who, alongside my husband, are now joining me on some of my travels around the world. This presents both new demands (and challenges) but I hope my passion for travel is passed on to them in the future and that their feet follow their heart as they make their own discoveries.I am based in Chelmsford, Essex and happy to meet up over a coffee to chat through your future holiday plans, or if time is short and a phone call is easier then please do get in touch to arrange a convenient time - I understand the demands of everyday life so I can be flexible and available in the evenings and on weekends, for a time that suits you.

My name is Sharon Messett and I have more than 30 years’ experience in the travel industry, including 20 working as a Travel Counsellor. It’s a role I love, as it gives me the chance to embrace my passion for travel on a daily basis, exploring new destinations through my research as well as returning to old favourites. I find it enormously rewarding helping my clients find the best experience possible for the type of holiday they want, whether it be a ‘flop and drop’ family beachside holiday, or a luxury retreat.I have been fortunate to have travelled extensively myself; including trips to Australia, New Zealand, the South Pacific, Southeast Asia, Africa, North America and the Caribbean, and have gained intimate knowledge of these long-haul destinations. Now that I have children, I am enjoying discovering more short-haul destinations around Europe including some amazing road trips with them to central Europe. For me, one of the best things about travel is the freedom that it gives you – travel brings anticipation, education, excitement and the joy of adventure into your life!TRAVEL WITH A CONSCIENCE My travels have also shown me the positive and negative effects of tourism; at its best when it is supporting communities who rely on visitors for their income, and at its worst where over-tourism has had a detrimental effect on locals and the environment. Over time, this has given me the opportunity to reflect, and I have realised that I have a growing interest in sustainable tourism. I would like to help you to find holidays and destinations which are amazing experiences and have a minimal impact or preferably offer positive environmental footprints.Travelling sustainably and responsibly is becoming increasingly more and more important for many travellers, and as your Travel Advisor I can carefully consider how to assist in building your perfect itinerary to make your trip kind to both people and our planet. I believe that sustainable travel also helps us to have more authentic travel experiences – visiting unspoilt places and immersing in the local culture is one of my passions, and one that I share with many of my clients.BOOK WITH ME AND I’LL LOOK AFTER YOU When it comes to travel, it’s important to know that you are booking with someone dependable, who you can trust, and who understands your precise needs every step of the way. The close relationships I build with each and every one of my clients, and the levels of care I can provide as your Travel Advisor, means that no-one can look after you better than I will. It makes me extremely proud to know that so many of my customers have recommended my services to their family, friends and associates. Being an independent Travel Advisor means I am not restricted to using only major holiday companies and allows me to create the perfect trip for you. Booking through Travel Counsellors also gives you security, as your money is completely financially protected against supplier failure by ATOL and the unique Travel Counsellors Trust.LOOKING AHEAD – PLAN YOUR GETAWAY I am sure that many of you, like me, want to plan a holiday for 2025/2026 - to have something to look forward to. Let me provide you with first-hand expertise and information to inspire your next adventure and let's see where the next year takes you.If you are unable to travel yet, then the next best thing to travelling is talking about it and planning it. Therefore, if you can't yet go where you want to just yet, let's discuss your plans instead. Please give me a call or send me an email and we can have a chat!

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.

Hi, I’m Amy. Mum to my adventurous two‑year‑old, Ruben, partner to my favourite travel companion, Ben. Travel has shaped so many of our happiest memories, from spontaneous escapes before becoming parents to discovering new places through Ruben’s curious eyes. Becoming a mum has only made my love for travel stronger. For years, the Maldives was my favourite destination. Then Mauritius came along and completely surprised me. That feeling of discovering somewhere that captures your heart is exactly what I want to help create for my clients. I’ve always loved the excitement of planning a trip, but I know not everyone feels the same. Many people simply don’t have the time to research every detail or the confidence to know they’re making the right choices. That’s where I come in. When I discovered Travel Counsellors, I realised how powerful it is to have someone in your corner who listens, understands and handles everything with care. Now I offer that same support to my clients. My approach is personal and completely tailored to you. I take the time to understand what matters most, whether that is relaxation, adventure, family time or a once‑in‑a‑lifetime experience. From the first conversation to the moment you return home, I handle every detail so you can focus on making memories. With full financial protection through ATOL and the Travel Counsellors Trust, you can travel with complete peace of mind. Whether you are dreaming of a far‑flung escape, a family holiday or something totally unique, I am here to make it seamless. When I am not planning holidays, you will usually find me chasing after Ruben, exploring new places as a family or daydreaming about our next adventure or simply having a pint in the local pub. So, let’s turn your travel dreams into reality and discover the world with confidence and ease.

I am here to excite you about your plans, but also to keep you calm and confident that everything is handled properly.I ask different questions on purpose. Why this destination? Why this year? Why these people? Because travel is emotional. It marks moments in life. And when you come back, I want to hear about the experiences that gave you goosebumps, not just whether the hotel was nice.I specialise in creating experiential, unforgettable holidays across places like Thailand, Vietnam, Australia, the USA (especially the Deep South), and Egypt.

Hi, I’m Becky, your personal Travel Counsellor.I’m based in Walkern, Hertfordshire, where I live with my husband, daughter and our dog. Travel and fitness are my biggest passions, and I love nothing more than combining the two: think sunrise hikes, mountain summits, and active adventures balanced with a touch of luxury and relaxation.I also love a challenge, especially when it means raising money for causes close to my heart. In September 2025 I completed a summit of Mount Toubkal in Morocco in support of Reuben’s Retreat, and this year I have signed up for a midnight marathon in April to raise funds for our local hospice in Letchworth. These experiences reflect how I travel too: with purpose, determination and a big dose of heart.Recent travels have taken me from husky sledding through snowy forests in Finland and exploring the cities of Sweden and Paris, to soaking up the sun in Turkey, Ibiza and Crete, and setting sail on a Disney cruise to Belgium. I’ve also hosted a group trip to Morocco, hiked the breathtaking High Atlas Mountains, and summited Mount Toubkal, the highest peak in North Africa. It was such a highlight that I am planning to host another group trip there again. Closer to home, I have enjoyed time in Ireland, Dubai, the Lake District, Norfolk and cruising on Independence of the Seas.As you can probably tell, I truly live and breathe travel, and I bring that same energy, care and curiosity to every itinerary I design.I am passionate about creating all styles of holidays: • Relaxing beach escapes where you can fully switch off • Luxury, long-haul adventures and tailor-made itineraries • Family and multi-generational trips that keep everyone happy • Ocean and family cruises with plenty of built-in fun • Culturally rich journeys that go beyond the typical tourist trailBecause I run my own travel business from home, I am fully flexible and work around you. You might find me working from a local café with my laptop and a coffee, designing bespoke itineraries and responding quickly when my clients need me.When you book through me, you save yourself time, stress and endless scrolling. I have access to an extensive range of trusted travel partners around the world, as well as valuable local contacts to add those special touches: from a memorable restaurant reservation to a private guide or a surprise treat on arrival.Every trip you book with me is 100% financially protected through the Travel Counsellors Financial Trust and ATOL, providing some of the best protection in the industry. You can relax knowing that your money and your holiday are in safe hands.With over 25 years of customer-focused experience, I pride myself on exceptional service and genuine care. I will help you choose the right destinations and hotels, share honest insights and recommendations, suggest excursions and activities, and provide all the pre-travel guidance you need so you feel fully prepared and excited before you go.My key specialisms include: • Luxury family holidays • Cruising • Tailor-made long-haul journeys • Multi-generational and group travel • Active and adventure-based trips, including hosted group hikesWhether you are dreaming of your next family escape, a special celebration trip or a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, I would love to help you bring it to life.

Hi I'm Michael, thanks for reading my webpage.I am a travel expert based in Leeds with 37 years’ experience and I offer a bespoke service tailored to my clients' individual requirements. I arrange group, leisure and corporate travel to all parts of the world. My areas of speciality include travel to Europe, Southern Africa (especially amazing South Africa where I can offer a range of unique, sustainably focussed experiences that no one else in the UK travel trade offers), and also the Caribbean, United States & Asia. I am committed to playing my part in seeing that travel becomes more sustainable. Tourism is a key driver of many countries' economies, and we need to ensure that the benefits of it are shared fairly. In partnership with UK charity The Travel Foundation, I have undertaken training on sustainable travel practices, and conducted research into this subject in order to develop a range of tourist experiences in South Africa. These are focussed on ensuring there is the maximum possible economic benefit in the destination, and that this is shared as widely as possible. I am also recognised as a South Africa Specialist by South Africa Tourism in London. If you're looking for something a bit more personal and bespoke than what the high street chains and internet offer, and if you like the idea of having a professional look after your travel arrangements, saving you time, hassle and money. please give me a call for a chat - or send a message from the link on my webpage.Best wishesMichael

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?

My StoryI divide my life between two very different yet perfectly complementary worlds: Henley-on-Thames and Hoedspruit in South Africa, on the edge of Kruger National Park. Both shape how I design travel, combining polished, personal service with an insider’s understanding of Africa’s wild beauty. I create exceptional tailor-made journeys that blend creativity, precision and deep destination knowledge. My goal is simple: to remove the stress from planning and give you access to the kind of experiences, insight and connections that only come from genuine expertise. Having travelled across six continents and spent extensive time in Africa and the Indian Ocean, I know the destinations I recommend first-hand - from visiting lodges and meeting local guides to exploring regions by land, air and sea. I plan journeys across Africa, Asia, the Americas and beyond, drawing on trusted partners who provide seamless support every step of the way. My ApproachEvery itinerary I design is unique. It starts with a conversation to understand who you are, how you like to travel, and what matters most, be that privacy, sustainability, wildlife, culture, or family connection. I then build a journey that fits your interests and travel style, managing every element from flights and transfers to special experiences. As an independent specialist, I offer complete flexibility, consultations by phone, video, or in person, across time zones and outside standard hours. Behind each trip is a network of trusted suppliers and local experts who share my standards for service and sustainability, ensuring exceptional quality wherever you travel.Journeys for Every ChapterWeddings & Honeymoons: Bespoke safaris or intimate island elopements. Family & Multi-Generational: Safaris with child-friendly guides, villas with space for all ages. Wellness & Retreats: From Ayurvedic programs in Sri Lanka to nature-based wellness lodges. Adventure & Diving: Diving, hiking, or wildlife expeditions from Raja Ampat to Antarctica. Hobbyist Travel: Tailored for photographers, birders, or sports enthusiasts. Exclusive Use Escapes: Private villas, lodges and yachts for total privacy. Small Expedition Cruises: Expert-led voyages to extraordinary destinations with sustainability at their core.Responsible TravelResponsible travel underpins everything I do. I believe luxury and sustainability belong together. I’m a Global Sustainable Tourism Council-certified tour operator, a TTG Media Sustainable Travel Ambassador, and partner with GAP, supporting girls’ education in Tanzania. My core principles: Animal Welfare: Only wild, ethical wildlife experiences. Community Focus: Supporting lodges that prioritise fair employment and local impact. Conservation: Promoting partners involved in habitat and anti-poaching projects. Cultural Respect: Celebrating and preserving local culture authentically.Why Work With Me My clients value first-hand knowledge, integrity and genuine personal care. Experience: Extensive global travel and destination insight. Independence: No set contracts, only what’s right for you. Personal Connection: You deal directly with me, start to finish. Flexibility: I plan around your schedule. Trust & Support: Backed by Travel Counsellors with ATOL, travel trust protection and 24/7 assistance. Attention to Detail: Every element managed with precision.A Final Word Whether you’re planning your first safari, a milestone family journey, or an expedition to the ends of the earth, I bring expertise, professionalism and total personalisation to every trip.

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.

Why Book with Me — Nikki Ashe, Your Personal Travel Counsellor Because your travel deserves to be personal, seamless, and unforgettable.Hi, I’m Nikki Ashe—based in Newark, Nottinghamshire—and I believe travel should feel like a joy, not a chore. Whether you’re planning a weekend escape, a romantic getaway, or a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, I’m here to make the experience effortless, exciting, and completely tailored to you.Travel isn’t just my profession—it’s my passion. I’ve explored extensively across Europe, fallen in love with the Greek islands (Corfu and Zakynthos are forever favourites), soaked up the energy of New York and San Francisco, road-tripped through Canada’s Rockies, travelled the Garden Route and gone on safari in South Africa. Most recently, I spent time in Australia, a trip that reminded me why I do what I do: because travel, when thoughtfully planned, becomes something truly unforgettable. From the coastal charm of Queensland to the vibrant streets of Sydney, Australia was a blend of inspiration and connection. I planned it with the same care I give my clients—every detail considered, every moment meaningful. That’s the kind of experience I want for you.What Makes My Service Different? In a world of comparison sites and automated booking tools, I offer something refreshingly human: a travel experience that’s personal, thoughtful, and completely stress-free.Here’s what sets me apart: - Tailored Travel That Reflects You I take the time to understand your preferences, your pace, and your dreams.

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.

Hello and welcome!My name is Jan and I am here to help, advise and assist you in making your travel arrangements as perfect as possible. I have spent many years travelling and living abroad but am now enjoying a quiet life in the countryside. Actually, living with 2 dogs, 2 cats, 3 chickens and in a full renovation project means it is not quite as quiet as I would like it to be, but I am working towards it being so one day!I was in my late teens when I first went to work abroad in Germany and was immediately bitten by the bug of all things foreign. Everything intrigued me, from learning the language, appreciating a different culture, enjoying new culinary experiences and especially the pure adventure of it all. My first big trip was to the USA where I hitch hiked through a dozen states, which brought a wealth of weird and wonderful experiences. I then went on to finance my travels by working ski seasons and travelling a different continent each summer. Hence it was a natural progression for me to go onto work in travel and combine my experience and passion and I have now amassed over 30 years in the industry, mostly working as a travel consultant. During this time I have gained a wealth of knowledge about airlines, countries, different routes, specialist lodges, unique boutique accommodations and quality hotels. I take great pride in taking the time to find the ones you will enjoy most. I am a worldwide consultant but specialise in booking business class flights, quality hotels and designing bespoke itineraries – no two are ever the same! I believe that booking a holiday is a very personal experience and only by getting to know people, their tastes and interests that you can truly create the ideal itinerary for them. I think that the whole booking experience should be an enjoyable process from the first conversation to the unpacking of the suitcase. Working as a travel counsellor allows me to be completely flexible and independent in the way I work and thus being able to offer a customised, nothing is too much trouble, expert service to my clients. So if this sounds of interest or you would just like to have a chat or call for some advice then please don’t hesitate to get in touch.Happy travels, Jan

I am also an accredited specialist for many destinations as endorsed by the relevant tourism authorities including USA, Canada, Australia, Hong Kong, Mauritius, Middle East, ocean and river cruises and much more. I keep my knowledge of the ever changing travel world up to date with regular online training, industry events and of course, travelling.I do as much research as it takes to provide the most suitable trip for my valued clients whether it is a package holiday to Greece, a safari in Africa, a tailor-made trip touring Canada or a coach tour of Italy. I can also add many extras including airport parking and lounges, coach tickets, theatre breaks, excursions and attraction tickets as well as booking restaurants in resort. I can even arrange a private jet should you need one! I give independent and unbiased guidance often with a more competitive price than you can find elsewhere.

Florida is my favourite destination because of all the theme parks, especially Disney, I was lucky to be able to go there nearly every year from the ages 1-8. As a child I saw my favourite characters being brought to life and was able to be apart of the magic myself when walking through the streets of Disney and seeing Cinderella's castle. Our family holidays to Florida really are some of my favourite memories. That being said, I still have many dream vacations left on my bucket list that I am excited to experience. I also can't wait to help you experience your dream vacations and tick them off your bucket list.Whether it's a solo adventure, romantic getaway, family holiday or a once in a lifetime opportunity, I will be here to help you with your holiday wants and needs every step of the way.

Welcome – I’m so pleased you’re here.If we haven’t met yet, let me introduce myself. I’m Karen, and I live in a lovely village just outside Winchester in Hampshire.

Along the way, I’ve loved immersing myself in different cultures and languages, and those experiences continue to shape the way I work today.I spent 14 years as cabin crew, followed by 9 years working with a luxury tour operator - so you could say travel is part of who I am! I've explored far and wide, from the peaks of Latin America to the plains of Africa, the wonders of Asia, and of course, my annual beach escapes to the idyllic islands of the Maldives.These journeys inspire me daily, helping me connect clients with the destinations that suit them best. As well as our award winning range of Travel Counsellor holidays, I work closely with a handpicked selection of trusted travel partners - from expedition and river cruise lines to small group tour operators, city break specialists, and Arctic and Nordic adventure providers just to name a few.Whether you’re dreaming of a bucket-list safari, a cultural adventure across Asia, or a hidden gem off the beaten track, I bring a wealth of insider knowledge, a curious mind, and a genuine passion for personalised service to every trip I design. Most importantly, you’ll have someone by your side who truly cares - not just about where you’re going, but about every step of the journey. I believe it’s the thoughtful touches and attention to detail that turn a great holiday into an unforgettable experience.When you book with me, you can do so with complete peace of mind.

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

I am Teresa Jones. I’m married with two grown up stepdaughters and 16 year old daughter. After living in London for twenty years I returned to my home county of Nottinghamshire where we now live a very different life in a small friendly village outside the pretty and historic minster town of Southwell.Before I became a Travel Counsellor, I spent twenty-five years in The City working in a demanding role for a global financial services company. Anyone who knows me will tell you that I have an absolute passion for travel. If I’m not actually travelling, I’m talking or reading about it, planning my next trip or advising friends and family with their own adventures. Being a Travel Counsellor and helping others realise their own travel dreams is my ultimate job.From my first ever overseas holiday to Malta aged ten and experiencing the azure waters of The Blue Grotto, eating fresh fish by the harbour and walking the hot and dusty streets of Valletta, I knew I was addicted to travel.Since then, through both work and personal life, I have been fortunate to visit over forty countries. From road trips through California drinking in the sights and the Pinot Noir, to snorkelling in the Maldives with the clownfish, to skiing corduroy slopes under vivid blue Alpen skies, to sunrise safaris spying lions in South Africa or gazing at Sydney Opera House; it would be impossible to choose a favourite. However, Bali and its charming people and Portugal and its vast expanses of golden beaches are both very dear to my heart.My whole career has been spent striving to exceed the expectations of highly demanding corporate clients. I’ve turned these skills to arranging bespoke travel experiences that perfectly match my clients’ requirements. I’m not tied to office hours so happy to speak at a time that suits you.So, whether it be long or short-haul luxury beach breaks; family getaways; exotic adventures; road trips; winter sports; honeymoons; cruises; exquisite city breaks or staycations; I’d be delighted to share my experiences with you to help you plan your next expedition be it near or far.So, what are you waiting for? Let’s go!“Travelling – it leaves you speechless, then it turns you into a storyteller.” Ibn Battuta

From Antigua to Zanzibar the world is your oyster - with my help you can find your pearl!Hi, my name is Sally, and I am an independent travel agent in Suffolk, with nearly 30 years' experience in travel (& I’ve been a Travel Counsellor since March 2002). My main specialities are luxury holidays, in particular but not limited to North America, South Africa, Australia & New Zealand, Indian Ocean, Caribbean, Italy, cruises, city breaks & honeymoons. I have first-hand experience of getting married abroad in the Seychelles - a destination that holds a very special place in my heart and which I have now visited 6 times. I have also visited Antigua 9 times (I just have to keep going back!). Italy is another of my happy places, and I have a good understanding of Italian.You may wonder why you should book with me and not through the internet? Well that's easy to answer:• I check holidays every day and, once I know a bit more about you and your preferences, I can quickly find the most suitable options for you. Internet "deals" are not always what they seem, as computers are just machines and only as good as your own input. I cannot always match or beat internet prices because the internet just doesn’t provide the same expertise, recommendations, advice, care and service that we do. However, I always strive to provide best VALUE. • I will do all the hard work and save you the time and hassle that comes with trying to DIY or deal with the “production line” in a shop or call centre, and I will give that personal human touch (which can be so rare these days) to your booking experience. • Travel Counsellors is independent so, unlike some high street and online agents, we are not tied to a limited number of tour operators or biased by incentives or in-house brands. I therefore always explore multiple options to find or tailor-make the right holiday at the right price, and always sell what is right for you rather than what is right for me. I can also tailor-make your holiday to make it totally “yours” by adding unique and special touches. • You will only ever need to deal with one person – me! (or a trusted like-minded colleague if I’m away on holiday myself) and you will get a prompt response without having to wait in a call-centre queue. I will personally look after your holiday with the same care and attention to detail that I would for my own, and am easily contactable at a time to suit you, even outside normal working hours no matter how simple or complex you feel your query is – from the initial enquiry right until after you return home. • Everything you book through me is fully financially protected, and should there be any unexpected issues while you’re away, your airline goes bust or is on strike, or another Ash cloud looms, you only need to call me or our 24 hour emergency Duty Office and things will be sorted for you - you will never be left to sort things out alone. You can therefore relax knowing that all you need to worry about is enjoying your holiday and making those special memories. • I’m well-travelled (to date I have visited over 50 countries), patient, and have a good sense of humour. Whether you fancy a short break in England, a world cruise – or anything in between, I am here to help with professional, impartial advice, often from first-hand experience, and although I work from home I have the support of over 1,500 colleagues worldwide to give extra advice, tips and recommendations where required.• My business (and reputation) is built on providing the highest possible levels of service and independent advice (and occasional friendly banter about football!), and I have customers all over the UK and Europe, so wherever you are based I can help you. So, if this sounds like the holiday booking experience you are looking for, don’t drown yourself in information & starve yourself of wisdom! I will be delighted to assist you, and I will go that extra mile, so that you can too.

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!

Still on my bucket list is Nepal, Iceland and I would love to explore some of the more remote Greek Islands.With my experience and knowledge I can put together any holiday you require whether it is a dream honeymoon, family holiday, cruise or once in a lifetime trip you have always wanted to do but didn’t know where to start.
