01205 220 034Hello, I’m Katie May – your trusted Travel Counsellor, based in the heart of Lincolnshire. Boston is home to me, my husband, our teenage son, a lively dog, and a muddy cob (horse, for anyone not in the know). Life here is full of energy and warmth – and that’s exactly what I bring to every holiday I create: a wholehearted commitment to helping you craft life-long memories.My passion for travel ignited as a solo adventurer in Australia during my first gap year after school. The travel bug truly took hold during a second gap year post-university, when I embarked on a round-the-world backpacking adventure with my then-boyfriend (now husband): we partied under full moon skies, lived on remote outback cattle stations, soared above the Grand Canyon, and woke to lions’ roars on safari under canvas.Since then, I’ve snorkelled in the crystal-clear waters of the Maldives, marvelled at the ancient majesty of Machu Picchu, and been immersed in the vibrant culture of India. These, and many more experiences have gifted me memories to last a lifetime and inspired my career helping others do the same. Years with a leading luxury tour operator allowed me to specialise in crafting journeys that truly mean more – from exhilarating ski adventures and sun-drenched Mediterranean escapes, to dreamy winter-sun retreats across the Indian Ocean, Middle East, and Caribbean. Yet, the Seychelles remains a personal favourite: a paradise where those once-in-a-lifetime moments seem effortless, thanks to icing-sugar sands and idyllic lagoons.As your Travel Counsellor, I’ll guide you towards a Better Journey at every step – whether you’re chasing bucket-list experiences, seeking total relaxation, craving cultural adventures, or longing for meaningful family time. I’ll help you build a holiday that sparks pure joy and creates life-long, joyful memories. My personal service and meticulous planning mean you can truly relax, knowing every detail is in safe hands.Because I’m a flexible homeworker balancing family (and muddy cob) life, I’m here whenever you need – daytime, evenings, or weekends. Let’s make your next holiday not just a trip, but the first chapter in a story of cherished new memories.Let’s start planning your Better Journey today. Get in touch, and let’s create life-long memories you’ll treasure forever. -

That line has always spoken out to me and is one I like to remind others of. My love for travel began in childhood, spending blissful days on the beach in Tenby — to little me, it felt like another world entirely. Since then, the travel bug never left me. It’s led me down the most beautiful paths, filling my heart and soul with unforgettable memories.From cycling solo through the colourful rhythms of Cuba, to mother-son moments in Tasmania — eating fresh oysters on Maria Island and sharing space with friendly wombats and curious possums. I've learned ceramics in charming Monopoli and had the joy of meeting the oldest resident of the magical Trulli in Alberobello. I’ve driven through the dreamy Douro Valley in a camper van, trekked the mighty Annapurna, and road-tripped across the USA with my daughters by my side. Cruised Europes Rivers and Oceans, Hiked many paths and walked on many beaches across the globe.I've explored 39 countries (and counting!) and each adventure has been a chapter in the most beautiful story — one I want to help you begin or continue, too.These days, I split my time between the rolling hills of Cheltenham in the Cotswolds and the calming sea breeze of Hannafore in West Looe — two places that bring me so much joy. I share life with my three grown-up children, my sweet dog Dixie, and Tommy the three-legged cat who always keeps things interesting!With over 35 years in the leisure and hospitality industry, my heart truly lies in creating experiences that feel thoughtful, joyful, and just right. I’m here to offer you not just my expertise, but my wholehearted care in crafting travel that’s meaningful, exciting, and uniquely yours.Whether you're dreaming of a walking or cycling holiday, adventure expedition, a sunny secluded beach, a culture indulgence trip, cruise, wellness, sports trip, your wedding or honeymoon, or a slow, purposeful journey — I help you with your itinerary as if it were my own.

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

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? -

It's fair to say that travel has always been my biggest passion in life since I first heard my intrepid grandparents telling their amazing adventure stories. After studying an International Tourism Management degree, I started my career as a long-haul tailor-made travel expert 19 years ago and have never looked back. I feel so lucky that my job is to help people create their dream honeymoons, weddings abroad, special occasion holidays and travel itineraries where the most amazing memories are created. Having always worked in the long-haul tailor-made holiday sector, there are not many places left in the world that I have not gained experience in arranging a trip to, so you can be rest assured that you will be in very safe hands with me organising your special holiday. Personally, I love exploring Europe these days too, so I enjoy arranging closer to home holidays for my customers as well.Of course, I love travelling and visiting wonderful destinations myself (68 countries and counting…). Australia, New Zealand and Southern Africa are 3 destinations that I have visited frequently as well as having lived in Florida and then Australia for a while. I have also travelled extensively in South America, North America & South East Asia as well as Russia, Mongolia and China. Being a homeworker means that I can be available to talk to you when you are not busy working or looking after the children, whether that’s on an evening or a weekend. How convenient - a Personal Travel Consultant available at times when you are! If you are local to me then I would love to meet in person over a coffee too.It all starts with a chat where I can understand what is important to you about your holiday, learn what your preferences are and why, and then I can make the best recommendations to suit you. Plus, to make sure your holiday is extra special, I will help arrange all the little extras that make it perfect, such as finding a romantic spot to propose, or the best seafood restaurant in the area, as well as any unique experiences. Being part of Travel Counsellors means that all of my packages are fully financially protected, providing security and quality to every trip - plus of course you have an expert onboard with 20 years’ experience.So please get in touch via email or by calling me, or simple place an enquiry above.

020 3627 4970Hi, I’m Colette — your local Travel Counsellor in Dulwich.I’ve lived and worked in this brilliant part of London for over 20 years, but my real qualifications were earned elsewhere — usually with a backpack, a questionable plan, and a very strong sense of curiosity.I’ve been travelling for over 40 years, long before travel became filtered, airbrushed, and reduced to “top ten must-sees”. My career began in a Greek campsite, peeling potatoes to pay my way — which may not sound glamorous, but it was the moment I fell headfirst into a life of travel.I’ve always travelled properly. And occasionally… bravely.Like in St Anton, where my enthusiastic-but-terrible learner skier self-misjudged a mountain and ended up hitching a ride down on the back of an Olympic skier. Not recommended. Unforgettable.In the Caribbean, I’ve lived the rhythm — salsa dancing under the stars, street dancing during Jump Up in Castries, St Lucia, and learning to roll cigars on my (then younger, thinner, sun-kissed) thighs in Cuba. Research, obviously.I’ve crossed the USA coast to coast on a Greyhound bus, watching the scenery shift from neon city lights to vast, wide-open plains — proof that sometimes the journey really is the point.Asia is where it all really comes alive.In Cambodia, I’ve explored ancient temples, rattled through villages in tuk-tuks, stayed in homestays, and hopped between restaurants and hidden bars on the back of a motorcycle — the best seat in the house.In India, it’s been forts and palaces, ancient history and colourful mayhem — a sensory overload of incense, spices, chaos and beauty, all somehow working in perfect harmony.I’ve surrendered to wellness retreats in Bali and Thailand, floated through the tranquil backwaters of Kerala, and perfected the art of doing absolutely nothing on the beaches of Malaysia, Goa and the Andaman Ocean.This isn’t tick-box travel - this is lived, breathed, slightly chaotic, joy-filled experience.So why travel with me?Because I don’t sell holidays — I design them, using decades of real-world experience and a very good understanding of what makes a trip unforgettable for you.What you get that the internet can’t:• A real human who actually listens • Honest advice (no algorithms, no upselling) • Tailor-made trips — never off-the-shelf • One calm, capable point of contact before, during and after you travelOnline booking won’t help you when flights change, seats disappear or plans wobble. I will. I’m available evenings, weekends — even holidays — because travel rarely behaves itself.Whether it’s a simple hotel stay, a family escape, a solo adventure, or something wonderfully different — like a village homestay, a food-focused itinerary, or a wellness hideaway tucked into Bali’s foothills — I’ll craft it around your style, your pace and your budget.Everything you book with me is 100% financially protected through the Travel Counsellors financial trust — so you can relax and enjoy the fun bits.No bots. No hold music. No “please listen carefully”. Just thoughtful, personal service — with experience, humour, and a healthy sense of adventure.Let’s turn your travel dreams into plans. I’m ready when you are. -

01752 590118I specialise in getting to know and understanding exactly what my clients want, so I can then provide a great and memorable holiday experience. Many of my clients have returned year after year, trusting me to craft their perfect holiday. Some want to relax and take time out to recharge, whilst others want to push their limits and seek out that next challenge or bucket list adventure, and anything else in between.I've been passionate about travel since the age of 17, when I first stepped into the world of tourism, discovering a love for helping others plan their dream getaways. This early passion grew into a career that has spanned over fifteen years, during which I managed and worked for various high street travel agencies with multi-million-pound turnovers. My own travel experiences have greatly enriched my understanding of what makes a trip truly special. I’ve explored everything from the pristine beaches of the Caribbean to the lush landscapes of Hawaii. Now, I’m preparing for an adventure of a lifetime – climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, followed by a safari through the stunning landscapes of Tanzania, Africa. This journey is just the latest in a long line of adventures that have fuelled my love for discovering new places and cultures.Several years ago, I had the incredible opportunity to take a sabbatical and spend just under a year traveling with my husband and two children, visiting over 15 countries. We spent a month soaking in the rich culture and natural beauty of Sri Lanka before moving on to explore Southeast Asia, including Singapore, Cambodia ,Vietnam and Indonesia. After Australia, we then embarked on a three-month road trip across New Zealand in a camper van, which remains one of the most memorable experiences of my life. Our journey back home took us two months through the paradise islands of Fiji and then onto the vibrant streets of Japan in blossom season.With a wealth of personal travel experiences and professional expertise, I am passionate about sharing my knowledge and helping others embark on their own unique adventures. Whether you're dreaming of a luxury escape, planning a honeymoon or a special occasion , maybe a holiday on the slopes or a budget-friendly getaway, I'm here to take care of all aspects of your travel, from offering impartial advice & ideas to taking care of the whole booking process from start to finish.

I have been on many holidays and educational trips which include most of the Greek Islands, Portugal, Cyprus, Spain, Canary Islands, Turkey, Paris, Barcelona, Venice, Florence, Prague, Dublin, Jersey, Miami, California, New York, Antigua, Dubai, Doha, Bermuda, Antigua, Jamaica and I have been on many cruises and sailing holidays. I have just returned from a fantastic trip to Thailand, wow! What an amazing holiday. The food and hospitality were wonderful but the heart of the experience was the Thai people. I also visited an elephant sanctuary which was a beautiful and humbling encounter.My favourite place I have visited with my family so far is Santorini. It has to be the prettiest place I have ever seen and serves the most delicious cuisine. I would love to visit South Africa which I plan to do sometime in the near future. I love being a Travel Counsellor because I can spend time finding my customers the right holiday, without any targets to meet or any directional selling. The technology I have is fantastic and enables me to search a number of airlines and suppliers at my fingertips. I have a vast knowledge of travel and specialise in tailor-making holidays anywhere in the world. Working from home means I am available at a time to suit my customers, including evenings and weekend. Importantly I pride myself on the high level of service I provide my customers and the friendships and trust that have been formed.

01707 450 057Welcome 🤗 I’m Sam, your Personal Travel Counsellor, specialising in luxury, tailor-made travel experiences. Based in Potters Bar, Hertfordshire, I live with my fiancé Adam, our three children, and our Cavapoochon, Honey — a busy family life that perfectly complements my passion for creating exceptional escapes for others.My career in travel began straight from school, where I studied Travel and Tourism at college before starting my professional journey with Going Places. There, I achieved my NVQ Levels 2 and 3 in Travel and Tourism and built a strong foundation within the industry. I went on to work for an independent travel agency specialising in Greece and Cyprus, before joining a well-established tour operator where I spent many years expertly tailor-making complex, around-the-world itineraries for discerning clients.After taking a career break to raise my three children, I returned to the travel industry once they were in full-time education. Following several successful years back in the role, the pandemic brought unexpected change. It was during this time that I discovered Travel Counsellors — and instantly knew it was the perfect fit. Joining allowed me to fulfil a long-held ambition of running my own business while continuing to deliver the exceptional service and bespoke travel planning I’m known for.With over 25 years of experience in the travel industry, I pride myself on offering a truly personal, concierge-style VIP service. Every holiday I design is carefully handcrafted, using my expertise and access to thousands of trusted global suppliers. If you can dream it, I can make it happen — and I’ll ensure every detail is thoughtfully considered.Travel is not just my career; it’s my passion. I’ve been fortunate to explore an array of extraordinary destinations including The Bahamas, Barbados, Saint Lucia, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Mexico, the Maldives, Mauritius, Iceland, Lapland and many parts of the USA — from the Golden Triangle of Las Vegas, San Francisco and Los Angeles, to New York and Florida — as well as Canada’s Toronto and Niagara Falls. I’ve also travelled extensively throughout Europe’s most loved family destinations, such as Greece, Turkey and Cyprus. And, of course, the bucket list is ever-growing, with Turks & Caicos and Thailand firmly in my sights next.I am driven, detail-focused and committed to going above and beyond for every client. I thrive on setting goals, exceeding expectations and continually raising the bar — all with one clear aim: to create unforgettable, bespoke holidays that are as unique as you are.All that’s left for you to do is sit back, relax, and let me take care of the rest. -

0782 4997875I am so pleased you have found me.My boutique travel agency powered by Travel Counsellors means you get the very best of both worlds: the care, flexibility and personal attention of a small business, combined with the strength, buying power and technology of a trusted global travel company. Every journey I design is crafted around you, your lifestyle and your dreams, with a focus on creating meaningful experiences that you will talk about for years to come.Travel today is about so much more than simply getting from A to B. It is about connection: to people, to cultures, to nature and to yourself. My role is to really listen to what matters to you, understand how you like to travel and then quietly take care of everything behind the scenes. From our very first conversation to the moment you arrive home, I am there to guide, reassure and inspire, so you can travel with complete confidence.Because I am part of the Travel Counsellors family, I have access to an extensive network of specialist suppliers, trusted partners and fellow travel experts right around the world. This gives my clients the advantage of competitive pricing, excellent availability and clever technology that keeps everything running smoothly. But you will never feel like just another booking in a system. With me, your holiday is always personal, never off the shelf.I specialise in travel that feels tailor made: whether that is a sustainably minded safari, a restorative wellness retreat, a cultural city break, or a complex, multi‑stop itinerary designed around your family, your hobbies or a special celebration. Every recommendation is considered through three key lenses: the quality of your experience, the wellbeing of you and your travelling companions, and the wider impact on local communities and the environment.Sustainability is not a buzzword for me, it is a guiding principle. Wherever possible, I seek out partners who respect their people and their places, who protect wildlife, celebrate local culture and minimise their footprint. I will talk you through options that might reduce your environmental impact or support community-led initiatives, without compromising on comfort, style or enjoyment. Together, we can make more conscious choices that still feel indulgent and rewarding.Your wellbeing is always at the centre of my planning. For some clients, that means building in time to slow down, breathe and reconnect; for others, it might mean carefully managing accessibility needs, dietary requirements or travelling with children and older relatives. I pay attention to the small details that make a big difference: the right flight times, the perfect room type, a quieter corner of the resort, or a trusted local guide who understands exactly what you want from each day.Most importantly, you are never on your own. I am your single, dedicated point of contact, here whenever you need me. If a question pops into your head in the evening, if you need to tweak plans, or if something unexpected happens while you are away, you can reach out to me directly and I will be there to help. That peace of mind is at the heart of what I offer.Planning a trip should feel exciting, not overwhelming. I take the time to explore ideas with you, to suggest possibilities you may not have considered and to refine your plans until they feel exactly right. Then I manage all the arrangements, from flights and hotels to transfers, excursions and those thoughtful little extras that make your journey feel special and uniquely yours.If you are ready to travel in a way that feels more personal, more considered and more enriching, I would love to help you design your next adventure. Contact me to start a conversation about where you would like to go and how you would like to feel while you are there. Together, we will create a journey that is kind to the planet, good for the soul and unforgettable for you. -

+44 1386 897830Just imagine the horror on my Mum’s face when, at the innocent age of 7, I announced to all and sundry that “I want to be a new age traveller”. Shortly followed by the proclamation that actually, “I don’t care as long as I can just travel anywhere I like!”Who would have known that over 30 years later I would have travelled around the world twice, visited over 80 countries, spent three summer’s teaching sailing and water sports abroad and forged a career in marketing and accountancy. After volunteering in a South African township for six months, I made the biggest decision of my life so far - to transform my life of travel into a productive future of inspiring, planning and creating holidays and breaks away for other people.Having lived in the Stratford upon Avon area and Evesham for most of my life, I have incredible support from friends, family and clients throughout Warwickshire and the neighbouring counties as well as worldwide. Since July 2020, I now have idyllic Keswick to call home and have created a beautiful network of friends up here who share similar passions and interests and definitely keep me fit and active!I love being ‘the one to call’ for advice, top tips and inspiration for all travel requirements – no matter what type of trip it is! I am a member of local sports clubs and have built foundations as a trusted advisor and partner for my peers not only for their personal holidays but their business travel as well.Whether you are considering a leisure break; a long weekend in London, honeymoon to Mauritius, family safari to Africa – or just know that you want to plan a getaway; I will support you all the way to make sure every last detail of your holiday is perfect. In fact, I will likely end up knowing more about your preferences than you do yourself!If you're looking for advice and an agency partner for your business travel, my services are second to none, and your hassles and stresses from this will vanish immediately. I will source hotels, flights and conference centres as required at highly competitive prices, all management information can be discussed and sent as regularly as required.My passion is travel and I would love to share my knowledge and expertise with you – so please follow me on my social media channels and give me a call / send an email so we can begin planning your next journey. -

01670 284130Hi, my name is John and I am a Travel Counsellor based in Blyth on the beautiful Northumberland coast.Are you looking forward to a holiday but don’t want the stress of researching locations, hotels, and flights yourself? Worried about whether those online reviews are reliable or if you’ve missed something important in your itinerary? Do you dream of a trip tailored entirely to you, so you can simply relax and enjoy the experience?If so, you’ve come to the right place. My mission is to provide a completely personal service – from your very first enquiry right through to the moment you return home – so all you need to do is pack your bags and have the time of your life. I’ll take care of everything: researching and planning, securing the best arrangements, thinking through the little details that make a big difference, and being there whenever you need me.As a vegan myself, I understand how challenging it can be to travel with specific dietary requirements – especially when hotels or destinations aren’t set up for them. That’s why I can create holidays that take the stress out of finding suitable dining options, whether that’s securing vegan-friendly hotels, arranging restaurant recommendations, or building itineraries that celebrate plant-based cuisine.I also believe travel should have a positive impact, both on you and the world around you. I can help you choose options that support local communities, promote ethical wildlife experiences, and reduce environmental impact – so your holiday is not only memorable for you, but also meaningful for the people and places you visit.My own travel experiences span from childhood holidays in the UK to multi-destination adventures in South East Asia and beyond. I believe every holiday – whether big or small, hot or cold, adventurous or relaxing – should be special. By taking the time to talk with you at a time that suits you, I’ll design a trip that reflects what truly matters to you, filled with the kind of moments you’ll look back on fondly for years to come.Alongside my personal expertise, I have access to a global network of fellow Travel Counsellors and local specialists, so wherever you want to go, I can handcraft a quote packed with hidden gems and authentic experiences. You’ll also have the reassurance of 24/7 support from both myself and our Duty Office, plus complete financial protection through ATOL and the unique Travel Counsellors Trust Fund.So, whether you already have a destination in mind or are looking for inspiration, the first step to your most memorable, worry-free holiday is just a phone call away.Your perfect holiday, designed around you – your tastes, your values, and your way of travelling. -

0203 883 7660My name is Alison Kent and I am an independent Travel Counsellor. I live in Eltham with my partner John and our much‑loved menagerie: Bill, Ernie and Blossom the dogs, Mabel the cat, Coco, Petal, Pearl and Bree the guinea pigs, and Henrietta, Oregon, Florence, Pretoria and Dottie the chickens. It is a busy, happy home, and travel stories are very much part of the fabric of our lives.My love affair with travel began when I was five years old, listening wide‑eyed to the stories of my big brother’s glamorous air hostess girlfriend. I decided there and then that I would work in travel, and I have been fortunate enough to spend the last 47 years doing exactly that.Over those four and a half decades I have held a variety of senior roles across the industry, from high‑street retail and student travel to cruise, tour operating and high‑end tailor‑made. I have managed branches and regions, overseen fares and ticketing, led VIP and leisure sales teams, and worked as a product manager for destinations including the Indian Ocean, Caribbean and UAE. I have also spent time living in the USA and working at sea, which has given me a deep, first‑hand understanding of how every part of a journey fits together for my clients.In March 2017 I was headhunted by Travel Counsellors. It felt a little daunting at first, but the flexibility of working from home, running my own business, and still having the support of our Head Office in Manchester quickly won me over. Most importantly, it allows me to give my clients truly dedicated, one‑to‑one service instead of being tied to a standard 9.00 to 5.30 day. I am incredibly proud of the level of service and care I provide, and many of my clients return to me time and again and recommend me to their friends and family.I have visited around 70% of the world and have no plans to stop. My adventures this year will take me to Moldova, the Faroe Islands, the Azores and France. My current bucket list includes Zanzibar, Greenland, Borneo and Antarctica. My all‑time favourite destination is South Africa, and I am especially passionate about Africa as a whole: its wildlife, landscapes, cultures and people. I also have a real soft spot for the Balkans, with their complex history, dramatic scenery and wonderfully warm hospitality.Responsible tourism is at the heart of how I like to travel and how I like to plan for my clients. Wherever possible I work with properties and experiences that support local communities, protect wildlife and minimise their impact on the environment, so that the trips we create are not only unforgettable but also positive for the places we visit.Some of my most memorable travel experiences include: gorilla trekking in Rwanda, swimming with dolphins in Oman and turtles in Barbados in their natural habitats, wolf trekking in Spain, volunteering at an AIDS clinic in Uganda, and seeing the Big Five in Kenya and Tanzania. I have crossed 80 degrees north in the Arctic and seen a blue whale, snorkelled on the Great Barrier Reef, surfed in Hawaii, practised yoga on the beach in Bali, stayed in a traditional ryokan at Mount Fuji, travelled on the Orient Express from Bangkok to Singapore, and taken the Rocky Mountaineer from Vancouver to Banff. I have also been caving in Oregon, coffee tasting in Colombia, backpacking in Syria (once only 90 km from Baghdad), and even had the surreal experience of being offered a baby for sale in Papua New Guinea.Travel has given me lifelong friends around the world and a few unforgettable celebrity encounters, including meeting the legendary Pelé and my travel hero Judith Chalmers, who once introduced me at a cruise conference as “more travelled than she is”.I live and breathe travel and I am passionate about using my knowledge, insight and experience to make your travel dreams come true, in a way that is thoughtful, enriching and responsible. I look forward to hearing from you and helping you plan and book your next unforgettable journey. -

I've even done a road trip from Sweden to England traveling with a cat and dog in the back of the car! So where else is on my bucket list? I would really like to explore South America. Argentina and Costa Rica spring to mind and I am trying to visit at least one new country every year.

0191 4328670Hi .... I'm Christine, 18 years a Travel Counsellor.My career in travel has spanned several decades. Before I became a Travel Counsellor, many of my clients will remember me from my very first job in travel working in Fenwick Travel Bureau where I spent 14 happy years before heading up our flagship Travel Agency in the newly opened Metro Centre. I then worked in two independent agents in Jesmond and Gosforth, the latter speacialising in group travel.As you can imagine, I have seen many changes in the world of travel. But I still believe that giving a high level of professional service is extremely important. Whether booking a single flight or a complicated tailor made itinerary, I strive always to pay the closest attention to my client's wishes. Travel Counselllors have given me the unique opportunity to do this with complete partiality and flexibility. Having my clients' best interest in heart means prioritising their needs and ensuring that with careful planning their travel plans meet their personal requirements. I have travelled extensively throughout the world and understand th importance of experience and first hand knowledge when planning my customers trips. One can never underestimate the value of first hand experience!I have travelled to most of Europoe and really enjoy city breaks. I hold a great affection for many places but my "go to "country is Italy. I holiday every year in this beautiful country and have travelled extensively from top to toe, taking advantage of their fantastic train network. Over the last 12 years my heart has also been captured by Classical Spain. My son lives in Madrid and I have grown to love the Spanish culture - so many medieval cities steeped in the most interesting history - there is so much more to Spain than the Costas !My travels also take me to many langhaul destinations. USA is another of my great loves, especially Arizona and Western USA. India, Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong, Cuba, Caribbean Islands, South Africa, Kenya, Australia - some of the many countires I have been very fortunate to visit. I have skied throught Europe and America and enjoyed cycling in Europe and Cuba. Being a Travel Counsellor gives me a great opportunity to offer a professional, impartial service to my clients and all with the financial backing and tremendous support of a great company. And I can do all this at a time convenient to you. So whatever your needs, please ring me for first hand advice. Whether it be cruising, skiing, family holidays or a bespoke tailor made trip, city break ... the list is endless! And finally, as Michael Palin once famously stated "Once the travel bug bites, there is no known antidote and I know I shall be happily infected until the end of my life "Please give me a call - I live to pass on my knowledge and experience in crafting your trip, no matter how small. -

I pride myself on my customer service and being personal, working with you to find the best holiday for you, whilst using my knowledge and passion for travel. Hello and welcome to my page. My name is Lucie and I am originally from North Yorkshire in the UK. I recently relocated back to South Manchester, after spending 13 years in Dubai. I moved to Dubai in 2011, with my Husband, to follow our dreams of living abroad. Our son was born in Dubai 8 years ago and has also developed a passion for travel, going on his first cruise around the Mediterranean in 2019. I had a break from working in the travel industry to have my son, however, prior to that, I worked in the industry for 10 years, in various roles from Leisure to Corporate travel. I also studied an AVCE in Travel and Tourism and have lived in Germany as a child and explored Germany and other countries close by, I feel this set me on the path to having the travel bug.I went on to study German at university and lived there whilst studying. When I finished my studies, I took a year out to go backpacking around Australia and Asia. Whilst working for an international airline my Husband and I travelled to over 26 countries and over 100 cities. Travel really is my passion, and I have been lucky enough to enjoy all sorts of holidays from backpacking around Australia, to cruising the Mediterranean, to a safari in Kenya on the Masai Mara and even attending a friend’s wedding in Las Vegas. More recently we have taken up skiing as a Family. My son learnt to ski on the sunny slopes of Dubal Mall's indoor ski area, so he developed a passion for skiing. Since then, we have travelled to Azerbaijan and most recently New Jersey for ski holidays. During the pandemic we were limited in terms of travel, however we managed to experience lots of amazing staycations in Dubai. Since then, we have travelled to the Maldives, Mauritius and Ski Lanka, as well as enjoying the ski trips. Having worked in the travel industry my whole career, I have strong knowledge about various destinations and can create tailor-made packages to suit your budget, so please do get in touch with me. I look forward to hearing from you and planning your next trip! -

0161 297 0508I’m Claire Young – seasoned travel planner, passionate globetrotter, and the person you want in your corner when only the very best will do.For over 30 years, I’ve been crafting holidays that go far beyond the brochure. From chic weekends in Paris or Florence, to sun-soaked escapes in the Maldives or the Caribbean, to epic journeys across Asia and Australasia – I make it happen. My clients come to me because they want more than just a trip: they want a seamless, tailored experience with every detail handled and every box ticked. And that’s exactly what I deliver.Working with me is like having your own personal travel concierge. I combine insider knowledge, trusted global partnerships, and an instinct for matching people to places that just fit. My job isn’t about transactions – it’s about transformation. Turning a vague idea or half-formed wish into a perfectly polished itinerary that feels completely personal, indulgently effortless, and undeniably memorable.Over the last four years, I’ve taken that philosophy even further by curating a dedicated side of the business: Luxury Romance. This is where I help couples and families celebrate life’s most meaningful moments – honeymoons, destination weddings, anniversaries, and milestone escapes. From barefoot vows on a private beach to once-in-a-lifetime honeymoons or multi-generational celebration trips, I make sure every journey is elegant, elevated, and unforgettable.Luxury travel, for me, isn’t just about five-star hotels or first-class cabins (though I have those covered too). It’s about creating space for connection, for joy, for those rare moments that stay with you forever. That’s what my clients trust me to deliver – and why they come back, time after time, for the next adventure.So, whether you know exactly where you want to go or simply want the kind of trip people will talk about for years, let’s start planning. Warning: a chat with me may cause excessive daydreaming – but once we get going, you’ll be very glad it did. -

01706 507840Hi I'm Pam and welcome to my page.I live in the Rochdale area and have worked within the travel industry for more than 40 years so it’s relatively safe to say I know a thing or two about travel.My client base is extensive and rapidly growing for both business and leisure. My business is based on referrals, so I like to think my growth is down to the high level of service I provide, which most important of all provides you, the customer, with total peace of mind.As you are probably aware the industry is rapidly changing. In order to meet the challenge of change we at Travel Counsellors are equipped with the most up to date technology that permits me to give you, the customer, precise advice that is geared totally around your own individual requirements.Why Travel Counsellors and not a high street agency you may ask yourself? On the high street the conventional method of selling is directional. Therefore you’ll be recommended specific companies which benefit that particular high street agency. In contrast, I’m completely independent so I have no ties to any particular tour operator or supplier. I’ll recommend the holiday that is right for you and is geared to your individual requirements. In addition, I offer a 24 hour service. I’m always available, and it will always be me that you deal with as there are no call centres. I’ll be there on the end of the phone should you require anything prior, during, or after your trip.So if you want a holiday that is as individual as you, where your business is valued and not just a sales statistic, be it a cruise, UK break, flight, Package holiday or around the world trip why not give me a try?I look forward to hearing from you.All the BestPam -
