Travel isn’t just my passion—it’s my life. With 40 years in the travel industry, I’ve had the privilege of designing unforgettable holiday experiences for clients around the world.As a Travel Counsellor I have the expertise of a whole host of wonderful travel partners across the globe, and together we have tips and touches that can really enhance your holiday experience, making you memories that will last a lifetime.A little bit about me..... I got the travel bug in my late teens and took off for a year motoring across Australia in a beaten-up old VW campervan. I then spent six months backpacking around Thailand, Malaysia, Borneo, Laos, Bali, Singapore and Sri Lanka which was an incredible experience. I am also extremely proud to say that I worked in Disneyworld, and while I was there I was lucky enough to take trips to California, New York and New Orleans and also down to the Caribbean Islands, Bahamas, and Mexico - and of course I know Florida like the back of my hand!People always ask which country is the best that I've visited, and I always give them my 'Top 4' as they all have different reasons for being so awesome and they all have a very special place in my heart... New Zealand for the sheer breath-taking beauty of South Island. Grenada for that little sparkling gem of an island in an already stupidly beautiful Caribbean. Iceland for its surreal landscape, pure air and magical twilight that really does make you question your very existence, and Kenya for a night I will never forget at Treetops Lodge where I was incredibly lucky to stay in the same room where Queen Elizabeth stayed when she visited as a Princess and left as Queen.I look forward to hearing from you and discussing your next travel plans, I am always happy to chat through thoughts and ideas about any country so please do not hesitate to give me a call or drop me an email.With very best wishes & happy travels,

Hi, I’m Cara - your personal Travel Counsellor based in Nelson, Lancashire.I’m what’s known in Thailand as a Luk Krueng - half Thai. Growing up in a working-class town in England in the mid-80s, that certainly made me stand out. But for me, jumping on a plane to my mother’s wooden stilt family home deep in the Thai jungle was simply part of childhood. Those early adventures sparked a lifelong love of travel that eventually became my career.My first trip to Thailand in 1987 even made the local headlines, and since then I’ve returned more than 30 times - including four years living there while teaching English. My travels have taken me across Asia and far beyond: journeying up Mount Fuji in Japan with my sister and Japanese brother-in-law, exploring the awe-inspiring temples of Angkor in Cambodia, discovering the beautiful islands of the Philippines, and sleeping under the stars in the Dubai desert.Other highlights include cruising through Alaska (with a close-up grizzly bear encounter!), road-tripping through the Canadian Rockies, snowmobiling across Icelandic glaciers, and watching the Milky Way appear above us during a safari game drive in South Africa.With nearly 25 years’ experience in long-haul leisure travel, I bring a wealth of knowledge and first-hand experience to the holidays I create. I’ve travelled extensively with leading airlines such as Qatar Airways, Singapore Airlines and Emirates in both Economy and Business Class, and stayed in some exceptional hotels around the world - including the famous Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi.My role is simple: to take away the stress (and hours!) of searching the internet or queuing in travel agencies. Instead, I’ll design a holiday tailored completely to you, with the kind of personal service you simply won’t find on the High Street. Whether it’s a special anniversary, honeymoon, or a once-in-a-lifetime trip, I’ll make sure every detail is just right. I’m also very fussy on behalf of my clients - if something isn’t good enough, it simply doesn’t make the cut.I love creating trips so vividly that I can picture the whole journey myself. (Don’t worry - I promise I won’t sneak onto your flight or turn up at your hotel pool with a lilo in hand!) But I will be here if you need anything while you’re away, and I’ll be just as excited to hear your highlights when you return.And because life doesn’t always happen between 9-5, I’m available evenings and weekends too. Whether by email or phone, we can chat in whatever way suits you best.I look forward to having a good natter and helping you plan your next adventure.

Hi. My name is Gemma and I am local to Wantage and surrounding areas of Newbury, Reading, Berkshire and Oxfordshire.I have worked in travel since 2011 and am part of a family that loves to see the world. Holidays started at a young age, from Disney to cruises and skiing. Before joining Travel Counsellors in 2019, I spent 6 years at the Luxury Tour Operator, Kuoni Travel. I have been very fortunate to enjoy luxury stays at the opulent Burj al Arab in Dubai and the islands of the Maldives and Seychelles. I have been to over 25 countries and am experienced in creating tailor made holidays to worldwide destinations.Organising holidays for my clients is what I love to do, and you can be confident I have the experience to make yours perfect. I find out every important detail, from your interests and hobbies to your likes and dislikes, to make the perfect recommendations and create a holiday unique to you. Many of my clients have become friends, who I have built lasting relationships with, so planning each trip is made easy and hassle free because as I get to know you, I learn how you like to travel.Whether it’s a honeymoon, a family get together or anniversary celebration, I am on hand to help you from the initial consultation to when you return home. I can also help you plan a UK getaway, cruise, ski trip, villa holiday or city break. Even help you plan a group holiday or sports tour.When you book with me, you can speak to someone who has first-hand knowledge. I have been up close to elephants on safari in Sri Lanka, flown over the waterfalls on Reunion Island by helicopter and relaxed on the beaches of Mauritius. I enjoy villa holidays in Greece, have walked through the Colosseum in Rome and enjoyed delicious Italian cuisine in Sorrento and Sardinia. On a European road trip, I sampled wine in the heart of Rioja and walked the streets of Paris. I have stepped foot on the Great Wall of China, been in awe of Angkor Wat in Cambodia, sunbathed in 5 star luxury in Mexico and experienced the rush of adrenaline on the world’s fastest rollercoaster in Abu Dhabi. As a Travel Counsellor, I act as a Tour Operator and Travel Agent, offering you more choice than is available on the high street or online, all with personal service and peace of mind that you are financially protected. I can also be available at a time to suit you. When you get in touch, I will arrange an appointment to meet face to face, via video call or speak on the phone, to chat about your plans for your next holiday. I am looking forward to speaking to you soon.

Hello and a very warm welcome — I’m so glad you’ve taken the time to stop by. If you’re here, you’re probably thinking about your next holiday… and that’s where I come in. I’m Charlotte Hall, your personal Travel Counsellor, and I’d love to help you turn those ideas, dreams, and “one day we should…” plans into something real. Travel has been woven into my life for as long as I can remember. I started by exploring the world from the skies as cabin crew, then swapped continents completely and spent more than ten brilliant years living in Australia. These days, you’ll find me in God’s own country — Yorkshire — where I’ve lived with my family for the past twenty‑three years while working in the hospitality industry. All of that has shaped how I see the world: with curiosity, openness, and a real appreciation for great service and genuine human connection. I’ve always loved discovering new places, meeting different people, and soaking up cultures that are nothing like my own. Lately, I’ve fallen a bit in love with cruising — it’s such a wonderful way to explore multiple destinations without packing and unpacking each time! But trust me, my own travel wish‑list is still a long one. When it comes to planning holidays for others, I genuinely enjoy the whole process. I believe that great travel planning isn’t transactional — it’s personal. It’s about listening properly, understanding what matters to you, and building a trip that fits you in every way. No two travellers are the same, and no holiday should be either. As an independent Travel Counsellor, I’m here to make things easier: • I’ll do the research so you don’t have to. • I’ll save you time and remove the stress. • I’ll offer honest, friendly advice you can rely on. • And every booking is 100% financially protected, so you can relax from the start. Whether your plans are simple or a little bit complicated, whether you know exactly what you want or have no idea where to begin — I’d love to hear from you. Give me a call, send an email, or just share a few thoughts, and I’ll get back to you straight away. Let’s make your next adventure something truly special. Charlotte “Nothing ever becomes real till it is experienced.” – John Keats

Hi, I’m Thea. Originally from London, I moved to the South West for university and quickly realised this was where I wanted to put down roots. I’m now based in Keynsham, perfectly placed between Bristol and Bath, and I regularly meet clients across both cities.My career didn’t begin in travel. I graduated as a neuroscientist, but after spending time in a laboratory I realised it wasn’t where my passion truly lay. In 2013, I swapped brains for boarding passes and retrained in travel and tourism. After gaining experience in high street agencies and specialist tour operators, I launched my own business with the award winning Travel Counsellors in 2019. I haven’t looked back since.I specialise in luxury tailor made travel, particularly across Asia and Africa, alongside ocean and river cruising, solo travel and bucket list adventures. I have visited over 55 countries and counting, and whether it’s safari in Africa, touring through Europe, exploring India or relaxing in the Caribbean, I still get that same rush every time I step on a plane. Chances are, if you’re planning it, I’ve either done it myself or it’s firmly on my radar.In recent years, responsible tourism has become a huge focus for me. I became a TTG Sustainable Travel Ambassador and was honoured to be named a finalist for Responsible Luxury Travel Agent of the Year at the TTG Luxury Awards 2026. I care deeply about helping clients travel thoughtfully, proving that luxury and sustainability can go hand in hand.Being a Travel Counsellor means I’m my own boss, which allows me to offer a genuinely personal service. You deal directly with me from start to finish, including WhatsApp access, and I’m not restricted to traditional office hours. If evenings work better for you, that’s absolutely fine. Prefer to meet in person over coffee? Even better. Behind the scenes, you also have 24/7 global duty office support, full ATOL protection and 100% financial security. I don’t charge service fees as I’m paid by suppliers, and if there is ever an exception, I will always explain why.From iconic honeymoons and first family holidays to multi centre adventures and special celebration trips, my role is to create memories that last long after you’ve unpacked your suitcase. Whatever you’re dreaming of, big or small, I’d love to help turn your ideas into something truly special.

My name is Yvonne Williams and I am here to help you find a holiday that suits you! I am lucky to have been in travel for well over 25 years and hope to pass on some of my knowledge to you. I have worked for a major airline as cabin crew and had the chance to stay in a lot of exotic and wonderful places. I also worked overseas in Europe, as a children's rep and eventually became Resort Office Manager working in Florida & Barbados.I have travelled to USA, South Africa, the Maldives, Sri Lanka, Egypt, Japan, Dubai, New Zealand, Cook Islands, Fiji and most of Europe on educational trips, so have gained lots of inside knowledge which I will be more than happy to pass onto my clients.My own holidays have included cruising and so far I have sailed on quite a few different cruise lines, but am cutting back now as I have gained too much weight!I have just had an amazing road trip through California & Nevada and am looking forward to my next visit to USA. I hope that I can pass on some of my passion for travelling. I have many repeat clients who I now look upon as friends and am very happy that they trust me enough to recommend me to their friends & family.For your peace of mind, we have our own Trust Fund which has been set up to guarantee a full refund in the event of the failure of a travel company, airline or supplier, something which no other travel company can guarantee.So, what are you waiting for?

For my corporate customers, I have organised and project managed two 1-week business conferences, one in Dubai and the other in Bangkok, each conference had around 60 participants.

Hi, I am Lesley Hill and a Travel Counsellor proud to be based in my home city of Glasgow, where I live with my husband and two daughters. I cannot wait to create amazing holidays and bespoke itineraries to turn your travel dreams into realityMy passion for travel started at a young age, when I went on a swimming club exchange to Orlando, Florida aged 11. I realised there was a whole world out there waiting to be explored. As a student, I then spent two summers working and travelling across Canada and spent a month backpacking on the Amtrak in the USA. At this point I was well and truly hooked and knew I wanted to have a career in the travel industry. Prior to becoming a Travel Counsellor I worked for over 20 years with an award winning high street travel agent. During this time, I gained a wealth of knowledge and experience so I know what it takes to make a fantastic holiday. From different airlines, routes and stopovers, to luxury accommodation and tours, I can advise with ease. I have a high repeat client base and pride myself in offering the personal touch and attention to detail. I very much value these relationships and hope to develop many more in the future. I have also been lucky enough to experience some amazing places. From trekking to Annapurna base camp in Nepal, diving with seals in the Galapagos, watching the sunrise over Malaysia from the top of Mount Kinabalu in Borneo, to driving through the Namibian dessert in a 4x4 on my honeymoon. No matter what you are looking for I can organise anything from a short European city break, a surprise visit to see Santa in Lapland, a Cruise in the Caribbean, a motorhome holiday in the USA, a multi-centre Australia and New Zealand itinerary or just a fly and flop beach break in Mauritius. I will get to know you and your requirements and make the experience a happy and enjoyable one. As your own personal Travel Counsellor, I can be totally flexible and available whenever suits you. If evenings work better – then give me a call. Being independent means I can offer a great selection of products, a great price as well as full financial protection and back-up including the Travel Counsellors Financial Trust. I look forward to hearing from you and being able to create your perfect holiday and turn those dreams into reality.

Hello, I am Tracey, and thank you so much for visiting my page.Originally from Cumbria, home of the beautiful Lake District, I now live at the most easterly point of the UK in Lowestoft, Suffolk, on the edge of the stunning Norfolk Broads. It is a wonderful base for helping my clients across the UK plan their next escape.I have worked in the wonderful world of travel for over 30 years. My career began as an overseas holiday rep in the Canary Islands, where I lived for three years, before moving into high street agencies as a travel advisor. Over the decades I have built up a wealth of knowledge, trusted industry relationships and a huge amount of first-hand travel experience. This year marks my 8th year with Travel Counsellors, a milestone I am incredibly proud of.My passion for travel has taken me to some truly memorable places around the world. I have chartered a speedboat around the coast of Malta, enjoyed a couples massage on a private island in the Bahamas with the sea gently lapping at the shore, been chosen as “family of the day” in the Walt Disney World parade in Orlando, flown into Monte Carlo by helicopter and won at the famous casino, caught my own fish and collected coconuts on a deserted island in Mauritius, bartered in bustling bazaars in Turkey and quite literally shopped until I dropped in dazzling Dubai.Cruising is my real area of extra expertise. I have sailed on many ships and taken part in numerous ship visits with several leading cruise lines, and I have completed the Travel Counsellors Cruise Expert Programme. The cruise market is constantly evolving, so I stay up to date with the latest itineraries, new ships and promotional offers. Whether you are completely new to cruising and would like friendly, honest advice on which line to choose and what to expect, or you are a frequent sailor looking for something a little different and need fresh inspiration, I would be delighted to help.I am proud to be an independent Travel Counsellor. Working from my home office gives me the time and flexibility to focus entirely on you, without the distractions and limitations of the high street or the impersonality of a call centre. You can call or email at a time that suits you, and I will personally look after your booking from our first conversation right through to your return home.For me, the joy of travel is all about the experience, and that begins long before you set off. My aim is to understand exactly what you are looking for and then create a holiday that feels truly right for you. Whether it is a quick city break, a sunshine escape with the family, a once-in-a-lifetime celebration or a complex multi-destination itinerary, I will research, plan and arrange everything for you, right down to the smallest detail.With access to the latest technology and outstanding support from our Head Office team, I can work with hundreds of trusted travel suppliers and also design completely tailor-made trips that are unique to you.I look forward to helping you plan your next holiday and providing the same level of care and service that I would expect for myself. If you are ready to start turning your ideas into a wonderful reality and lasting memories, please do get in touch and let us begin planning together.

I can put any itinerary together - it doesn't need to be in a brochure and there's never any pressure from me to make instant decisions! All coupled with the best advice regarding Passports, Visas and other legal requirements.

Hi, I'm Sarah. I live in Widnes, Cheshire, with my husband and the youngest of our adult children.Travel has been my obsession since 1992, when 20‑year‑old me and my future husband took our first independent trip abroad: across the Atlantic to Florida. Instantly hooked on travelling, we quickly followed this with holidays to Mexico, Thailand and a Grand Tour of Italy, and we have visited over 40 different countries together since.I love travel because of the awesome experiences it can offer: walking on the Nigardsbreen Glacier in Norway; riding Flight of Passage in Walt Disney World; joining the pilgrims in Lhasa's Jokhang Temple; following the Iguaçu Falls trail in Brazil: all moments etched into my memory forever.In 2017, after 25 years successfully organising our own adventures, I started a new chapter in life by joining Travel Counsellors.

Hello, I'm Liz, your local independent travel expert based in leafy Beckenham, on the borders of South London and Kent. My passion for travel started a very long time ago when my first ever job was selling Spanish package holidays. I’ve never lost that desire, that passion, for seeing and experiencing the world at large. Now, a few decades later, I am living that dream and helping my customers to explore and discover the world.My personal passion is African safari, I think it’s the sounds and smells of the bush that really get under my skin and I’m so happy planning a safari trip for a client. I love to talk about it to anyone who will care to listen. But not everyone is keen to explore the bush. Whatever your preference, I am here to help and advise and share my personal travel experiences with you. I work from a home office so I’m available to discuss your trip when it's most convenient for you and not restricted by office hours. I do home visits to suit your hours and can also be found meeting clients in the numerous local coffee bars (when we’re allowed), talking holidays over a latte.That initial chat is the most important step towards the perfect holiday. I need to spend time getting to know you so that I can craft the perfect itinerary or destination holiday for you and your family or group. My clients' travel adventures are too varied to mention them all but include dozens of African safaris, motor home tours of the Rockies in Canada, luxury tours from north to south of India, or barefoot paradise honeymoons in the islands of the Indian Ocean or Pacific islands. Skiing holidays, the Northern Lights, Antarctic cruises, the Galapagos Islands, or the Ashes in Australia, the possibilities are endless. I will cater for your every need and will do my best to help with special requests that just aren't available on-line; adjoining rooms? cruise cabin near a lift? saltwater pool? short walk to bars and restaurants? gluten free menus? …. we'll do our best.I do pride myself on attention to detail; from that first meeting through to your return home and all points in between, creating memories that last a lifetime. Call me and let’s talk holidays.

Her love for crafting unforgettable journeys shaped my own approach: putting care, creativity, and genuine connection at the heart of every client experience.I understand that holidays are deeply personal, and I’m committed to curating seamless, tailor-made trips that bring dreams to life—whether it’s a luxury escape, a multi-generational adventure, or that once-in-a-lifetime celebration. With access to outstanding global partners through Travel Counsellors—and a lifetime’s insight into what makes travel truly special—I take pride in ensuring my clients feel supported from our very first conversation to the moment they return home.Let’s create your next remarkable holiday together.

The Loire Valley, renowned for its Chateaux’s, beautiful scenery and Rose Wine is a favourite of ours. Our Italian Adventure in October which saw us exploring Pisa, Florence, Lucca, and Siena and then a train down to Rome. We had an amazing time, fabulous food and locals and was great to fit so much in.This year we have Thailand to look forward to, we are visiting the North this time, rich in culture and traditions we're hoping to see another side of Thailand. Then in the summer the girls and I are off on our first cruise around Scandinavia! I've enjoyed visiting many cruise ships over the last couple of years and did cruise many moons ago but so much has changed, we are very much looking forward to it.I absolutely love hearing from you and helping you create wonderful memories.

Hi, my name is Maria, I was born and bred in Somerset, and seem to have a strong West Country "Farmer" accent! so people tell me! I always knew since school I either wanted to a a Travel Agent or a Florist and lucky for me, I got a job in Travel at the aged of 16 and have never left the industry! From starting out working in Tour Operations putting together Tailor-made Bespoke Rugby Tours to continuing through the travel agencies on the high Street to now being a Business Owner for the last 20 years. Having my own business gives my the flexibility to work the hours that suit me and my clients and that can look like a Teams call, clients visiting my office in Midsomer Norton (by appointment) or me meeting them for coffee or a breakfast perhaps, or visiting them at home at a time that suits them. My working hours are very different each week but predominately I am in my Office itself 8.30-4.30 Mon-Fri however I work outside these hours to suit. I have been fortunate enough to have travelled to some pretty amazing places in the world and have been able to take my family too. Our Girls , whom are all grown up now and young adults, have seen the world from their early ages so travelling as a family, is something I completely understand and can relate too. As the girls are grown up, My husband and I are now starting to holiday as a couple again and for one it is a lot Cheaper! The one thing I enjoy the most about having a Travel Business, is I get to see many years of a client and watch them grow. I have the Privilege to deal with couples. Solo travellers, and families throughout many years of their lives and go through the changes that life brings, such as an Honeymoon, maybe a wedding abroad, the 1st time travelling with a child/children on a family holiday, or going solo for the 1st time and also later in life taking their grandchildren away and dealing with the whole family through generations. This is what I love- building the relationships and adapting to the needs and desires of the clients at that time in their lives. I must tell you, where I've travelled (but I cant tell your a favourite as there are so many destinations that have captured my heart over the years) However Cyprus is where we got married and that will remain a special place, Morocco is the new favourite, however Croatia is also a favourite too! I love a city breaks and loved Dublin, Krakow, Barcelona and my favourite is Amsterdam!When it comes to further a field, Turks and Caicos' has the most beautiful beach I have ever seen, St Lucia, is the most stunning Island and Thailand was full of the most beautiful Culture and the Elephants were just one of those experiences I will never forget and not forgetting the glorious adventures we had in Canada too! A little about what I do in my personal life- I love watching Women's and Men's Rugby, I am a Bath supporter! I love watching F1 and have been to a few races in my time. I love cooking and a bit of gardening, Most of all, I love food and travelling and for me the two go hand in hand! If you would like to experience any of these wonderful places or experiences in the world and beyond.. do get in touch as I would love to help.

Hello and welcome, my name is Ian Gifford, I live in Chalgrove, near Oxford with my wife Barbara. We have been here for eight years having lived and worked all over the UK. We love this location because of the friendly village community and the fantastic links to the world, with Heathrow only 40 minutes away.My dad encouraged my passion for travel from a very early age, taking me on exciting day trips to London, although I can still remember being too terrified to climb the ladder at the top of the dome of St Paul’s Cathedral!As a teenager, I just wanted to see the world. I completed cycling tours to the West Country and organised school walking tours that led to running a New Forest Youth Hostel. My early career in hospitality ensured a strong appreciation for food and wine, which included running our own hotel and restaurant, that is why I feel local food and drink is an exciting part of travel.Customer Service is part of my passion, going the extra mile, delivering the unexpected, when Covid-19 emerged I worked 24/7 to successfully repatriated all my customers from Australia, Vietnam, Philippines, Costa Rica and the Maldives, often needing to re-route and re-book as a result of restrictions that were emerging all the time. However, this is my approach even without CV-19 it is being there on the end of the phone when the customer needs me or resolving a problem before the customer is even aware. On one occasion, at 11pm, I became aware that Yosemite National Park was about to close, due to fires, my family were due to go two days later, I found alternative accommodation and then called the customer, confirming everything whist they stayed by the pool.For my business customers, I have arranged events for companies including elaborate dining in unusual locations, an amazing firework display and made sure guests got to a Champions League match when all flights were cancelled due to an airport closure. However, with business travel it is all about being available to help plan, manage changes and provide solutions so the customer can concentrate on his priorities.Identifying my favourite destinations is a challenge, however, seeing leaping Mantra Rays off the Pacific coast of Mexico was amazing, and the rustic village restaurant in Pergine Valdarno, Tuscany provided a uniquely warm feeling with other unforgettable experiences such as Samaria Gorge in Crete at dawn, skiing in powder at Verbier, Golf in the Algarve or watching a Grand Prix in Malaysia.Whether it is advising a restaurant on a client’s food allergies or organising a private tour in Rome, making sure your travel plans are exactly how you want them is vital. It is my responsibility to ensure you have first class service, before, during and following your trip.I am here to help, at times convenient to you, some of my clients have been in different time zones and I have planned calls at midnight before now, so if it is better for you to talk in the evenings or at weekends, that is fine with me. I look forward to talking with you soon.

Your local Chesterfield based Travel CounsellorI am honoured to be your chosen Travel Counsellor and thank you for trusting me with your dream holiday. I have a wealth of travel experience to share with you and there is nothing I love more than to talk about all things travel! From Caribbean cruises to magical Lapland to Australian adventures, if you are planning your next trip then I am here to help you every step of the way. I am based in Newbold and offer both in person and online travel services that are bespoke to you and your holiday. Why choose me as your Travel Counsellor I have over 15 years experience in the travel industry both in the UK and overseas and I have worked for tour operators and specialists that have given me the knowledge and confidence to build the best, bespoke holiday for you. I have travelled the world extensively from a young age and my love of travel has taken me to many far-flung destinations including backpacking in Australia to cruising around the Norwegian Fjords. I have been lucky in my youth to have also lived and worked in several destinations of which I have a few highlights:- Spending 2 years in Southern Egypt including exploring the Nile Delta and Cairo. One of my particular highlights was exploring the Tomb Of The Kings...I am a bit of a history buff so this felt so special and is truly to be seen to be believed. - Working alongside Santa himself in Finnish Lapland and spending my days on husky and reindeer rides, snow mobiles and seeking the Northern Lights. There's something just purely magical about seeing the Northern Lights from a frozen Arctic lake.- Working on theatrical tours that took us to stunning destinations such as the Swiss Alps and Hong Kong. Experiences such as performing at the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club and being a 'survivor' at their 24 hour party will stay with me for life.- Exploring Tasmania from top to toe…From wine regions to hiking up mountain ranges to white water rafting it was quite the adventure! This wilderness destination is a must for your bucket list!Each destination along the way has given me a deeper understanding of the local culture, people and the many ways in which to explore. I am a huge advocate of emerging and engaging oneself into local life and I can assist you in truly doing this on your next getaway.In the past few years, I have specialised in cruise holidays, and I have been fortunate enough to travel on and explore various cruise lines and routes that I can happily help guide you to the perfect fit. I have sailed with a number of lines including Cunard, Fred Olsen, Ambassador, Royal Caribbean and my next cruise is with Celebrity where we will be exploring Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia. Travel has always been more than just a hobby for me; it’s a way of life. I’ve built a career out of inspiring others to discover the joy and transformation that comes from exploring the world. Whether it’s your first time abroad or your fiftieth, whether it’s a Caribbean cruise or a weekend in Whitby, I love helping travellers create unforgettable getaways. When you plan your holiday with me, you’ll get far more than just a travel agent. I’ll take the time to truly get to know you, your interests, your priorities, your needs and I will tailor make your hand-picked recommendations. I’ll ensure that your holiday is entirely personalised and catered to you. Having lived and travelled extensively around the world I understand that travel is not one-size-fits all. Some of us crave tranquillity and relaxation, others want adventure and to immerse ourselves in a destination. Together, we will design a trip that reflects you and your personality that hopefully you will love. So let’s start planning your next adventure together, that’s designed around you. I look forward to hearing from you!

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? The world is your oyster and I am here to help you make those special, lifelong memories!

Hello, I’m Sue. I have always had a sense of adventure but my passion for travel really began in my early twenties when I spent six months exploring the USA and Canada. An amazing experience, it really opened my eyes and mind to the joys of travelling.Since then I have enjoyed over 28 years working in the travel industry as a travel agent in Canterbury and Broadstairs and more recently as travel store manager in Birchington. During this time I was very fortunate to visit many wonderful destinations including Italy which I love (especially Rome), Greece, Turkey, and the Canary Islands. Travels further afield have taken me to many amazing locations, some personal favourites being Australia including Sydney and the Great Barrier Reef, Dubai, the Far East including Thailand and China and the Caribbean including Mexico. I am also a huge Disney fan and have visited Disneyworld in Florida several times as well as Disneyland Paris, closer to home.As a Travel Counsellor I can offer you independent advice and use my own travel experience together with a wealth of product choice to make sure I find the holiday that is right for you. If I do not have first-hand experience of a destination I have access to over 1000 colleagues around the world who can offer their local knowledge and insight.I love my job and really enjoy helping customers with their own travel plans.

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.

My first job was in travel at 17 years of age before I went on to do my degree in Travel & Tourism. That love of exploring led me into the travel industry, and I now use my experience and the backing of Travel Counsellors to create tips all over the world for both my leisure and corporate clients.

Your Journey Starts Here…It’s lovely to introduce myself. I’m a Travel Counsellor based in the Hastings and Rye area, returning to the industry after first working as an independent travel agent over 20 years ago. Travel has always been a huge part of my life, and stepping back into this world feels like the perfect fit. My own journeys have taken me to many wonderful places, but two destinations have truly stayed with me: Mexico, with its vibrant culture, warm hospitality and incredible diversity, and Greece, where I can never resist the sunshine, the food and that relaxed Mediterranean way of life. I’ve also travelled solo on longer adventures and naturally gravitate toward experiences that are a little more off the beaten track, where you can discover something authentic and unexpected. I specialise in creating bespoke, tailor‑made holidays that reflect exactly what you want from your time away. Whether you’re dreaming of a relaxing escape, a cultural journey, winter sports, a cruise or something completely unique, I love taking your ideas and turning them into a trip that feels personal and effortless. When you book with me, you can expect:• Friendly, one‑to‑one support from our first conversation until you return home• Holidays designed around your interests, style and budget• Thoughtful planning, from the perfect accommodation to the little touches that make a trip special• Complete peace of mind, with every detail organised and protected for you• 24/7 backup from our dedicated support team, so if something unexpected happens while you’re away, it will be handled quickly and professionally on your behalfMy goal is simple: to take the stress out of travel planning so you can focus on the excitement of your next adventure. Whether you’re dreaming of Mexico, Greece, The Caribbean, a winter escape, or a journey far from the usual tourist trail, I’d love to help bring your plans to life.

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

With more than 20 years’ experience in making holidays and travel accessible and inclusive to all, it is with great excitement and anticipation that I join the Travel Counsellors global family of award-winning travel professionals. It’s going to be an amazing journey!In my previous role as General Manager of one of the UK's leading accessible tour operators, Accessible Travel, I was able to establish a unique insight and understanding of how to create holidays and travel that meet the requirements of customers with even the most complex access and mobility requirements. I have enjoyed seamlessly making holidays accessible and my comprehensive service includes, assistance through airports and on flights, adapted transfers, guaranteed accessible rooms, through to hiring of equipment, nursing care and accessible excursions. Having curated holidays, just not for a specialist market, along with drawing on my travel experience through more than 50 countries, I instinctively match holidays and listen to my customers’ tailoring holidays to individual needs and requirements. I love finding out where you’ve been and where you want to go, because sometimes travel is about heightening your imagination and finding those things you never knew you were looking for.But of course, the most important relationships over the years have been with my valued clients, many now friends. It is so rewarding that you are already allowing me the pleasure to plan and book your future holidays and travel. That means so much. But what is really exciting about being a Travel Counsellor is that I will now be able to offer an almost unlimited range of destinations and holiday opportunities to everyone, that simply cannot be matched by any other travel organisation. This will mean I can help realise your travel ambitions and dreams in a way that was simply not previously possible. Add to this round-the-clock support wherever you are in the world, 100% financial protection and of course a personal, caring service without compromise and it really is going to be a future without limits!Ali

Hi! My name is Matt and I live in Birmingham with my partner and our Border Collie Lydia. I love to travel and have been helping my clients plan their holidays and business trips for 20 years; using my expertise and passion to deliver first class customer service. I’ve been lucky enough to visit many destinations on every continent and although I have lots of favourites, I specialise in the USA, Caribbean and South Africa. They tempt me back year after year on my own holidays so I have some great recommendations waiting for you.As a Travel Counsellor I take the time to search all options before offering you my impartial advice. I pride myself on going above and beyond what you expect from a travel agent and make sure I’m there for you 24/7, whenever you need me. If you'd rather meet in person to discuss your trip, you can book an appointment to see me at my office in Sutton Coldfield. Essentially, I want to provide you with a service that I would like to receive myself and find you a holiday you will love every single time.I also get to benefit from the relationship Travel Counsellors build with their airline partners, hoteliers and suppliers; it means you don’t pay any extra for the service I provide and your money is protected with everything you book with me. So what can I help you with?Tailor Made Itineraries * Safari * Cruises * Weddings & Honeymoons * Ski Holidays * Beach Holidays * USA Adventures * Luxury Escapes European Cities * Flights * UK Holidays Start planning your next adventure; I’d love to help you!

Sheila here....or Sparkles to many!I’ve been a travel professional for over 34 years and am a self-professed ‘old school’ agent, based near Sudbury, Suffolk.You'll be pleased to know that I have evolved from the tea making/brochure stamping trainee to a travel industry veteran!I of course love to travel...well, go on holiday, there is a difference! But 'holidaying' is right up there with my love of soul music, and my very unguilty pleasure of Rick Astley!I have a revolving door to the Caribbean, having visited more than 80 times and being recognised as an official St Lucia specialist by their tourist board.However, I am an 'all-rounder' and committed to finding the perfect fit for your travel plans, no matter to which corner of the globe, selling a wide range of destinations and refusing to book with suppliers that don’t meet my high standards of customer service.My best piece of travel advice? Book with me... and definitely split your luggage equally between cases!I look forward to speaking with you soon...
