Kate Rouse – Luxury Travel Specialist & Bespoke Itinerary ExpertI always knew I wanted to travel. Perhaps it was growing up in a small Warwickshire village that felt like the middle of nowhere, but the bright lights of the world called to me from an early age. At 17, I convinced my somewhat bemused parents that working for British Airways on a YTS scheme (showing my age here!) was the best decision I could make. And I was right.Sure, Birmingham Airport in the 80s was more “hut in a field” than glamorous international hub, but I didn’t care. I was in my uniform, working in travel, and I never looked back. That first step with BA led to hotels, then to overseas roles, and before I knew it, I was living and working in some of the world’s most fascinating places—Spain, Cyprus, Dubai, Cairo, Aruba, and most recently, Portugal, where I spent 15 years. While most people dream of retiring abroad, I did things in reverse—building a career across the globe before returning to the UK to be closer to family, friends, and to launch my Travel Counsellors franchise.Experience That TravelsDecades of international experience have given me an insider’s perspective on luxury travel—the highs, the hidden gems, the unexpected hurdles. I understand what truly happens when you step off a plane in a new country, and why careful planning and attention to detail can mean the difference between a trip and a once-in-a-lifetime experience. My approach is simple: you relax, I do the worrying. It’s in my DNA. While I am naturally optimistic, I am also a worst-case-scenario planner, ensuring every trip has a Plan B, so you never have to think about it.That’s why Travel Counsellors was a perfect fit for me. Their ‘No ifs, no buts, 100% financial protection’ gives my clients complete peace of mind. Who wants to travel and worry? Not on my watch.Luxury, Bespoke & BeyondMy expertise lies in bespoke, high-end travel, with a particular love for crafting complex itineraries that become treasured memories. I specialise in multi-generational trips, ensuring that everyone, from toddlers to grandparents, has a seamless and unforgettable experience. Having run an exclusive events and catering company in Portugal, I know first-hand what it takes to deliver five-star service to discerning clients and how the smallest details elevate a holiday from great to exceptional.Cruising the WorldI love cruising. It’s one of the most extraordinary ways to travel, and I’ve had the privilege of experiencing cruises across the globe. Whether it’s the Caribbean, the Mediterranean, or the Norwegian fjords, I know how to match you with the perfect ship and itinerary.Bucket List MustAnd then there’s Egypt—a destination that holds a special place in my heart. If you do just one thing in your lifetime, make it a Nile cruise. Egypt is a contradiction—busy, chaotic, and overwhelming, yet utterly spellbinding, steeped in mystery and history that takes your breath away. Imagine drifting along the Nile, watching temples glow at sunset, or floating in a hot air balloon over the Valley of the Kings as the sun rises—it’s magic. And I know exactly how to make it your magic.Let’s Plan Your Next AdventureLuxury travel should be exciting, seamless, and stress-free—and that’s exactly what I deliver. Whether it’s a bespoke itinerary, an exclusive cruise, or a multi-generational escape, I take the time to craft trips that are uniquely yours. And with the backing of Travel Counsellors’ exceptional service and financial protection, you can book with total confidence.I look forward to plotting and planning your next adventure. Let’s make it extraordinary.

As I work from home, I can be available when it’s the most convenient for you, including evenings and weekends.When I’m not creating dream holidays, I’m a keen gardener and nature lover, so I’ll be tending to my flowers and vegetables in the garden or enjoying a long walk with the dog.I look forward to helping plan your perfect holiday very soon!

I am proud to have owned my Travel Counsellor franchise for 18 years now.Having studied Travel & Toursim at College I have had a varied and extensive career within the industry I love. From P&O, Princess Cruises, Austravel, Australian Affair, Ebookers, Lasminute.com and Quest Travel. I have loved the opportunities my roles have given me by allowing me to visit and explore some of the most beautiful destinations, both long and short haul. As the names imply a number of these companies specialised in Tour Operating to Australasia, including Asia, New Zealand and the South Pacific. I was fortunate enough to visit cities and islands within these destinations many times each year, including hosting staff or journalists taking them to far flung areas to truly experience what each region had to offer. Austravel saw me living in Manhattan whilst running the North American division of the company, covering 15 locations including one in Canada.Everything I arrange is bespoke. It does not matter if it's a detailed long-haul holiday or a short city break, it is always put together based on my individual customers needs and requirements, nothing is 'off the shelf' as our requirements are as unique as we are as people.Given my industry experience I prefer not work with mainstream Tour Operators. By working directly with our contracted airlines, hotels, specialist suppliers and local operators I know you will be well looked after at every stage of your holiday. Ensuring you have the best experiences throughout is a priority to me. Indeed the covid years have further reinforced my working practises as I have had to cancel and change so many holidays. This has been done with ease as I have been the one in control alongside the relevant service provider making it simple to obtain refunds or to amend. I am also backed up by an amazing 24/7 team .Not exhaustive but I can arrange: City Breaks, River Cruises, Ocean & Adventure Cruises Long-haul, Short-haul holidays and detailed multi centre or round the world itineraries. Family, couples or singles holidays. Ski, Lapland Weddings, Honeymoons Private planes, helicopters and yachts. ...... Nothing is ImpossiblePlease feel free to call me so that we can chat about your travel requirements and aspirations. For more convenience you can arrange to meet with me, at a mutually agreeable time during the day, evening or weekends, at the Hobo Private Members Club in Loughton.I look forward to hearing from you and becoming your Personal Travel Counsellor.VickyIF YOU CAN DREAM IT I CAN CREATE IT.

Hello! My name is Mark and I’m your Travel Counsellor based in Chester.On this page you will find out more about me. Why I do what I do, what my core business values are and much more!I grew up in The Netherlands and I have been very fortunate in that I have visited all 7 continents before turning 30. I have travelled in many different ways from more adventurous off the beaten track journeys, to taking it slow in gorgeous seaside resorts. I have met amazing people along the way (including my now wife!), seen the most beautiful and dramatic landscapes in New Zealand for example. I got stunned by how raw and real the wildlife is in Africa and Antarctica of course (really feels like you’re in a David Attenborough documentary)! And I’ve been blown away by how beautiful cultures can breathe through generations around Asia and South America, for the better..In turn travel has made me want to inspire others to see the places they dream of. To experience travel in so many ways has given me the advantage to really identify what my clients are looking for when you describe what your wish-list looks like. In Chile is where I started my career in the travel industry. I now have a vast experience in creating entire Round The World journeys, completely tailored holidays from start to finish, island retreats, Honeymoons, Safaris, active adventure holidays and more.After 7 years of experience in the travel industry, creating bespoke experiences for an abundance of happy customers, I felt it was time to really start doing it my way. Working for a high street travel company I always felt a little held back in what I was able to do for my clients, now that is a thing of the past! As your Travel Counsellor, I am impartial to any supplier and I have all the means to always go the extra mile and do right by you. I promise you the best service from our first contact, until you come back and want to plan your next experience.After all, life is about creating experiences, right?Whether you have big plans or only a small idea, let me know. Get in touch and let me enrich your dreams, turn it into reality and keep it hassle free for you.I look forward to hearing from you soon!

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.

**Luxury Travel, Tailored Just for You**Your dream holiday deserves more than a click-and-book service. I’m Kerry, an independent Travel Counsellor based in sunny Poole, Dorset, and I specialise in creating bespoke, stress-free escapes that are as unique as you are.I’ve been helping clients plan unforgettable trips for many years, and my passion for travel runs deep. I’ve explored everywhere from the wilds of Canada’s Yukon - where I watched the Northern Lights dance across the sky and flew over glaciers, to the sugar-soft sands of the Maldives, the vibrant energy of Florida & Walt Disney World, the breath-taking wildlife of South Africa’s Eastern and Western Capes, the crystal-clear waters of Croatia, the unspoilt charm of the Greek Islands, the rugged beauty of Sardinia (where I honeymooned over 20 years ago), and the magical snowscapes of Lapland on an unforgettable snowmobile voyage.Every journey I’ve taken inspires me to create truly personal, one-of-a-kind holidays for my clients. I believe travel is about moments, not just destinations, whether that’s sipping cocktails on an overwater deck in the Maldives, wandering through cobbled streets in Santorini, spotting wildlife on safari in South Africa, or watching the sun set behind the mountains in Canada.Because I work independently within Travel Counsellors, I’m not tied to any airline or operator. That means I can design tailor-made itineraries that combine the best flights, hotels, and experiences into one seamless package, always fully ATOL-protected and backed by 24/7 support while you’re away.Some of my specialisms include:Luxury tailor-made escapes — from the Maldives to Mauritius, Bora Bora to Fiji!USA & Canadian road trips — Route 66, the Rockies, and coastal drivesWalt Disney World Florida — helping families plan magical, stress-free holidaysIsland-hopping — exploring Greece, Croatia, and beyondWinter wonderlands — Lapland, Northern Lights, and snowy adventuresAnd if you just want something simple, like a quick city break, a cruise, a week on the beach, or a relaxing family all-inclusive, I can help with those too.My favourite destinations I’ve loved visiting: Florida, the Maldives, Yukon, Walt Disney World, Croatia, South Africa, Sardinia, the Greek Islands, and Lapland.Coming up next:October 2025 – Madeira June 2026 – Walt Disney World Florida & Formosa Gardens Villa October 2026 – MSC cruise to IrelandBecause I work from my home office, I can speak to you at a time that suits you, even outside of standard working hours. My clients know I’m here for them every step of the way, from the first conversation until they’re safely home with a camera roll full of memories.Booking with me means:- Bespoke, personally tailored holidays - 100% financial protection - A dedicated app with your documents, live updates, and messaging - My expertise, care, and support before, during, and after your tripIf you’re dreaming about your next escape, let’s make it happen together.

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

Hei, Thanks for taking time out to let me outline my and my partner's experience.I learnt my trade working for and with, amongst others, Colin Murison Small who more or less invented the alpine ski 'chalet girl’, Colin Trigger a one time Chairman of ABTA & ATOL, and the legendary Vladimir Raitz who held the country’s first ATOL when in 1949 he sent 21 people to Corsica for £35 a head!! I’ve watched the sun rise over Table Mountain, sink beneath the horizon in the Aegean and stay above it all night in the Svalbard Archipelago. I’ve slept in a mountain hut on the edge of an Icelandic glacier and a staffed villa on a coconut plantation in the Dominican Republic. I've organised family holidays, culture tours, a product launch on an Icelandic glacier, weddings in the sun and snow, sales incentive meetings and more. My partner Anna ( Hyndman Lahna) spent 3 decades working in tour operation, retail travel, repatriation and for Singapore Airlines & South African Airways. What she doesn’t know about airline ticketing isn’t worth knowing. She has equally eclectic experiences to mine having white water rafted on the Zambezi River, trekked by camel across the Gobi desert, flip flopped over the Piranha River Bridge into Paraguay, and trained elves for Father Christmas in Lapland.Together we fuse our collective experience (and experiences) with Travel Counsellors' state of the art technology to plan, polish and perfect your holiday the way you want it to be.

Welcome, I’m HannahI live just outside Marlborough in the Wiltshire countryside, but my head is often somewhere else in the world! My love of travel began at 19 on an unforgettable adventure through India, Nepal and Thailand, and I have been chasing those “come alive” moments ever since.Some of my happiest memories have been made on the road: exploring India, Thailand, Nepal, Australia and Brazil, city-hopping in the US, unwinding in St Lucia and the Maldives, and honeymooning in the dreamy Seychelles. More recently, a family trip to Kenya, combining safari with time on the beach, reminded me just how powerful travel can be for bringing people closer together.Today, I specialise in creating premium, tailor-made holidays for individuals, couples, families and small groups. Think barefoot luxury in the Indian Ocean, meaningful family adventures, romantic honeymoons, elegant cruises, stylish city breaks or energising ski escapes. If you are looking for something special, considered and a little bit different, that is where I do my best work.Before launching my travel business, I spent years in live event production, where attention to detail, calm problem-solving and flawless timing were essential. I bring that same mindset to every itinerary I design, so your holiday feels seamless behind the scenes and effortless for you.Alongside premium leisure travel, I also support music and entertainment clients, drawing on my events background to help with touring and performance-related trips. Working with highly experienced Travel Counsellors colleagues in this space means I can offer the same high level of care and organisation to artists, crews and agents when needed, while keeping my main focus on luxury leisure travel.What really matters to me is getting to know you. I take the time to understand how you like to travel: the pace you enjoy, the details that make you feel looked after, the moments that feel truly special. From the big picture to the little extras such as airport parking, lounge access and smooth check-in, I design every trip as if it were my own.When you book with me as your Travel Counsellor, you will have:- A single, trusted point of contact who knows you and your plans - Financial protection built in - 24/7 support while you are away, so you are never on your own if something changesYour holiday should feel personal, considered and completely yours, not just another booking. When you are ready to plan your next escape, I would love to help you create a trip that feels unforgettable for all the right reasons.

My role as a personal travel consultant is to remove the stress from planning while creating unforgettable travel experiences.Over the last eight years, Maslen Tailormade Travel has grown thanks to the continued support of my clients. Repeat bookings, referrals and word-of-mouth recommendations have allowed the business to grow naturally, and I’m incredibly grateful for that trust.

During a challenging period for global travel, I supported clients with re bookings, refunds and safe returns home. Having an experienced travel professional on your side offers reassurance and clarity when plans change, and that level of support remains a key part of my service.My passion for travel began early, inspired by family trips to destinations such as New York, Rome, Paris and Australia. Those experiences sparked a lifelong curiosity for discovering new places and cultures. I’ve now travelled to over 49 countries and continue to explore whenever possible. First-hand experience plays a vital role in how I work, particularly when planning complex or multi-centre itineraries. The USA is one of my key specialist destinations. I’ve visited over 20 times and explored 20 different states, with Florida and Walt Disney World being firm family favourites. I’ve also experienced road trips, major cities and national parks, including recent family trips to Yellowstone National Park and California.Abbie shares the same passion for travel and exceptional service.

Hi, I’m Tina. I live in Bristol with my husband and two children.I have always had a love for travel, and after backpacking around the world in my early 20s, I knew I wanted to make it my career. Over the last 12 years, I have worked as a Senior Travel Consultant for an industry-leading travel agency, where I specialised in creating tailormade travel itineraries. During this time, I have been lucky to enjoy many wonderful experiences all over the world; including a Harley ride down Cape Town’s Chapmans Peak, following the Great Migration in the Serengeti, driving California’s Big Sur, the excitement of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, watching dolphin megapods playing off the coast of Oman, and witnessing the sun rise in the holy Indian city of Varanasi, where pilgrims come together to pray and bathe in the sacred waters of the Ganges.These days, I am enjoying exploring a little closer to home with my young family; hunting down the best pasteis de nata in the Algarve, finding the most delicious gelato spots in Italy, and relaxing on the beautiful beaches of Mallorca.When it comes to designing an authentic and unique travel itinerary, I combine my extensive knowledge and experience with a thorough understanding of my client’s needs and interests. I will listen and pick up on all details to ensure that my suggestions for your travel are truly personal. I will also be on hand to answer any queries before, during, or after your holiday.

Hi there, my name is Cheryldene - but you can call me Cheryl!I’ve been in the travel industry since I was 17, starting out at a former major high street travel agency, where I quickly realised that travel wasn’t just a job, it was my calling. Since then, I’ve worked across a range of roles, from call centres to shopfronts, gaining a deep understanding of travel planning, customer service, and the importance of getting every detail just right.As my career evolved, I found my passion in luxury travel, discovering that luxury means something different to everyone, and that TRUST means everything. I’ve worked with high-net-worth individuals, global financial institutions and airline partners, arranging everything from first-class flights and private jets to bespoke leisure experiences across the world. I’ve had the privilege of visiting destinations such as Mauritius, Dubai, Thailand, Jamaica, Barbados, Indonesia and Singapore - and I bring that first hand insight into every itinerary I design.

My name is Meher Oliaji, and I learnt one thing from COVID. Working from home is easy. After more than 30 years running my own travel agency, Karnak Travel in Egham, I now have the support and innovative technology to support my clients while working mainly from home. This has been a new adventure for me, as a Travel Counsellor; still working for myself but now with the support of a large travel agency group behind me.With Travel Counsellors I continue booking with the specialist tour operators my clients have learnt to trust over decades. I can also go on doing what I love: building holiday plans and business trips which exactly suit my clients using flights, hotels, excursions, and activities sourced, negotiated and vetted by Travel Counsellors.My experience includes arranging complex tailormade itineraries and tours to Africa, Asia, Australia and America, but also cruises and stay-still holidays to the Caribbean, Europe, and even Newquay, as well of years of arranging business travel to some fairly obscure places.I’m thorough, careful and I try to ensure my clients won’t have to worry about anything because I’ve thought about everything beforehand.I would love to send all my clients to Seychelles, the most beautiful country in the world. But the truth is, since the world’s most perfect beaches were my childhood playground, my own trips have been less relaxing. I loved the grandeur of the Canadian Rockies, the seemingly endless plains of the Serengeti, the Great Wall of China, the ridiculously ornate interior of St Petersburg’s Hermitage. And I’ve wanted, since I visited 30 years ago, to return to Samarkand, now in a country that didn’t even exist then. Strangely, since my travel agency was named Karnak Travel, I have never been to Egypt.I’m quite a fan of group tours, which make seeing a lot really easy, but since my own first exhausting tour aged 19, called “8 Countries in 10 days” I’ve known the benefits of building my own trips and I’ve enjoyed recommending, planning, and booking for other people too. I’m hoping to go on doing that for my past clients and many future ones for a long time to come.

Hi, I'm LizI'm so happy you have visited my page!My career in travel began over 30 years ago, first as a travel agent and later as cabin crew with a major UK airline. Those years gave me a unique insight into the travel experience both as a customer and a service provider and a true understanding of what makes a holiday special.While raising a large family, I moved into education as a Learning Support Assistant, a much-loved and rewarding role that shaped my patience, empathy and ability to truly listen. These skills now sit at the heart of how I work with my travel clients.For the past year, I have proudly worked as a Travel Counsellor, returning to my lifelong passion with renewed knowledge, confidence and enthusiasm and I continue to learn every day. I love researching faraway shores, imagining possibilities and creating tailored trips that truly fit my clients.I’ve experienced all styles of travel, from short breaks and staycations to family, multi-generational, group, Disney, ski (very much Bridget Jones style!), long-haul, luxury and budget holidays. Favourite destinations include Switzerland, Thailand, the Caribbean, Bermuda, Florida, Ibiza, Skiathos and Cornwall.I am particularly passionate about helping those who find travel more challenging. Whether supporting guests with additional needs, sensory sensitivities or reduced mobility, I take time to ensure the right accommodation, calm spaces and appropriate assistance from quiet rooms and pools to airport and aircraft support. With personal experience of caring for loved ones with differing needs, I approach every trip with patience, understanding and genuine care.The award-winning, fully protected Travel Counsellors model allows me to combine global expertise with a truly personal touch. I’d love to connect, hear your ideas and help bring your travel dreams to life.

Hello and welcome. I am Jenny, your personal Travel Counsellor, based in Meols on the Wirral, where I live with my husband Hew and our boys, Joshua and Ollie. Travel is a huge part of our family life: our holidays are when we slow down, reconnect and create the memories that stay with us long after we return home.That feeling is exactly what I want for you.I am passionate about crafting holidays that feel truly personal. By taking the time to get to know you, I will tailor every element of your trip so it matches your wishes, whether you are dreaming of a relaxing beach escape, an action packed adventure or a once in a lifetime celebration.I can help with:• Ski holidays • City breaks • Cruises • Summer sun escapes • Worldwide tailor made itineraries • UK stays and short breaks • Weddings, honeymoons and group holidaysAs an independent Travel Counsellor, I have access to an extensive range of travel options and trusted partners, which means I can find the right holiday for you, not a one size fits all package.Travel and exploration are my own greatest passions, and as well as arranging your individual holidays, I also host and organise escorted tours. These are perfect if you like the idea of travelling with a like minded group, with everything taken care of so you can simply enjoy the journey, whether you are travelling solo or with a partner. Previous tours have visited Iceland, Finland and India’s Golden Triangle, and I am currently planning our next adventure to Kerala in March 2026.I understand how busy life can be and that planning a holiday often happens around work, family and everyday commitments. That is why I am available outside traditional office hours during the week and at weekends, so we can chat at a time that suits you.Whether your plans are big or small, I would be delighted to help turn your next travel idea into reality. I look forward to hearing from you and helping you plan your next unforgettable escape.

I’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.

Thank you for visiting my web page. My name is Daniel and I am based in Market Harborough, Leicestershire. It is a great location but very different to where I was born and brought up in Kenya.Since completing several degrees in Travel & Tourism and Hotel & Hospitality Management, I have worked in the travel industry. For the first 4 years I worked in the leisure sector before switching to business travel of which I am in my 19th year. In this time I have gained a wealth of experience in both sectors which enables me to find the most cost effective solutions for all travel requirements not to mention the many supplier relationships I have built. I am very passionate, proud and firmly believe in excellent customer service and follow the philosophy of treating people in the way you want to be treated. Being a Travel Counsellor has given me the opportunity to run my own business. Working remotely allows me to have access to the latest booking tools and therefore I can give a truly ultimate personal service dedicated to your company as all communication will be dealt by me 24/7, so you can always be rest assured that you will be dealt with promptly and efficiently by someone that knows you and your companies requirements first hand. I can also focus on the individual travellers, to give them the best possible start to their next meeting; making sure every little detail is accounted for. I believe that as part of the service industry - by going above and beyond, this is not a privilege but a right.I have dealt with various SME’s across a broad spectrum of industries from media, Oil, Banking, Consultancies & FMCG’s and no job is too small. Please feel free to contact me with any ‘no obligation’ quotes you may have.

Are you ready for a journey that combines travel, culture, and great food? If you love discovering new places and flavours, I’d love to help you plan an experience that brings them all together. I’m an experienced traveller and hospitality event planner with a passion for exploring the world and enjoying its many cuisines. My goal is to help you discover destinations in a way that feels personal, authentic, and memorable. After spending over ten years in France, I’ve had the chance to explore much of Europe, North and South America, Asia, and the Middle East. These travels have given me a deep appreciation for the connection between people, culture, and food. I create travel experiences that let you do more than just see a place—you get to truly experience it. That might mean visiting a local market, taking part in a hands-on workshop, or enjoying a private meal that showcases regional flavours. Each itinerary is designed to reflect the spirit of the destination and to make every moment special. My background in hospitality, along with my time living in the south of France and the French Alps, has shaped my approach to travel planning. I bring together culture, history, cuisine, and adventure—whether that means finding a hidden local gem, enjoying the slopes, or discovering a quiet spot away from the crowds. If you’re ready to start your next adventure—one that’s full of discovery, great food, and lasting memories—I’d love to be your guide. Let’s plan a journey that blends exploration, relaxation, and flavour in perfect balance. Get in touch, and let’s start planning your next great experience.

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?

I just love anything out of the ordinary, and will always take on a challenge. I can also book packages with the major tour operator brands such as Jet 2. I've worked in the travel industry for over 20 years ago, starting with Thomson Holidays (now Tui) and then the good old days of teletext holidays …how things have changed! I spent 15 years as an event and wedding planner working at some of the most prestigious hotels and venues, including Weston Park in Shropshire. I have arranged over 1000 weddings and lost count of the number of private parties, corporate events and activity days. I returned to travel in 2012 specialising in weddings abroad and luxury travel, and then started my travel business with Travel Counsellors at the end of 2019. There were so many reasons why I chose Travel Counsellors as my business partner.

I have access to thousands of trusted travel providers at my fingertips and as a company we continue to increase the direct contracts we have with hotels and specialist suppliers around the world. This means that I can personally tailor your plans knowing that I am working directly with the local suppliers, and ensuring that I'm securing the most competitive rates for you.

Welcome! My name is Hannah, I love to travel and I love to help you travel too!Since a young age, I have been fortunate to travel many places and experience many different holiday types. My passion and love for travel is now apparent in my children and we are always planning and discussing our next get away. In the last few years, we have been lucky enough to have some amazing trips, in particular Lapland, Iceland, African Safari Adventure and our first taste of Asia. This summer we enjoyed some time in Devon and our annual trip to France. If you know me, you’ll know every year I say it’s the last and then off we go again! Secretly, we actually love it! It’s easy as we travel by ferry and even Lenny our Lab comes along! This year we went to Normandy for the first week and then travelled down to the Loire Valley for our second week. We’ve been to both areas before; Normandy is rich in its history and very interesting with the beaches and museums. 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. I truly care about your holiday, I treat it like my own; even down to producing local guides, recommending trips, local information, and restaurants if that is what you’d like. I work with you so that I can have a good understanding of what you and your travel companions would like. I have access to 1000’s of direct suppliers as well as well-known tour operators meaning I have the flexibility to create your perfect trip. If you already have an idea of what you’d like, that’s fine too, it might just take a bit of tweaking.When you book with me you have one point of contact (me!) on hand before, during and after your trip. Sometimes the unexpected happens and if it’s the middle of the night we have our amazing Duty Office who are 24/7 so even if you can’t get me, you know that you are looked after. Everything you book with me is 100% financially protected. Plus you're supporting a small independent business!Please do get in touch to see if I can help you.

Hi! My name is Helen and I live in Milton Keynes. I set up my own travel business after leaving my previous career in teaching. I wanted to do something that made people smile and after all, that is what holidays are all about. I was also blown away by the ethos of the company and the fact that with Travel Counsellors, it IS personal. I won’t try and sell you the holiday that a specific company wants me to sell. I will help to create the holiday that YOU want instead. As a Travel Counsellor I have access to destinations and experiences all over the world.I absolutely love cruising – both travelling and selling. A cruise is also fantastic way to holiday and I particularly love Northern European cruising and all things Scandinavia. I am also proud to be a member of CLIA (Cruise Lines International Association) with Masters Accreditation.If you've thought cruising is only for the older generation then it is time to rethink. My favourite, and most sailed cruise line is Disney Cruise Line. If you think they are just for families, then think again - the best cruise I did without the children was a Disney one :)One of my other top destinations is the Maldives which I visited for my honeymoon - absolute bliss! My favourite city destination is New York and I can give great advice on Broadway shows to see while you are there. One of my most travelled parts of the world is Scandinavia and whether you want to visit in the summer or winter, want a nature or city break, I can advise you on where to go and when.I can also help if you need advice when travelling with autistic adults or children. I am autistic and my son who is also autistic has grown up going to Disney and cruising. Both of these types of holiday can be scary for someone who is autistic and I can help you navigate things so you can be best prepared for your holiday.However, whatever you are interested in, big or small, I can help as I have a team of experts around me to draw on. I will listen to what you want and then create an itinerary that is perfect for you. I think the personal touch is really important and if you are local then I’m more than happy to meet you in your home or your office - or even a nice coffee shop. As I’m not in the high street I am free to work around you.By booking with Travel Counsellors you are getting access to a wider range of choice than you will with high street travel agents. You will also be dealing with me rather than a call centre. I will take all of the stress and strain out of the holiday from searching for amazing excursions to checking you in at your resort. We have people on the ground at resorts all over the world who will be there to help you 24/7: they are locals who really understand the destination. Should something go wrong you can be assured that our 24/7 team based in Manchester will sort you out if you can’t get hold of me.We are ATOL affiliated and have the best financial protection in the industry – during the pandemic every Travel Counsellor customer received a 100% refund. No vouchers here!I look forward to helping you create your next set of memories and fulfilling your travel dreams.

Hello!I'm Shelley, and welcome to my Travel Counsellor page and thank you for visiting.I'm based in the Lowestoft area and I have been in the travel industry for 24 years, which is something I am very proud of. Before coming a Travel Counsellor I spent 18 years at a high street travel agent which has given me a great deal of experience in booking fantastic holidays and creating memories that will last forever.Being in the industry for so long has enabled me to experience lots of destinations, from white water rafting in the Dominican Republic, a sunset safari in Dubai to a world yacht dinner cruise on the Hudson in New York. It's a big world out there and it's my job to find the holiday that's perfect for you. Whether you are looking for a family-friendly beach holiday, exploring a new city with friends or travelling further afield to celebrate a honeymoon or a special birthday, I will personally be there for you from our first conversation to the minute you get home and beyond.Travel Counsellors is a world-leading independent company offering 100% financial protection and 24/7 care whilst you are away, so rest assured you can have complete peace of mind throughout your booking journey.Being a Travel Counsellor gives me the freedom to work around you, which means I am not bound to the normal opening hours of a high street travel agent and will be available for you at the weekends and in the evenings to help you with all your needs.You can contact me on the number below or send me a message on the link.I can't wait to start planning your next big adventure!

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, I'm Suzanne and I'm really happy to be part of the Travel Counsellors 'family' which must be one of the travel trade's best kept secrets. I love my job and have a passion for travel. I have worked in the travel industry on and off for most of my life. My extensive travels have taken me to all corners of the globe so if you want a homestay or Maharajah's palace in India, a guesthouse or sheer luxury in the Maldives, a safari tent or lodge in Tanzania, gorilla encounter in Rwanda or a trek in the mighty Himalayas I can create or find the perfect trip for you and your expectations. I live with my husband and triplet sons in a South Devon village in between Dartmoor and the coast near Totnes. I love the great outdoors and can be found regularly hillwalking on the moors or canoeing on the River Dart. I also volunteer as a Moorland Leader training teenage Scouts to complete the annual Ten Tors challenge on Dartmoor each winter and spring.Being a completely independent travel consultant means I know which of the thousands of suppliers at my fingertips are the very best option for you and your budget in any of the countries you wish to visit. I really care about my customers and in return you know I can be trusted to provide that trip of a lifetime or short weekend break. I can also create bespoke itineraries for round-the-world journeys or if you are thinking about a cruise, business trip, group adventure, villa in the sun, treehouse in Scandinavia to see the Northern Lights - I can create the perfect trip for you.I am available most days and can be flexible with my hours to suit you. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

I am Jenni and travelling the globe in a creative and alternative way is my passion. I am here to introduce YOU to my way of experiencing the world and all it has to offer. From a young age, I was always fascinated by holidays and hotels. Lucky enough to have experienced many a hotel and holiday by the time I was making those oh so important life choices, I decided to follow my passion and study hospitality at one of the world’s leading hotel schools. This only served to fuel my passion for travel and top notch service and working at places such as The Gleneagles Hotel and The Four Seasons Hotel, London at Park Lane really opened my eyes to many different reasons that people travel. These experiences also helped hone my skills and aptitude for creating truly magical and memorable moments. Following an early career in the hospitality and travel sector, I realised that my passion for helping people plan their travels; from short breaks to lengthy adventures, knew no bounds and that is when my travel business was born.

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?

I have been lucky enough to visit three times over the past few years. It is so beautiful, picturesque, relaxing and so peaceful. An ideal place for a honeymoon, anniversary or just a very special holiday.Over the past few years my husband and I have visited Kefalonia every year, sometimes twice a year, so this is becoming another of our memorable places to visit.We have also recently visited both Skiathos and Santorini, both of which are very beautiful. I will be available Monday to Friday including out of normal office hours so if you wish to contact me I can always return your call at my earliest convenience.If you require any help or assistance in planning your holiday, either a family holiday, a cruise, a city break, a weekend in the UK or in fact anything else, I will always assure you of my best service at all times.I pride myself on my "Customer Service" and I always promise to look after my customers to the best of my ability.I am really looking forward to hearing from you very soon. Give me a call or email me.
