    Starting my own business and setting up with Travel Counsellors is something that feels so natural, I wonder why I didn’t do it sooner. Having spent my career to date in events and luxury hospitality, I feel so passionately about delivering a personal service to clients to make their lives easier and less stressful. I love everything about travel from a fly and flop holiday to backpacking around the lesser known parts of South East Asia, travel has always been a part of my life and a true passion of mine.To me, the idea of having a Travel Counsellor that you know and trust, is like having a personal assistant to manage any and all aspects of what travel and holidays mean to you. Getting to know clients, understanding their needs and requirements, what makes them tick and learning about what they want from a trip is what makes me love doing what I do. For me, researching a new place or putting together an itinerary for a client doesn’t really feel like work and when I say I can research, I will find out everything there is to know to ensure it really will deliver what you’re looking for. As a working mum to 2 young children, having the flexibility to work when and where I want is also a dream come true. I am available to chat (on the phone or online) whenever it suits you, and where possible, would always suggest a meeting in person so I can really get to know you. In the current day, where life sometimes seems impossibly busy, and the internet, whilst it has it’s many benefits, can also leave us feeling overwhelmed and caught in a rabbit hole, I am here to take away any stress that booking a holiday or a trip away may cause. Taking time out of our busy lives has never been more important. Booking with Travel Counsellors doesn’t just mean working with me; you also have the full support of our award winning head office team so if there’s ever a problem, we are all here to support and make sure you get sorted so you can get back to relaxing.

    Travel and holidays are what I have worked and lived for all my life, and I am a firm believer of always having my next holiday booked to have something to look forward to. Holidays mean something different to every person, maybe it is quality family time or a romantic breakaway, exploring a new destination, a honeymoon or a well-deserved break after hard work. Whatever holidays mean to you, I am here to take the headache out of holiday arrangements and make your dream vacation come true.

Whatever time of the day, I am available to contact for help, and when you are on holiday my assistance is a touch of a button away. Having grown up in South Africa, I have been on countless safaris and wine tours and have found my passion for nature and animals in my beautiful home country. Once I had spread my wings beyond the South African borders, my journeys took me to the snowy slopes of Scotland, the pyramids of Egypt, the amazing landscapes of Italy, the coast of Portugal, the crazy rides of Walt Disney World, France, Russia, and countless more. I found I had a serious soft spot for islands and beaches and have been to Zanzibar, Mauritius, Hawaii, Maldives, Sharm El Sheikh, Mozambique and Miami to name but a few! In addition to travelling within most continents, I also discovered the exciting world of scuba diving! Words cannot describe the wonder of being face to face with a whale shark in the Red Sea, hearing dolphins under water in Zanzibar or swimming peacefully next to green turtles off the coast of Maui. I look forward to working with you to create your perfect travel experience!

    Meher Oliaji

    01784 780054 Egham

    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.

    Travel has always been more than just holidays for me. It is connection, anticipation, confidence and having someone in your corner when it really matters.After over 10 years in the travel industry, I have seen first-hand how different a trip feels when it is planned properly, with care, expertise and a real human behind it. Experiencing the value of a travel expert myself was the moment everything clicked. Travel is not just about booking flights and hotels. It is about feeling supported before you go, while you are away and when you come home with memories you will never forget.I love getting to know my clients. What excites you, what you want to avoid, how you like to travel and what will make this trip feel truly special for you. No two people travel the same way, and I believe your holiday should reflect that. My role is to listen first, then design something that fits you perfectly, often in ways you may not have thought of yet.Having travelled extensively across Asia, America and Australia, I bring practical insight, honest advice and those little extra touches that elevate a trip. From restaurant recommendations to timing things just right, I use my experience to help you get the most from every journey.When you book with me, you are of course fully financially protected, have easy access to your travel documents through an app or online portal, and have direct access to me whenever you need support. I handle the details, the logistics and the problem-solving, so you can focus on enjoying the experience.Whether you are dreaming of a short spa escape in Romania, a once-in-a-lifetime experience in Thailand, or standing on the edge of the Grand Canyon, I would love to help bring it to life.Travel should feel exciting, personal and completely taken care of. If that is what you are looking for, let’s start planning. If not now, then when? WhatsApp: 07514369905 Email and Social media below

    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 Charlotte and I am a Travel Counsellor living in North London with my husband and two children.I have had the pleasure of working in the travel industry, gaining over 10 years experience. I began my travel career working on the high street as a trainee travel advisor, progressing to Assistant Manager and then acting Branch Manager, working in various locations throughout UK.My passion for travel has given me a great opportunity to visit some amazing destinations and I would love to share my experiences with you. I have been fortunate to visit some inspiring travel locations such as, Austria, Switzerland, New York, The Caribbean, Mexico, Costa Rica, Italy, Spain, Greece, Turkey, Cyprus, Canaries, Balearics, Gambia, India, Egypt, Morocco, Seychelles, Thailand and the magical Euro Disney.I have zip lined through the treetops of Costa Rica’s rainforest, had an incredible adventure travelling through Thailand, visited the mythical Mayan ruins in Mexico, skiing in Austria and Switzerland, and made magical memories with my children watching their favourite Disney characters come to life at Euro Disney. Whether you’re after an all inclusive holiday, last minute deal or family holiday there’s an array of breaks on offer but, with our lives being increasingly busy, booking a holiday – and getting the best deal can feel like a daunting task. You could easily spend weeks searching the most suitable options, jotting down the best places to visit, trying to figure out where you’d most like to go. Sound exhausting? My role as an independent travel counsellor is to help you keep the holiday planning as stress free as possible, and don’t forget that my expert travel advice is only a phone call away. I will remain your point of contact throughout the whole booking process. I’ll be working from home, which means I’m available at a time that suits you, including evenings and weekends.As a Travel Counsellor I have access to the high street tour operators, thousands of hotels, flights and experiences that affords me the flexibility to tailor make your dream holiday or build a bespoke package at a competitive price, whatever your requirements might be and at no extra cost.

    Planning a holiday should be exciting, not stressful. That’s where I come in. With years of experience in the travel industry and access to an extensive network of over 2000 travel counsellors worldwide, I am here to make your dream trip a reality. Whether you're looking for a relaxing beach retreat, an adventurous safari, or an unforgettable city break, I have the insider knowledge to make it happen seamlessly.Traveling to exotic destinations can come with its own set of challenges and navigating travel logistics can be complex. You might be surprised by some of the details that can make or break a trip. Did you know that: In countries like Italy and France, hotel rooms often don’t include tea and coffee facilities as standard? Or that many hotels in the Hawaii charge resort fees payable upon arrival, something most people aren’t aware of when booking online? In Botswana, for example, many safari camps have private landing strips that aren’t listed on online booking sites, making it difficult to arrange flights without expert help. In Dubai, hotels often expect children to share beds with their parents unless an additional roll-away bed is requested in advance. And if you’re heading to South Africa for a safari, there are specific clothing restrictions to ensure you don’t disturb the wildlife. Long layovers can be an opportunity rather than an inconvenience—airports like Singapore Changi and Istanbul offer free city tours for transit passengers, a perk that many travellers are unaware of.These are the kinds of insights that make all the difference—and why having a travel expert by your side is invaluable.For those seeking unique experiences, I can help you discover unforgettable moments you might not find in a standard guidebook. Imagine waking up in Cappadocia and watching hot air balloons drift by from your terrace at sunrise. Or enjoying breakfast in Kenya while giraffes poke their heads through the windows to say hello. Perhaps you’d like to arrive in New York and take a seven minute helicopter transfer straight to Manhattan, buzzing past the Statue of Liberty? These are the kinds of experiences that turn a holiday into a lifelong memory.When you book with me, you’re not just getting a travel agent—you’re gaining a trusted partner who will take care of every detail. From checking you in and arranging restaurant reservations to organising private tours and ensuring you have a point of contact during your trip, I’ll be with you every step of the way. I only recommend destinations and experiences that meet my own high standards, ensuring that every trip I plan is one I would take myself. And if I haven’t experienced a destination personally, I go the extra mile to conduct thorough research, ensuring it fits your needs perfectly.My clients return time and time again, and I treat every holiday like it’s their dream come true. Whether you have a clear idea of where you want to go or are looking for inspiration, I am here to take the stress out of planning and create an experience that exceeds your expectations.Life is short and the world is wide. So, what are you waiting for? Get in touch to plan your next adventure.

Jaxon is my musical child playing 3 instruments (drums, guitar and piano) plus he competes in Trampoline.I have worked for various travel agencies. My first one was Going Places many moons ago, and I was bitten by the travel bug. I have worked for a large tour operator and also worked for a corporate business travel house. I left travel briefly to work in the family business, however I found I missed it terribly as travel really is my passion and when I decided that I wanted to go back, there really was only one company I would consider going to and that was Travel Counsellors. They are the best of the best. I have been lucky to have travelled a lot in my lifetime including Europe, Caribbean, USA including Las Vegas, which is one of my favourite places, Dubai, The Maldives, The Far East including Singapore and Thailand. I took my mother to Thailand for her 50th Birthday, she says it was a trip of a lifetime for her.

I have done several cruises and I also achieved captain status award for Royal Caribbean/Celebrity Cruises and Azamara by completing all their product training. One of my ultimate favourite trips was Christmas Eve 2015 I took my children and my mum to Lapland to search for the real Father Christmas, it was magical.A lot of people ask me what my favourite holiday is to organise, and I have to say that an multi-centre holidays get me excited, trying to fit all the pieces together is like a fabulous puzzle. Travel Counsellors have a high standard of customer care and this is one of the most important things for me, I always will go the extra mile for you as my customers, so if there is anything I can do to make your trip even more special please do ask and if it’s in my power, then you can consider it done.A lot of people think using a personal travel advisor is going to cost them a lot more but I can tell you it doesn’t and the best part of all is you have the peace of mind of having someone at the end of the phone if something doesn’t quite go to plan and that is really priceless.I really do look forward to hearing from you and helping you your next trip whatever that may be or wherever that may take you.

    Hi, I'm Grant - welcome to my webpage!I have 25 years' experience working within the travel industry, working for a well known UK travel brand. I started my career in Kensington, London, before relocating to the Nottingham area nearly 15 years ago. I have worked particularly in the field of First and Business Class travel, but am well versed in arranging all types of travel arrangements, individually building holidays for clients to all corners of the globe.My passion for travel has always been there from a young age, when my uncle who worked in the airline industry used to tell us tales of his travels around the world... his adventures struck a chord with me that never left. I set of on a journey around the world in 1999 which was to last nearly two years, and included over 50 countries with countless experiences - from snowmobiling in Norway, watching golden eagles swoop into Lake Dal in Kashmir, India at sunset, then sitting in Olympic Stadium during the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games.I have experienced so many different types of holiday, including several cruises, group tours, individual touring, motorhome holidays, beach holidays, which I think gives me a great insight into the holidays my clients are planning. My service includes visa advice for the countries you plan to visit, along with information on immunisations.My mission is to constantly exceed the expectations of my clients, be it arranging a meal on a mountaintop in Oman, or a special anniversary dinner at an underwater restaurant in the Maldives - nothing is too much trouble.I live in Castle Donington, Derbyshire, with my wife (who I met in Fiji 25 years ago during my travels...) and two children aged 15 and 13 years. My kids also now have the travel bug - in 2014 we took them to Australia for a month, where they had a magical time, getting around on planes, trains, boats, bikes... and even a helicopter on the Great Barrier Reef.So, whether you are looking for a short break to one the great European capitals, a cruise in the Caribbean, a trip on the Orient Express, relaxing on a beach in Mauritius, or the trip of a lifetime around Australia, please get in touch.I look forward to hearing from you - feel free to contact me during office hours or in the evening, at a time that suits you.

    02890 080 016 Holywood

    My name is Fiona and I live near the lovely town of Holywood on the County Down coast.Thank you so much for visiting my website and here is a little bit about myself!My great love of travel started at the early age of 5 when my Dad used to take me to watch the planes taking-off and landing at Dulles Airport in Washington DC. I can also remember a game we played whereby he would ask me to name the capital city of various countries and I just got hours of amusement from this.After completing my degree in French at the Queens University of Belfast, I took a year out during which I spent 4 months in the beautiful city of Vancouver with my aunt and uncle. It was just an amazing time and, after that, I finally made my mind up that I wanted to start my working career in the travel industry.I now have over 30 years of experience in mainly business travel and it really is hard to believe where the time has gone! I started in the travel agency environment before I moved into the IT industry nearly 18 years ago where my expertise was, for the most part, used to manage corporate travel programs. I guess, therefore, that I can say I’ve worked on both sides of the fence so have an excellent understanding of the needs of both the client and the supplier.The company which I most recently worked for has 5 core values: integrity, passion, innovation, humility and transparency and I genuinely believe that I live my life in accordance with these values. They are of a great help to me in my workplace and personal life.I am absolutely delighted to now be at the stage in my career of running my own business and helping corporates to manage their travel programs. That said, I’m passionate about all aspects of travel and, in the knowledge that personal holidays are so important to us all, I would be more than happy to look after these too. I have travelled widely on long haul trips as well as weekend breaks and longer holidays within Europe.I pride myself in offering a personal, cost-effective and time-saving service. My working hours are flexible and I research each and every trip thoroughly to ensure best value, suitability and convenience are obtained. The term “that’ll do” just does not come into my vocabulary.I do hope that my service may be of interest to you. I really would appreciate the opportunity to work with you with the aim of creating that “perfect trip” over and over again!Best Wishes, Fiona

I provided a 5*, 24/7 Concierge Service in Tenerife and then continued to do a further season in Cyprus. Following my time with Sovereign, I was offered a Guest Services/Duty Manager position at The Annabelle Hotel, Paphos, where I spent a further two years before sailing the Eastern Caribbean as a Social & Welfare Host for Marella Cruises.Now, as a Travel Counsellor, I combine all my previous experiences to provide a high-quality service I am extremely proud to offer you.

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.

I also have a very good knowledge of Europe. If you are planning a holiday closer to home, I am also on hand to assist you with anything from UK and European weekend or city breaks and if you prefer more of a home-from-home holiday I can arrange luxury Villa holidays across Europe, Florida and the Caribbean.Being a mother of three grown up children and with two very energetic grandchildren, I can also offer personal advice on family holidays.

    I have always loved travelling; the opportunity to visit exciting countries and experience diverse cultures is surely one of life’s greatest luxuries. I have taken that passion for travel into my work as I love arranging holidays and booking trips for my clients. I offer a bespoke, personal service backed-up by years of experience in the travel industry. I have the instincts to recognise what clients want as well as the knowledge of how to find the best bookings for them. The Travel Counsellors network provides all the support necessary to make sure that through me you will receive the best possible care and the best possible deals.In my time I have been lucky enough to travel across almost every continent on the planet – Antarctica remains a goal for the future! My favourite part of the world remains the Far East; not least because it brings back happy memories from my honeymoon in Burma but also due to wonderful trips to Cambodia, Borneo and Thailand amongst others. The levels of service, care and attention to detail that you receive as a guest in the Far East always amazes me and always has me longing to go back.In addition to the Far East I have travelled through India, Australia and New Zealand, the Amazonian rain forest and the Masai Mara. The two most striking places that I have visited must be the awe-inspiring Angkor Wat in Cambodia and Utah’s Monument Valley – not least due to its complete contrast to nearby Las Vegas.It’s not just exotic holidays that I can help you with. I also have extensive knowledge of European destinations as well as within the British Isles and I am here to help you with every type of booking.Like you I expect the highest standards when I travel. As my client you can rest easy knowing that all your travel needs will be looked after to the highest possible degree throughout your booking and holiday experience.
