I am based in Crawley, near Gatwick airport. It is a fantastic location for me, being able to travel into London City, to Brighton for a day by the sea or even hop on a plane to check out a new destination. I live with my partner who works in the hospitality trade and our three young children, twin boys and a girl, who all keep me on my toes.My background started in the hotel sector before getting the travel bug. It all began when working as an international conference and incentive organiser. Arranging large groups of key workers for a trip of a lifetime. It was here I was able to experience cities and various destinations to their full potential.On to the next great adventure - flying, I decided to travel in a different way, as cabin crew. Time to see destinations I would not think to see and expand my knowledge in the aviation world. Whilst I loved this fast-paced lifestyle, I missed the structure and the chance to organise the trips of a lifetime for top achievers. I returned to event management here I was fortunate to travel to Asia and also experience the humongous A380 aircraft when it was first launched.After starting a family and not being able to travel with work as much I changed my job to become a travel expert for a luxury travel company where I was able to experience more European destinations and get a greater understanding of the leisure market.I have so many favourite destinations and all for different reasons but if I had to pick, it would be Singapore for its diverse culture and variety of activities there are two sides to this city and that is something you will have to experience by booking with me!Becoming a Travel counsellor enables me to be accessible to customers on a 24/7 basis, I can discuss your requirements at a time that is convenient for you.

Look at the web page of any Travel Counsellor and you will see we all sing the same song, we are all passionate about travel.The passion comes from discovery of a new exciting destination or the revisiting of places familiar.The fun begins when the decision is made about the latest holiday choice for yourself or a joint adventure to look forward to with friends or loved ones. I just love helping people towards that moment when the deposit is paid and the ticking off of the calendar can begin.My fascination with travel began when I was very young as my father worked abroad for long periods in the late 50s and 60s when it took a week to get to South America! Where most people see hustle and bustle at an airport, I see everyone either at the start or the end of an adventure.For me, guest experience is paramount. The nicest part is getting to know my clients so I can help them find the perfect bespoke holiday experience. I have travelled and lived for five years in Australia, travelled and lived for 16 years in Spain, visited USA, Indonesia, Greece and the Islands, Italy, France and the Baltics. Before joining the Travel Counsellors team I worked as a cruise specialist for 4 wonderful years for one of the most award winning cruise companies in the world.

Meet Kirsty – Your Personal Travel SpecialistHi, I'm Kirsty, and travel isn’t just my career ...... it’s my lifelong passion.My love for exploring the world began at just 15 years old, the moment I stepped onto my first plane.

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

Whether you are seeking adventure, discovery, rejuvenation or simply somewhere special to relax with your family, I would love to help you create your own wonderful memories.Over my long and varied travel career I have seen many changes in the way that holidays are presented and bought. The internet may have enabled people to create their own trips, but the process is fraught at the best of times, and ultimately you travel without support. We have all had the irritation of unmanned email addresses and no contact numbers when seeking assistance from a human being. What might appear a modern convenience can all too easily become a frustrating experience and a false economy.We offer a personal service and take the time to find out what makes the perfect holiday for you and your family. I appreciate that all stages of the booking cycles are equally important, this means I’ll be with you every step of the way to ensure everything runs smoothly. Our 100% financial cover will give you complete peace of mind together with our round the clock 24/7 support team.

Each opportunity to travel is precious and I want to ensure you get the most out of every holiday.You will find me informed but informal and available at the times that suit you.

Travel has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. When I was two, my family moved to The Bahamas and from that moment on, travel became part of who I am. With over 45 years of exploring destinations around the world, both professionally and personally, travel is not just my job, it is my life.Over the years, I have been lucky enough to experience travel in many different ways. I have travelled extensively through Australia, horse‑trekked in New Zealand, and lived an active outdoor life windsurfing and sailing in the Caribbean and Greece. I have enjoyed luxury, food‑focused escapes in the Maldives and Mauritius, unforgettable family adventures to Disney World, magical winter experiences in Lapland, and camping under the stars in Oman. I have skied in France and loved countless city breaks from Venice to Hong Kong.My career has included time as a specialist sports tour operator, helping fans follow major events such as the Lions tour and the Ashes. I am very used to organising complex, multi‑stop itineraries where every detail matters, and I bring that same level of care and precision to every trip I plan.I have experienced holidays in all their forms: family escapes, city breaks, luxury retreats, adventure holidays, group trips, solo journeys and romantic getaways. Because I have lived them myself, I understand what makes each type of trip special and just how important it is to get it right.That is why booking through me feels different.I take the time to really listen to what you are dreaming of, how you like to travel and what matters most to you. For me, it is never just about flights and hotels. It is about the thoughtful details, the little extras and the reassurance of knowing someone genuinely cares about your trip from start to finish. I create journeys that feel personal, seamless and completely you.When you book with me, you can expect:. One‑to‑one personal care . Tailor‑made travel experiences designed entirely around you . 100 percent financial protection through ATOL . Protection through Travel Counsellors Trust . 24‑hour support, even whilst you are awayWhen I am not planning holidays, you will usually find me at our seaside restaurant in Pembrokeshire, serving the freshest seafood and spending time with my children. More often than not, they are out on the water sailing, fishing or paddle boarding in the bay, which reflects the balance, freedom and connection I value in life and in travel.I love building long‑lasting relationships with my clients and helping them create memories they will treasure long after the suitcase is unpacked. No call centres, no pressure, just thoughtful planning, expert guidance and a friendly face you can trust.So, where to next? I would love to help you make your next journey truly special.

Travel is my destiny – I knew that when I was 4 years old and tried selling a holiday to my 1-year-old sister… with little success. This didn’t faze me though, on the contrary. We were fortunate to be able to travel to many places in Europe when we were growing up and before long, I was the one arranging our high-school end-of-term trip to the South of France.To properly kickstart my career in the industry, I studied Travel and Tourism Management in my home country, Switzerland, and as a reward to myself for graduating, I packed my backpack (or two and the kitchen sink – it was in 2006 after all, long before smart phones and a lot of the bulk was from guide books and maps) and flew on my own to São Paulo to start my South and North America backpacking trip. Over the course of 10 months, I travelled mainly overland through Brazil, Argentina, Peru, Ecuador, Louisiana, the US East Coast, Ontario, Alaska, British Columbia and all along the Pacific Coast to LA. It was absolutely amazing and an unforgettable experience – especially the 52 hours on the bus from Salta (Argentina) to Lima (Peru). A little fun fact: In the last 20 years I have lived in 6 different countries including a summer holiday in Iceland, working in the local hostel and a season working in a hotel on Gran Canaria. By far my favourite places were Vancouver as a city and New Zealand as a country though and the places I went back to several times; I even got married in a small coastal town outside Christchurch/NZ to my Kiwi husband. Our first major trip as a new family was last year, when we finally introduced our pre-schooler to our NZ family as well as friends in Vancouver - only three years later than originally planned, thanks to Covid.Another outcome of the pandemic was me losing my job with the Switzerland Travel Centre, a specialist tour operator for Switzerland. During my time there I worked closely with Travel Counsellors and remembering my chats with a number of my favourite TCs was the catalyst for me to start my own journey as an independent travel advisor and franchise owner. Now I cannot wait to explore the world with Travel Counsellors, my family and of course you! I love sharing my experiences and knowledge – as a travel agent as well as fellow traveller and am looking forward to convert your dreams into stories and memories.

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.

I have worked in the travel industry in both leisure and corporate travel for over 20 years now. A gap year desire to travel became three years of living and working in various far-flung places, but I found I was always working for small tour companies, at hotels and once even on a yacht around Madagascar!My desire to travel and work within this industry lead me first to leisure and tailor-made trips. The conversation of where to go and what to do when there, to make every trip full and unforgettable with someone is always a great experience. I still travel as often as possible as there is no substitute for real first experience of that feeling when you walk into an amazing lobby or just warm and charming hotel. There is no way to describe the sand between your feet or a wonder of an ancient temple without the feel and sense of awe. That’s what I get to sell. While I have a passion for these trips, my long career lead to a focus on corporate travel over the last 8 years. The fast pace and often complicated logistical nature is something I found I really enjoy. While the travel may be corporate, I believe the service should be personal and in a friendly manner. I have experience with meetings, groups, conferences and can assist in writing and implementing travel policy and booking process if needed.

Hi, I’m Soozie, your personal TC based in Bookham, where I live with my husband, son and our 2 dogs.Travel has been part of my life since I was young, from UK & European family holidays to more exotic adventures in the Far East and Indian Ocean. I even said “I do” in Las Vegas, followed by an unforgettable visit to the Grand Canyon, because I have always believed that travel should be personal, memorable and a little bit different. Over the last 25+ yrs in the industry, I have turned that passion into a career, helping clients create trips that feel truly special, from simple beach breaks to once‑in‑a‑lifetime journeys.My favourite destinations are hard to choose, as every trip is unique, but a few stand out. The Maldives has a big piece of my heart. The white sands, crystal‑clear water and incredible marine life are simply breath-taking. Watching manta rays glide through the water in the evening, spotting baby reef sharks at the water’s edge and snorkelling with colourful fish are memories I will never forget. Even the seaplane transfer feels like the start of the adventure as you fly over tiny islands and land beside the pristine beaches.Mauritius is another firm favourite and one of my top‑selling destinations. Here, you have stunning beaches plus the freedom to explore safely, perhaps by hiring a car and discovering waterfalls, viewpoints and local markets. It is fantastic for weddings, honeymoons and special celebrations - which I can help with.I also have a real love for the Far East. Thailand, with its delicious food, friendly people and mix of culture & beach, is always popular. I work a lot with touring and adventure holidays across Asia, India & Japan, as well as South America and bucket‑list destinations such as Antarctica.Most recently I travelled on an escorted tour of Saudi Arabia and a tour in Jordan, which were both incredible. From ancient sites and dramatic desert landscapes to warm local hospitality and lesser‑known cultural experiences, these trips have really deepened my knowledge of the Middle East. I now love helping clients who are curious about these emerging and more adventurous destinations.As a Travel Counsellor, I am part of an award‑winning company with a unique financial trust, which means everything I book is 100% financially protected. This peace of mind is one of the key reasons I chose to join Travel Counsellors. I have access to a huge range of trusted suppliers and can put together almost any kind of trip: tailor‑made itineraries, escorted tours, adventure and small‑group journeys, Indian Ocean and beach escapes, USA and city breaks, Alaska and cruise, Lapland and winter wonderland breaks, ski holidays and sports travel including cycling and golf.I am also proud to have been selected as a Tour Ambassador within Travel Counsellors, reflecting my particular expertise in touring, adventure and bucket‑list travel. I regularly train with our suppliers, keeping up to date with new tours, routes and best sellers, so I can match you with the right style and pace of trip, whether you are travelling solo, as a couple, with friends or as a family.When you book through me, you support a local small business and gain your own dedicated travel expert. I save you time by doing the research, compare the options for you and design holidays that are tailored to your tastes. Many of the complex tours and combinations I create are not easily found online. I am at the end of the phone, WhatsApp or email, and for local clients I will often hand‑deliver tickets and documents where I can. I can also arrange appointments outside normal office hours to suit your schedule.I genuinely care about getting it right and I love the challenge of finding the perfect holiday, whether that is a relaxing beach, a cultural tour, an epic road trip or a once‑in‑a‑lifetime expedition. If you are starting to dream about your next escape or that big bucket‑list adventure, I would love to help bring it to life.

Hello, and thank you for visiting my webpage. My name is Bev, and I live in Worcester Park, Surrey. I have 2 children aged 9 & 7.I have worked in travel for 23 years, the majority of which I have specialised in corporate travel. I find building up relationships with clients with whom I speak on a weekly or even daily basis to be very rewarding, but that doesn’t stop me enjoying arranging leisure travel as well where possible. Whilst working for another company, I qualified several times for the annual global ball, which I’m pleased to say put me in the top 10% of the company for sales. I’m particularly proud of an individual award for Outstanding Customer Service, something I always strive to achieve.I count myself lucky to have been able to travel extensively, the highlights of which are 3 years working in Japan and a 3-month sabbatical to South America. What I love about Travel Counsellors is the opportunity to offer flexible business hours to my clients, and be on call when they need me. The extensive range of airfares and hotel contracts gives me full confidence that I can offer the client whatever they need. Listening to clients is so important, and although I may ask a lot of questions about the nature of their travel, this is only to ensure I provide options that are relevant - I’m not just a personal search engine, I will always go out of my way to be able to offer quotes on all elements of travel, whether that be private transfers, airport assistance, hotel requests or how to book a dog on board.For the last 2 years I have won the Corporate Customer Feedback award, of which I am incredibly proud.Therefore, please feel free to contact me for further details, or even better trial our services.

Hi, I’m Michaela, a Manchester based Personal Travel Counsellor with over 23 years of experience in the travel industry.My love for travel started young, thanks to my grandparents’ shipping business, as I got to travel the world with them. I was lucky enough to explore the world before tourism took off in places like the Middle and Far East. Those early adventures sparked a lifelong passion for discovering new destinations, cultures and unforgettable experiences.Today, I specialise in creating tailormade holidays for all types of travellers, whether it’s a once in a lifetime USA road trip, a family beach escape, an escorted tour, or an intricate multi-centre adventure across the globe. I have particular expertise in the USA and Canada, as well as in designing intricate multi centre itineraries, but with access to hundreds of trusted suppliers and trade-only travel brands, I can help you explore just about anywhere.I’ve explored the USA, Canada, the Middle East, Far East, Europe and for a short, quick holiday, there’s a little corner of Turkey that’s my go to, it’s my happy place at least once a year.Some of my own travel highlights include helping at an elephant rehabilitation centre in Chiang Mai, stargazing with my family in the remote American wilderness during an RV holiday, getting married in Las Vegas, climbing Sigiriya Rock, waking up to powder-white sands on Florida’s Gulf Coast, and experiencing the magic of Disney through my son’s eyes on his very first visit in 2004, and in fact every year after that until 2014. These are the moments that make travel unforgettable, and I love helping others create memories just as special.What really drives me is getting to know my clients and understanding what they’re dreaming of, and then building something personal around it. I love nothing more than chatting through your ideas, and turning them into the kind of trip you’ll talk about for years to come.As your Travel Counsellor, I offer a one to one service from start to finish, I’m here to take the stress out of planning and give you complete peace of mind.Away from work I’m also a wife and mum, and I truly value the flexibility this role gives me, not only to be there for my family, but for my clients too.

Thank you for visiting my page. Let me introduce myself. I have worked in travel for over 36 years. I used to manage a local high street agency and I have also taught travel part-time at the Isle of Wight College.I have been fortunate to visit many countries including New Zealand, Australia, Peru, South Africa, Sri Lanka, the Maldives, Argentina, Brazil, Thailand, North America and Canada plus a host of destinations closer to home.It is hard to pick my favourite destination because there are so many. All countries offer their own history, diversity and culture which is what makes travel so enriching. Each trip becomes a personal discovery. Some of my most memorable experiences include visiting Machu Picchu in Peru where I climbed Huayna Picchu (Young Mountain); another includes taking a jet-boat ride on the Shotover River and a balloon flight over the Canterbury Plains during a visit to South Island in New Zealand. Similarly, witnessing the dramatic Iguazu Falls on the Brazilian/Argentine border by helicopter rates equally as memorable.During my career, I have seen many changes within the travel industry and as an agent, it is important to adapt to these changes. In 2015 I joined Travel Counsellors to offer a more bespoke, flexible service and to be part of a network of travel professionals, where customer service is a core value.Not only am I passionate about my job I am dedicated to it. I enjoy doing the research to give my clients competitive options with reliable suppliers coupled with a more personal service. A holiday, after all, is often a considered purchase and it is important to know it is in safe hands.So whether you are planning a long-haul itinerary or a short UK break or considering an ocean cruise or a boating holiday or taking to the slopes for a winter ski trip or a relaxing get-away-from-it-all beach holiday, I am on hand to help find that holiday that best suits your needs. I have experience in arranging anything from school groups, family holidays or an emergency last-minute flight. At Travel Counsellors I have access to award-winning technology and resources and moreover, I am on hand at hours to suit you. Even if you just need impartial, unbiased advice, please contact me. I look forward to hearing from you.

Clients often ask me for my favourite destination — an impossible choice!

I would like to welcome you to my page and introduce myself to you. My name is Jodie Rainton, married to Danny and we have 2 gorgeous children. I have had a passion for travel since I was a very young girl when I was lucky enough to sit with my parents whilst they booked our annual family holiday. I decided at that very young age the travel industry was what I was destined to go into. On leaving school I applied to all the local travel agents for a job and was lucky enough to be offered a position as a modern apprentice in a local high street store. I worked very hard in this role and I was offered a fulltime position as a travel advisor and have had a very successful career in the travel industry for over 18 years. I have always been an ‘A’ performer and very proud of my achievements. My passion and attention to detail when organising my own holiday is exceptional, and I would treat any customer enquiry with the same approach and enthusiasm. In the 18 years I have worked in the industry I have been privileged to travel to many foreign places, these include New York, Las Vegas, Florida, Cruises, Ski Holidays and many European countries, so I am confident my experience and product knowledge will assist you well when you are looking for you chosen destination. I can tailor-make your dream holiday, whether it’s a short UK break or a Worldwide holiday of a lifetime. I offer a personal service and can be available at a time to suit you, whether it is an evening appointment or a weekend, we are not set to shop hours so this flexibility is also an advantage. We cover all our holidays with the best financial protection in the industry to give you the comfort of knowing your booking is in safe hands. It will be an honour to look after you and all your travel requirements from your enquiry through to your return to the UK. I look forward to helping with your future holiday requests.

Travel has been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember. My own adventures began at the age of four, with magical family holidays to Orlando and journeys across US states such as Georgia and Texas. As I grew older, travel became even more ingrained in my world especially when I was fortunate enough to explore incredible places like Colorado, New York City and Australia during work trips. Now, as a busy mum of two wonderful children, I want to make the most of every school holiday and long weekend, creating treasured memories for us all. With most of my career spent in technology sales, I’m genuinely delighted to bring that experience to my work as a Travel Counsellor.

I've always been the "go-to travel person" in my circle - the one people message at 10pm asking "What's the weather like here?" or "Can you check my itinerary?" After working in travel before and planning more holidays than I can count, turning that passion into something I get to do every day just made sense. Travel has always been a huge part of my life. I genuinely believe it's one of the best things you can do for your mental health - whether that's switching off on a beach. exploring somewhere new, or finding a place that makes you feel a bit more like yourself again. That feeling is exactly why I love what I do. Seeing someone return home relaxed, refreshed and full of memories, knowing I played a small part in it, is something I'll never get tired of. I'm a solo traveller at heart and have explored Europe, Thailand and Canada. My next bucket list trip is Antarctica next year, which I'm super excited about. Greece, though, is the place that has my whole heart - and where I hope to live one day with my Golden Retriever, Digby. Speaking of Digby...he's officially my Head of Marketing and Chief Happiness Officer. He specialises in morale boosting, attention-seeking, and reminding me when it's time for a holiday. He also keeps me well-trained in finding the best dog-friendly spots - we're planning a trip to France after Christmas so if you're wanting to travel with your pet, you're in very capable hands. My approach is simple: no pressure, just honest advice and thoughtful, tailored travel planning. I take the time to understand what matters to you and make sure every detail feels 100% perfect. Wherever you're dreaming of next, I'm here to help you get there - stress-free, excited, and ready to make those unforgettable memories.

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.

Nestled on Cornwall’s rugged north coast, I share life’s adventures with my husband, a pilot whose routes often take him to the serene Isles of Scilly and the Channel Islands, and our two children. Our surroundings are a constant reminder of the beauty that’s waiting to be discovered – both close to home and far beyond.My love of travel began young, thanks to my parents’ spirit of adventure. Our family’s round-the-world journey spanned the Far East, Australia, America, and an unforgettable month exploring New Zealand by campervan in the depths of winter. From that moment on travel became a lifelong passion and I have seized every opportunity to explore the world ever since.With over 25 years of experience in the travel industry, I’ve had the privilege of turning my passion for exploration into a lifelong career. My journey has taken me to extraordinary corners of the globe, from months spent immersing myself in the vibrant cultures of India and Nepal, to countless adventures across Australia and New Zealand. One of my most cherished memories is returning to Mauritius for my honeymoon, where I discovered the exhilarating joy of kitesurfing on the sparkling waters of the Indian Ocean. Travel is more than my profession, it’s my way of life, and I am dedicated to curating unforgettable journeys for each and every client.Before joining Travel Counsellors, I specialised in crafting tailor-made holidays for clients heading to Australia, New Zealand, and the South Pacific, developing a deep expertise that earned me accreditation as both a ‘100% Pure New Zealand Specialist’ and an ‘Aussie Specialist’. My first-hand knowledge means I can offer truly authentic insight and recommendations.Travel is highly personal, and I take great pride in delivering a service that goes far beyond booking a holiday.

Hello and a warm welcome to the world of travel….. Thank you for visiting my website and allowing me to help you with your future travel plans.I think travelling has always been in my DNA since exploring the world working as cabin crew to living in Australia for over ten years. I have since lived in god’s country Yorkshire with my family for twenty three years and worked in the hospitality business for over twenty years.I love visiting new places, meeting people and experiencing their different cultures. Recently I became a fan of cruising and discovered a new way to explore other exciting destinations, but I still have a long list of other places I am inspired by and want to visit.I believe that offering the best service and building a personal rapport will allow me to create bespoke packages that are exactly right for you.With the latest guidance on passenger travel as an independent Travel Counsellor I will listen, save you time and offer you a confidential and trustworthy service which is 100% financially protected.Let me hear your travel ideas simple or complicated, small or extensive and I will work with you to make them reality. Call or email me and I will respond straight away.Charlotte“Nothing ever becomes real till it is experienced” John Keats

Hello, If you’ve arrived at this page, there’s a good chance you’re looking for a holiday, a weekend break, or a once-in-a-lifetime trip. If so, you’re off to the perfect start! My name is Nadia. I am a personal Travel Counsellor and part of an award-winning organisation with 30 years’ experience in the industry. Travel has always been an essential part of my life, allowing me to share some of the most beautiful and memorable moments with my friends and family. From sunrise at Angkor Wat to sunset on Waikiki Beach, from surfing in Morocco to chasing the Northern Lights in Lapland, my experiences have been diverse and enriching. As your Travel Counsellor, my goal is not just to sell you a flight and hotel package, but to craft a holiday that creates lifelong memories. Each of my holidays is bespoke and tailored to your specific needs and interests. Whether you seek complex multi-centre journeys, all-inclusive single destinations, action-packed adventures, cruises, or wellness retreats, I collaborate with local experts to ensure your holidays are unique, authentic, and exclusive. Through Travel Counsellors network, I have access to an incredible array of holiday products, services and suppliers and will take care of all the finer details for you: airport transfers and parking, attraction tickets, travel insurance and restaurant bookings to name a few. My approach is simple: I put as much thought and care into planning your holiday as if it were my own. Our unique TC App keeps you up-to-date through all stages of the booking process and is a go to place for all your travel details and itineraries. And, for your peace of mind, Travel Counsellors guarantee complete financial and ATOL protection, along with 24/7 assistance throughout your journey. We value the personal approach, so you will never communicate through a call centre - I will be your main point of contact at any time and my colleagues at Duty Office will be available for additional support during emergencies. Michael Palin once said, "Once the travel bug bites, there is no known antidote, and I know that I shall be happily infected until the end of my life.", and I couldn’t agree more. Allow me to help you catch that travel bug and plan your next unforgettable holiday.
