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.

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

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

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

Hello and thank you for visiting my webpage. My name is Sandra and I live in Stamford, a stunningly beautiful and vibrant market town in south Lincolnshire.As a Travel Counsellor I’m here to take away the stress of organising your holiday. I’ve never been a 9 to 5 person so feel free to contact me when it suits you - I’ll work with you to fully understand what you want from your trip and take care of every detail from start to finish, so that you can focus on the other important things in your life and start your holiday relaxed.Travel has been my life, from my early days working on a campsite in France, through living and working in Spain, Greece, Malta, India and Cuba to finally being UK based with Thomas Cook in a role that entailed travelling frequently and focusing on giving customers the best holiday ever in places as diverse as Las Vegas, Bali and Kenya, as well as the more familiar European holiday resorts. For as long as I can remember I’ve enjoyed organising fantastic bespoke getaways for myself and others including celebratory weekends in the English countryside for 20+ people, exploring the whole length of Vietnam and a once in a lifetime private tour around Namibia. It was therefore a logical step, following the collapse of Thomas Cook, to become a Travel Counsellor and to use my knowledge and experience to help others have holidays that are just as amazing.The hardest question for me is ‘what’s your favourite destination?’ as I’ve visited 75 countries and each has its own special charms. You can read more in my blogs but some of the most memorable moments of my travels have been micro lighting over the Victoria Falls, swimming with whale sharks in Mexico, seeing the stars in the vastness of the Kalahari and more recently going to the ends of the earth on truly incredible and life affirming expedition cruises to the Arctic and Antarctica.You can trust me to find the trip that’s right for you, whether that’s a multi generational family holiday, a luxury cruise, a romantic city break to pop the question, the ultimate honeymoon or a ‘blow the budget’ round the world trip. Let me know your bucket list destinations and I’ll find the best way to realise those dreams. And if all you want is to chill on the beach then I can arrange that too.In the words of St Augustine, ‘the world is a book and those who do not travel read only a page’. Get in touch and let me plan your next travel chapter!

A very warm welcome to my page, I am delighted to have you here!I am a seasoned Travel Consultant, with over 20 years experience in the travel industry, and a wealth of knowledge on airlines, hotels and all things travel related.My enthusiasm for Travel has been there for all of my life, ever since I was a child I was always interested in geography and was fascinated by what lay beyond my known world. At 21, I decided that the travel business was the one for me, and I have been lucky to be involved in it ever since. I developed a passion for both assisting my clients and when the chance arose, also my own personal travel. I still continue to be very passionate about travelling and seeing the world, and always enjoy visiting places new and old.I spent 15 years at my previous travel company, working hard to be successful, and over my career there I build up an excellent reputation as a very successful Travel Manager, initially focusing solely on leisure, but latterly also expanding to corporate. I am equally adept in both fields, and I get as much satisfaction finding a great holiday for clients, as I do taking a new client on and saving them £2k a month on their travel expenses. I have achieved success through recommendations, building relationships, expanding my customer base through networking and, when time permits, also handling new telephone enquires.In November 2018, I started a new path working from home as a Travel Counsellor. In this role, I will continue to offer the same great, personal service that I have always offered. So, if I can be of assistance then please contact me on 01525 340026 or Rob.Rackham@travelcounsellors.com

Hello fellow travel lovers,I am Sarah Edwards, a Travel Concierge and Events Specialist based in Cobham, Surrey. I design tailor-made holidays and experiences around the world, from family adventures and weekend getaways to destination weddings, luxury honeymoons, surprise engagements, corporate events, and wellness retreats. Whatever the occasion, I love helping clients turn their travel dreams into unforgettable memories.I am also proud to be a Middle East expert, with particular expertise in Oman, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. Having lived and travelled extensively in the region, I can offer first-hand insight into its rich culture, diverse landscapes, and hidden gems—whether you are seeking a luxurious desert escape, a cultural journey, or a blend of both.Travel has been a lifelong passion of mine that began in childhood with family holidays every school break. From long road trips across Europe to thrilling safaris in South Africa, cruises around the Caribbean, and magical family adventures in Orlando, travel quickly became a defining part of who I am.I grew up in the South of France and speak both English and French fluently. Over the years, I have lived in France, England, Switzerland, the United States, Monaco, and the United Arab Emirates, which has given me a deep appreciation for different cultures and ways of life. Having explored more than 48 countries, I love immersing myself in local traditions, wandering through neighbourhoods, tasting regional dishes, and uncovering hidden gems known only to locals.Before turning my passion into my full-time career, I spent more than 15 years in banking, most recently as a Managing Director and Chief of Staff. During this time, I managed large-scale corporate events, which refined my ability to manage complex logistics, anticipate challenges, and deliver exceptional experiences. I have also run my own wedding planning business, which has given me a deep understanding of the importance of every detail in creating truly memorable and beautifully executed celebrations, allowing me to craft events of all kinds with care and precision.My personal favourite destination is AlUla in Saudi Arabia, a breathtaking and still largely undiscovered region of dramatic desert landscapes, ancient Nabatean tombs, and immersive cultural experiences. It truly is a place like no other.That said, I will always have a soft spot for Provence, where I spent much of my childhood. The rolling lavender fields, charming hilltop villages, and relaxed pace of life keep me returning time and again. It feels like home.Through Travel Counsellors, I have access to a global network of trusted suppliers and exclusive travel products, allowing me to design bespoke holidays and events to suit every style and occasion, all with full financial protection for complete peace of mind.Because I am completely independent and not tied to any supplier, every journey I create is uniquely tailored to you, with impartial advice, personal attention, and care from start to finish.I cannot wait to help you plan your next unforgettable experience.Warmest wishes, Sarah

I have a 28 year career in the travel industry and a true passion to make sure my clients always have a wonderful and memorable experience. We are all different and how we enjoy our holidays is very different too. Some people love adventure and prefer to get off the beaten track but others like to know they can experience new countries and cultures safe in the knowledge everything is perfectly organised before they leave. Some holidays are for relaxing on a beach and others are adrenalin filled, of course many are a mix of the two and more. I tailor all holidays to the client to ensure it is right for them. Most holidays are good, its time away from the stresses of daily life and spending quality time with those we care about, but I think it is about making sure that holiday time is the very best it can be. Advancement in technology has encouraged us all to spend hours online looking at websites hoping to see the perfect option, but can this ever really compare to working with an expert who does this every day? I am lucky enough to have visited 72 countries and work in partnership with 1000’s of colleagues who have travelled extensively too so I offer real advice and experience? There is no call centre here, you only ever need to contact me and I am available pretty much 24/7. Travel Counsellors also gives your investment the highest level of financial protection in the industry so your money is always safe.If it is time for your next trip please contact me and let’s make it happen…….

Welcome and thank you for visiting my webpage.I became a Travel Counsellor after a long and distinguished career at two of the UK's leading tour operators and wanting to re-introduce the values of what a tour operator/travel agent should be offering you. Booking a holiday or a business trip is more than a simple retail transaction. It is more important than that to you and it is more important than that to me. It is something that is personal and should be handled with the care and attention it deserves.Being a Travel Counsellor means that we can offer you what you require – it isn’t limited to one supplier or one product, it is a means to be independent and offer you what you want, be that a speedy process, an in-depth discussion about a destination, a hotel or a mode of transport, the most luxury or the best value. Each requirement is different but we are experienced in understanding travel. More often than not you will want to discuss and plan your holidays and business trips over the phone/videocall although I am happy to meet in person too.My own personal travel experience spans approximately ninety countries from the incredibly exotic Maldives and Mauritius (including my own wedding) to the more adventurous India, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Guatemala and Japan, to the business hubs of New York, Hong Kong and Singapore. So, whether you are looking for a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Australia and New Zealand, your annual winter holiday to the Caribbean, a family holiday to USA or a romantic weekend in Paris there are a multitude of holidays that can be arranged to suit you for your next adventure. As you can probably tell I am passionate about most places I have travelled to (and places still on the to do travel list) but do give me a call and we can even discuss my other favourites that I haven't even mentioned here. I also enjoy documenting my travels in the journals that you can read below along with trying to improve my photography which you can see within them.With all Travel Counsellors, we pride ourselves on the service we provide and the value this brings to our customers. We are all independent, meaning we can provide you with the holiday you require and we can design it to suit your needs and desires. All types of holidays can be catered for from cruises to adventure tours to tailormade holidays to business trips and private tours.It may be an itinerary that you find daunting to put together yourself, or you just want the reassurance of being able to contact someone at any time either before you go or while you are away or it may be that you like to have that feeling of being financially protected or someone to help with giving you good value and inspiration and ideas, we can do all this and more.I very much look forward to hearing from you and discussing your travel plans.

Thank you so much for visiting my page. You might not realise it yet, but by being here, you’re supporting a genuine small business. One where every holiday I plan, starts with truly listening to what matters to you. After 17 wonderful years working in the travel industry, I took a leap of faith in 2025 and launched my own travel business. Those years were filled with incredible opportunities, from coordinating large group getaways and overseas weddings to working alongside tourism boards across the USA, Caribbean and Canada, helping travellers discover new destinations. Early in my career, I was the friendly face at your high street travel agency, and more recently, I supported exciting digital projects at Travel Counsellors’ head office.Now, I pour all of that experience into designing holidays that are unique to you. I take the time to truly get to know my clients... asking the sort of questions that many travel companies simply won’t. My aim is to understand not just where you want to go, but what you love and what you’d prefer to avoid. There is no ‘one size fits all’ with me, it’s always personal, always tailored, and you can always expect a prompt reply, whether you reach out by phone, WhatsApp, email, or DM.If you’d like to learn more, please have a look at my blogs, scroll through my socials, or read some of the lovely testimonials from people I’ve helped before. However you prefer to get in touch, I’m here, ready to chat through your ideas and help you plan a holiday as individual as you are.Your booking is always protected by a 100% financially secure Trust Fund, and the reassurance of a 24/7 Duty Office, just in case. With my approach, you’ll always feel safe, valued, and genuinely cared for, from our first conversation until you return home. I can’t wait to help you design your next adventure...

My insatiable wanderlust first began back in 2004 as I stepped barefoot on the sugar white sands of Koh Samet in Thailand. If I close my eyes, I'm right back there in a flash. Since then I've travelled to some of the world's most untouched places, collecting an encyclopedia of knowledge along the way. I've sailed to the remote Indonesian island of Flores to see Komodo dragons and swam in the incredible Kuang Si Falls of Luang Prabang. I've sipped the finest wines in South Africa's Delaire Graff Estate and shopped for spices in India's colourful markets.It’s these life-enriching moments that I love to create for my clients. Being fully independent means it's less about the corporate bottom-line and more about the client experience. Before you book, I spend time getting to really know you - the things you love and anything you loathe. Prefer a window seat on your flight? No problem. Keen to steer clear of crowds? Noted. I'll build a relationship with you that can be likened to a trusted friend, with the back-up of full ATOL financial protection should something go wrong. When it comes to the type of travel I organise, tailormade trips, luxury long-haul, honeymoons and family-friendly holidays are my expertise. For anything else, my network of 2,000+ Travel Counsellors are on hand to help me find the perfect holiday to suit your needs.If this sounds like the type of service you're looking for, I'd love to chat. Call or email me anytime and I'll be in touch!

I pride myself on simplifying the most complicated itinerary, and will always go the extra mile to exceed my clients’ expectations and requirements.The most rewarding part of my job has been providing nothing less than the full package; an efficient, prompt, accurate and friendly service, no matter how demanding or urgent the request may be.I have travelled widely across the world, and have been lucky enough in my career to have visited many memorable places. Some of the highlights have included hot-air ballooning in Northern Queensland, sand boarding on the dunes in Namibia, viewing glaciers and camping in the High Arctic and crossing 9 time zones on the Trans Siberian Railway. Although beach holidays in the Caribbean and Oman never fail to recharge my batteries!I have lived in London all my life and am now a father of three young children, so my travel is less long-haul, and more UK and European.

I combined backpacking with five-star hotels, trekked to Machu Picchu and boated down the Amazon - incredible experiences that will stay with me forever.

It’s Lovely to Meet YouI’m Jenny, an independent Travel Counsellor based in Whetstone, North London. I’ve worked in travel for over 20 years and have been running my own travel business for the past nine years, helping clients plan holidays and trips that are well thought out, personal, and genuinely enjoyable from start to finish.I believe travel planning should feel exciting, not overwhelming. My role is to take the stress away, handle the details, and make sure everything runs smoothly. I work closely with my clients, getting to know what they like (and what they don’t), so every trip is tailored properly rather than feeling like a one-size-fits-all booking.My love of travel started early thanks to my parents, who made sure we travelled abroad every year. At 20, I headed off on my first big adventure to Thailand, followed by a year living and working in Sydney. On the way home I travelled through Fiji, Hawaii, LA and Las Vegas — which completely cemented my love for seeing the world.I began my career with a Modern Apprenticeship at Thomas Cook, before spending ten years at Flight Centre in London. During that time, I gained solid experience in tailor-made, business and long-haul travel, and was lucky enough to visit some incredible places, including Tanzania on safari, Zanzibar, and the US.In 2008, my husband and I travelled through South and Central America — from Brazil and Argentina to Peru, Bolivia and Costa Rica — trekking the Inca Trail and experiencing some truly unforgettable moments along the way. Those trips shaped the way I plan travel today: focusing on experiences, not just destinations.Now we travel as a family of five, with three teenagers, and our trips range from skiing holidays and European breaks to long-haul adventures like Australia, Dubai and next year we are off to Asia. Travelling with teens has given me a very practical understanding of what works (and what doesn’t) when planning family holidays — especially when comfort, pace and flexibility matter.Whether you’re planning a big trip, a special celebration, or simply want someone you trust to organise your travel properly, I’d love to help. Just get in touch with your ideas and we’ll take it from there.Jenny

From Marcel Proust – ‘The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking landscapes, but in having new eyes’(let me be your planning eyes!)I live in a village in West Sussex called West Chiltington located approximately 30minutes from Gatwick and the coast of Brighton. I have lived here in the village for over 30years and just love country life.I originally hail from New Zealand which is where I had the best travel education facilities afforded to me. I started from the ground (in 1979 – just a baby) as just an office assistant in a VFR travel agency dealing mainly with the Dutch and Belgian expats. I learnt most of my formative trade there and quickly moved up the ranks to consultant and tour guide. I became a member of the New Zealand Institute of Travel which enabled me to expand my knowledge.I started travelling at the age of 16 with my sisters and we were lucky to be able to travel to Europe and some of the Pacific Islands. From there my itchy feet started. In 1986 I moved to Holland (where my Dad is from). In November 1986 I joined British Airways and worked for them in reservations and sales at Heathrow and Gatwick for 17years. I was fortunate to travel a great deal to all four continents (more than once) and forged some lasting life long friendships and experiences. I did all the required exams in sales, marketing, ticketing and operations. I won most sales prizes every month for highest productivity and an Award For Excellence.I left BA to work in a Travel Agency specialising in Cuba and the Caribbean where I was a Manager. I gained invaluable experience and made very useful contacts (who still book with me to this day). I did a two year stint with Qatar Airways at their Heathrow ticket desk and I then set up on my own, and so here we are. I love everything Caribbean and Latino and have extensive and personal knowledge of this region , especially Cuba, Jamaica and Grenada, but I am not limited to these areas and can sell any type of dream. Everything I sell is 100% financially protected and completely impartial, and tailormade to you.I am contactable 24 hours a day and you only deal with me.Contact me and let me unlock your dreams – ‘One’s destination is never a place but a new way of seeing things’(Henry Miller)

My name is Robbie Mullins and I am an independent travel agent in Bromley Kent. I have been working in the travel industry for almost 30 years. I joined Travel Counsellors in 2006. I wanted to concentrate on giving my customers the highest possible levels of personal service and independent travel advice.As your own professional Travel Counsellor I can use our award winning technology and my personal expertise to tailor make exactly the right holiday to suit your needs. Rather than selling you a standard tour operator package, I can quickly search through hundreds of different flights, accommodation and transfer alternatives to find something that suits your needs exactly. Quite often this means I can build you a bespoke holiday at a cheaper price than the standard holiday package you might get elsewhere.Travel Counsellors recognises that not everyone is free to discuss their travel arrangements during the working week. My company’s award winning technology enables me to work from home and means you can contact me at times when most other travel agents are unavailable, including evenings and weekends.I love holidays in the Caribbean. The last holiday I had was in Turkey , in a beautiful five star all-inclusive resort. I have been very lucky to have travelled as a child, a teenager and as an adult, and now as a parent to an array of destinations worldwide. I am also a very experienced skier. If I could holiday anywhere in the world I would take a flight to Turks and Caicos( That hasn't changed not got there yet !) as I would love to lounge around on their beautiful white sandy beaches and swim in the clear blue seas, and also swim with the marine life. You too could be experiencing this!I can help you arrange any part of your travel arrangements – so whether you just need a flight to Barcelona or a last minute holiday to Florida I can help. I can also get you great deals on accommodation so if you need to know the best Paris hotels for a last minute holiday to France or the best Dubai hotels for a luxurious week away in the sun please contact me. Of course I can also help with any other travel arrangements you may have. I have lots of deals on Disneyland, Florida, Las Vegas, New York, Asia, Indian Ocean and I can tailor make any itinerary you require!One of my latest trips for a client included Japan Mount Fuji (Bullet Train) Tokyo, Auckland in New Zealand then round to San Francisco and Los Angeles. Also recently booked Vietnam& Cambodia lots of other trips ..Sri Lanka too along with The Philippines too! I also deal with lots of groups i.e. Hen and Stag parties, golf trips and honeymoons where as these can all be sealed on a very low deposit and a honeymoon account service which is paid for by myself and your friends and family can contribute to your honeymoon. It's then knocked off the balance of your honeymoon! Works great!My business is based purely on providing my customers with the highest possible levels of personal service and I would be delighted to assist you with your holiday plans.Please feel free to browse my website and read my customers reviews about myself as a person and as a business owner. I update these on a weekly to monthly basis. Deals are available to view on my website and these are mainly for information purposes and to get an idea on what I can offer. Although these prices are accurate, I can normally 9/10 times get better prices than what are on here. I can compete with most online companies and coupled with a personal 1 to 1 experience and an unrivalled service, I personally believe this makes me stand out from any competition out there! I have 100's of customers that also agree! Coupled with our financial protection you are 100% looked after in all aspects! I have a fantastic app if you are into technology whereas you can view all bookings make payments and or request and even book your trip via this also! I hope to hear from you soon.

Hello, I’m Claire, I am here to curate seamless journeys for both your leisure and business travel. I am a Scottish lady based in Belfast with a global outlook and a life long passion for travel and high end service. For you this means I do the time consuming research and booking whilst you get to relax with the reassurance that every detail has been thought through. Before joining Travel Counsellors, I built a career in international marketing, leading global teams and campaigns and hosting corporate events across the world. That experience sharpened my attention to detail and the importance of a VIP service and care — skills I now bring into creating bespoke travel for all my clients.My own personal, family and corporate travels have taken me across the globe — from Asia, Africa, Canada, the Caribbean (where my grandparents lived on St Lucia- and yes I have been a few times!), the Canaries, Mauritius, Norway (where I lived as a child), and the USA, to countless destinations across Europe, the UK and Ireland. I’ve skied in the Alps, Norway, Canada and the USA, sailed around Europe, climbed many mountains and swam in many seas. These experiences fuel my curiosity and give me a deep appreciation for the memories that travel creates.As a Travel Counsellor, I want to bring my experience and passion to others. It’s about designing journeys — whether for work or wonder — that are seamless, personal, and full of joy. With the backing of Travel Counsellors’ award-winning expertise, technology, financial protection, and global network, you can feel confident you are in safe hands.Whether you’re looking for a luxury escape, a short trip away, a family adventure, a cruise, a ski holiday, a special celebration, or a business trip handled with meticulous care, I’ll take the time to understand what matters most to you and curate a journey worth remembering — and one that inspires many more. I look forward to hearing from you and creating those moments of wonder for you.

Hi, I’m Angela - thanks for visiting my page.I am looking forward to being able to share my passion for travel with you, and find you the perfect trip. Travel is my calling and I have been in the industry for over 20 years - my entire working life in fact.I currently live in Melbourn nr Royston with my husband - who I met whilst working abroad - and my two now not so little girls Chloe and Alice who are 13 and 7. As a family we spend a lot of time travelling the country as we have friends and family all over - a perfect excuse for a road trip and we all love the thrill of an airport and exploring somewhere new.I realised my calling in travel at 16 when I studied travel and tourism at college. From here I worked in Crete and then spent eight years living and working all over France and Italy.After that I spent two years selling tailor-made trips to Australia and New Zealand - and all places en route in each direction! I loved creating these holidays of a lifetime that really meant something to my clients who relied on my expertise as an Aussie/New Zealand/Hong Kong Specialist to make their trip perfect. I love getting my teeth into somewhere new, and virtually exploring the area unravelling its secrets. I then spent eight years working for a schools tour operator, selling curriculum based trips for groups of students - which really uses my European and US city break knowledge. I was also a long-haul specialist for those schools who wanted to visit China, Vietnam, Cuba and India. I have travelled to many of the places I have sold so have first-hand knowledge and can help you feel at home when you get there. I have been around the world (almost) but my absolute favourite destination is Venice. It is such a beautiful city - it helps that it was here where my husband proposed!I can’t wait to help you put together your dream trip - be it a weekend break in Europe or a multi-centre Australia trip of a lifetime - be assured, I will put as much care and attention into it as I would my own trip and I can work on it at a time that is convenient to you. Working from home in Royston, Herts gives me that flexibility to be there when you need me!So what are you waiting for - let’s get planning your trip!Give me a call or send me an email.

I can arrange overseas weddings and/or honeymoons, plus any other combination from a UK or European city break to a round the world cruise!!So, should you be looking for the perfect family summer break or competitive business flights - please give me a call, I'm only too happy to help!!Thank you for visiting my web page and I look forward to speaking to you soon.

Hello and welcome to my webpage!I am your local Personal Travel Counsellor - originally from Lurgan now living in Donaghadee, County Down.I have been in the Travel Industry for just over 28 years, visited many countries, seen many sights, and pride myself on being able to serve my clients with only the best advice!I can assist you on all travel arrangements from short European breaks to tailor-made trips, ski holidays to cruises, escorted tours to family holidays! I can make restaurant reservations, organize extras such as car hire, theatre tickets, hot air balloon trips and even wedding ceremonies.I became a personal Travel Counsellor 17 years ago as I wanted to concentrate on what I do best; arranging travel for my clients and offering the highest possible levels of personal service and independent travel advice. I offer a fully personalised service tailored to my client’s individual requirements.Unlike most high street travel agents, Travel Counsellors is not tied to selling one particular company’s holiday. This means you are much more likely to get the holiday you want rather than the holiday the high street agent wants to sell you. In fact, we work directly with our own suppliers and are your Tour Operator - offering Package Holiday Protection and ATOL protection.So what’s stopping you from making that call or sending that email to me today, to whisk you away to the holiday you deserve?
