    Andrea Hill

    01889 878570 Rugeley

    Hi, my name is Andrea and I look forward to becoming your personal Travel Counsellor.I have worked in the travel industry for over 30 years and absolutely love my job! In fact, it's not really a job to me - it's a passion! I love finding the perfect holiday, advising on every aspect and making recommendations based on my extensive knowledge. Hearing all about these holidays when the clients come home is my favourite part. Since 2001 I have worked from home so that I can be available at a time that suits my clients including evenings and weekends and can also fit in with family life.Bespoke multi-centre itineraries around the USA, Canada, South America, Asia including cruise have become a more recent speciality and something I'm enjoying immensely as the demand for these types of holidays grows. Having our own destination management companies in most countries is a fabulous asset and lets me make bespoke itineraries with the help of colleagues with local knowledge.Disney, Lapland and Cruise holidays are an area that I enjoy and are becoming more and more popular with my clients. Over the years I have organised many holidays for large groups all over the world. My largest group was for 180 Rock n Roll enthusiasts flying from six different airports to an event in Tenerife! This kind of holiday takes a high level of planning but doesn't phase me at all!Customer service is a priority and this is why I love being a Travel Counsellor, so that I can offer my clients the service they deserve at a time that suits them. I have access to hundreds of tour operators, cruise lines, hotels, car hire companies etc. I will happily recommend holidays that suit you, rather than just quote the cheapest. My many client testimonials are because I take the time to research the right holiday - just take a read of a few on this page. I always go out of my way to do anything I possibly can to make sure your holiday really is perfect.I book a vast range of holidays from Brighton to Bora Bora, so don’t be afraid to ask for something different as I’m sure I’ll be able to find the perfect trip for you.I look forward to speaking to you soon and helping you plan your forthcoming holidays both big and small. Thank you for visiting my page!

  • Sarah Belbin

    01629 888950 Derbyshire

    Hello and thank you for visiting my web page. With over 25 years experience working within the travel industry I can honestly say that travel is in my blood. As a child my parents lived and worked in the Middle East so together with my siblings we visited many interesting and beautiful countries and so my love affair with travel began.After graduating from University I packed my rucksack and left for America. Together with a friend we worked and travelled down the East Coast following our dreams and creating life long memories. On return to the UK I continued my adventures and applied to become a ski guide in the northern French Alps for Crystal Ski. Like many graduates before me one season led to another and following a year out travelling in Australia and New Zealand I moved to the Austrian Tyrol to work as a customer service manager for TUI Travel. This is where I met my husband and our first daughter was born in the beautiful town of Kitzbuhel. After enjoying the next couple of years surrounded by the breathtaking scenery of The Austrian Alps we made the decision to re-locate back to the UK.I continued to work for the Tui Travel Group as an agent in Matlock, Derbyshire and built up over 13 years service. In 2014 I was awarded Regional Travel Advisor of the year and began to think about broadening my horizons and setting up my own business. As a travel Counsellor I believe in offering truly independent travel advice coupled with outstanding service. Over the years I have built up lasting relationships with my customers and pride myself on designing seamless travel arrangements based on first- hand experience and extensive product knowledge. Whether it’s a fun family holiday to the Balearics, a Caribbean cruise or a bespoke tailor-made tour of China I would love to help you with your plans and bring your dreams to life. “Travel is the only thing you buy which makes you richer” AnonymousI look forward to hearing from you and being an integral part of your journey.Kind Regards Sarah

    Welcome to my page. Let me tell you a little bit about me...As a Travel Counsellor I'm passionate about travel, and working hand in hand with my clients I can tailor the perfect holiday around you – whether it be a family holiday, a bucket list trip of a lifetime wedding abroad, city break, or even a UK staycation. I just love anything out of the ordinary, and will always take on a challenge. I can also book packages with the major tour operator brands such as Jet 2. I've worked in the travel industry for over 20 years ago, starting with Thomson Holidays (now Tui) and then the good old days of teletext holidays …how things have changed! I spent 15 years as an event and wedding planner working at some of the most prestigious hotels and venues, including Weston Park in Shropshire. I have arranged over 1000 weddings and lost count of the number of private parties, corporate events and activity days. I returned to travel in 2012 specialising in weddings abroad and luxury travel, and then started my travel business with Travel Counsellors at the end of 2019. There were so many reasons why I chose Travel Counsellors as my business partner. Spanning over 25 years they are a multi-award winning company with offices worldwide and support which is second to none. Their ‘with us it's personal‘ promise struck a chord with me too. My clients are my business and I treat every booking or enquiry as if it were my own. I look after your booking right to the very end. If you need to make a change to your itinerary, or add on excursions whilst you are on holiday, I can do that for you - a true travel concierge service. I relax knowing that you have arrived safely at your destination, and then again when you arrive back home. I work from home so there are no call centres to deal with. This also means that I’m available to discuss your plans at a time to suit you including evenings and weekends. I’m based in Staffordshire but have clients all around the UK. If you are close by we can meet for a chat over a coffee or glass of fizz…and for those further away then calls, emails and face to face via zoom etc is just fine.... whatever works best for you! I have access to thousands of trusted travel providers at my fingertips and as a company we continue to increase the direct contracts we have with hotels and specialist suppliers around the world. This means that I can personally tailor your plans knowing that I am working directly with the local suppliers, and ensuring that I'm securing the most competitive rates for you. Travel Counsellors offer the best financial protection in the industry and whilst you are on holiday we also have a 24 hours Duty Office to assist with difficulties out of hours, so you are always in contact with a person. For piece of mind your holiday is also fully protected financially through ATOL. So now you know who I am, I look forward to hearing from you and sending you off on your next adventure....wherever it may be

    Planning a holiday should be fun, right?If you’ve happened across my page, then I’ve probably come recommended to you (hi!), or you’re going round in circles looking for advice you can trust.I know there’s a million ways to book out there, but I also understand it can be totally over-whelming, time-sapping and infuriating.And whilst saving you from all those admin headaches is a part of what I do, having a Travel Counsellor is also about so much more…Back in 2018, after a decade working for various big names in the travel industry, I decided to take the plunge and put everything I’d learned into starting my own thing.From the off, my little business has been about personal, warm and truly human service. I’m not here for selling and targets, I’m not going to push a certain thing on you because it suits me. I’m small-scale, I know my clients by name, not by booking reference. I’ll find out about you: what you love, what you hate, what’ll make things extra special and then I’ll work to bring it to life, all wrapped up in a level of 24/7 care that you know you can rely on.So, what can I help you with? Well, the world’s your oyster, really. You might have an idea, or just an inkling of the kind of thing you’d like. I’ll take your lead and work in the best way to suit you.First and foremost, I’m a fully ATOL-protected tour operator, meaning I can design you anything and everything with complete financial peace of mind. Whether that’s a city or a beach break, an ocean or river cruise, or a complex multi-centre adventure, I’ll suggest locations, hand-pick hotels and tweak and tailor until it’s just right for you.I’m also an independent travel agent, so, depending on what you fancy, I can help you choose from a wide choice of tried and trusted third party suppliers too. That means I’ll do all the legwork to compare the options, and present you with a whittled down list of what works and why.I’ve found that you can’t have this conversation without talking about price. I’m always completely transparent that while my prices are fair, I’m not here to try and beat online or DIY arrangements where there’s little to no care, service or protection involved. However, with direct relationships with a whole world of hotels, airlines, cruise companies, adventure specialists, experience providers and much more, I’ll work my socks off to get the right thing, at the right budget. If you’re not sure if I can help, please just ask. I’ll always give you an honest answer.Ready to stop reading, and start planning? I’d love to help. I’ll work flexibly around you, so get in touch and we can arrange a time to chat.

    As most people in travel will say, travel is a "real" passion of mine, when I'm not actually on holiday, experiencing all the sights, sounds and new and exciting food, I'm either thinking about my next holiday, planning my next holiday, or cajoling my hubby into choosing one with me! The next best thing to that though is providing my customers with the holiday of their dreams.

As your very own personal Travel Counsellor, I listen to everything you want from your holiday, I want to truly understand what you're looking for, be it a luxury escape, a safari experience, a gorgeous cruise, or simply a cottage in the country.

    Hi, I'm Scarlett and I'm a Travel Counsellor based in Newcastle upon Tyne. Thank you so much for stopping by!Travel has been part of my life for as long as I can remember, from family holidays as a child to planning my own adventures the moment I was old enough to book them myself. That early passion led me to study Travel and Tourism as a school leaver, but life took me on a slightly different path… until 2021, when I finally joined the travel industry professionally and haven’t looked back since.Before becoming a Travel Counsellor, I spent much of my career in the legal industry and higher education administration – both roles where organising corporate and academic travel was part of my day-to-day. It was in those moments, booking everything from business trips to conferences, that I realised just how much I loved crafting travel experiences for others.Now, I help clients create travel experiences that feel truly personal – with a focus on sustainability, cruelty-free choices, and inclusive options for all. I’m passionate about making sure every trip aligns with your values, whether that means avoiding animal exploitation, seeking out LGBTQIA+ friendly stays, or finding destinations that prioritise ethical tourism.My mission is simple: to create meaningful travel experiences that are personal, inclusive, and aligned with your values. I believe travel should be a source of joy, connection, and discovery – never compromise. Whether you're planning a once-in-a-lifetime honeymoon, a family escape, or a soul-soothing solo break, I’m here to take the stress out of planning and replace it with confidence, care, and a touch of magic. Travel is more than a destination – it’s a feeling. Let’s make yours unforgettable.Since stepping into the world of travel full-time, I've had the pleasure of helping a couple arrange their bespoke dream honeymoon to Costa Rica, organising a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Minneapolis for a Prince superfan, and booking plenty of well-deserved weekend getaways to favourites like Benidorm and Tenerife. Personally, I’ve fallen in love with Mexico – my favourite Caribbean destination.I live in Newcastle with my partner Dean and our daughter Lilith, and I understand the importance of travel being both memorable and manageable – especially when life is full on. I bring warmth, empathy and attention to detail to every booking, treating your holiday as if it were my own.With Travel Counsellors’ unique Financial Trust protection, every penny you spend is 100% financially secure. I’ll be by your side from that first chat to safe return and beyond, making sure your journey is smooth, special and full of joy.Let’s make your next adventure unforgettable – I’d love to help you plan it!

    Hello there… Thanks for visiting the Travel Counsellors website and my page in particular. I found this Portuguese proverb the other day and it made me laugh - “When the boss is away, work becomes a holiday” - Well, that sorts out a few weeks of the year but what about when it’s your turn for a holiday? I’ve been a Travel Consultant for many years; and before that I trained and worked in hotel management so I understand that travel and holidays are thrilling purchases, and yet can be tinged with a tad of apprehension – have you chosen the right destination? Will it stand up to the glossy pictures? Will it be a good investment and provide you with happy memories for years to come? I can honestly say that by booking through me, with all the knowledge and expertise that I can tap into; we can get you just the holiday you want from package deals to tailor made travels. I absolutely love travelling and holidaying, so I’ve got plenty of personal information to help you make an educated decision as to where and how to spend your hard earned holiday time. Here are my top favourites: Las Vegas - love the adrenalin rush at the tables Dubai - breathtakingly opulent Barbados - for ultimate relaxation Key West - warm welcomes await and Key Lime Pie to die for What are yours I wonder? Let’s have a chat and sort out some great destinations, sights and experiences for you? I’m local to South Cheshire – and because I have independent status I’m on call to answer your queries whenever you need me – at home, or on your travels. It won’t be long before you are having the time of your life on holiday. I wonder if the boss will miss you…? I can also arrange all your holiday extras including travel insurance, foreign exchange, airport parking and transfers.

    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

    Hi, I’m Phil and I am a Gold Travel Counsellor based in Christchurch where I live with my partner and our two beautiful girls. I joined Travel Counsellors in August 2018 and was proud to win the 'Best UK Leisure Newcomer' award in 2019 before reaching the Gold accolade for the first time in April 2022.Prior to joining Travel Counsellors, I had over 13 years of experience as a Sales Consultant and a Product Executive for an award winning travel company working out of both the London and Bournemouth offices. I have experience of putting together a multitude of different itineraries all over the world ranging from self drive holidays, private touring holidays, beach holidays and organised private or group safaris. To name just a few!My own travels have taken me to all four corners of the globe and that really helps me to offer educated, impartial advice and tailor the itinerary to suit the individual needs of my clients. A beach is not just a beach and the style of a hotel/resort can have a huge impact on your enjoyment of your holiday. I am also a sports fanatic so have a canny way of piecing a holiday around a sporting event, such as an Ashes series down under.For the last 8 years, I have also specialised in cruise which is the largest growing sector within the travel industry. With a variety of cruise lines targeting an ever wider range of guest on board, cruising really does have something for everyone now but again it is so important to take expert advice to find the cruise line for you as needless to say, with ships ranging from 150-6000 guests on board, the whole experience can be very different.My comprehensive travel service includes advice on flights, accommodation, visa information and immunisation requirements. I have access to the best offers in the industry and for comprehensive peace of mind, everything you book with me is 100% financially protected by either the Travel Counsellors Financial Trust or ATOL, it is the best financial protection in the industry.So whatever kind of trip you are looking for, whether it’s a trip of a lifetime to some exotic destination or simply just a short break to one of Europe’s finest cities, please call me!I look forward to hearing from you.

    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.

The Loire Valley, renowned for its Chateaux’s, beautiful scenery and Rose Wine is a favourite of ours. Our Italian Adventure in October which saw us exploring Pisa, Florence, Lucca, and Siena and then a train down to Rome. We had an amazing time, fabulous food and locals and was great to fit so much in.This year we have Thailand to look forward to, we are visiting the North this time, rich in culture and traditions we're hoping to see another side of Thailand.

    Hi, I’m Jo — your personal independent Travel Counsellor based in Dereham.Travel has always been more than just a job for me; it’s about creating experiences that really matter. With almost 30 years in the travel industry, I’ve helped clients plan everything from relaxing beach escapes and family holidays to once-in-a-lifetime adventures and special celebrations. I previously worked for independent agents including Premier Travel, who I was manager of the Dereham branch for almost 20 years.What I love most about being a Travel Counsellor is being able to offer truly personal service. I take the time to get to know you, understand what you want from your holiday, and tailor every trip to suit you — not a one-size-fits-all package. From your first idea to the moment you return home, I’m there to take care of the details, answer questions, and make the whole process stress-free.I have travelled extensively - my favourite destinations include Thailand, Maldives, Vietnam, Singapore as well as Las Vegas and New York. I also travel a lot in Europe and have had many family holidays to Turkey, Spain and Greece. Working with Travel Counsellors means you get the best of both worlds: my personal care and expertise, plus the reassurance of 24/7 support, financial protection, and trusted global partners. Whether you’re dreaming of a luxury escape, a family adventure, a cruise, or something a little different, I’d love to help turn your ideas into an unforgettable holiday.✨ Let’s start planning something amazing.

    Hello! I’m Lianna, an independent travel advisor based in Essex. I have more than 20 years’ experience of working with some of the industry’s leading leisure and corporate travel companies, and I’m passionate about sharing my expertise with my clients.Helping you to book your dream break is so much more than researching flights and hotels – it’s about ensuring that every moment of your valuable time off is relaxing, enjoyable and memorable. From checking you in for your flights, pre-booking seats, securing your preferred meal choice and confirming your transfer is ready and waiting when you arrive, no stone is left unturned. What’s more, I’m committed to finding you the best possible price for your trip. Think of me as your personal concierge, able to oversee room allocation, make dinner reservations and book day trips. I’ll even ensure Ed Sheeran turns up at the bar to serenade you and your partner on honeymoon (ok – the last point might be a bit of a stretch, but you get the general idea!) I love a challenge, so arranging multi-centre trips, overseas weddings and honeymoons is my speciality. I’m also brimming with great ideas for that once-in-a-lifetime holiday to celebrate a milestone birthday or anniversary. As your Travel Counsellor I’ll happily advise on important visa requirements and I’ll work tirelessly to create a holiday that suits your needs, whether you’re seeking a city break, cruise, all-inclusive or fly-drive. Rest assured that any booking made will be 100% protected and all Travel Counsellors are supported by a team of experienced travel professionals 24/7I’m lucky enough to have travelled extensively myself and my most memorable experiences include swimming on the Great Barrier Reef, having a natural mud bath in New Zealand, hiking up the Petit Piton in St. Lucia, attending my sister’s wedding in Italy, sipping cocktails in Havana and people-watching in St. Tropez. There are still plenty of more destinations on my bucket-list though – the more I travel, the more places I want to explore!I’m here to ensure you have the holiday you’ve always dreamed about with my personal, impartial first-class service. Give me a call to discuss your next getaway – I look forward to hearing from you!

    01392 770 000 Exeter

    Hi everyone!I’m a Travel Counsellor based in Exeter, Devon in the UK.I have grown-up children. We’ve spent most of the last fifteen years in the Middle East, where my husband works, and have used both that region as well as our home in the UK as our starting and finishing point for international travel.I’ve been in the travel business for many years and previously ran my own travel website, helping clients to enjoy the best destinations available worldwide. I pride myself on my ability to communicate with people and helping them to share my enthusiasm for optimising their travel experience with the right choice of destination. Advice on how to do that cost-effectively and without loss of quality is a vital part of my service.One of my personal favourite destinations is the Caribbean. What a place! Sun, sea, sand, great attractions, both day and night, and lovely people. People who have honed to a fine art the ability to extend genuine friendliness and a welcoming way to tourists visiting their lovely tranquil countries and idyllic tropical islands.I love my work as a Travel Counsellor. The satisfaction that comes from being able to advise my clients about how to get the best from their holiday aspirations is obviously a great feeling. At the same time, however, I’m aware of the great responsibility which rests on my shoulders when seeking to ensure that disappointment isn’t an option. Most people only have a few weeks a year to get away from it all and they want to spend their hard-earned cash on the best leisure experience they can possibly get. The number of clients who have returned to me again and again has given me confidence that I must be doing something right!I’m also proud and pleased to announce that my daughter, Sophie, has now joined me in the business and is looking forward to helping me to help you even more efficiently. She’ll be doing her bit to ensure your experience from initial enquiry to your completion of a wonderful vacation is as smooth and carefree as possible.So, if you want to make the world your oyster, from cruises to sun and beach destinations, or skiing and more adventurous holidays all over the world, contact me (and Sophie!) so we can get together to get it right.“To travel is to live” – Hans Christian Andersen

    Hello and thanks for taking the time to look me up. I've been with Travel Counsellors since 2004 and every day is a fantastic challenge which makes me enjoy my work more and more. It's such an honour to be part of such an exciting and innovative company where our ethos is firmly rooted in excellent customer service.For 18 years I specialised in Business Travel and enjoyed creating itineraries which include flights, hotels, cars, ferries and rail reservations but since joining Travel Counsellors, I now have the opportunity to put together some really exciting itineraries for leisure customers as well and my knowledge of the leisure sector is growing by the day.Of course I have done some travelling myself and have been many times to Europe. I loved the buzz of New York, the 'Summertime' feeling you get in Miami and the clean air of San Francisco. Dubai is fabulous for shopping and sizzling on the beach or relaxing in the desert. I've also been to Hong Kong where the pace never eases up and in contrast, to the Caribbean where nothing is rushed and you'd fare better if you just relaxed! I'm also an avid cruiser and have cruised with P&O, Princess, Royal Caribbean and Holland America cruise lines and this year I was on board for P&O's Azura and NCL's EPIC inaugural events. Cruising is fantastic these days and really has something for everyone. So you see, I love travelling and when I'm not, I take pleasure in arranging travel for my friends, and my clients become my friends, and I always arrange a holiday on the basis of ' would I go there'. Thanks for taking the time to read my page and get in touch when you next want your dream holiday arranged. Please feel free to contact me by phone or email.Kind regardsGill

    01204802593 Greater Manchester

    Hi, I’m Laura Finlay, and I’m still pinching myself that I get to call this work! I live in Greater Manchester, am married to a wonderful husband and, fun fact, I do double duty: I’m still teaching and running my Dance Studio while also channeling my lifelong passion for travel by helping others plan theirs.My journey into travel truly took flight with Emirates as Cabin Crew, where I was whisked away to countless cities and countries. Each new airport code, every culture I experienced firsthand, and the joy of serving others inspired me; sparking both wanderlust and a commitment to extraordinary customer care.Dance has been another constant in my life. For nearly twenty years, I’ve taught and managed my own Dance School and Studio. That experience has taught me to nurture creativity, precision, and joy, and those same qualities now shape the itineraries I craft. Over time, friends and clients started coming to me for travel advice, unsolicited. They trusted me to help them choose where to go, where to stay, and how to make their travel dreams feel personal and seamless. After years of doing it for those I care about, I finally decided to follow that nudge and become a Travel Counsellor - and to continue teaching dance, too!I absolutely love creating journeys that resonate deeply. Maybe you dream of the roar of lions and wide-open skies on safari in Kruger National Park, or maybe you're craving ultimate serenity in an overwater bungalow in the Maldives, where every sunrise paints the ocean. Or, perhaps, you want to wander through smaller Spanish towns, hopping from tapas bar to boutique shop, soaking up local charm. I specialise in safari adventures, luxury escapes, and family-friendly trips that feel effortless yet extraordinary.What sets my approach apart is the blend of educator and aviator: precision meets warmth. I plan with creativity and care, founded in my teaching roots, refined by years of in-flight hospitality and customer service, and rooted in authenticity. Planning should never feel overwhelming: instead, it should be about excitement, discovery, and those “yes, this is exactly what I wanted” moments. And since I still teach and run my Studio and am an independent Travel Counsellor, I deeply understand time, balance, and creating something meaningful, whether in movement or in travel: offering flexible availability to suit your schedule whilst proudly being ATOL-protected; enabling you to travel with complete peace of mind knowing that your holiday is financially secured. So simply send me an email, DM on Instagram, or give me a call: whether you're planning a family reunion, a luxury getaway, or a wildlife adventure, I'm here every step of the way, from initial chat to landing back home with lifelong memories, I can't wait to help!

    I’m Ian, a proud Yorkshireman, now living in Swinton, Manchester, where I’ve lived for many years, having made my life on this side of the Pennines. I’m married and have a grown- up daughter and son, who have been well educated in the “art” of travel, enjoying both diverse family holidays and independent travel throughout the World.Some of my fondest childhood memories are from my first family holidays, spent in Butlins resorts around the UK; however, when I was lucky enough to travel to Switzerland with my parents at a young age, I was hooked. I was determined to take my family abroad as soon as they were of an age to appreciate the many and various cultures around the world, with a view to expanding their horizons. My son is now living and working in Australia and my daughter has benefitted from two years in Camp America, as well as travelling in Australia which may indicate our aim has been achieved. Our family holidays have stretched across the globe, from Europe to USA to Asia, helping us appreciate multiple cultures and traditions, whilst having fun!My previous work has involved extensive travel, spending weeks at a time in Europe, India and the USA. As a dedicated performer in competitive brass bands since my teenage years, I have been fortunate to travel as part of a group to Australia, Japan, and Sierra Leone just to name a few memorable destinations. I currently play cornet with the Brighouse & Rastrick Brass Band, and look after all their travel arrangements in the UK and Europe, regularly handling bookings for in excess of 30 people.Why is travel so important? …….. where do I start? Experiencing new cultures and broadening your perspective, de-stressing, recharging your battery ready to re-energise for life back home and most importantly…creating unforgettable memories. “I haven’t been everywhere but it’s on my list” Susan Sontag (Shutterfly). It’s now time for me to pass that travel ‘bug’ on to others, to inspire them, and help them take that first step out of their front door.

I will ensure your travel booking, whether for business, leisure, individual or group, is 100% ready and waiting for you.

Every client is unique, and every itinerary is crafted individually to reflect that.I do all the research, planning, and organisation for you — so you can relax and look forward to your trip.

I take great pride in offering friendly, professional service that goes far beyond standard office hours — because travel inspiration doesn’t always arrive between 9 and 5.Nothing gives me greater joy than hearing how much my clients have enjoyed their holidays — whether it’s a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, a relaxing cruise, or a simple weekend away. My passion for travel and exceptional service is what drives me, and I love turning your travel dreams into reality.When you book through me, you’re never on your own.

    Hi I’m Sarah, Thank you for visiting my website. I live in Grove, in Oxfordshire with my Husband and 3 children. I have always loved to travel and enjoyed many holidays both in the UK and abroad. I have visited several parts of the world from the Caribbean through to Europe. I’ve enjoyed city breaks, have experienced cruising and very recently thoroughly enjoyed my trip of a lifetime by taking my children to Disneyland in Florida. However, there is still plenty of the world left for me to discover.I’ve worked in travel for almost 5 years, up until recently in a store. I tailored packages for hundreds of satisfied customers, very many of these returning to me year after year to rebook. Through this I built up a personal understanding of what holidays they liked and what new adventures I would could make possible for them and others in the future.I believe holidays are not only a break from the normality of life, they also play an important part of your life and I personally feel these experiences should be treasured and remembered forever. Making memories for others gives me huge satisfaction and working as an Independent Travel Counsellor I will be able to provide you with a personal, professional, trustworthy and flexible service. I love to engage with people and my aim is to ensure that every aspect of your valued break is exactly what you require. My priority is you.I will do everything to accommodate your wishes and will be available to offer you help, advice and give you the best service possible.I can cater for all types of holidays from a weekend break in England to an all around the world cruise. I will be able to help you with not only just packages, but flights (business and personal), accommodation, ancillary extras such as attraction tickets, car parking, insurance and hire cars to anything else you may need travel related.If there’s somewhere you’d like to visit – then I can help to make those dreams come true and turn the fantasy into reality. No matter how large or small your enquiry, please don’t delay and contact me today and let’s get discovering the rest of the world together. I am available both inside and outside normal office hours.I look forward to hearing from you. Many thanks Sarah
