Hey! I'm Kerry and I'm so excited to be your personal Travel Counsellor. I live in Stevenage, Herts with my husband, son and our beautiful frenchie Dexter. Travel is my absolute passion and I take pride in not just going the extra mile but exceeding all expectations for my clients and creating them the perfect itinerary to suit their needs. I have been fortunate enough to have visited some truly wonderful places around the world, including Florida, Mexico, Cyprus, Greece, Spain, Dominican Republic, Budapest, Belgium, Holland and many more.... I have been lucky enough to tick Canada & cruising off my wish list, first with a trip to Toronto and the very stunning Niagara Falls, which I would highly recommend. Secondly, a fantastic Norwegian Fjords cruise on the Disney Dream and it really was a dream come true. My absolute favourite place to be is Florida, well Orlando to be more exact, to me Orlando is so much more than the theme parks, when I am there, it feels like home. I have also travelled a little further on to Tampa and Clearwater but would really love to head over to the Florida Keys at some point to.Having worked in travel for more than 25 years, I have extensive experience in arranging package holidays including Walt Disney World, Disneyland Paris, Lakes & Mountains, city breaks such as New York, Paris, Belgium, Amsterdam. Being an independent Travel Counsellor means that I am able to offer and abundance of travel options from long haul to short haul destinations worldwide, cruise, accommodation, car rental and attraction tickets, whilst providing you with a personal, yet professional booking experience from start to finish. You will also have complete assurance that every element of your holiday is 100% financially protected through our independent financial trust and ATOL.I have a whole load of destinations that I still wish to visit and explore such as India, more Canada, Thailand, and my dream is to take a helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon, one day soon, I hope. So, when you're thinking of planning your next trip, I would love to help you turn your dream holiday into a reality, I'd really love to hear from you ~ Dalai Lama: "Once a year, go someplace you've never been before"I look forward to speaking to you very soon Kerry x

Thank you for taking the time to visit my page. I took my first holiday overseas at 13yrs old and I was instantly hooked. I will never forget the apprehension and excitement I felt in the lead up to the holiday, arriving at the airport, boarding the plane, the transfer to our hotel and most of all enjoying every minute in my chosen destination…..As soon as I left school I joined the world of Travel so I could work in an industry I was so passionate about and learn about destinations all over the world. I have worked in the Travel industry for over 30 years in a variety of roles. I have been extremely fortunate to experience so many wonderful trips across the globe, these include numerous Beach getaways, City holidays in Europe & Worldwide, River & Ocean cruises and some of the most memorable adventures worldwide, from snorkelling in the Great Barrier, back packing trips in South East Asia to a VIP 5* experience in Las Vegas, Los Angeles and San Francisco just to name just a few. Using all my experience and passion are vital ingredients to the success of finding the perfect holiday for you, but also taking the time to build a strong relationship and find out what really matters, I care about getting it right for you, for you to feel safe and valued every step of the way. Running my own business as an independent ‘Personal Travel Consultant’ with Travel Counsellors means I am completely impartial to which airlines and operators I recommend. I use my connections far and wide to tailor a holiday just for you, all backed by an award-winning company and a no if, no buts 100% financial protection guarantee. I look forward to hearing from you….

My name is Lisa and I would really appreciate the opportunity to become your personal Travel Counsellor.I have 36 years’ experience working in the travel industry, most of which were spent in an independent agency and now, as a Travel Counsellor, that ethos of independence is able to continue.I have visited many countries over the years, as a single person, in a couple, as a mother and now as a 'mature' person (!), so can give advice from many different perspectives. Australia, New Zealand, the Caribbean, Singapore, Hong Kong, America, Mexico, much of Europe and many more destinations feature on my list of visited countries.As your personal Travel Counsellor I can help make your dreams come true by completing all the research and arrangements for you. A simple telephone call, Facebook message or email from you to discuss your needs is all it takes. From there I can take the reins and guide you, with my knowledge, experience and personal attention, to book the perfect destination for you.Although the term 'Counsellor' suggests an advice service, my service stretches far beyond that. I do not *just* advise - I book everything for you and remain a constant support to you in the run up to your holiday, whilst you are away and until you are home again!This undertaking is made easier for me by the award-winning technology offered by Travel Counsellors. I have access to some 3000 suppliers, which can be searched quickly and efficiently to provide the exact solution to your requirements, be it a tailor-made ‘round the world’ trip, a flight only, a honeymoon, a luxury hotel break or a cottage in Scotland.Customer service is of paramount importance to me and I appreciate that not everyone may be available to discuss their plans during office hours. This is exactly why I offer the flexibility of evening and weekend accessibility at a time to suit you…and I can guarantee that it will always be me on the end of the line (my own holidays excepted!) You will not be passed from pillar to post, or left in a telephone queuing system, wasting your time!If you would like regular updates of our current special offers then please forward your e-mail address via the contact link above or follow my Travel Counsellors Facebook account for offers, information and inspiration ... https://www.facebook.com/LisaRatcliffeTC/The travel bug is incurable! Once it is in your blood you are addicted for life! My love of travel led to my desire to work in the industry, from where I have attempted to spread my enthusiasm to clients and to make dreams come true. Now I would like to do the same for you!

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

Whether you are booking a quick trip to Europe, at home in the British Isles or planning something special long haul, I can provide you with a quality holiday or business trip with the great attention to detail that is vital in making the trip memorable.I have recently relocated, with my two children and two dogs, back to the UK to live in the beautiful region of Cornwall. Having spent the last 27 working in the travel and hospitality industry living and working in Greece, whilst spending many of my winters in Australia, becoming a Travel Counsellor has given me the perfect opportunity to use my wealth of knowledge doing what I love here. I grew up as a Captains daughter so travel was really in my blood and have always lived close to the sea wherever I have been. My parents were extensively travelled before we were even born and we grew up with tales of Singapore and the Far East, and the wilderness of the African jungle, with my father living ten years in South Africa. My own love affair with travel started over thirty years ago when I moved to Athens at a young age to start my adventures there. I spent many years travelling the country selecting accommodation for an upmarket specialist and have spent the last 12 years running a country retreat for walkers and lovers of the rural countryside on the island of Crete, and have an instinctive understanding of the needs of the more discerning and independent traveller.I look forward to helping you plan anything from the trip of a lifetime to a quick weekend away and can assist you with every aspect of your trip, as well as adding some amazing diversions to enhance any trip you are planning.Although I have contacts and knowledge of a great many places my expertise lies in Greece, I also have a vast knowledge of Australia having spent nearly 2 years of my life there spread over nearly 20 years.With the flexibility of working outside office hours and always being on the end of the phone, it is like having a personal travel agent in your pocket!

Hi,I am Mike Bridges - I have worked in travel for 36 years with the last 16 as a Travel Counsellor.

I also arrange corporate travel for my business clients.I have personally travelled extensively to most of these destinations over the years both as a consumer on family holidays and also as a delegate on educational/travel agency visits. Some of the places I have visited include:I have particular expertise in the Australian travel market, having just been awarded the status of Premier Aussie Specialist by Tourism Australia.If you are seeking a personalised service from an experienced independent agent/operator then be sure to contact me for:That overseas wedding, your own or as a guest That special weekend treat Where to take some foreign visitors for a typical English experience That exciting first trip abroad The holiday of a lifetime That special cruise to mark your birthday, anniversary, retirement The annual family summer holiday - compare and contrast places, hotels and prices - The winter sports holiday The long haul trip The holiday ‘where you are looked after’ by a resident tour guide Arranging that conference abroad PA’s booking hotels, airlines, meetings for your boss Visiting that trade exhibition in EuropeThese are just a few of the services I can offer you but in short your travel needs become my personalised concern - let me take the hassle away from your time consuming surfing on the net, that thumbing through brochures - leave it to someone who knows - ring for a discussion and together we will create your holiday experience.I look forward to hearing from you soon…

Hello, my name is John. I live in rural, Leicestershire. I’m a Kiwi living in the UK for the past 25 years.

Which I have worked in ever since.Before becoming a Travel Counsellor, I have worked in various roles in airline operations customer services and for tour operators. In these roles, I have been lucky enough to travel to over 50 countries with excellent first-hand knowledge of New Zealand, Australia, USA, Singapore, UAE, Bangkok, Hong Kong, South Africa, Kenya, Morocco, Venezuela, Uruguay, Brazil, Argentina and most of the Caribbean and Europe. I have had some truly interesting and wonderful experiences along the way. My passion for travel started as a boy growing up in the small, fragrant (those that visit will know why) city of Rotorua. I was fascinated by all these foreigners who were visiting which sparked something inside of me to want to do the same one day. I can find you the perfect bespoke holiday that suits your every need and I can take the stress out of you looking through 100's of websites.

I have been fortunate to visit some inspiring travel locations such as, Austria, Switzerland, New York, The Caribbean, Mexico, Costa Rica, Italy, Spain, Greece, Turkey, Cyprus, Canaries, Balearics, Gambia, India, Egypt, Morocco, Seychelles, Thailand and the magical Euro Disney.I have zip lined through the treetops of Costa Rica’s rainforest, had an incredible adventure travelling through Thailand, visited the mythical Mayan ruins in Mexico, skiing in Austria and Switzerland, and made magical memories with my children watching their favourite Disney characters come to life at Euro Disney. Whether you’re after an all inclusive holiday, last minute deal or family holiday there’s an array of breaks on offer but, with our lives being increasingly busy, booking a holiday – and getting the best deal can feel like a daunting task.

Hello and welcome to my webpage!My name is David and I’m based in a small village in the North East of Scotland and I am delighted to be your personal Travel Counsellor. I have just recently joined the Travel Counsellors Community after working in the hospitality industry. I decided to take my passion for travel and adventure and turn it into my own business. I have been fortunate enough to travel to many places around the world including 60ish countries in North & South America, Asia, Africa and Europe. Cruising is my personal favourite, what’s not to love!! all those different experiences in one, the different destinations, the different cultures and of course the best bit the food….. and yes I will bring it up, the sea does move a bit but after almost 300 nights onboard a ship I can only remember a couple of days that the ship was moving.Here at Travel Counsellors, we don’t do off the shelf packages (well we can if you really want) we tailor every aspect of the booking to make it especially for you, whatever you want to do, wherever you want to do it. Whether that be taking the family to the most magical place on earth or lazing on a secluded beach to sailing the seven seas on a luxury cruise ship or maybe just a little cheeky city break to escape the weather. It’s all created bespoke for you and your family.There isn’t a better feeling than turning off that laptop for a couple weeks and then getting excited for what your about to experience and it’s that feeling I want to pass onto you but with a few extra’s like not having to plan a thing, I will do it all for you. Having all your documents and information stored on our fantastic MyTC app on your smartphone.

Hi, I’m Martin. I live in Hove on the south coast with my young family.My passion for travel began in the mid ‘90s with a round-the-world trip and working holiday in Australia. Since then, I’ve been fortunate enough to have travelled extensively worldwide, visiting over 50 countries along the way. My travels have taken me to places such as Thailand, Sri Lanka, Borneo, Cambodia, Vietnam, Myanmar, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Brazil, the USA, New Zealand, Fiji, Kenya and a number of European countries too. More recently, I’ve been discovering destinations a little closer to home, such as the Canary Islands, that work very well for family holidays.Over the years, I’ve had some wonderful experiences that include watching cheetahs as the sun sets over the Masai Mara, sky-diving at the Whitsundays in Australia, taking a helicopter ride into the Grand Canyon and travelling on the tea country train through the tea plantations in Sri Lanka.Through work trips, I have first-hand experience of staying in some of the world’s finest hotels (and some more run-of-the-mill ones too!) and can pass on some great tips to ensure you get the most from your hotel choices. I have extensive flight cabin knowledge. Business or Premium Economy Class isn’t always as expensive as you may think and makes long haul travel far more enjoyable.Before becoming a Travel Counsellor, my career evolved from working in London for a ‘flights specialist’ and managing a team of 20+, to helping build a small travel ‘start-up’ into a successful travel business and more recently working for an award-winning luxury tailor-made tour operator creating privately guided tours throughout Asia. All these roles have required exceptional service levels and a very keen eye for detail. With over 25 years’ experience as a dedicated travel professional, I can offer impartial, tailored advice for your trip and great prices too! Your leisure time is very precious and I realise just how important holidays are. I take pride in providing inspirational ideas for your trip, something which will save you hours of online research. Planning a bespoke holiday itinerary can be a daunting and sometimes time-consuming experience. Leave the detail to me and I’ll ensure a stress-free, smooth running trip, and you’ll return home with amazing memories that will last a lifetime.For a no obligation quote (or just an initial chat about your holiday plans), please feel free to give me a call or send me an email. I’ll be very happy to help…

After 15 years experience working in London for an award winning high street travel agency, I'm now excited to be running my own travel consultancy with Travel Counsellors.My expertise is in arranging all levels of travel for both corporate and leisure clients. This comprehensive service includes everything you would expect - flights, accommodation, tours, cruises, visa and passport information and immunisation guidelines.The aspect of my job I enjoy the most is the relationships I build with my clients, and the challenge and interest of exploring your travel requirements. During my career, I have built up a vast amount of industry knowledge and I hope to draw on this experience to assist you in your travel plans. From an initial enquiry through to a completed booking, my priority is to provide the highest level of service and to make the booking process enjoyable and personal.My initial introduction to a life in travel was in my early 20s, at a time when I had the chance to take a year off and take my time visiting Asia, Australia, New Zealand and central America. This gave me a passion that I wanted to take in to working life, so on my return I ditched other possible career plans and applied for my number one option!Having subsequently embarked on my career, I have been lucky enough to experience even more destinations, in a variety of different styles. From trekking holidays in Bhutan, Nepal and Corsica, to luxury safaris in Tanzania & Kenya, beach holidays in Thailand, Turkey and the Greek Islands, plus tours of Uganda, Lebanon, India, Brazil and Argentina. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have travelled so widely, and to take these experiences in to my work. I've enjoyed my time so much along the way, working with great colleagues and especially meeting my brilliant clients.So, if you are thinking of a future trip of any sort, please get in touch and we can look at a trip together, and I can add you to that list!

After being in the travel industry for over 30 years, I still get excited when I get a bespoke itinerary to quote on to a new or exotic destination. I started my travel career in corporate travel but soon realised after doing a few holidays for my clients that I loved leisure travel. Over the past twenty years, I have pieced together some amazing trips for customers, from trips on a dogsled to meet Father Christmas in his log cabin under the Northern Lights, Hiking to glaciers in Patagonia's Torres del Paine national park, dream honeymoons on the Eastern & Oriental Express and of course magical Safari's under the African sky to name a few. Having lived in South Africa for more than 20 years, I have been very fortunate to travel to many places in Africa as well as the Indian Ocean Islands, Madagascar, Seychelles and Mauritius and the Maldives.My ability to go the extra mile and pay attention to the detail is what matters most to me and my happiness rests in the knowledge that I have made every available effort to get to know your expectations, personal likes and dislikes as well as your budget. I have access to multiple suppliers to package anything from a weekend away to a round the world trip and with your own TC App, I will be with you all the way.Post Covid, it has become essential to have someone by your side 24/7 to ensure that all bases are covered. Having the assurance of someone that cares about you will give you peace of mind throughout every step of your journey. I look forward to getting to know you and turning your dreams into reality.Sarah x

My roles were VIP Travel Supervisor then Leisure Sales Manager responsible for 56 staff. My last role there was Product Manger for Indian Ocean, Caribbean and UAE. I got to travel extensively in this role checking out suitable hotels and product for our clients.I was headhunted by Travel Counsellors in March 2017. It was a bit scary at first however I liked the flexibility it gave me, working from home, running my own business but still having the back up and support of our Head Office in Manchester. Being able to give 100% customer service to my clients and not working a mundane 9-5.30 day.I have visited 68% of the world and will continue to keep travelling.

Hi my name is Dan and I am a Travel Counsellor in London.I have successfully worked in the travel and leisure industry for 20 years and it is something that really ticks a lot of boxes for me.Discovering new places, meeting different people and cultures are important for one’s personal growth. Ever since I started working in the industry my eyes have been opened to a huge world out there to explore and helping people discover and book trips to those far off lands gives me a great sense of satisfaction in that I might have helped someone discover something new in this world.As well as leisure travel, I also offer corporate travel. I have honed my skills in designing and managing travel itineraries that optimize efficiency, comfort, and cost-effectiveness. From arranging complex multi-city trips to ensuring last-minute changes are handled smoothly, I thrive in fast-paced environments where attention to detail and adaptability are crucial.I started working in the travel industry in the cruise sector which brings to the table another exciting world of opportunities to see several parts of the world in one holiday. It is a unique type of travel that allows a customer to experience several destinations and cultures in one holiday. This was closely followed by the tailor making of unique holidays, custom made for the travellers so if there is something that you would like to experience more of then that can be arranged.Although it sounds cliché I would never book a holiday for someone that I would be averse to taking myself. One should always put themselves in the customers shoes and imagine, as best as you can, what they want to do and how they want to do it. One’s work is a reflection of a person’s personality and the enjoyment and success I have achieved in travel holds me in good stead so don’t hesitate to call for a chat to see what adventure I can help you go on next.

Hello, I'm your personal Travel Counsellor. I live in Mortimer near Reading I caught the travel bug many years ago. My first real trip outside of the UK was a train journey from my home town of Glasgow to Germany at the age of 16 on a 3-month visa. I travelled throughout what was known then as West Germany. I loved every moment. I enjoyed the food, practicing the language and generally just taking in what Germany had to offer. I have since been lucky enough to have travelled and lived in many European destinations. I have enjoyed worldwide holidays to lots of destinations and have travelled within the USA to places such as Hawaii, Utah, New York, Florida and Cuba to name but a few. I arranged my own wedding in Las Vegas followed by our honeymoon in California. I have been fortunate to have visited Egypt several times and have witnessed many changes throughout the years. I have had ridden on the back of an elephant in India and visited the wonderful city of Petra, a sight to behold. We have a bucket list for our round trip of Australia that included Christmas day on sunny beach Queensland in 2016, crossing Sydney Harbour Bridge in the summer 2017 and watching dolphins as the sun went down on Fraser Island. We continue our journey in Melbourne 2019. I have been on many more holidays such as cruises, family trips and girl’s weekend’s home and away. I would be more than happy to share any of my experiences with you. Combining all of the above along with my travel knowledge and the backing of Travel Counsellors this is proving to be a winning formula. I am able to offer you advice and recommendations on all types of holidays across the globe.

My mission is for us to get to know each other so you feel comfortable just picking up the phone or sending me a message anytime you feel the need to escape and you know I will do my utmost to create or find exactly the holiday you are looking for. So why choose me?A little about me…My husband thinks I am annoying because “I have been everywhere”. “Have you been to the Maldives? Have you been to Japan? ‘course you have” with a role of the eyes. Well, no, not exactly….I haven’t been everywhere just yet but I am working on it! It helps that I used to be a scuba diving instructor, an entertainment team member as well as a shore excursions manager on cruise ships for 3 years where I was lucky enough to do one of my 2 epic round the world trips. I also worked for a travel insurance company, a car hire company, a luxury cruise call centre, a well known high street travel agent and a couple of large hotel chains. Now as your personal TC, my travel experience is finally not annoying anymore! This is how I can give you advice, recommendations and put my knowledge and passion to good use. At your service.

All these adventures slowed down when I had my first boy and suddenly, all inclusive holidays and cruises turned into just the thing I dreamt of (and needed!) so I have that kind of first-hand experience too. I am Jill, mum to Sienna, 8, and Enzo, 16, citizens of the world currently living Heybridge near the beautiful village of Maldon in Essex with my husband Leigh, now a retired firefighter and our cockapoo called Bentley.

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.

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.

Hi, my name is Dawn Scott, and I am an independent travel agent from Edinburgh area. I joined Travel Counsellors because I wanted to give clients the very best personal service and travel advice which the company firmly believes in. I have over 18 years of travel experience working in retail and business travel and have travelled extensively around the world. Travel Counsellors is a world leading, independent company offering 100% financial protection, 24/7 care whilst you are travelling and technology that provides personalised information about all of your bookings in real time on your app. Using the technology we have I will tailor the right holiday to your individual needs, whether it is a staycation, city break, a week in the sun or an adventure in faraway places. This means I can build your very own bespoke holiday and save you money! Which is always a bonus!Many people are still unaware that most high street agents are restricted in selling a limited number of tour operators but here at Travel Counsellors we are completely independent, and this allows me to offer you the best choices while benefiting from the buying power of being part of such a large company. I know that our lives have become busier and not everyone is free to discuss their travel arrangements during working hours therefore you will be able to contact me at a time convenient to you when most travel agencies are unavailable. Taking care of even the smallest detail is what makes our service so unique. All clients will benefit from a personal and professional service from the comfort of your own home. If you would like any information or simply an informal chat about your future travel plans, I would be delighted to assist you.

Holidays are: making memories, spending time together, having adventures, ticking off bucket lists exploring new environments, discovering exciting new sensations and travelling to places we once couldn't dream of…I understand that your time is precious and I offer a service that focuses on the details of your holiday to get it right for you and your travel companions - whether that be family or friends. With my years of experience in the industry and extensive travel history to places nearby and far-flung, I will add value to your holiday with personal recommendations you can't find by searching the internet.My attention to detail, passion for travel, and friendly, determined approach will ensure a smooth travel booking journey and will take the weight of "planning the perfect holiday" off your shoulders. My ultimate goal is to save you time and send you on a fantastic and memorable holiday. My collaboration with Travel Counsellors allows me the flexibility to access many different suppliers across the industry and offer you financial protection in uncertain times. This gives you peace of mind that you are in great hands, no matter what.On a more personal note, my passion for travel began whilst I was studying photography. During my time at university, I embarked on extended trips across Europe and Indonesia. Initially intent on travel photography, I spent 12 months on a round-the-world journey before realising that a career in travel - sending people on once-in-a-lifetime trips - was the way forward.Camera in hand, I have hiked the Peruvian Inca Trail, volcanoes in New Zealand and Half Dome in Yosemite alongside many other fantastic walks. I have dived the beautiful waters of Sipadan and the Gili Islands, and taken a heli-hiking trip on Mount McKinley in Alaska. I've sipped wine in vineyards from Europe to South Africa to North and South America. In more recent years I have become a Mum to two fantastic and full-of-life little boys who, alongside my husband, are now joining me on some of my travels around the world. This presents both new demands (and challenges) but I hope my passion for travel is passed on to them in the future and that their feet follow their heart as they make their own discoveries.I am based in Chelmsford, Essex and happy to meet up over a coffee to chat through your future holiday plans, or if time is short and a phone call is easier then please do get in touch to arrange a convenient time - I understand the demands of everyday life so I can be flexible and available in the evenings and on weekends, for a time that suits you.

My name is Gemma and I am based just outside of Watford in Hertfordshire. After almost 20 years experience in the travel industry, 18 of which were spent managing a busy high street travel agency, I am now very pleased to be a self employed travel expert with the freedom and flexibility to provide exceptional customer service.My passion for travel has enabled me to visit some truly incredible places. From cruising through the Panama Canal, to seeing the spectacular Northern Lights in Iceland. Climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge to meeting Mickey Mouse in Disneyworld. Being amongst the wild animals on safari in Kenya to having afternoon tea at the Burj Al Arab in Dubai, I really am fortunate to say these are just a very small sample of my travels.I love to share my knowledge and first hand experiences to enrich your travel plans and give you a holiday experience that creates lasting memories. I like to really get to know you and what you want to get out of your holiday experience. I will ask plenty of questions to build something for you and I won't give up until its perfect - I love a challenge. As I am home based, I am available at a time to suit you including weekends and evenings. I am contactable over the telephone, via email and face to face too, so happy to communicate the way you prefer. Over the 18 years managing a travel agency, I have obtained extensive knowledge on long-haul destinations and also on destinations closer to home. I have tailor-made itineraries but also made many arrangements for family holidays who are working towards a particular budget. I worked at cruise events and have cruised personally myself since the age of 11 which gives me the ability to make valid recommendations for you. I also ran successful events at the National Wedding shows in London, arranging destination weddings for larger and intimate groups of friends and family and their once in a lifetime honeymoon trips.I understand its important for you to feel that you are in safe hands and have confidence when making your travel plans. You can rest assured knowing you have choice, flexibility and financial protection when booking with a Travel Counsellor. So whether its an action packed adventure or a cultured city break, a family holiday by the beach or a cruise around the Caribbean, no enquiry is too big or too small and everyone receives the same high level of service and attention to detail. The only limit to my service is packing your suitcase, otherwise I am there every step of the way. I look forward to hearing from you.

Hello, my name is Steven and thanks for visiting my homepage.I’m based in Douglas, Isle of Man. I have been involved in the travel industry for 30 years, operating across a wide scope of disciplines. From a very young age, travel has always been always been a source of excitement to me. This was precisely a result of my not having the opportunity to do so myself, but having to feed off the globetrotting stories of my neighbours and school friends! Since then my own travels have taken me far afield, across Europe, the Middle East, North and Southern Africa, the Caribbean and Australia. In addition to this I am a keen skier, and have extensive experience of the European scene.Over the years I have discovered that even the most seasoned and worldly travellers can still find the process of sourcing, evaluating and deciding on a holiday or trip, a considerably stressful one. While undoubtedly a positive breakthrough, the internet has become increasingly daunting for some. We are now bombarded with choice, but still left wondering if there's still somehow something magical out there that's hiding from us! Please don't put yourself through all that. Get in touch and we'll make it a pleasure.I'm looking forward to it!

Working in travel since 1993, I bring more than 30 years of experience to every holiday I create. For over 25 of those years I have focused on leisure travel, designing everything from relaxed beach escapes and family adventures to complex, once-in-a-lifetime itineraries. I like to say I am a bit of a jack of all trades when it comes to destinations, which means my clients benefit from a broad perspective as well as deep, first-hand knowledge.I launched my Travel Counsellors business in February 2020 and today it delivers an annual turnover of more than £2 million. Corporate travel is my main area of focus, but as our business has grown, so too has our leisure offering. With our expanding team, we now have dedicated colleagues who support my leisure clients, as well as continuing to look after the travel needs of our corporate travellers and their families.Within the team we have specialists across the globe: from South Africa and the wider African continent to the Caribbean, the USA and South America, Asia and Australasia. We also have expertise across a wide range of holiday types, including ski, golf, safari, beach, luxury and premium escapes. So whether you are dreaming of a Maldivian overwater villa, a family ski trip, a self-drive through South Africa or a luxury Caribbean cruise, there will be someone in the team who knows it inside out.What originally inspired me to become a Travel Counsellor was the opportunity to build genuine relationships with my clients. By taking the time to really get to know you, I can understand what truly matters: the kind of hotels you love, how you like to travel, and the little details that make a big difference. That might be arranging a particular room type with a sunset view, planning a surprise for a special celebration, or recommending a seafront restaurant where I know from experience they serve an exceptional steak. These personal touches are simply not something an online booking website can offer.I pride myself on providing a high-touch, friendly and very personal service, handling every stage of your trip from the first idea to your return home. You will have one point of contact who knows you and your preferences, backed up by my growing team and a 24-hour UK-based duty office for those times when I am unavailable or when you need support while you are away.Travel Counsellors as a business has been recognised many times for the way we look after our customers. We are Queens Award winners for Enterprise for the third time, finalists for Luxury Homeworking Business of the Year, and were voted the best travel firm for looking after their customers during the COVID-19 pandemic by readers of MoneySavingExpert. Our strapline is “With us… it’s personal” and I am proud to live that every day, whether I am arranging a complex corporate itinerary or a much-needed family holiday.If you would like some holiday inspiration, access to the best options without the stress of searching, or simply honest advice on where to go next, I would be delighted to help you plan your perfect trip.
