    Hi My name is Dave Jopling and I have recently joined Travel Counsellors working from my home town of York. I have lived in the York area on and off for over 40 years. If I have ever had to move away for whatever reason I have always had the urge to move back as it's just a great place to live and work.I have been employed in the Travel Industry for 34 years in both the Leisure and Business travel sectors. During this time I have lived and worked all over the country and have been providing all the various travel products from the more complicated flight itineraries with hotels and car hire etc to passport and visa information and everything in between. Because of a combination of my Business Travel background and my knowledge gained over the years of air fare structures and the independant hotel rates that Travel Counsellors have at their fingertips I firmly believe that I can give a new dimension to the long haul leisure travel market.You can stay for as long as you want or even extend stays if you so prefer and you can travel in First, Business or Economy class or any combination and much more. It really does open new doors for you. I have been very fortunate over the years due to being in the travel industry to have travelled all over the world. These experiences have enabled me to gather invaluable knowledge on a vast array of destinations. My favourite part of the world is definitely the Far East as it has such an array of different experiences. You can just relax on some of the best beaches in the world or you can shop 'till you drop in places such as Hong Kong, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur or Tokyo. Anything is possible.With Travel Counsellors you have an organisation with global buying power, security, reliability and a name you can really trust. I think the service you will receive, you will find is second to none.If you need any more information about either myself or Travel Counsellors, please either email or telephone me on the details above. I look forward to hearing from you soonKind RegardsDave

    01172056396 Bristol

    Travel has always been more than a booking for me – it is about how a journey feels from start to finish. Exceptional travel is defined by the details: the right flight, the right hotel, and an itinerary that flows effortlessly.I bring a wealth of personal experience travelling in premium airline cabins, including Business and First Class, complemented by stays in some truly outstanding hotels worldwide. In addition, I have worked closely with individuals who fly privately as part of their professional lives, giving me a clear understanding of the standards, service levels, and efficiency expected at the highest end of travel. This perspective directly informs how I advise on commercial aviation, allowing me to distinguish between what looks premium on paper and what genuinely delivers.As a result, I am highly selective when recommending airlines. I understand the nuances between carriers, cabins, aircraft types, and onboard service, and I only suggest options that are genuinely right for each client’s priorities — whether that is privacy, comfort, consistency, or value within a premium experience.Alongside this, I have a young family, which provides practical, first-hand insight into travelling well with children. From choosing the right resorts and room configurations to balancing relaxation with engaging activities, I am able to recommend family holidays based on real experience rather than assumption.As a Travel Counsellor, I specialise in carefully tailored travel, including refined city breaks, family holidays, complex multi-destination itineraries, and once-in-a-lifetime journeys. I take time to understand how each client prefers to travel, ensuring every element reflects their expectations.You will benefit from a highly personal service, supported by the global reach, financial protection, and 24/7 support of Travel Counsellors. From our first conversation through to your return home, every detail is managed with discretion, care, and attention.

    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.

Just lately myself and my husband have built a campervan (called Vera) and have recently completed a fantastic tour of Northern Scotland called the North Coast 500, which I have to say was another amazing adventure to add to my collection (and hopefully we have many more to come).

Having a young son of my own now means I am more aware of family orientated holidays and therefore will be able to offer help and advice on travelling with children. As a family we love cruising and have enjoyed several cruises over recent years. I also have many corporate clients who book their business travel with me.You can be rest assured that with the Travel Counsellors Trust your money is 100% financially protected and I will continue to work tirelessly to ensure your travel arrangements are handled efficiently and effectively so that you can enjoy your holiday safely and make those all important memories. As your Travel Counsellor, I’ll be available at a time that suits you — day, evening or weekend — and will be on hand every step of the way with honest advice, great value, and outstanding aftercare.I really would be delighted to hear from you to see if I can help you with your future travel plans. I very much understand that we spend so much of our life working and therefore time away is very precious as well as being hard earned. Therefore I would consider it a pleasure to help you plan and book your holidays.Joanne

    Travel has been my life for the past 20 years and hopefully it will be the same for the next 20! I could eat, sleep and breathe the word and I’ve been fortunate enough to travel quite extensively over the USA and Europe. In fact, I could categorically say Florida is my second home, having been there at least once a year, for the past 20 years! I have worked very closely over the years with Disney, Universal and SeaWorld and would be absolutely delighted to create you a bespoke itinerary for your Florida adventure as I know only too well what a daunting experience this can be for first-time visitors. I am also no stranger to New York, Las Vegas, San Francisco, Los Angeles, New Orleans, Dallas, Chicago and even St Louis (and yes, I did lie beneath the arch)!But of course, it’s not all about the USA, Europe is another big favourite of mine – particularly Spain, France (where I was lucky enough to study) and the Greek Islands. I also visited for the first time this year Mexico and it was certainly love at first sight. Those beaches just blow your mind! In fact, if you are looking for something special in Mexico I will let you into a little secret - please just ask and I will be delighted to share!So hopefully you can sense I am passionate about travel and nothing would give me more pleasure than to create the perfect, bespoke holiday package just for you. Wherever and whatever that may be, I will make sure you get the best possible options to suit your budget. So, what are we waiting for? The world is your oyster and I am here to help you make those special, lifelong memories!

  • Brian Costello

    02071250008 London

    Hi and thank you for taking the time to view my profile.My passion for travel started back in 1993 when after six years of working for National Westminster Bank, I decided I wanted to see the world. I travelled to Africa, India, Nepal, Thailand, Mexico, Guatemala and finally Canada where I stayed for three years working in an art gallery in Toronto, and worked my way across to Vancouver with the same company.On my return to the UK in 1997, I started a position with Fidelity Investments but quickly realised my bug for travel was not satiated and in 1998, embarked on a trip to the Philippines, Fiji and Australia where I worked for St George Bank for nine months. I visited Guatemala for the second time travelling by bus through Mexico up to San Francisco where I stayed for five years. I travelled extensively across the west coast visiting Oregon, Utah, Idaho, Wyoming and Nevada and of all the places I visited, Lake Tahoe is my favourite. I returned to the UK in 2003 and naturally it made perfect sense to me to embark on a career in travel so I joined Flightcentre UK, firstly in the direct stores in New Malden, then moving to Sutton Surrey store where I remained until 2007. I was sent on numerous educational trips to destinations such as South Africa, New Zealand, Rio, New York and countless European countries all of which were fantastic and enabled me to gain an extensive knowledge of how travel operators and hotels work. I happily share this knowledge with customers and colleagues alike with the aim of benefitting their travel experience.In 2007 I decided to move to Corporate Traveller. I was spending more and more time with corporate clients, establishing their needs, cementing business relationships, making recommendations and thus making savings. I managed a number of very high profile accounts, examples including Aston Martin, BBVA bank, Celebrity Speakers, Circassia Pharmaceutical and many others and I always maintained the relationships with both bookers and travellers to a very high standard. I have won customer service awards and was the only consultant in the company to attend the Global Ball in Berlin in 2018, (runner up in 2019) based on customer excellence survey results and pride myself on the relationships I have with my clients. I have now embarked on a career with Travel Counsellors, a company founded in 1994, with full ATOL protection, over two thousand staff, full out of hours protection, Queens award winner three times, a five star trust pilot rating, British Travel awards winners and most important of all for me, a company with a truly holistic approach to customers and consultants. Our priorities will always be your safety and your travel experience.Kind regards,Brian Costello.

    Hello, I am Annabelle Marshall, your Travel Counsellor located in Ascot. Before joining Travel Counsellors, I was lucky to have spent most of my career working with some of the top Tourist Boards & hotels in the Caribbean as Director of Sales & Marketing. I have travelled extensively in this region and as much as this is my specialist area, I have also visited many parts of the world with work plus on my own holidays. Travel is my passion.I use my travel knowledge and great contacts in the travel industry to assist in designing a tailor-made holiday that suits all your requirements. I will call upon these contacts for their personal service to enhance your stay. Apart from my beloved Caribbean, my favourite places to visit stretches from Richard Branson’s Casbah Tamadot in Morocco to the calm and luxury of One & Only’s Reethi Rah Resort in the Maldives. South Africa’s individual safari lodges and an Asian river cruise from Vietnam to Cambodia, a photographer’s delight. Europe is also on my favourite’s list, I enjoy a quick city break and return time and time again to Italy and the Greek Islands. I chose to work with Travel Counsellors because they are one of the largest independent agents in the UK. I have worked with them as a supplier since they started some 25 years ago. Travel Counsellors have direct tour operator contracts with hotels, airlines, cruise and tours. However, we can also book via the majority of Tour Operators. Booking with Travel Counsellors gives my clients security as we are 100% financially protected by both ATOL and our own financial Trust. You can call or email me on the above details to discuss your travel plans at any time convenient to you. Active or relaxing, luxury or rustic, adult only or child friendly. I will tailor make your ideal holiday. I’m that helping hand before and during your stay. I am professional, reliable and offer a dedicated personal service in order to match your specific requirements. Using my travel knowledge and connections, I will find you the best options and advice. I look forward to hearing from you soon and to planning your next adventure.Kind Regards, Annabelle

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

    Hi, I’m Jo, your personal Travel Counsellor.I’m a complete self confessed travel fanatic, and for more than three decades I’ve been exploring the world: from backpacking through South East Asia and Fiji, immersing myself in the buzz of cities like Berlin, Budapest and Marrakesh, and soaking up sun and style in Australia and the USA. I’ve holidayed extensively across the continents, from the Caribbean to Iceland, from the Maldives to Ibiza, and The Greek Isles to Goa. It is safe to say I really do live and breathe travel.If I had to pick a favourite, it would be Thailand. The warmth of the locals (it is called the Land of Smiles for a reason) and the incredible food make it a destination I return to again and again. I am a huge foodie, so I know just how important it is to find those unforgettable flavours and authentic places to eat while you are away.I genuinely believe that going on holiday is good for the soul. Time away lets us reset, reconnect and create the kind of memories that last a lifetime.Why choose me? Before becoming a Travel Counsellor, I spent 10 years working in high street retail travel, helping clients turn their holiday ideas into reality. That experience, combined with my own first-hand travels, means I can bring destinations to life and design trips that feel just right for you, your family or your business with an elevated personal touch.I also have a wealth of cruise knowledge and have sailed with lines such as Virgin Voyages, Royal Caribbean International, Celebrity Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Line and Marella, whether you are a first-time cruiser or a seasoned sailor looking for something special.What it is like to work with me I am the complete opposite of booking online. My role is to give you a genuinely personal, human-to-human service. With the flexibility of working from home, you can reach me in the day, evening or at weekends, whenever it suits you.From the moment you first get in touch until you arrive home, I am here to take care of everything: from inspiration and planning, through to documentation, check-in support and in-trip assistance. I cannot quite do your packing, but I can certainly help with your holiday checklist and those all-important finishing touches.Over the years I have built fantastic relationships with trusted suppliers and hoteliers, which means I can often add extra special touches that make your trip feel truly unique.How I create your perfect trip With me, it really is personal. I take the time to get to know you and understand what you are looking for: your travel style, your must-haves, your “absolutely nots” and your wish list. You tell me where you want to go, and I will work out the best way to get you there.Whether you are dreaming of:Bespoke luxury escapes Tailor-made adventures off the beaten track Multi-centre itineraries Ski holidays Honeymoons and celebrations Sustainable stays Solo travel or group getaways Land-based holidays or cruisesI will carefully design an itinerary around you, using thousands of trusted suppliers and excellent rates to ensure great value as well as a premium experience.

    Hello and welcome to my web page, my name is Debbie and I am a Travel Counsellor based in Glossop.I understand that between working hard, having a busy home life and less and less free time it can be a hassle trying to arrange a well-deserved break by using a high street travel agency. Parking problems, a busy office with long queues and an impersonal service make what should be the start of a fantastic trip, a generally disappointing experience.Well, you don't have to be disappointed anymore! I delight in making holiday dreams come true and making the whole process from start to finish as relaxing and enjoyable as possible. I have over eight years’ experience in travel and customer services, having arranged holidays to many wonderful destinations around the world. As I love to travel myself and have experienced some of my own dream holidays, I look forward to arranging yours.Whether it's a city break, family holiday, cruise, honeymoon or business trip, whatever your requirements I will do my best to exceed your expectations and provide great customer service, while fulfilling your holiday requirements even before you leave home.We now have a unique system in place which no other travel agency/tour operator has access to, which enables us to book flights, accommodation and transfers separately. This, more than often beats standard tour operator packages.I look forward to hearing from you and being your personal Travel Counsellor so give me a call or send me an email, anytime.

    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. To see to it that everything works flawlessly for you from beginning to end. 'With us its Personal' is more than the company strap line its how we work so you get the travel arrangements you want.

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.

I adore the process of imagining the perfect getaway, exploring destinations, finding the best accommodations, flights, and activities – ensuring that each trip is unforgettable.

    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

    Hi, I’m Becky, your personal Travel Counsellor.I’m based in Walkern, Hertfordshire, where I live with my husband, daughter and our dog. Travel and fitness are my biggest passions, and I love nothing more than combining the two: think sunrise hikes, mountain summits, and active adventures balanced with a touch of luxury and relaxation.I also love a challenge, especially when it means raising money for causes close to my heart. In September 2025 I completed a summit of Mount Toubkal in Morocco in support of Reuben’s Retreat, and this year I have signed up for a midnight marathon in April to raise funds for our local hospice in Letchworth. These experiences reflect how I travel too: with purpose, determination and a big dose of heart.Recent travels have taken me from husky sledding through snowy forests in Finland and exploring the cities of Sweden and Paris, to soaking up the sun in Turkey, Ibiza and Crete, and setting sail on a Disney cruise to Belgium. I’ve also hosted a group trip to Morocco, hiked the breathtaking High Atlas Mountains, and summited Mount Toubkal, the highest peak in North Africa. It was such a highlight that I am planning to host another group trip there again. Closer to home, I have enjoyed time in Ireland, Dubai, the Lake District, Norfolk and cruising on Independence of the Seas.As you can probably tell, I truly live and breathe travel, and I bring that same energy, care and curiosity to every itinerary I design.I am passionate about creating all styles of holidays: • Relaxing beach escapes where you can fully switch off • Luxury, long-haul adventures and tailor-made itineraries • Family and multi-generational trips that keep everyone happy • Ocean and family cruises with plenty of built-in fun • Culturally rich journeys that go beyond the typical tourist trailBecause I run my own travel business from home, I am fully flexible and work around you.

    Hi , My name is Tracey and I have embraced travel since the age of 13 when I took my first solo trip from London across the North Atlantic Ocean, it started what became my life's passion for travelling. The ART OF TRAVEL is about immersing yourself in the essence of a place: connecting with its people, culture and landscapes while remaining open to unexpected discoveries. It's travelling with intention - whether it’s seeking adventure, finding relaxation and peace, or learning something new. Prior to moving into the travel space, my background as a Television Production Executive gave me the opportunity to film on locations around the world and gain a wealth of global travel experience.

I’ve developed a keen eye for extraordinary places.As an independent Travel Counsellor I have the backing of an award-winning travel business with over 30 years in the travel industry - giving me access to a wealth of travel suppliers, initiative technology, ATOL protected itineraries, client financial protection and the support of a duty office who monitor activities around the world 24/7.Some of the areas that I specialise in are:LEGACY HERITAGE JOURNEYS – I help you to plan a journey to walk in the footsteps of your ancestors. Embrace your family history and turn it into an unforgettable personalised travel experience.CULTURAL IMMERSION - I curate itineraries that help engage in local culture, traditions and community, embracing customs and learning history.SOLO FEMALE TRAVEL - I've travelled solo extensively and I can tell you once you do it, it's hard to travel any other way. Solo travel doesn't mean you have to plan everything alone. I can give advice of places to go depending on your solo travel experience, help you plan itineraries and give safety tips.While you are on your journey, as your travel counsellor, you have the added comfort that I’m always just a phone call away to help you navigate, re-route or plan an additional adventure.

    I’m Claire Young – seasoned travel planner, passionate globetrotter, and the person you want in your corner when only the very best will do.For over 30 years, I’ve been crafting holidays that go far beyond the brochure. From chic weekends in Paris or Florence, to sun-soaked escapes in the Maldives or the Caribbean, to epic journeys across Asia and Australasia – I make it happen. My clients come to me because they want more than just a trip: they want a seamless, tailored experience with every detail handled and every box ticked. And that’s exactly what I deliver.Working with me is like having your own personal travel concierge. I combine insider knowledge, trusted global partnerships, and an instinct for matching people to places that just fit. My job isn’t about transactions – it’s about transformation. Turning a vague idea or half-formed wish into a perfectly polished itinerary that feels completely personal, indulgently effortless, and undeniably memorable.Over the last four years, I’ve taken that philosophy even further by curating a dedicated side of the business: Luxury Romance. This is where I help couples and families celebrate life’s most meaningful moments – honeymoons, destination weddings, anniversaries, and milestone escapes. From barefoot vows on a private beach to once-in-a-lifetime honeymoons or multi-generational celebration trips, I make sure every journey is elegant, elevated, and unforgettable.Luxury travel, for me, isn’t just about five-star hotels or first-class cabins (though I have those covered too). It’s about creating space for connection, for joy, for those rare moments that stay with you forever. That’s what my clients trust me to deliver – and why they come back, time after time, for the next adventure.So, whether you know exactly where you want to go or simply want the kind of trip people will talk about for years, let’s start planning. Warning: a chat with me may cause excessive daydreaming – but once we get going, you’ll be very glad it did.

Travel Counsellors are a Global award winning, independent company, having won the highest UK business accolade 'The Queens Award for Enterprise' achieved by no other travel company and 3 times winner of the Guardian 'Best Travel Agent Award' I take great pride in my work and give 100%. I strive to find the right holiday for my clients and always go the extra mile! Building a rapport and forming friendships with my clients is also a very important element to my job. I care about my clients and would love to have the opportunity to turn your dream holiday into reality. Recently I moved my office in to the Pavilions in Teignmouth. A fantastic new entertainment hub, situated on the seafront. This has allowed me to be more accessible to my clients. I operate from the office on an appointment only basis. It has been proven to be really popular with my local clients, who even just pop in and say hello and perhaps have a cuppa in the lovely café with me. I do also have clients nationwide. I have visited the majority of Europe, including more unusual destinations such as the Azores. I have also been to South Africa, Mauritius, Caribbean, Mexico, USA, Canada and Egypt. I have a good general knowledge of the cruise market, having had the opportunity to cruise with Fred Olsen, Cunard, P&O Cruises, Carnival, Royal Caribbean International, NCL and Voyages of Antiquities. My holiday wish list for the future would have to include the Asia, New Zealand, India and Peru.Having had so many years in the travel industry, I am confident I can offer you excellent travel advice. If I have not been to the destination you’re interested in, I have access to the other 1600 Travel Counsellors so I can always ask for advice so you get the very best recommendations! If you like the idea of having your very own personal Travel Counsellor then just get in touch. I’ll get back to you promptly. Thank you - I look forward to hearing from you!

  • Carter Laffan

    0207 125 0009 Croydon

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

    Hi there, my name is Cheryldene - but you can call me Cheryl!I’ve been in the travel industry since I was 17, starting out at a former major high street travel agency, where I quickly realised that travel wasn’t just a job, it was my calling.

    Alison Kent

    0203 883 7660 London

    My name is Alison Kent and I am an independent Travel Counsellor. I live in Eltham with my partner John and our much‑loved menagerie: Bill, Ernie and Blossom the dogs, Mabel the cat, Coco, Petal, Pearl and Bree the guinea pigs, and Henrietta, Oregon, Florence, Pretoria and Dottie the chickens. It is a busy, happy home, and travel stories are very much part of the fabric of our lives.My love affair with travel began when I was five years old, listening wide‑eyed to the stories of my big brother’s glamorous air hostess girlfriend. I decided there and then that I would work in travel, and I have been fortunate enough to spend the last 47 years doing exactly that.Over those four and a half decades I have held a variety of senior roles across the industry, from high‑street retail and student travel to cruise, tour operating and high‑end tailor‑made. I have managed branches and regions, overseen fares and ticketing, led VIP and leisure sales teams, and worked as a product manager for destinations including the Indian Ocean, Caribbean and UAE. I have also spent time living in the USA and working at sea, which has given me a deep, first‑hand understanding of how every part of a journey fits together for my clients.In March 2017 I was headhunted by Travel Counsellors. It felt a little daunting at first, but the flexibility of working from home, running my own business, and still having the support of our Head Office in Manchester quickly won me over. Most importantly, it allows me to give my clients truly dedicated, one‑to‑one service instead of being tied to a standard 9.00 to 5.30 day. I am incredibly proud of the level of service and care I provide, and many of my clients return to me time and again and recommend me to their friends and family.I have visited around 70% of the world and have no plans to stop. My adventures this year will take me to Moldova, the Faroe Islands, the Azores and France. My current bucket list includes Zanzibar, Greenland, Borneo and Antarctica. My all‑time favourite destination is South Africa, and I am especially passionate about Africa as a whole: its wildlife, landscapes, cultures and people. I also have a real soft spot for the Balkans, with their complex history, dramatic scenery and wonderfully warm hospitality.Responsible tourism is at the heart of how I like to travel and how I like to plan for my clients. Wherever possible I work with properties and experiences that support local communities, protect wildlife and minimise their impact on the environment, so that the trips we create are not only unforgettable but also positive for the places we visit.Some of my most memorable travel experiences include: gorilla trekking in Rwanda, swimming with dolphins in Oman and turtles in Barbados in their natural habitats, wolf trekking in Spain, volunteering at an AIDS clinic in Uganda, and seeing the Big Five in Kenya and Tanzania. I have crossed 80 degrees north in the Arctic and seen a blue whale, snorkelled on the Great Barrier Reef, surfed in Hawaii, practised yoga on the beach in Bali, stayed in a traditional ryokan at Mount Fuji, travelled on the Orient Express from Bangkok to Singapore, and taken the Rocky Mountaineer from Vancouver to Banff. I have also been caving in Oregon, coffee tasting in Colombia, backpacking in Syria (once only 90 km from Baghdad), and even had the surreal experience of being offered a baby for sale in Papua New Guinea.Travel has given me lifelong friends around the world and a few unforgettable celebrity encounters, including meeting the legendary Pelé and my travel hero Judith Chalmers, who once introduced me at a cruise conference as “more travelled than she is”.I live and breathe travel and I am passionate about using my knowledge, insight and experience to make your travel dreams come true, in a way that is thoughtful, enriching and responsible. I look forward to hearing from you and helping you plan and book your next unforgettable journey.

  • Hamish McInnes

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

    Welcome - I am delighted you are here! MY GOAL To help you experience the world in a way that is completely personal to you. With a lifetime spent discovering the world, I offer far more than off-the-shelf holidays and generic travel advice. I bring authentic insights, personal experience and a genuine passion for helping you uncover those “wow” moments that make every journey truly unforgettable.MY PASSION FOR TRAVEL After studying French and German at university and spending an amazing year living in the beautiful Danube Valley, I headed off to Japan for a year where I truly learnt the joy of immersing myself in a different culture. I was lucky to be in the same prefecture as the iconic Mount Fuji from whose summit I saw the most spectacular sunrise. From there, my adventures have spanned the globe from climbing Mount Kinabalu in Borneo, snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef and trekking the Aussie Outback, exploring the stunning islands and ancient sites of Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia, standing on the Great Wall of China, sipping a Singapore Sling in the iconic Raffles Hotel, marvelling at the Taj Mahal and driving coast-to-coast across the USA. I have been fortunate to venture off the typical tourist path with work too, exploring places like South Korea, Taiwan and Zimbabwe. I also have a real passion for scenic cruising and for me, there is nowhere quite as mesmerising as the Norwegian fjords.MY EXPERTISE My background first as an export sales manager and then as a global event manager means that you benefit from years of professional planning, first class customer service and meticulous attention to detail.

    01663 460166 High Peak

    Hello, I’m Karen, your personal Travel Counsellor and I am here to turn your travel dreams into memorable, meaningful adventures.With a lifelong curiosity about the world, I yearn for journeys that feel out of the ordinary, whether it's a short hop from home or a long-haul adventure. I am especially drawn to places where you can experience local culture first hand and connect with the people and stories that make a destination unique. For me, travel is as much about conversations over coffee, shared experiences and chance encounters as it is about famous views and landmarks.Some of my most vivid memories are from South America, particularly Bolivia and Peru: scaling Huayna Picchu and looking down over magical Machu Picchu; wandering though the white walled streets of Arequipa; navigating the chaos of La Paz and descending into a working Bolivian mine to meet the miners, taking coca leaves as a small gesture of thanks and respect. Closer to home, the experience of sailing through the Norwegian Fjords and the stunning islands of the Stockholm archipelago will stay with me forever. These kinds of journeys, where culture, scenery, people and emotion all weave together, shape the way I design holidays for my clients. I believe that extraordinary experiences can be found both near and far and I love a city break. Ask me, I am always happy to introduce people to places that feel fresh and surprising.Why not consider: Matera, Italy. With its honey-coloured cave dwellings, rock-hewn churches and slow pace of life, it's great for foodies, history lovers and photographers. Timisoara, Romania. Often compared to Vienna but with far fewer crowds, filled with pastel squares, quirky cafes and a vibrant creative arts scene. Tblisi, Georgia. A vibrant food and wine culture meets strong local traditions including the sulphur baths where locals love to meet and chat to visitors and Narikala Fortress which you can visit by cable car to take in stunning views of the old town. Trieste, Italy. You can enjoy a seafront stroll and visit the grand coffee houses in a city shaped by Italian, Slavic and Austro-Hungarian influences. Of course, I also love the UK! Challenge me to find you a new experience without even leaving the country.One activity which brings people together is cruising. Unpacking once and waking up each day somewhere new to explore is a joy. Whether you want a luxurious ocean cruise suitable for a multi-generational group or a more intimate river cruise suitable for 2, I will help you find ships and itineraries which match your style and personality. My own bucket list dream is an expedition cruise that combines remote landscapes and remarkable wildlife with expert guides and the comfort of being beautifully looked after on board.As your personal travel consultant, my focus is on creating a trip that feels thoughtful, relaxed and absolutely made for you, with the planning made effortless. Whether your ideal escape is a luxury beach break, an exciting winter skiing trip, a cruise, an immersive cultural journey, a solo escape or a family adventure, I take the time to understand what really matters to you, then look after every detail. Sharing travel experiences is what truly makes me happy, and I want to make your trip the best it can be.When you book with me as your Travel Counsellor, you also benefit from excellent financial protection, the reassurance of a 24/7 Duty Office and the convenience of the myTC app, which keeps all your travel plans and documents in one place.If you are starting to think about your next trip, please get in touch and I will help bring your dreams to life.

    I've been creating memories for people for over 45 years. It was In 1978 I started my career in travel; and after a lifetime working in resort, hotel and travel operations management, today I am still here helping people who want to see the world do it with confidence, in safety and with financial protection.In the pandemic years, I looked after my clients with a "whatever it takes" attitude; reorganised travel, and made refunds promptly. In 2021 we moved forward, finally getting people to where they want to go and 2023 has seen my best year ever as a Travel Counsellor and I can only thank the hundreds of you who have placed your trust in me to manage your travel. I'm often asked what sort of travel I do - there is no definitive answer.From city breaks to ocean and river cruises, campervans, river boats, and yachts along with complex flight itineraries, group breaks and conferences. I've organised multi-centre itineraries to Italy, Croatia, Norway, Japan, Costa Rica, Chile and Peru, New Zealand, Australia, Hawaii, USA & Canada fly-drives, Sri-Lanka, Malaysia and Indonesia wildlife holidays including the odd orangutan and a Komodo dragon or two. I've planned complex rail and road itineraries across Spain, Croatia, Montenegro and France, and plenty of Greek Island hopping. I’m a globetrotter and have visited 72 countries. crossed the Pacific exploring Hawaii down to Tonga, Samoa to French Polynesia to New Zealand and Australia, sailed around South America, enjoyed the Indian Ocean, and made several Atlantic crossings, arriving into wonderful New York, and "inching" under the Verrazano Narrows Bridge as the sun comes up, glistening against the windows of the skyscrapers in Manhattan.And having worked in many ski resorts over the years in Austria and Italy, and also skied extensively in Switzerland and France, I'm also a bit of a whizz on ski holidays. I have my own FB page for ski enthusiasts - just type in "Ski the World with Vanessa" to find me. It's a haven for ski deals, ski chat and equipment advice and if you are beginner there is no better place to start !In 2019 I earned the Master Tourism qualification from the Japanese National Tourist Office - I've already helped many clients to explore this mysterious and exciting nation, by rail road, foot, bike and boat . with more unique handcrafted adventures planned in 2025 and a ski holiday planned for 2026.On the subject of snow, I'm also very excited to be planning yet another Antarctic experience for my clients with hiking in Patagonia for 2026, and more Australia and New Zealand itineraries and adventures in Fiji and French Polynesian !And, my specialist destination? Ohh its complicated because I know so many! I've been to Italy 28 times, worked there for many summer and winter ski seasons, and know the country exceptionally well; and over the last four years, have been refreshing my Italian language skills with some success. I look to find unique, and different experiences for my clients and I know that many of you reading this, will have come to me because you are tired of spending endless hours at your computer or squinting at your phone, worried about getting things wrong, unsure with what you are committing yourself to. More than ever, I know you are looking for that personal touch to travel, and not a faceless website devoid of human contact. My business is built on referrals and repeat business, and as a testament has quadrupled in size since 2019.Why not read my client testimonials below and then call me to start your next adventure ?I am more than happy to be available at a time that suits you, including evenings and weekends as my hours are flexible.Lets travel in 2025, do something amazing and make it a year to remember...

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