Hello and thank you for visiting my webpage.My name is Jen and I am based in Penarth, just outside the vibrant city of Cardiff. I specialise in all aspects of corporate and group travel.My passion for travel started in my teens; I have visited over 30 countries and worked on three continents. Travel was the obvious career choice for me. It began in Australia organising dream holidays for backpackers and following my return to the UK, several years in leisure travel. My speciality was organising complex itineraries. The move to business travel was a natural development for me; I enjoy the fast-paced, multifaceted aspects of corporate travel and pride myself on my attention to detail. All my clients, local and global, receive the same high level of efficient service. Please do not hesitate to contact me for a ‘no obligation’ quote and to discuss in fuller detail the contribution I can make to your team.I look forward to hearing from you.

Hello, I’m Norman and I’m happily married to Janet and we have a wonderful Golden Retriever Freya.So you may ask, why choose me to arrange your travel plans?To answer that I’d first like to tell you a little bit about why I started working in the travel industry, way back in 1975.As a young boy, I dreamed of becoming an airline pilot, having been fortunate to travel extensively with my family to some of the far flung corners of the globe, well before tour operators or even travel packages were conceived. As a 12 year old I would often be found sitting in the cockpit with the pilot, asking hundreds of questions and getting my Junior Jet Club Frequent Flyer log book signed.Sadly due to colour blindness, my dream job could never be realised, but that didn’t fade my love of travel and so in my early twenties I took ownership of a local travel agency; in Wigan, learning the trade from the bottom up.Since that date in 1975 I have been responsible for arranging thousands of holidays and business trips for individuals, couples and families, major corporations, a leading TV company and broadcaster, celebrities and professional sports clubs, including their players, backroom staff and an army of devoted fans. I have been known to charter private jets, trains and dare I mention organizing the travel plans of a major political party during a general election.My clients come from all walks of life; have different expectations and budgets, which I try my utmost to fulfil. From room or seating requests, to the dietary requests of a famous TV chef, I’ve learned that nothing is impossible. Sure I still love to travel; who doesn’t?, but I get enormous satisfaction turning dreams into reality and the feedback I receive helps me keep abreast of the constantly changing world in which we live.So, whether you want a mini break or beach holiday, a river cruise, a Caribbean or round the world cruise, a trip to Antarctica, a safari, or journey on The Rocky Mountaineer or Trans Siberian Express. Do you dream of skiing or snowmobiling, or desire a bespoke multi-centre trip to Australasia or the Far East. Don’t worry, I’ve arranged them all.No trip is too big or too small, so with over 45 years in the travel business, give me a call and experience my experience.Norman

Welcome to my travel page!Hi, my name is Hannah, and I live just outside of Marlborough in the beautiful Wiltshire countryside. My wanderlust for travel started at 19, with an eye-opening trip with friends to India, Nepal and Thailand. For me, travel is a way to truly come alive: to step outside the everyday and into something extraordinary. Every journey is a chance to create stories that stay with you forever, and this sense of wonder continues to fuel my passion for exploring the world.Some of my most meaningful adventures have been shared with those closest to me: family and friends who transformed each journey into something truly unforgettable. Among my favourite travel memories are trips to Australia, Brazil, the US, St Lucia, the Maldives, and—of course—my honeymoon in the stunning Seychelles. A recent family holiday in Kenya - a perfect mix of safari and beach - was one of those once-in-a-lifetime moments that brought us all closer together. It’s experiences like these that remind me just how transformational travel can be.After years working in live event production, where I specialised in planning, problem-solving, and creating memorable shows, I decided to turn my passion for travel into my profession. Through extensive training with the Travel Counsellors academy, I’ve gained industry-leading knowledge and tools to launch my own travel business, now specialising in music and entertainment travel as well as premium experiences for individuals, couples, and families.Drawing on my background in live events and music, I truly understand the fast-paced, detail-driven world of touring, performances, and productions. I’m proud to collaborate with expert Travel Counsellors who bring over 20 years of music travel experience, allowing me to deliver seamless, stress-free itineraries for artists, crews, agents, and event professionals. From complex group logistics and last-minute changes to VIP extras and personal attention, you’ll always have a calm, creative partner by your side.Alongside music and entertainment travel, I craft highly personalised holidays. Whether you’re dreaming of a relaxing beach escape, an unforgettable family adventure, a romantic honeymoon, an empowering solo journey, a luxurious cruise, or a thrilling ski trip - I will create your perfect escape.What sets me apart? It’s the genuine care and personal attention I give to every client. I take the time to understand your interests, preferences, and travel style, so your journey is truly yours. And it’s the extra touches - like airport parking, lounge access, and smooth check-in - that help make your travels as effortless as possible.Booking with a Travel Counsellor means ongoing support every step of the way. We offer complete financial protection and 24/7 assistance whenever you need it, so you can travel with complete peace of mind.Your journey deserves more than just a booking, it deserves thoughtful planning, genuine care, and a personal touch.

Over the years I’ve supported customers through everything from volcanic ash clouds to the Covid pandemic and countless flight cancellations. Whatever comes up, you’ll have me and our incredible 24/7 Duty Office to keep things on track.Ready to start planning? Let’s chat. MORE ABOUT ME I live in Edinburgh with my wife, two daughters, a cat, a dog and five pet rats. Travel has been part of my life for as long as I can remember, from backpacking across Europe and a working holiday in Australia to a year overlanding through Asia, plus plenty of family holidays since.We’re lucky to visit family every year in some of the most stunning parts of Western USA, from the beaches of San Diego to the ski slopes of Colorado.When I’m not planning trips, you’ll usually find me outdoors. I love hill walking, running, skiing and camping. I’m also a competitive runner with a soft spot for ultra marathons, because apparently 26 miles just isn't enough.

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.

Travel is in my blood; having grown up with my Mum working from her home office as an independent travel agent, booking holidays all over the world for clients and our family, a passion for travel has been passed down to me and has only grown over time.As such as big part of my own life I wanted to help others to experience the world and all the amazing places, people and experiences it has to offer, and that is when I decided like mother like daughter to turn my hand to planning bespoke holidays for other people.I love nothing more than talking travel, taking the time to listen and understand what someone is looking for from their trip, then sharing my own personal experience and professional advice to put your dream trips together!

I have travelled in all manner of styles from luxury all-inclusive hotels to backpacking across continents, I’m a qualified skipper and have sailed all over the world and love nothing more than road-tripping through a country to truly get a feel for the culture and destination. I’ve worked in travel for a few years now and have booked incredible trips for my clients including: - Month long self-drive tours of Australia and New Zealand (including helicoptering over glaciers and fishing in the fjords ) - African Safaris spotting the Big 5 - Honeymoons across the Indian Ocean, with added romantic touches - Stunning overwater villas in the Maldives spotting giant rays from their terrace - Family holidays to Mauritius and the Caribbean - Anniversary trips to picturesque Greek islands - Luxury island hopping in The Seychelles - Expedition cruises to the Arctic Circle to spot polar bears - Florida fun with Disney, the Everglades and white sandy beaches - European city breaks with fine-dining in castles - Solo travellers on organised tours to the spiritual sites of India - Historical and gastronomy bespoke tours of the Silk Road - Adventure filled trips to Latin America - Cultural exploration and surfing in Sri Lanka - … and much, much more!Whilst I love to be able to advise on places I have personally been I also have a network of fellow Travel Counsellors to go to for extra advice and work with brilliant worldwide suppliers in destination that help me to put together tailor-made itineraries with off the beaten track spots and unique local experiences.

Hi, my name is Adrian and I live in the beautiful village of Lympstone, located on the Exe Estuary in Devon.Having been born and bred in London, I am happy to call this stunning part of the world my home now, with its lovely beaches, coast and rolling hills which allow me to indulge in my favourite outdoor pursuits - running, cycling, walking and, of course, getting out on the water to kayak and paddle-board.Having spent 11 years working for a highly respected and award-winning High Street travel agency, I have been enjoying life as a Travel Counsellor since the summer of 2018, and, having rolled the waves of the pandemic, am still loving the flexibility of being a TC . In this role I have organised a vast array of different travel experiences - from UK weekend breaks, beach holidays in Europe and beyond, self-drive holidays in the USA all the way through to cruises in Antarctica. Catching the travel bug at an early age, I have always loved the feel, noise and buzz you get when visiting somewhere new - or revisiting a familiar destination. Twenty years ago, with my wife Pauline, I left the world of London finance to go travelling for a year and never looked back. I have been lucky enough to visit over 40 countries on 5 continents; from sleeping under the stars in the Sahara, backpacking around China and south-east Asia, to 5* luxury hotels in Bali. There’s never been a dull moment.My favourite countries are South Africa with its diverse culture and scenery, Thailand for its incredible people and beaches, and Italy, well, for everything else! Being a Travel Counsellor allows me to share my passion for travel with you, focusing on providing the best possible customer- service, and getting to know your own likes, dislikes and requirements. My goal is to give you the holiday you deserve, whether that’s a dream holiday of a lifetime, a family beach holiday, a romantic city break, a business trip, an adrenaline-fuelled ski trip, or even your honeymoon!Unlike other travel agencies, I am independent and impartial with access to thousands of leading travel suppliers, major airlines, hotels, tour operators, cruise lines and car hire companies. I am backed by a team of professionals, keeping a 24-hour watch on the weather and global issues, with full financial protection from the Travel Counsellors Financial Trust and ATOL.The flexibility of working from home means I am there for you whenever you call, and I am happy to come out to meet you to get your trip right from the start. Just call or email me, and I will be in touch.I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Hello and welcome, my name is Ian Gifford, I live in Chalgrove, near Oxford with my wife Barbara. We have been here for eight years having lived and worked all over the UK. We love this location because of the friendly village community and the fantastic links to the world, with Heathrow only 40 minutes away.My dad encouraged my passion for travel from a very early age, taking me on exciting day trips to London, although I can still remember being too terrified to climb the ladder at the top of the dome of St Paul’s Cathedral!As a teenager, I just wanted to see the world. I completed cycling tours to the West Country and organised school walking tours that led to running a New Forest Youth Hostel. My early career in hospitality ensured a strong appreciation for food and wine, which included running our own hotel and restaurant, that is why I feel local food and drink is an exciting part of travel.Customer Service is part of my passion, going the extra mile, delivering the unexpected, when Covid-19 emerged I worked 24/7 to successfully repatriated all my customers from Australia, Vietnam, Philippines, Costa Rica and the Maldives, often needing to re-route and re-book as a result of restrictions that were emerging all the time. However, this is my approach even without CV-19 it is being there on the end of the phone when the customer needs me or resolving a problem before the customer is even aware. On one occasion, at 11pm, I became aware that Yosemite National Park was about to close, due to fires, my family were due to go two days later, I found alternative accommodation and then called the customer, confirming everything whist they stayed by the pool.For my business customers, I have arranged events for companies including elaborate dining in unusual locations, an amazing firework display and made sure guests got to a Champions League match when all flights were cancelled due to an airport closure. However, with business travel it is all about being available to help plan, manage changes and provide solutions so the customer can concentrate on his priorities.Identifying my favourite destinations is a challenge, however, seeing leaping Mantra Rays off the Pacific coast of Mexico was amazing, and the rustic village restaurant in Pergine Valdarno, Tuscany provided a uniquely warm feeling with other unforgettable experiences such as Samaria Gorge in Crete at dawn, skiing in powder at Verbier, Golf in the Algarve or watching a Grand Prix in Malaysia.Whether it is advising a restaurant on a client’s food allergies or organising a private tour in Rome, making sure your travel plans are exactly how you want them is vital. It is my responsibility to ensure you have first class service, before, during and following your trip.I am here to help, at times convenient to you, some of my clients have been in different time zones and I have planned calls at midnight before now, so if it is better for you to talk in the evenings or at weekends, that is fine with me. I look forward to talking with you soon.

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

Hi and thanks for visiting my page!You and I both love travelling, so let’s work together to create memorable experiences for you whether it be a short break, a family holiday, a special occasion, time away with friends, your honeymoon, or just some much-needed R&R.I joined Travel Counsellors in 2014 whilst living in Abu Dhabi, in United Arab Emirates, which was home for myself and my husband for the last 8 years. It is such an honour to be part of this exciting and innovative company where our ethos is firmly rooted in excellent customer service. My time in the UAE is full of great memories that I will cherish forever as I met so many wonderful people many of whom started out as colleagues or customers and are now friends. On returning to England, I knew that if I wanted to continue providing this great service to friends and family, I would need to open a UK branch. So here I am, eager and ready to go on this new journey!Life in the UAE is ever-changing and the great cultural melting pot just feeds my love of people and embracing different cultures, many of which I learnt about through friendships with people from across the region. It is such a privilege to know that I had that opportunity. I was born and raised in South London from a Jamaican family and part of the vibrant Caribbean community in England; that in itself is a whole travel experience! Over many years I have enjoyed putting together our family trips, organising flights, transfers, car hire, train reservations and excursions. Since joining Travel Counsellors, I have used the invaluable in-house company training and my extensive professional background in HR to put together some wonderfully exciting itineraries for leisure and business clients in the UAE, the US, the UK and a variety of other countries. My clients are from a cross-section of backgrounds and professions with varied interests and requirements for their trips, which has enabled me to establish great international contacts that I can tap into for the benefit of my treasured clientele. It goes without saying, that I’ve had the pleasure to visiting some wonderful places over the years with our family; my husband and 3 (now grown up!) children. We explored Abu Dhabi and the other six Emirates of the UAE extensively and whilst living in the region, also went to the beautiful nation of Oman. My husband and I got bitten by the “travel-bug” as teenagers whilst visiting Spain and taking round trips around the English shores. Over the years, we have visited many parts of the USA, several Caribbean islands, enjoyed countless European weekends away as well as being fortunate enough to visit Japan and Malaysia. Needless to say, there are many more places on my bucket list, including parts of the UK, that I’m yet to see. With over 25 years of experience building and maintaining client relationships, I pride myself on delivering premium quality care and service to every single client. My promise to my clients is to listen to your needs, do the research and remain flexible to the changes as they come. I aim to remain impartial, eliminate the hassle of internet searching and to make your entire experience a pleasure from booking through to every step of the trip itself. No travel centres, just you and I making your travel dreams come true.Let’s explore ideas and get booking together!

Hi, I’m Michaela, a Manchester based Personal Travel Counsellor with over 23 years of experience in the travel industry.My love for travel started young, thanks to my grandparents’ shipping business, as I got to travel the world with them. I was lucky enough to explore the world before tourism took off in places like the Middle and Far East. Those early adventures sparked a lifelong passion for discovering new destinations, cultures and unforgettable experiences.Today, I specialise in creating tailormade holidays for all types of travellers, whether it’s a once in a lifetime USA road trip, a family beach escape, an escorted tour, or an intricate multi-centre adventure across the globe. I have particular expertise in the USA and Canada, as well as in designing intricate multi centre itineraries, but with access to hundreds of trusted suppliers and trade-only travel brands, I can help you explore just about anywhere.I’ve explored the USA, Canada, the Middle East, Far East, Europe and for a short, quick holiday, there’s a little corner of Turkey that’s my go to, it’s my happy place at least once a year.Some of my own travel highlights include helping at an elephant rehabilitation centre in Chiang Mai, stargazing with my family in the remote American wilderness during an RV holiday, getting married in Las Vegas, climbing Sigiriya Rock, waking up to powder-white sands on Florida’s Gulf Coast, and experiencing the magic of Disney through my son’s eyes on his very first visit in 2004, and in fact every year after that until 2014. These are the moments that make travel unforgettable, and I love helping others create memories just as special.What really drives me is getting to know my clients and understanding what they’re dreaming of, and then building something personal around it. I love nothing more than chatting through your ideas, and turning them into the kind of trip you’ll talk about for years to come.As your Travel Counsellor, I offer a one to one service from start to finish, I’m here to take the stress out of planning and give you complete peace of mind.Away from work I’m also a wife and mum, and I truly value the flexibility this role gives me, not only to be there for my family, but for my clients too. I always try and work around my customers, offering support when it suits your schedule, whether that’s during the day, in the evening or at weekends, and if you are local to me, I'm happy to meet up for a coffee too... us Northerners don't need an excuse for a brew!If you’re ready to plan your next adventure, no matter how big or small, I’d love to help you, so get in touch.

Hello, I'm Judith and I live in the beautiful village of Elmton with my partner Roy and our West Highland terriers Daisy and Rosie.If you are reading this, the chances are you are contemplating booking your perfect holiday or short break very soon. So let me tell you a little about myself.My love of travel started 27 years ago when living in Greece. I lived around the Greek islands, mainly Corfu, Kos, Crete and Rhodes. Looking after holidaymakers on their special holidays helped me to realise how important your well deserved break away is, and when returning to the UK my desire was to continue to help my customers find the perfect holiday. I worked in a high street agency for a while but quickly began to realise that customers needed an agent who could offer any holiday, anywhere in the world, at anytime of the day especially in the evening after work, an independent agent they could get to know and trust with their travel plans. I became a personal Travel Counsellor 19 years ago and have not looked back.I now create holidays anywhere in the world. I believe that your holiday should be unforgettable. Everything will be tailored to suit you. The personal contact I have with you through the booking process makes sure we miss nothing. It’s like having a friend book your holiday for you. All you need to provide is the idea, even if it is vague!I still get excited about all my customers’ travel plans, whether it be a luxury/bespoke tailor-made holiday, long haul destination, package trip, cruise or an adventure tour.As your Personal Travel Counsellor you will find that I’m refreshingly different from most other travel agents as I work from home, so I am available as times that suit you.Planning a holiday really is this easy. I am also available 24/7 whilst you are away on holiday and with the myTC app you have access to all your travel documents and my contact details in one place – great ways to give you that all important peace of mind.Please do not hesitate to call me and I will help you with your holiday requirements, or if you just need some friendly advice on your travel plans. Get to know me and you’ll love the difference I make when planning your perfect holiday.

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!

Hello, and Welcome to my webpage.I am an independent Travel Counsellor based in Toddington, Bedfordshire. With over 30 years working in the Travel Industry, I think it is safe to say Travel is my passion, and not just my personal trips but also my career. For the last 23 years I worked for a major Corporate Travel Company and during my time there I was extremely proud to be named Employee of the Year 2013 and receive a Pacesetter Award for Outstanding achievements. I have travelled extensively and with my knowledge and personal experience I would love to be able to help create your dream holiday, whether it be a long-haul adventure, skiing, cruising, a fun city break, time out on a beach or a week in the English countryside. My personal trips have taken me far and wide – Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Dubai & Bali. Many parts of the USA (from trekking in the Rockies to skydiving in Las Vegas and much more in between!) Canada, Cuba, Jamaica, Cyprus, Turkey, Greek Islands, many parts of Spain, The Algarve, and countless other European cities and beach destinations. A couple of cruises and a fair bit of skiing in Bulgaria, Austria & France as well, so I have been busy in my 35 years of travelling, have loved every minute and still it continues!

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

For example, I recently helped a couple with a proposal on a private beach in the Maldives, thankfully, she said yes!Travel has been a significant part of my life since I took a road trip around Eastern Europe at 18. Since then, I’ve visited over 70 countries, each experience shaping my expertise. I spent four years living in San Francisco, exploring the U.S, which remains one of my favourite destinations. I also worked and travelled in Australia for a year and spent six months in New Zealand. Some of my most unforgettable travel experiences include hiking in the Himalayas, skydiving in New Zealand, camping in Namibia’s wilderness, journeying from Peru to Argentina, road-tripping across the U.S, immersing myself in Japan’s culture, watching wildlife in Africa and Yellowstone National Park, living on a yoga ashram in India, flying over Hawaii’s Na Pali Coast in a helicopter, getting married on the Amalfi Coast, meeting the warm-hearted people of Burma, witnessing a Hawksbill sea turtle lay her eggs in the Seychelles, and relaxing in a luxury over-water villa in the Maldives. These moments have enriched my knowledge of destinations and have inspired me to craft unique and incredible travel itineraries for you.For your peace of mind, every booking made with me is protected by the Travel Counsellors Financial Trust and ATOL cover, ensuring your money is safe. Planning a holiday can be time-consuming, especially when endless online searches only add to the stress. Let me take the hassle off your hands! After a quick consultation to understand your dream trip, I’ll get to work finding the perfect holiday for you. If the first quote isn’t quite right, I’ll keep refining the plans until you’re absolutely happy.

Hi I'm Pam and welcome to my page.I live in the Rochdale area and have worked within the travel industry for more than 31 years so it’s relatively safe to say I know a thing or two about travel.My client base is extensive and rapidly growing for both business and leisure. My business is based on referrals, so I like to think my growth is down to the high level of service I provide, which most important of all provides you, the customer, with total peace of mind.As you are probably aware the industry is rapidly changing. In order to meet the challenge of change we at Travel Counsellors are equipped with the most up to date technology that permits me to give you, the customer, precise advice that is geared totally around your own individual requirements.Why Travel Counsellors and not a high street agency you may ask yourself? On the high street the conventional method of selling is directional. Therefore you’ll be recommended specific companies which benefit that particular high street agency. In contrast, I’m completely independent so I have no ties to any particular tour operator or supplier. I’ll recommend the holiday that is right for you and is geared to your individual requirements. In addition, I offer a 24 hour service. I’m always available, and it will always be me that you deal with as there are no call centres. I’ll be there on the end of the phone should you require anything prior, during, or after your trip.So if you want a holiday that is as individual as you, where your business is valued and not just a sales statistic, be it a cruise, UK break, ferry or flight, why not give me a try?I look forward to hearing from you.All the BestPam

Hi! My name is Helen and I live in Milton Keynes. I set up my own travel business after leaving my previous career in teaching. I wanted to do something that made people smile and after all, that is what holidays are all about. I was also blown away by the ethos of the company and the fact that with Travel Counsellors, it IS personal. I won’t try and sell you the holiday that a specific company wants me to sell. I will help to create the holiday that YOU want instead. As a Travel Counsellor I have access to destinations and experiences all over the world.I absolutely love cruising – both travelling and selling. A cruise is also fantastic way to holiday and I particularly love Northern European cruising and all things Scandinavia. I am also proud to be a member of CLIA (Cruise Lines International Association) with Masters Accreditation.If you've thought cruising is only for the older generation then it is time to rethink. My favourite, and most sailed cruise line is Disney Cruise Line. If you think they are just for families, then think again - the best cruise I did without the children was a Disney one :)One of my other top destinations is the Maldives which I visited for my honeymoon - absolute bliss! My favourite city destination is New York and I can give great advice on Broadway shows to see while you are there. One of my most travelled parts of the world is Scandinavia and whether you want to visit in the summer or winter, want a nature or city break, I can advise you on where to go and when.I can also help if you need advice when travelling with autistic adults or children. I am autistic and my son who is also autistic has grown up going to Disney and cruising. Both of these types of holiday can be scary for someone who is autistic and I can help you navigate things so you can be best prepared for your holiday.However, whatever you are interested in, big or small, I can help as I have a team of experts around me to draw on. I will listen to what you want and then create an itinerary that is perfect for you. I think the personal touch is really important and if you are local then I’m more than happy to meet you in your home or your office - or even a nice coffee shop. As I’m not in the high street I am free to work around you.By booking with Travel Counsellors you are getting access to a wider range of choice than you will with high street travel agents. You will also be dealing with me rather than a call centre. I will take all of the stress and strain out of the holiday from searching for amazing excursions to checking you in at your resort. We have people on the ground at resorts all over the world who will be there to help you 24/7: they are locals who really understand the destination. Should something go wrong you can be assured that our 24/7 team based in Manchester will sort you out if you can’t get hold of me.We are ATOL affiliated and have the best financial protection in the industry – during the pandemic every Travel Counsellor customer received a 100% refund. No vouchers here!I look forward to helping you create your next set of memories and fulfilling your travel dreams.

Hi I'm Jenny and I've had a love of travel since my first time abroad age 13, when I was lucky enough to explore Tunisia.I grew up in northwest London but have since lived in Bristol, Kiev, Paris, and Hamburg before settling in Wiltshire.My career in travel began at 17 years old and I became a homeworking travel expert in 2009. I have over 30 years experience as a personal travel advisor and can organise any type of holiday experience tailored to your exact specifications.Discovering new places and different cultures still excites me and I am very fortunate to have visited most of the world, I would never adventure without my kindle and my travel wish list includes sharing breakfast with one of my favourite animals at Giraffe Manor, Nairobi.I genuinely care about every client's booking from start to finish, advising them to embrace the pace of the destination they're in, so they can fully relax and enjoy their time away. After so many years in travel, I believe that I can book any type of holiday but I do enjoy a challenge so please feel free to put me to the test.....

With your documents held securely and live flight updates, you won't want to leave home without it.How does booking with me work? After an initial phone call to get to know your holiday likes and dislikes , I will typically send you a link to the MyTC app. I’ll then go away and work on creating your perfect holiday, these options will be loaded onto the app for you to view. From there, I will follow up with you to go over any questions or concerns you have. Once the deposit is paid, you can then sit back, relax and countdown to your holiday. The only thing for you to worry about is what to pack and getting to the airport. Everything else is left to me. I can help with all types of travel, from your annual family holiday to a romantic escape, from a UK retreat to just flight only. With a wealth of suppliers at my fingertips, I know I can find the right holiday for you.

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.

Over the years, I have planned and delivered unforgettable trips and personally looked after many guests in resort, experiencing first-hand how much of a difference genuine care and attention can make. Not every travel company offers that level of personal service but I always have, and always will. This is my own business, built on relationships, trust, and a genuine commitment to making travel feel effortless and special.Every Journey Tells a StoryOver the years, I have been fortunate to explore a wide range of destinations from city breaks and ski holidays to Disney adventures, cruises, and long-haul journeys including the Far East, Kenya, Egypt, and the Caribbean. I enjoy working with people who want their travel to be thoughtfully planned. I would expect no less for my own trips, so whether it is a short escape or something more complex and tailor-made, I will make sure it is well organised, personal, and stress-free.Home in Austria, Heart in YorkshireI am originally from Doncaster, but I have lived in the Austrian Tirol for the past 17 years. Although I am based in Austria most of the time, my roots are firmly in Doncaster , Tickhill to be precise, where I lived for over 15 years. We still have close family ties there and visit often, which is why my new business is proudly based in Tickhill. Wherever I am Austria, or the UK you will always receive the same personal, one-to-one service.The Way I Work – We chat. I plan. You travel.Whether it is a dream itinerary, a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, or a short break filled with thoughtful touches, I am here to make the process feel simple, enjoyable, and completely tailored to you.

Welcome everyone. I’m Deborah and I live in South Northants close to Milton Keynes along with my husband Steve and son Sebastian.My interest in travel was sparked at the age of 12 by a school project about ancient Egypt. I was fascinated and promised myself that I would one day see this mysterious place for myself and that I would definitely have a career in travel. I have done both and have had the most amazing time working in the travel retail sector as a travel consultant and a store manager and I have won various awards both individually and as part of the teams I have been fortunate to work with over the years. Consequently I have had 40 years of holidays and work trips (all in the line of duty) and therefore have a wealth of knowledge of this wonderful world which I love to share with my customers.I have enjoyed everywhere I have visited but my favourite is Italy so much so that we have bought a little renovation project down in Puglia. Otherwise I have such special memories of family holidays to Disney, Lapland, beautiful beach breaks across most of Europe, exciting city breaks around the world, Caribbean treats, relaxing and indulgent cruises, and tailor made trips to Canada, the Far East, USA, Brazil, New Zealand and Australia. I look forward to hearing about your experiences and helping you plan your next adventure. I will work tirelessly to find the perfect holiday and look for ways to make it extra special. I will be honest and offer unbiased advice and above all I will never underestimate the size of your emotional and financial investment. I will support you throughout.So whether you are looking for a UK break, a tailor made worldwide itinerary, a city break, a relaxing week on the beach, a river or ocean cruise I would love to help you. I am available when and how it suits you. We all have different life schedules and I can work around yours.Please feel free to contact me by phone or email. The details are below. We already have our passion for travel in common so I know this will be fun.

I love “painting a picture” of some of my many breath taking memories with you… from witnessing a water buffalo give birth in the Masai Mara, to the stunning Colours of Malaysia parade in Kuala Lumpur, cycling over the majestic Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco to the first sighting of The Pyramids or Abu Simbel in Egypt, to more recently the first glimpse of the mystical Treasury at Petra in Jordan another 7 wonders of the world I was able to tick off my list! Imagine being no more than 2 feet away from a pride of lions, including 5 frolicking cubs, at Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania as we quietly watched from the safety of our vehicle or a kill in South Africa? The list is endless and YES… I can take you there. You want to know the person you are booking your travel with, has all the right tools at their fingertips to act swiftly for their clients - yes that is me your personal Travel Counsellor !The travel industry has had some very challenging times and I have been there for my clients throughout their travel affected by the ash cloud, the pandemic, 9/11, the tsunami, tour operator and airline collapses, in fact I would not be a multi award winning travel expert if had not been there for my clients every step of the way – you should never be abandoned if something goes wrong. My portfolio of exceptional hand-picked hotels and villas throughout the world is vast, from quirky boutique hotels to well known family resorts, secluded hideaways to stunning villas- this is just the tip of the iceberg, as I work very closely with over 700 major tour operators and having my own in house tour operation too, enables me to craft the perfect trip for my discerning clients.So whatever you are looking for, even if you cannot see it on the website, it would be impossible to showcase the hundreds of daily offers from my trade partners, airlines, hotels, cruise lines, villas and resorts I have at my fingertips, I would still love to hear from you after all. I do love a challenge and the opportunity to make booking your holiday simple and of course always a pleasure.I have thousands of very loyal and satisfied clients, who have booked their travel arrangements with me for many, many years and love to recommend me to friends and colleagues which is the greatest accolade I can receive, as I continue my great working relationship with all my clients both old and new.

I love to personally communicate with my clients on a friendly, unbiased one to one basis and most importantly listen to what you are wanting and ask the right questions !I look forward to speaking to you soon...

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.

I have also been on most cruise ships. Hello, my name is Michelle Leonard as you can see I really do love travel. I have travelled extensively and can confidently pass on my knowledge to help fulfil your holiday dreams. In 2022 I travelled to Majorca , Morocco , Cyprus to participate in a beautiful Wedding, Malaga City , Chania ( Crete ) Canada visiting Toronto Niagara Falls , Quebec , Montreal and Ottawa and was also very lucky to sail on Regent Seven Seas Voyager with a stay in Rome - what a great year catching up on amended and cancelled trips from the last few years. My favourite place has to be Mauritius - my idea of heaven. Beautiful hotels, beaches, service and standards all in all perfect and a very special destination. I have also been on many cruises both European and in the Caribbean, through the Panama Canal which was a truly amazing experience which I will remember forever. Antigua and Grenada came very close to Mauritius both amazing special destinations. I also love Florida I have been around 15 times so know it very well, I could talk to you about Florida for hours! I became a Personal Travel Counsellor because quite simply I take pride in offering the highest level of personalised customer service to my many clients. I love my job which I think is what has helped me build such a successful business as a Personal Travel Counsellor over the last 20 years. I am proud to be a Travel Counsellor, we offer a great service and huge commitment to our customers and now as a company have a 24 hour duty office so there is always someone there for you as well as myself.I have worked in the travel industry for 39 years now, originally working for two multiples on the high street where I progressed to management levels prior to starting a family. I chose to join Travel Counsellors 20 years ago because they care about their customers, working with state of the art technology and offer fantastic head office support to assist me in my role. I have a huge client base now and most of my customers have become personal friends. They help me by passing my details to their colleagues, friends and family which now means I am busy most of the year and as my children are now 28 and 27 years old and need less attention I have more time though our Grandchildren aged 11 , 4 and 1 do keep me busy. I do love the fact that I can work much more flexible hours to suit my customers' needs as they can contact me at any time of the day or night whichever suits them best whether that be a weekend or an evening.I aim to give the highest possible customer service and to ensure that every travel arrangement meets and better still, exceeds your expectations. Allow me to turn your dream holiday into reality. I really will look after you. The industry changes constantly but a key aspect now in travel is that you are looked after if you need us whilst overseas ....I feel this has brought many clients back to me over the years as there is nothing worse than something going wrong whilst you are away and you have no one to discuss it with, all my clients have my personal mobile number as I do theirs to keep an eye on them whilst they are away.I very much look forward to speaking to you , please feel free to give me a call.

Hi… I’m Wayne and I have been in the travel industry now for over 40 years. The last 30 years, I have been selling cruises… a great passion of mine from when I was a young boy. I have cruised and travelled extensively as you’ll see. I am married to Pam and we have two gorgeous daughters, both married to wonderful boys… four adorable grandsons, two courtesy of each daughter, and a beautiful granddaughter too. Nearly forgot.. we have a cheeky little dog as well.I have seen so many places on my cruise travels and many who know me have caught the bug too. Some of the more memorable trips have been a QE2 Transatlantic crossing, Fred Olsen’s Black Watch Amazon, Silversea’s Silver Cloud Red Sea, Crystal Serenity’s Caribbean, Regent Navigator’s New York and Bermuda, Holland America’s Maasdam Panama Canal, APT ‘s AmaBella Danube… and numerous other trips to the Baltic, Fjords, Spitsbergen, Mediterranean, South Africa, Far East and more.I live in Manchester and have worked from home for many years now. You cannot cruise and travel as much as I do without building up an extensive and varied knowledge base of all the sights, sites (yes, a little bit of a tongue twister), and places I’ve visited on my travels. I get excited at the thought of sharing my first-hand knowledge and experiences with people I talk to. I am no “tick box” traveller. To me, every single trip is full of the memories we create from them.I have to confess that my evenings out with friends invariably end up in us talking travel and I love hearing as much about their experiences as they do about mine. What free time I have I love being with family, reading, listening to relaxing music or walking our dog. Cruising remains my passion, as you will realise when you speak to me. If it’s cruising, cruises, cruise ships, cruise destinations…. in fact, just about anything cruise related, then get in touch with me.My many clients trust my no-nonsense, professional and “say what I do, do what I say” approach. You’ll be in good hands with your cruise and travel arrangements being handled by me personally.

After being out of the travel industry for a while, it is a pleasure to be back in the industry I started in and fell in love with, especially as an Independent Travel Counsellor.I studied travel & tourism at the Bournemouth & Poole college, where a achieved a Diploma. After leaving college I worked for an independent travel agent in my home town of Swansea, gaining 10 years’ experience. Over my time working as a travel agent I was fortunate to see some fantastic places like the Canneries, Balearics, Greece, France, Finland, Germany to name a few but my favourites being the Maldives, Sri Lanka and Seychelles.Although I have been out of the travel industry, the passion has never left me. My wife and I love going on city breaks, our favourites are New York and Reykjavik and for our summer holidays we love going to our family home on the Costa Blanca in Spain. We either fly out or we take the ferry and drive stopping off in places on the way down through France and Spain taking different routes each time.Being a Travel Counsellor gives me the flexibility to book your perfect holiday and give you the personal experience you won’t find with an online provider with full financial backing. Whatever your requirements weather it’ll be a London hotel or a Round the World trip I can organise it all, even visa’s and transfers.Other than travel I love my rugby, I have organised group bookings to the 6 nations games. I also booked my own tailor made trip to New Zealand for the 2011 rugby world cup and for the British & Irish Lions tour in 2017, I took my youngest son with me in 2017, he loved it.So stick a pin in a map, give me a call and see where I can take you. “I want to go to places I’ve never been before”
