Thanks for stopping by. I'm Jane, an independent personal travel consultant based in the market town of Brampton in north Cumbria, a short distance from Scotland, Northumberland, and the beautiful Lake District. I’ve lived here for 14 years with my husband Peter.30 +years as a travel professional in various sectors of the industry has given me the ideal background and experience to set up my own business as a personal travel concierge. I'm backed by the global success story that is Travel Counsellors. I save my clients time, I may save them money, but what I will give them is exactly what they want. I offer a personal, but professional bespoke service at a time to suit. I'm a memory maker; I do the work, and my clients get to make those special memories. I'm happy to work on personal and business travel arrangements. I don't have a sales background, I've never worked in a high street travel agent, but what I do have is passion and enthusiasm. Clients come back to me when they realise that I really care about their holidays, and I will do everything within my power to ensure they have the best time ever.Winter sports holidays, adventure and activity travel, luxury longhaul travel, cruising, family holidays, safari, city breaks, UK staycations. If travel matters to you, let me sort it for you. If you want someone to take all the stress from travel planning, and having someone to turn to when things go wrong, someone to give advice, then I'd be delighted to help. When I'm not creating amazing holidays for my lovely clients, I love being outdoors. My husband & I met on a hill, and we have continued our love for walking by completing all the Wainwrights in the Lake District, and have now walked many long distance trails. Our current long distance trail is the South West Coast Path, 5 stages completed, another long one stage of 180 miles to go!

Hi, my name is John and I am a Travel Counsellor based in Blyth on the beautiful Northumberland coast.Are you looking forward to a holiday but don’t want the stress of researching locations, hotels, and flights yourself? Worried about whether those online reviews are reliable or if you’ve missed something important in your itinerary? Do you dream of a trip tailored entirely to you, so you can simply relax and enjoy the experience?If so, you’ve come to the right place. My mission is to provide a completely personal service – from your very first enquiry right through to the moment you return home – so all you need to do is pack your bags and have the time of your life. I’ll take care of everything: researching and planning, securing the best arrangements, thinking through the little details that make a big difference, and being there whenever you need me.As a vegan myself, I understand how challenging it can be to travel with specific dietary requirements – especially when hotels or destinations aren’t set up for them. That’s why I can create holidays that take the stress out of finding suitable dining options, whether that’s securing vegan-friendly hotels, arranging restaurant recommendations, or building itineraries that celebrate plant-based cuisine.I also believe travel should have a positive impact, both on you and the world around you. I can help you choose options that support local communities, promote ethical wildlife experiences, and reduce environmental impact – so your holiday is not only memorable for you, but also meaningful for the people and places you visit.My own travel experiences span from childhood holidays in the UK to multi-destination adventures in South East Asia and beyond. I believe every holiday – whether big or small, hot or cold, adventurous or relaxing – should be special. By taking the time to talk with you at a time that suits you, I’ll design a trip that reflects what truly matters to you, filled with the kind of moments you’ll look back on fondly for years to come.Alongside my personal expertise, I have access to a global network of fellow Travel Counsellors and local specialists, so wherever you want to go, I can handcraft a quote packed with hidden gems and authentic experiences. You’ll also have the reassurance of 24/7 support from both myself and our Duty Office, plus complete financial protection through ATOL and the unique Travel Counsellors Trust Fund.So, whether you already have a destination in mind or are looking for inspiration, the first step to your most memorable, worry-free holiday is just a phone call away.Your perfect holiday, designed around you – your tastes, your values, and your way of travelling.

Nestled on Cornwall’s rugged north coast, I share life’s adventures with my husband, a pilot whose routes often take him to the serene Isles of Scilly and the Channel Islands, and our two children. Our surroundings are a constant reminder of the beauty that’s waiting to be discovered – both close to home and far beyond.My love of travel began young, thanks to my parents’ spirit of adventure. Our family’s round-the-world journey spanned the Far East, Australia, America, and an unforgettable month exploring New Zealand by campervan in the depths of winter. From that moment on travel became a lifelong passion and I have seized every opportunity to explore the world ever since.With over 25 years of experience in the travel industry, I’ve had the privilege of turning my passion for exploration into a lifelong career. My journey has taken me to extraordinary corners of the globe, from months spent immersing myself in the vibrant cultures of India and Nepal, to countless adventures across Australia and New Zealand. One of my most cherished memories is returning to Mauritius for my honeymoon, where I discovered the exhilarating joy of kitesurfing on the sparkling waters of the Indian Ocean. Travel is more than my profession, it’s my way of life, and I am dedicated to curating unforgettable journeys for each and every client.Before joining Travel Counsellors, I specialised in crafting tailor-made holidays for clients heading to Australia, New Zealand, and the South Pacific, developing a deep expertise that earned me accreditation as both a ‘100% Pure New Zealand Specialist’ and an ‘Aussie Specialist’.

Welcome to my webpage. My name is Neil Farr and I joined Travel Counsellors in 2017. I am based in the idyllic location of Ventnor on the Isle of Wight where I have lived since 2005 and enjoyed booking holidays for a vast array of people from the Island and throughout the UK. I have had the amazing fortune to have worked in travel for nearly 31 years this March, where my knowledge and experiences have been achieved in previous roles covering high street agency, call centres, brochure production, joint venture marketing campaigns, contracting and account management for UK and overseas. During my time, I have benefitted from visiting many countries including, Australia, Bermuda, Botswana, Cambodia, Canada, Hong Kong, Jamaica, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, North America, Singapore, South Africa, Zambia, Zimbabwe and a multitude of European destinations nearer to home.Some of my best experiences include a game drive in South Africa to view the big 5 (buffalo, elephant, leopard, lion and rhino) or a flight by helicopter over the Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe. Another would be when I stayed overnight with The Long Neck Karen tribe near Chiang Rai in the north of Thailand, or jet-boating in Sydney harbour. All countries offer their own culture involvement, outstanding natural beauty, history and unique diversity. It is this that makes us want to travel, explore and learn. As your professional Travel Counsellor, I have access to award-winning technology and trusted quality suppliers. All of my clients are financially protected by the Travel Counsellors Financial Trust and ATOL. I am able to assist you with any personal travel arrangements you may have. These can be anything from arranging your memorable dream honeymoon, special anniversary and birthday occasions, summer/winter holidays, all-inclusive, short city breaks, package holidays, exotic island beach retreats, lakes and mountains, touring holidays, river and ocean cruises, to round the world itineraries.I adore travel and take great pride in going to extra lengths for my customers when booking with me in creating a tailor-made bespoke personal holiday itinerary that suits your travel desires. All at no extra cost.It makes me extremely proud to know that so many of my loyal customers (who are now also dear friends) make it their business to promote and recommend my services to their family, friends and associates.Feel free to call or email me with your holiday requirements where I would be delighted to help you.

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.

I am Jenni and travelling the globe in a creative and alternative way is my passion. I am here to introduce YOU to my way of experiencing the world and all it has to offer. From a young age, I was always fascinated by holidays and hotels. Lucky enough to have experienced many a hotel and holiday by the time I was making those oh so important life choices, I decided to follow my passion and study hospitality at one of the world’s leading hotel schools. This only served to fuel my passion for travel and top notch service and working at places such as The Gleneagles Hotel and The Four Seasons Hotel, London at Park Lane really opened my eyes to many different reasons that people travel. These experiences also helped hone my skills and aptitude for creating truly magical and memorable moments. Following an early career in the hospitality and travel sector, I realised that my passion for helping people plan their travels; from short breaks to lengthy adventures, knew no bounds and that is when my travel business was born.

Hello and welcome!My name is Jan and I am here to help, advise and assist you in making your travel arrangements as perfect as possible. I have spent many years travelling and living abroad but am now enjoying a quiet life in the countryside. Actually, living with 2 dogs, 2 cats, 3 chickens and in a full renovation project means it is not quite as quiet as I would like it to be, but I am working towards it being so one day!I was in my late teens when I first went to work abroad in Germany and was immediately bitten by the bug of all things foreign. Everything intrigued me, from learning the language, appreciating a different culture, enjoying new culinary experiences and especially the pure adventure of it all. My first big trip was to the USA where I hitch hiked through a dozen states, which brought a wealth of weird and wonderful experiences. I then went on to finance my travels by working ski seasons and travelling a different continent each summer. Hence it was a natural progression for me to go onto work in travel and combine my experience and passion and I have now amassed over 30 years in the industry, mostly working as a travel consultant. During this time I have gained a wealth of knowledge about airlines, countries, different routes, specialist lodges, unique boutique accommodations and quality hotels. I take great pride in taking the time to find the ones you will enjoy most. I am a worldwide consultant but specialise in booking business class flights, quality hotels and designing bespoke itineraries – no two are ever the same! I believe that booking a holiday is a very personal experience and only by getting to know people, their tastes and interests that you can truly create the ideal itinerary for them. I think that the whole booking experience should be an enjoyable process from the first conversation to the unpacking of the suitcase. Working as a travel counsellor allows me to be completely flexible and independent in the way I work and thus being able to offer a customised, nothing is too much trouble, expert service to my clients. So if this sounds of interest or you would just like to have a chat or call for some advice then please don’t hesitate to get in touch.Happy travels, Jan

Look at the web page of any Travel Counsellor and you will see we all sing the same song, we are all passionate about travel.The passion comes from discovery of a new exciting destination or the revisiting of places familiar.The fun begins when the decision is made about the latest holiday choice for yourself or a joint adventure to look forward to with friends or loved ones. I just love helping people towards that moment when the deposit is paid and the ticking off of the calendar can begin.My fascination with travel began when I was very young as my father worked abroad for long periods in the late 50s and 60s when it took a week to get to South America! Where most people see hustle and bustle at an airport, I see everyone either at the start or the end of an adventure.For me, guest experience is paramount. The nicest part is getting to know my clients so I can help them find the perfect bespoke holiday experience. I have travelled and lived for five years in Australia, travelled and lived for 16 years in Spain, visited USA, Indonesia, Greece and the Islands, Italy, France and the Baltics. Before joining the Travel Counsellors team I worked as a cruise specialist for 4 wonderful years for one of the most award winning cruise companies in the world. If you have never tried a cruise holiday before, you could be in for a treat! Travel Counsellors are the only travel agency to be awarded the Queens Award for Enterprise and have been voted “Best Travel Agency “by readers of The Guardian and The Observer newspapers , 4 out of the last 5 years.Your money is 100% safe and is financially protected by ATOL and the unique Travel Counsellors Trust, giving you total peace of mind. No other Travel Agency offers you this level of protection.I am available 24/7 to assist you with any holiday/travel booking, advice or just a friendly chat...

Hello,Please let me introduce myself - my name is Andrea Dalton and welcome to my webpage. I have worked in the travel industry for over 37 years, working in Leeds with several different agencies from office junior up to branch manager. After moving to Cricieth in North Wales in 2007 I decided to join Travel Counsellors which is one of the best decisions I have ever made. As a mother of two with a full time career, I know how difficult it is to find time to plan the weekly shop, never mind the annual holiday. Our time is valuable and though the internet offers a quick fix for purchasing so many products these days, most of us still need good honest advice and a personal service when shopping for our annual holiday.I pride myself in offering a bespoke travel service, speaking with my clients from the very first contact until their return home. This is why they are happy to recommend my services to their friends and family, which is how my business has gone from strength to strength.Who are Travel Counsellors? Put simply - great travel advisors. My customers are so important to me that they often become good friends too, please read my testimonials.My working day is flexible to fit in with you - so you don't have to worry at the end of your busy day if you'll manage to catch the local travel agents. Just lift the phone and call me or send an email anytime – day or evening, for a friendly and professional service which is hard to beat.Who wouldn't want great advice, fantastic service, financial security and value for money?

My name is Thea, originally from London, I moved to the South-West for university and decided to call this place home. I’ve since moved to the suburb of Keynsham but frequently visit both Bristol and Bath to see my clients. After graduating as a Neuroscientist, I decided that life in a laboratory simply wasn’t for me and decided to fuel my other passion in life – travel. As a graduate, I retrained in travel and tourism and haven’t looked back since. My role as a Travel Counsellor, as cheesy as it sounds, allows me to make dreams come true. From that iconic honeymoon to first family holiday, my job is to create incredible memories that will be remembered for years to come. The joy this gives me simply cannot be replaced by any other job. Being your Travel Counsellor means I am my own boss. I can work my own hours, do any special touches I desire and overall go above and beyond for my clients. This flexibility means I am there whenever you need me to be. Can’t speak until after work? Not a problem – I am not restricted to certain hours. Want to meet up in person? Perfect – let's meet in a coffee shop, house etc. My aim is to ensure that your experience is as personalised and perfect from the start of your enquiry all the way through to your return home. I often get asked what’s your favourite place in the world? The answer is everywhere! My personal experience is vast and everywhere in the world offers a unique experience in its own way. Most recently I’ve found myself exploring the depths of India, on safari in Africa, touring in Europe and sunbathing in the Caribbean. Chances are what you are planning I’ve either done it myself or are planning it in the near future. Whatever you are looking to do, don’t hesitate to get in contact no matter how big or small. I look forward to helping you plan your dream trip soon!

Hi there, I'm Anthony and I am based in the sunny city of Dundee in the east of Scotland. I have enjoyed travelling since the age of 7 when I first went to Switzerland with my family. I then was caught by the cruise bug a year later when I stepped on my first cruise ship and ever since I can't stop cruising. Cruising has been a huge passion of mine and have been lucky to have sailed on 54 cruises - so I like to think I have my sea legs. I have gained my Cruise Industry Management degree from Southampton Solent University in 2015 and have since worked in the cruise industry with Carnival UK, Celebrity Cruises and a range of other travel agencies too. I have travelled extensively and along with cruising my favourite destinations would have to be Japan, the US, Egypt and Europe. So much choice, culture and history and all fascinating and inspiring too. The say travel is one of the best ways to educate yourself - that is certainly something I very much agree with. Cruising is my passion and I believe that everyone should at least try cruising once - seeing new destinations each day, only have to unpack once and enjoy a wide range of facilities and activities in a safe environment whilst sailing the seven seas - that sounds idyllic. Recently joining Travel Counsellors allows me to give the personal touch when it comes to preparing your next holiday. I believe in excellent customer service and by adding that personal touch, it allows for a greater connection and trust. Booking with myself means your money is 100% financially protected - either through ATOL or by the Travel Counsellors Trust. So whether it's a short break away or a world cruise, why not drop me an email or give me a call and let me arrange your next holiday.

I am thrilled to have joined the travel industry. My passion from a very young age has been hotels and travelling. After studying a degree in Hospitality Management, I worked in luxury hotels for over 20 years, organising high end events.

This allows me to offer bespoke holidays, ensuring you experience the true culture of your destination and above all making it a personal journey. I am here for you throughout the entire process of your holiday, from the initial enquiry stage right through to getting your feedback at the end of your holiday. I have the flexibility to be talk to you when it suits you.My zest for travel has taken me on some amazing journeys, from backpacking half way around the world to luxury cruises. I have been lucky enough to explore the depths of South America, experience magnificent safari and soak up the sun on some of the best beaches in the world. I can book any type of holiday that you can dream of from weekend breaks, to honeymoons, to cruises and everything in-between.I am privileged to be part of a global network of over 1800 Travel Counsellors along with support from our head office staff. I am proud to say that we have a 96% Customer Satisfaction rate and we offer 100% financial protection to every booking. We have support on hand 24/7 to ensure that your journey is seamless.I believe that once we immerse ourselves in to the culture, the people, the landscape and the food, it transforms us and we carry those memories with us forever.

Meet Kirsty – Your Personal Travel SpecialistHi, I'm Kirsty, and travel isn’t just my career ...... it’s my lifelong passion.My love for exploring the world began at just 15 years old, the moment I stepped onto my first plane. That single journey sparked a curiosity and excitement that quickly turned into an obsession with discovering new places, cultures, and experiences. From that point on, my goal was clear: to experience as much of the world as possible and to help others do the same.Fast forward to today, and I bring over 18 years of travel industry experience, having explored more than 30 countries, and counting.

I believe travel should be immersive, personal, and unforgettable.I love discovering new cuisines, learning local traditions, and truly connecting with each place I visit. Whether it’s a hands-on cooking class, a guided day trip off the beaten path, wandering vibrant city streets, or unwinding on the beach with a cocktail in hand, I appreciate every side of travel.

Sharon Bennett, Travel Agent, Bushey, Hertfordshire.Hello, my name is Sharon and I would like to welcome you to my personal webpage. I am based in Bushey, Hertfordshire and have been helping my clients with their travel arrangements for almost 30 years.I joined Travel Counsellors as I wanted to concentrate on giving my customers the highest possible levels of personal service and independent travel advice. Working from home without the distractions of the high street I am able to offer you exceptional customer service, 7 DAYS A WEEK and at a time convenient to you, listening to your needs to ensure that I find you a holiday that meets and exceeds your expectations.To me travel is not a job, but a passion and having visited many places talking about them is a joy!Early in my travel career I booked a lovely retired couple on a round-the-world trip. The itinerary I designed was so interesting, amazing sights to visit, first class hotels throughout that it inspired me to want to do the same! The following year I embarked on a similar journey visiting Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, the Hawaiian Islands and America. I stayed in first class hotels and visited the places that up until that point I had only dreamt of. I returned home 11 months later with a ridiculously high credit card bill, but no regrets and I was now armed with a wealth of information, and amazing memories and stories that I would one day tell my children.I honeymooned in Barbados, spent my first wedding anniversary in Jamaica, and have travelled to many places around the Globe as a single, couple and with my children. I know the importance of keeping the whole family amused , the hotels must have excellent kids clubs and are either on, or very close to the beach with good food and first rate adult facilities so that I can unwind and enjoy too! My top 3 favourite Mediterranean destinations are Italy Portugal and Greece.My career has taken me through all of the avenues that make up the travel industry, which include Retail High Street travel agencies, tour operating, Business Travel and even teaching Travel and Tourism at various London colleges.As a Personal Travel Counsellor I can take this experience, together with the knowledge gained from the numerous countries in the world that I have visited, to offer a full comprehensive service for my clients both holidays and Business travellers.Working as part of a network of independent travel consultants, I am not tied to selling one particular company’s holiday. In fact I have access to over four hundred companies. There is a unique system in place which no other travel agency or tour operator has access to, which enables me to book flights, accommodation and transfers separately - more often that not far cheaper than tour operator packages. I am a far better Travel Agent than webpage writer, so, whether your needs are that Business trip to secure contracts and network, or that weekend away to recharge your batteries, a special holiday with family and friends, sun, city, ski, or cruise, give me a call and let me personally help you to turn your travel needs and dreams into reality.Thank you for taking the time to visit my web page and I look forward to hearing from you soon.Sharon

From Antigua to Zanzibar the world is your oyster - with my help you can find your pearl!Hi, my name is Sally, and I am an independent travel agent in Suffolk, with nearly 30 years' experience in travel (& I’ve been a Travel Counsellor since March 2002). My main specialities are luxury holidays, in particular but not limited to North America, South Africa, Australia & New Zealand, Indian Ocean, Caribbean, Italy, cruises, city breaks & honeymoons. I have first-hand experience of getting married abroad in the Seychelles - a destination that holds a very special place in my heart and which I have now visited 6 times. I have also visited Antigua 9 times (I just have to keep going back!). Italy is another of my happy places, and I have a good understanding of Italian.You may wonder why you should book with me and not through the internet? Well that's easy to answer:• I check holidays every day and, once I know a bit more about you and your preferences, I can quickly find the most suitable options for you. Internet "deals" are not always what they seem, as computers are just machines and only as good as your own input. I cannot always match or beat internet prices because the internet just doesn’t provide the same expertise, recommendations, advice, care and service that we do. However, I always strive to provide best VALUE. • I will do all the hard work and save you the time and hassle that comes with trying to DIY or deal with the “production line” in a shop or call centre, and I will give that personal human touch (which can be so rare these days) to your booking experience. • Travel Counsellors is independent so, unlike some high street and online agents, we are not tied to a limited number of tour operators or biased by incentives or in-house brands. I therefore always explore multiple options to find or tailor-make the right holiday at the right price, and always sell what is right for you rather than what is right for me. I can also tailor-make your holiday to make it totally “yours” by adding unique and special touches. • You will only ever need to deal with one person – me! (or a trusted like-minded colleague if I’m away on holiday myself) and you will get a prompt response without having to wait in a call-centre queue. I will personally look after your holiday with the same care and attention to detail that I would for my own, and am easily contactable at a time to suit you, even outside normal working hours no matter how simple or complex you feel your query is – from the initial enquiry right until after you return home. • Everything you book through me is fully financially protected, and should there be any unexpected issues while you’re away, your airline goes bust or is on strike, or another Ash cloud looms, you only need to call me or our 24 hour emergency Duty Office and things will be sorted for you - you will never be left to sort things out alone. You can therefore relax knowing that all you need to worry about is enjoying your holiday and making those special memories. • I’m well-travelled (to date I have visited over 50 countries), patient, and have a good sense of humour. Whether you fancy a short break in England, a world cruise – or anything in between, I am here to help with professional, impartial advice, often from first-hand experience, and although I work from home I have the support of over 1,500 colleagues worldwide to give extra advice, tips and recommendations where required.• My business (and reputation) is built on providing the highest possible levels of service and independent advice (and occasional friendly banter about football!), and I have customers all over the UK and Europe, so wherever you are based I can help you. So, if this sounds like the holiday booking experience you are looking for, don’t drown yourself in information & starve yourself of wisdom! I will be delighted to assist you, and I will go that extra mile, so that you can too.

I’m Karen and I’m an adopted northerner living in Sale, Manchester. I’m passionate about travel and love to share my experiences (and photos) and inspire others to do the same. The joke amongst my friends and family is that ‘I am always on holiday’ (if only that was true). I’m lucky to have travelled widely over the years and have been to over 50 countries. Favourite destinations include Brazil, Mexico, Japan, Australia, Italy and Spain with Cambodia having a special place in my heart as I lived there for several months whilst volunteering.Before becoming a Travel Counsellor I worked in marketing for 25 years, for big names such as Virgin and most recently for Marketing Manchester, the tourist board promoting the city region to the world. Now it’s the other way around and I hope I can promote the world to the lovely people of Manchester (btw you don't need to live in Manchester for me to be able to help you with your travel plans). I would love to hear about your holiday ideas and what’s important and of interest to you to then enable me to create a bespoke travel itinerary. This might be a beach holiday in Europe, a short city break, a long-haul once in a lifetime trip, off the beaten track somewhere, an all-inclusive cruise and not forgetting breaks in the UK too. Flexibility and availability are important – I am available on the phone, email or to meet in person and this can be outside of ‘normal business hours’ if that suits you better. You will get great personal service from me along with the 100% financial protection of Travel Counsellors. Please get in touch to see how I can help you to plan and book your next trip. Happy holidays!

My name is Emma and I am a friendly, dedicated Travel Counsellor based in South London. On completion of my university degree I decided to set off on an adventure and explore the world solo, before moving to London to begin my professional journey in travel. Fast forward 10 years and I’ve built myself a successful and fulfilling career in the travel industry. I am so grateful for the opportunities this line of work has given me, and that my expertise has enhanced other people’s travel experiences; It is incredible that I’ve been able to form a profession from what I love doing most in the world. My career thus far has had numerous highlights, including earning my spot on tons of incentive trips all over the world, and winning multiple performance based awards. Having worked in various roles, including management, I have gained insight into the process, product and customer service aspects of the industry. I definitely attribute my success to my underlying passion for travel and learning, but also my love of talking to people and forming relationships - many of my customers feel like friends and being sent holidays snaps from their trips never fails to make me smile.I’ve personally travelled to 47 countries across 6 continents (just Antarctica to get to!) and have specialised in Asia, North & Latin America, the Middle East and Africa, but feel confident that I can tailor the perfect trip in any destination worldwide. I have experience in booking a wide variety of customers, from corporate clients to backpackers, honeymooners to family holidays, and city breaks to long awaited trips of a lifetime. Speaking of corporate clients, I have numerous business accounts within the Media space, assisting with travel for TV and production purposes. I have experience in dealing with VIP/high profile individuals/Influencers and organising large groups; projects so far include Searching for Mexico with Eva Longoria, TOWIE’s season in the Caribbean, and multiple docuseries.As a Travel Counsellor I can’t wait to assist you in all your travel needs (flights, transfers, accommodations, cruises, tours, car hire) whatever they may be. I can be available outside of working hours so as to fit in with your schedules, and am also always happy to meet in person and holiday plan over a coffee (on me) if you’d prefer this to phone/email. I am so excited to hear from yourselves, your families and friends, and am looking forward to creating itineraries that will surpass your expectations and keep our working relationship going for years to come.

I’m Adam, your local Travel Counsellor and I love what I do which is creating and booking your perfect getaways. Whether it’s an all-inclusive family sun holiday, a solo adventure or anything in between I am here for you, your friends and family.My passion for travel started early when I backpacked through India and Sri Lanka, ending my adventure with a week in the Maldives.Since that journey eighteen years ago, I find solace in all travel whether it be dining barefoot on the sands of the Caribbean, wandering cobble lanes through historic European cities or the sensory overload as I take in the bustle of everyday life in the Far East.I feel very fortunate to have been to some incredible destinations so far and if I had to name just two stand out experiences, it would be India with Argentina & Brazil as a twin-centre holiday.I immersed myself into the backpacker way of life in India. Waking each morning with a loose plan of where I was heading, finding amazing eateries on side streets all whilst taking recommendations from people I meet along the way. I’m still mesmerised by the people, the history and culture of India. My first experience of South America was venturing from Buenos Aires to Rio De Janeiro via Iguazu Falls. One word sums up my experience, WOW! From the outstanding natural beauty of Argentina to the colourful festivities of Carnival in Rio, this is a trip I’ll never forget.I know just how important seamless planning, booking and travelling abroad is. I also understand the travel landscape changes and using a trusted travel agent makes all the difference. This is where I help, from our initial meeting the focus is all about you, your ideas and what will make your holiday perfect from the get-go. I can assist with hotels, car hire, flights, ski, cruise, fly & drive & island hopping. You name it, I will make it possible bringing your dream holiday to life. You can rest assured knowing whilst you are on holidays, I am only a phone call, email or text away, no matter the time of day or night. I am here for you.Your positive experience abroad makes being your Travel Counsellor the best job in the world. Please follow me on Facebook & Instagram where you’ll find travel inspiration, updates and news with amazing offers too good to be missed.I am excited to speak with you to bring your travel dreams alive.

With over 21 years experience of working front line sales for a leading travel company, I've decided to take my career to the next level. Working with global award winning Travel Counsellors has given me the opportunity to have my own franchise, setting my own high standards of both service and product, using my vast experience to deliver a high standard of industry expertise.For you, this will begin at enquiry stage, leading you through some of the options available, you can then settle on which of the tailor-made travel itineraries best suit you. I'll provide personal recommendations where required, all to deliver a service that exceeds your expectations, and travel experience that will leave you with un-forgettable memories.During my 19 years I've acquired some stand out travel experiences, most recently, taking in the stunning natural beauty of the Maldives with my wife, where I was able to fulfil a life long ambition of swimming with manta-ray. Spotting the Big five at South Africa's Shamwari Game reserve along with skydiving over Table Mountain in Cape town, marvelling at the patient craftmanship of the Taj Mahal followed by exploring the backwater's of Southern India to name a few highlights of my travels. Not wanting to keep the world to myself, I've also taken my wife and four children, aged between 8 and 18 to Barbados, Dubai, Thailand and across much of Europe, so I can certainly pre-empt the considerations you'd need to make when travelling with a family. A particularly memorable occasion has to be my shopping and show trip to New York with my two teenage girls, never a dull moment! To list all the places, and diverse cultural experiences I've had will take up half this page, but from the shows and nightlife of Vegas and New York to the Thai markets and Indian temples, I can bring much experience to your tentative enquiry. Over the last 5 years, I've also focused on corporate travel. The challenge of catering for the fast paced high demand is where I come into my own. Finding route and ticket solutions that you'd maybe not see possible with your own planning, I take the strain out of booking business travel, a little more of this is highlighted on my Business travel page via the link.

I specialise in getting to know and understanding exactly what my clients want, so I can then provide a great and memorable holiday experience. Many of my clients have returned year after year, trusting me to craft their perfect holiday. Some want to relax and take time out to recharge, whilst others want to push their limits and seek out that next challenge or bucket list adventure, and anything else in between.I've been passionate about travel since the age of 17, when I first stepped into the world of tourism, discovering a love for helping others plan their dream getaways. This early passion grew into a career that has spanned over fifteen years, during which I managed and worked for various high street travel agencies with multi-million-pound turnovers. My own travel experiences have greatly enriched my understanding of what makes a trip truly special. I’ve explored everything from the pristine beaches of the Caribbean to the lush landscapes of Hawaii. Now, I’m preparing for an adventure of a lifetime – climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, followed by a safari through the stunning landscapes of Tanzania, Africa. This journey is just the latest in a long line of adventures that have fuelled my love for discovering new places and cultures.Several years ago, I had the incredible opportunity to take a sabbatical and spend just under a year traveling with my husband and two children, visiting over 15 countries. We spent a month soaking in the rich culture and natural beauty of Sri Lanka before moving on to explore Southeast Asia, including Singapore, Cambodia ,Vietnam and Indonesia. After Australia, we then embarked on a three-month road trip across New Zealand in a camper van, which remains one of the most memorable experiences of my life. Our journey back home took us two months through the paradise islands of Fiji and then onto the vibrant streets of Japan in blossom season.With a wealth of personal travel experiences and professional expertise, I am passionate about sharing my knowledge and helping others embark on their own unique adventures. Whether you're dreaming of a luxury escape, planning a honeymoon or a special occasion , maybe a holiday on the slopes or a budget-friendly getaway, I'm here to take care of all aspects of your travel, from offering impartial advice & ideas to taking care of the whole booking process from start to finish. A huge benefit of me being your own personal travel counsellor, is that it allows me to offer you a personal bespoke service when it’s convenient for you, whether that be in the evenings or at the weekends, life is so busy ! But at the same time still having that 100% financial & ATOL protection from Travel Counsellors, giving you complete peace of mind.So if you are looking for a real person you can talk to who has the time to understand what you are looking for, taking away all the hassle and wasted hours trawling through frustrating websites & trying to get through to call centres, but still delivers with the guarantee of a trusted award winning company, then please contact me. I can advise on most areas including: • Europe (Cities, Beach, Mediterranean) • Skiing and Snowboarding (Europe, Canada, North America and Japan) • Middle East (Dubai & Oman especially) • Australia and New Zealand • Tailor made Itineraries • Adults only and Family Holidays • Group Bookings • Overseas Weddings and Honeymoons • USA and Hawaii • Adventure Trips • Worldwide Flight Tickets • Luxury bespoke Travel • Road Trips & Multi centre Holidays • Africa and safarisRemember with me its personal and nothing is too much trouble ,contact me by email or on the phone at a time that suits you.I really look forward to hearing from you,Take Care

My name is Nicola Rawlinson and I am an independent travel agent. I have been in the travel industry for over 20 years. I joined Travel Counsellors in 2004 and before that I was Manager at Travelworld in Guiseley.I joined Travel Counsellors as I wanted to concentrate on giving my customers the highest possible levels of personal service and independent travel advice without targets. Therefore I can now ensure that I can focus on booking the right holiday for my customers.I have travelled to many many places throughout the world. In addition I have participated in a number of training programmes. I hold a Dubai specialist qualification, along with many other certificates of achievement.My favourite destination would have to be the Caribbean with the powder white sands and crystal clear waters.As your own personal Travel Counsellor I can use our award winning technology and my personal expertise to tailor-make exactly the right holiday to suit your needs. Rather than selling you a standard tour operator package, I can quickly search through hundreds of different flight, accommodation and transfer alternatives to find something that suits your needs exactly. Quite often this means I can build you a bespoke holiday at a better price than the standard holiday package you might get elsewhere.I recognise that not everyone is free to discuss their travel arrangements during the working week, which is why working from home means you can contact me at times when most other travel agents are unavailable, including evenings and weekends. This has also proved invaluable in the very unlikely event that you have a problem whilst in resort.I can help you arrange any part of your travel arrangements - so whether it be a theatre break to London or a round the world cruise - I can help. As part of a large organisation I can also get you great deals on accommodation so if you need to know the best Paris hotels for a last minute holiday to France or the best Dubai hotels for a luxurious weekend in the sun please contact me. Of course I can help with any other travel arrangements you may have, including holiday car hire and holiday insurance. My business is based purely on providing my customers with the highest possible levels of personal service and I would be delighted to assist you with your holiday plans.I hope to hear from you soon.

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.

Hello and thank you for stopping by my page!I’m Anneliese and I’m based in Ifield, West Sussex – just a stone’s throw from Gatwick Airport. When I’m not planning holidays, I’m enjoying life at home with my husband. We regularly care for two much-loved dogs: a miniature dachshund called Dobby and Brandy, a black lab guide dog. We love getting outdoors together – exploring the beautiful West Sussex countryside or heading off on relaxing UK staycations.My professional background has mostly been spent working in aviation. I have over 13 years of experience working in the industry which I now bring to my role as a Travel Counsellor. Travel has always been a huge part of my life, and now I’m fortunate enough to help others plan unforgettable journeys of their own. You may be wondering what inspired me to leave aviation and become a Travel Counsellor? It’s simple – There’s something incredibly fulfilling about helping others turn their travel dreams into reality, whether it’s a once in a lifetime adventure or a well-earned break closer to home. Some personal highlights from my travel catalogue include the Caribbean. We have an ongoing love affair, and I have been lucky enough to visit 23 different islands and destinations in and bordering the Caribbean Sea. These experiences have given me in depth, first hand knowledge of both popular destinations and hidden gems. Whether you’re after a luxurious beach retreat, a family-friendly break, or something a little more off the beaten track, I’m here to create a holiday that suits you perfectly. My other passion is Disney. I can plan unforgettable Disney holidays – from magical park visits and stays at Disney Resorts to cruises with Disney Cruise Line. Whether you’re planning your very first Disney experience or returning for another dose of magic, I’ll sprinkle some pixie dust to help make it truly special. So why choose me to book your trip? I believe that travel should be exciting, personal, and stress-free. That’s why I take the time to really get to know you, so I can tailor every detail of your trip to suit your needs and preferences. From the initial ideas to the moment, you return home, I’ll be with you every step of the way. Wherever you’re dreaming of going next, I’d love to help you make it happen.

Welcome to my world of travel!I have been working in the travel industry longer than I care to share with you. However, it is quite simply the best industry to work in (even during challenging times!) and I enjoy every minute!

Watching the sun rise in Japan and the Dolomites was very special.Feel free to glance over my travel blogs - I am no journalist but I hope you find them interesting and they may even provide some inspiration for your next holiday!84% of my business comes from repeat clients who are also generous in their referrals.

My name is Georgina & I am from Hornchurch in Essex.I started exploring the world at a very young age, I was very fortunate to have great holidays with my parents. Since I can remember I have always loved the buzz of getting on the plane, waiting for the moment the plane doors open and the heat hits you in the face. Growing up I mainly went to Europe & as I got older was able to explore further afield. Leaving college with a Distinction in Travel & Tourism at the age of 18, I knew in my heart that working in travel was the one for me. I worked for various travel companies including Thomas Cook, US Airtours, Kuoni. When I was 21 I took a year out to work in Ibiza & go travelling which was amazing. I travelled to 33 European cities in 22 Countries and wow what a trip this was, Dubrovnik, Bosnia & Prague would have to be a few favourites of mine. Learning about the history & Countries along the way whilst having lots of fun exploring. I have been to many destinations around the globe whilst working in the Travel Industry Canada, Maldives, Caribbean, Thailand, Las Vegas, New York, Mykonos, Disneyland Paris & Florida …. Just to name a few. I have also experienced lots of different style holidays from Ski Trips, Tours, Tailormade, Island Hoping, Family, Adventure, Luxury …I started up being a Travel Counsellor once I had my little one, as wanted flexible hours to be around for her and still had the passion for Travel. I love what I do as I can use my knowledge and travel experience to create some unique trips for my clients. With me it truly is a personal experience. Quite often my clients leave reviews and something which always pops up is ‘Georgina knows how to take the stress away when booking a trip’ this is very important for me especially as I book a lot of honeymoons too. I look forward to hearing from you to book your amazing trip!

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

I've travelled alone from a young age, visiting a pen pal in France at age 14 and work experience in Germany at 17 years old. I then went away to University in Devon and also a semester in the USA. After University I went to the Philippines to work and travel. I've had some amazing experiences in Asia, USA, Africa, South America, Australia and Europe. I love to experience different cultures and meet the local people.I'm happiest when I am planning my next adventure or writing a list of what I need to do for my next trip. I love being outdoors and keeping fit. My husband and I have a campervan and I love our short trips exploring the beautiful countryside. I enjoy writing, especially travel blogs. The only thing I don't love about travel is leaving my lovely cats behind!Please do get in touch if you are thinking about your next holiday or adventure. I can't wait to hear from you!

Hi, I’m Fergus! I’ve worked in travel for over nine years, turning my lifelong love of exploring the world into a career that lets me help others plan truly unforgettable trips. Originally from Northern Ireland – which will always have my heart – I now help clients across the UK and beyond create holidays and travel experiences that fit them perfectly. I specialise in tailor-made holidays and diving adventures, with a particular passion for South East Asia – especially the Philippines, where I’ve explored some of the most stunning dive sites on the planet. I’ve also travelled extensively through Thailand, Mexico, Egypt, North America, and the Caribbean, so I’m always happy to share first-hand tips and recommendations. Alongside leisure travel, I also look after corporate clients, ensuring their business travel is smooth, efficient, and stress-free. From coordinating complex itineraries to managing last-minute changes, I pride myself on providing clear communication and fast, reliable solutions. My corporate clients often tell me they value my thoroughness, approachability, and the confidence that everything is handled professionally. As a few of my clients have kindly said, “Fergus always finds time to listen and respond efficiently,” “he makes the whole process smooth and clearly communicated,” and “he’s very knowledgeable and always able to provide a solution.” Those words mean the world to me because they capture exactly what I aim for with every booking – friendly, professional service with a personal touch. Whether you’re planning a luxury beach break, an adventurous dive trip, or managing business travel for your team, I’d love to help make your journey effortless from start to finish.
