And it does not stop there, I can also provide you with account management advice, management information on your business travel trends and spend and the unique Travel Counsellors travel app. When I am not working I love to travel myself and have visited over 50 countries during my adventures. Some of the highlights of my travels have been diving in the Maldives and the Seychelles, Skiing in Colorado, Safaris in Kenya and South Africa, trekking up to the spectacular Machu Picchu in Peru, visiting historical monuments in Tibet and seeing the amazing Terracotta Warriors in Xian China to name but a few. But I have also travelled extensively in Europe and the UK and as a business traveller I understand the complexities involved and what is important to you when you are travelling for business having done many business trips both long and short haul. My passion lies with travel and offering my customers the very best personal travel experience. So whatever your travel requirements, be it a tailor made far away holiday of a lifetime, a chill out week a bit closer to home, a city break, a business trip or a weekend away in the UK I can help you.

These include holidays in the UK, long haul holidays, bespoke tailor-made itineraries, luxury travel, flights, river cruises, small group tours, safaris, honeymoons and weddings abroad, cycling or walking holidays, corporate travel, ski & snowboard holidays, villas with private pools or birthday and wedding anniversary surprises. I love to travel so I can also offer first-hand advice on places to visit. I have been fortunate enough to travel all over the globe, including Australia, New Zealand, South America, India, USA, Canada, Singapore, Hong Kong, Sweden, Norway and Slovenia. I have also been skiing in Canada, Finland, France and Italy. As I love walking and the great outdoors, trips have taken me to the Italian Lakes, the Austrian Alps and Peru to walk the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. I have been lucky enough to see the Northern Lights in Lapland, swim with stingrays in the Caribbean, go on safari and sail transatlantic from New York to Southampton. I live and work from home near Oundle in rural Northamptonshire, but I have customers all over the UK.

    Katie May

    01205 220 034 Boston

    Hello, I’m Katie May – your trusted Travel Counsellor, based in the heart of Lincolnshire. Boston is home to me, my husband, our teenage son, a lively dog, and a muddy cob (horse, for anyone not in the know). Life here is full of energy and warmth – and that’s exactly what I bring to every holiday I create: a wholehearted commitment to helping you craft life-long memories.My passion for travel ignited as a solo adventurer in Australia during my first gap year after school. The travel bug truly took hold during a second gap year post-university, when I embarked on a round-the-world backpacking adventure with my then-boyfriend (now husband): we partied under full moon skies, lived on remote outback cattle stations, soared above the Grand Canyon, and woke to lions’ roars on safari under canvas.Since then, I’ve snorkelled in the crystal-clear waters of the Maldives, marvelled at the ancient majesty of Machu Picchu, and been immersed in the vibrant culture of India. These, and many more experiences have gifted me memories to last a lifetime and inspired my career helping others do the same. Years with a leading luxury tour operator allowed me to specialise in crafting journeys that truly mean more – from exhilarating ski adventures and sun-drenched Mediterranean escapes, to dreamy winter-sun retreats across the Indian Ocean, Middle East, and Caribbean. Yet, the Seychelles remains a personal favourite: a paradise where those once-in-a-lifetime moments seem effortless, thanks to icing-sugar sands and idyllic lagoons.As your Travel Counsellor, I’ll guide you towards a Better Journey at every step – whether you’re chasing bucket-list experiences, seeking total relaxation, craving cultural adventures, or longing for meaningful family time. I’ll help you build a holiday that sparks pure joy and creates life-long, joyful memories. My personal service and meticulous planning mean you can truly relax, knowing every detail is in safe hands.Because I’m a flexible homeworker balancing family (and muddy cob) life, I’m here whenever you need – daytime, evenings, or weekends. Let’s make your next holiday not just a trip, but the first chapter in a story of cherished new memories.Let’s start planning your Better Journey today. Get in touch, and let’s create life-long memories you’ll treasure forever.

    Hello, and welcome — I’m truly delighted you’re here.I’m Kirstie Timmins, your personal Travel Counsellor, and the person who turns “I’d love to go someday…” into “I can’t believe we’re actually doing this.” My passion is crafting beautifully personalised journeys for travellers who want more than a typical holiday — they want something thoughtful, effortless, and genuinely unforgettable.In a world full of search engines and generic “best deals,” I offer something different: a calm, considered, boutique service where your experience comes first. No endless scrolling. No overwhelm. No one-size-fits-all itineraries.We begin with a conversation — about what inspires you, the little luxuries you love, how you like to travel, and the moments that turn a trip into a treasured memory. From there, I design a bespoke itinerary shaped with intention, whether it’s a luxury cruise, a hidden-gem retreat, an immersive cultural journey, or something entirely unique to you. My service is warm, flexible, and deeply personal.Want to explore ideas over coffee? Prefer a relaxed chat at home or in your favourite local pub? Absolutely. And once your adventure begins, I’m always just a call away — whether you need reassurance, recommendations, or even directions to the airport (yes, really!).My clients don’t come to me simply to “book a holiday.” They come for peace of mind, for thoughtful detail, and for travel experiences crafted exclusively for them.If you’re dreaming of something extraordinary — something that feels elevated, meaningful, and entirely your own — I’d love to bring it to life. Shall we begin your next unforgettable escape?

    Hi, my name is Maria, I was born and bred in Somerset, and seem to have a strong West Country "Farmer" accent! so people tell me! I always knew since school I either wanted to a a Travel Agent or a Florist and lucky for me, I got a job in Travel at the aged of 16 and have never left the industry! From starting out working in Tour Operations putting together Tailor-made Bespoke Rugby Tours to continuing through the travel agencies on the high Street to now being a Business Owner for the last 20 years. Having my own business gives my the flexibility to work the hours that suit me and my clients and that can look like a Teams call, clients visiting my office in Midsomer Norton (by appointment) or me meeting them for coffee or a breakfast perhaps, or visiting them at home at a time that suits them. My working hours are very different each week but predominately I am in my Office itself 8.30-4.30 Mon-Fri however I work outside these hours to suit. I have been fortunate enough to have travelled to some pretty amazing places in the world and have been able to take my family too. Our Girls , whom are all grown up now and young adults, have seen the world from their early ages so travelling as a family, is something I completely understand and can relate too. As the girls are grown up, My husband and I are now starting to holiday as a couple again and for one it is a lot Cheaper! The one thing I enjoy the most about having a Travel Business, is I get to see many years of a client and watch them grow. I have the Privilege to deal with couples. Solo travellers, and families throughout many years of their lives and go through the changes that life brings, such as an Honeymoon, maybe a wedding abroad, the 1st time travelling with a child/children on a family holiday, or going solo for the 1st time and also later in life taking their grandchildren away and dealing with the whole family through generations. This is what I love- building the relationships and adapting to the needs and desires of the clients at that time in their lives. I must tell you, where I've travelled (but I cant tell your a favourite as there are so many destinations that have captured my heart over the years) However Cyprus is where we got married and that will remain a special place, Morocco is the new favourite, however Croatia is also a favourite too! I love a city breaks and loved Dublin, Krakow, Barcelona and my favourite is Amsterdam!When it comes to further a field, Turks and Caicos' has the most beautiful beach I have ever seen, St Lucia, is the most stunning Island and Thailand was full of the most beautiful Culture and the Elephants were just one of those experiences I will never forget and not forgetting the glorious adventures we had in Canada too! A little about what I do in my personal life- I love watching Women's and Men's Rugby, I am a Bath supporter! I love watching F1 and have been to a few races in my time. I love cooking and a bit of gardening, Most of all, I love food and travelling and for me the two go hand in hand! If you would like to experience any of these wonderful places or experiences in the world and beyond.. do get in touch as I would love to help.

    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!

    Hello, I’m Jo, your personal Travel Counsellor based in Manchester.Travel has been at the heart of my life and career since I left school and joined an independent travel agency. It was there that I discovered my passion for designing thoughtful, exciting itineraries and helping clients experience the very best of the world.Over the last 18 years, I have worked across many sides of the travel industry, from front-line retail to tour operations. As a VIP Department Team Leader, I specialised in France, Ireland, Disney, and European and worldwide city breaks, as well as supporting clients through our Duty Office with any in-resort issues.

Vienna and Budapest are two of my favourite cities, and I also love Paris, Amsterdam and Stockholm for their culture, food and atmosphere. Further afield, I fell in love with the dramatic beauty of the French Alps and the breathtaking landscapes of Canada, including Niagara Falls, Banff, Lake Louise and the vibrant city of Toronto. Closer to home, I have explored both Northern and Southern Ireland, discovering charming towns, coastal drives and warm hospitality.At home, I live in Manchester with my partner, who has worked in the travel industry for over 35 years, my rugby-mad 17-year-old son, and our three rescue cats: Ophelia, Bear and our newest addition, little Florence. Family life means I understand how precious your time and holidays are, whether you are planning a special celebration, a much-needed family break, or a quick escape to recharge.With access to our industry-leading Travel Counsellors technology and a huge choice of flights, accommodation, excursions and transport options, I can build completely bespoke, tailored-for-you itineraries that reflect your specific needs and travel style.

    My experiences began early. My Dad started his own travel business in the 1970s and I've been absorbed by the subject ever since. I went down another road for a while – a degree in accountancy, a Masters in IT – but the family business was way more interesting. I've never looked back. Travel has so many benefits. I'm proof of that, and have been lucky to see so many countries, cultures, resorts and… experiences. After more than twenty years in the industry, I've been running my own business since 2015.

Suffice to say, my most memorable trip has to be South Georgia and Antarctica, for the sheer remoteness and untouched beauty, as well as the opportunity to get close to the wildlife. Closer to home, I’ve visited the USA and Canada many times and love exploring the open road on a fly drive trip, taking in as many National Parks as possible. I also frequently visit Asia, often en-route to Australia, and enjoyed experiencing the different cultures in Myanmar and Thailand; and a fly drive in South Africa left me wanting to see more of this vast country. As I said, impossible to pick just one place.Please get in touch, I’d love to hear from you.

    I’m Em, I’m based in the beautiful South West of England, but I work with clients all over the UK. Booking a holiday can be exhausting: firstly you have the destination – with so much of the world out there to choose from and so many places more accessible now than ever before, just deciding where to go can be a headache! And once you know where you want to travel to, you have to manage everything else - the flights, the accommodation, the activities, the transfers – all whilst working to budget and often whilst trying to ensure that the needs of your entire party are met. In today’s environment where we are all time-poor and working harder than ever, a holiday is more important than ever before, and we all want to get every detail just right. This is where I come in. As a Travel Counsellor, I make it my business to make your holiday as stress free as possible. From the moment you make your initial enquiry, I will work closely with you to custom build a bespoke trip from start to finish. I can plan an itinerary that encompasses every single element, or you can simply use me for the basics – it’s completely your choice. Whether you’re looking for a girls trip, a couples getaway, a family holiday, a solo tour or the adventure of a lifetime, I will work with you at every stage of the process, paying close attention to your wishes, needs and budget and adding those extra touches that a traditional travel company won’t do. When you work with me I will do everything I can to make sure that your trip is something that you remember forever – all you have to do is pack a bag and a Passport!To contact me, you can use my contact details on this page. You can also message me through my socials or direct via Whatsapp.

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

By taking the time to get to know you, I will tailor every element of your trip so it matches your wishes, whether you are dreaming of a relaxing beach escape, an action packed adventure or a once in a lifetime celebration.I can help with:• Ski holidays • City breaks • Cruises • Summer sun escapes • Worldwide tailor made itineraries • UK stays and short breaks • Weddings, honeymoons and group holidaysAs an independent Travel Counsellor, I have access to an extensive range of travel options and trusted partners, which means I can find the right holiday for you, not a one size fits all package.Travel and exploration are my own greatest passions, and as well as arranging your individual holidays, I also host and organise escorted tours. These are perfect if you like the idea of travelling with a like minded group, with everything taken care of so you can simply enjoy the journey, whether you are travelling solo or with a partner. Previous tours have visited Iceland, Finland and India’s Golden Triangle, and I am currently planning our next adventure to Kerala in March 2026.I understand how busy life can be and that planning a holiday often happens around work, family and everyday commitments. That is why I am available outside traditional office hours during the week and at weekends, so we can chat at a time that suits you.Whether your plans are big or small, I would be delighted to help turn your next travel idea into reality. I look forward to hearing from you and helping you plan your next unforgettable escape.

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.

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...
