Johanna Cumbers

It's Nice To Meet You

My name is Johanna and I’m obsessed with all things travel – spectacular views, exploring, culture, food and fantastic customer service. This obsession has taken me all round the globe to over 60 countries across 6 continents – from adventure holidays trekking in Africa, luxury long haul couple breaks in Asia to fabulous family holidays in Europe!

I have set up my own travel business with Travel Counsellors because I passionately believe in the personal touch and customer service when it comes to travel. I will tailor packages to you, looking after your specific needs and taking care of all your travel arrangements from start to finish. In fact, it’s my mission to have you love the process of booking the holiday, almost as much as the holiday itself!

After our initial chat, I’ll carefully research your trip and tailor it to you, I’ll take care of all your hotel and flight bookings, documentation and be your single point of contact to answer any questions, make any amendments or deal with any issues. From the perfect family holiday in Greece to a sunrise hot air balloon trip over the Serengeti, I’ll cater to all your travel needs, nothing is too much trouble.

My specialism is luxury travel, however I can book pretty much anything – from family holidays in Turkey to trekking in Thailand and everything in between.

Along with personal service, you’ll also be safe in the knowledge that Travel Counsellors is an award-winning company which are fully ATOL certified so you know your money will be fully protected. We also have access to the best suppliers and airlines in the industry to ensure that you always receive the highest levels of service.

I’m based in Shenfield, Essex and work from home. This flexibility means I can be available to you whenever suits you, day or evening, I am only a phone call or message away. Or if you are local, I can even come and meet you for a coffee! So get in touch by phone on 01277 790 056 or e-mail me at johanna.cumbers@travelcounsellors.com and let’s get planning!

Jo has been fantastic in helping us plan our trip. She has given much of her time to help us work out the best plan for our family, has patiently answered all my questions and made herself available at any time needed. Jo really has taken all the stress away from the planning of a big trip. I am very glad that I chose Jo to help us and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others.

Lisa Snowdon Cruises the Caribbean with Travel Counsellors

10 December 2023

Blog created by Lisa Snowdon - in her own words. Seems I’m a little late to the party when it comes to booking a holiday with a Travel Counsellor! Some of you are clearly smarter than me ??and have been using one for years! Well now I’m completely sold after connecting with my travel counsellor @alexb_travelguru! He booked the most incredible girls’ trip for my friend Zoe and me! Every little de

3 nights in Bangkok with 3 kids (Part One) - My Top 10 Tips

20 July 2023

Like many families who choose to travel to Asia on their holidays, we found ourselves flying into Bangkok as a gateway to Asia. But rather than fly straight onto our final destination, Koh Samui, we decided it was all part of the adventure to spend a few days exploring the city with our kids. I must admit, I was a little apprehensive, I have visited Bangkok many times over the years, but never w

Family Thailand Adventure - Dipping our toes cautiously into long haul travelling with 3 kids!

15 June 2023

It’s been a while since we have attempted a long haul trip further than Dubai. Years ago, my husband and I would think nothing about jumping on a 12 hour flight to far flung lands for a holiday, but since having our children the thought of looking after tired toddlers on long haul flights and dragging them on cultural tours in which they have no interest, was not overly appealing. The intervenin

5 nights in Puglia (with 10 adults and 11 kids!)

10 April 2023

I have a friend who spent a year in Italy as part of her degree course and she had always talked about Puglia so fondly, but if I am honest, I knew very little about this region of Italy before last year. It wasn’t until a night out over a few drinks that myself and four of my mummy friends plotted our summer family trip to Puglia. It was an ambitious plan as between our 5 families we make up a pa

Mykonos Beach Clubs

15 December 2022

Mykonos is an island I have visited many times in the past few years both with girlfriends for girlie weekends away and with my husband for a more romantic break. Mykonos caters brilliantly for both. It’s a place that is full of stunning vistas, amazing hotels and beautiful beach clubs. But be warned, all this comes at a price so be prepared to spend £££, but as far as I am concerned it’s worth e
