It's Nice To Meet You
Hello, I’m Sarah and I’m a Travel Counsellor based in Coulsdon, Surrey.
I have much personal travel experience to draw on when helping you plan your own adventures. My time spent travelling around South East Asia, Australia and South America after finishing university is the root of my passion for travel. This led me to start working in the travel industry in 2004. Before becoming a Travel Counsellor early in 2019, I gained 13 years experience as a travel consultant with a large independent travel agency. During that time I continued exploring the world, both independently and with organised group tours. I have visited diverse regions in the Americas, Asia, Africa, Europe and Oceania, enjoying spectacular scenery, culture and wildlife in over 60 countries.
I pride myself in offering fantastic customer service and will always do everything I can to personalise your perfect holiday or business trip, based on your requirements and making use of my personal travel experiences and the extensive knowledge gained whilst working in the travel industry. I can help you with a variety of styles of trip from a European city break to a once in a lifetime trip around the world, beach breaks to trekking, from adventure tours to cruises, safari to skiing. Whether it be a special occasion like your honeymoon or anniversary or even a wedding abroad, a big birthday, a retirement treat or you just need a holiday, I will be able to help with your plans. Get in touch to chat about your travel ideas and I will tailor unforgettable travels around your interests and wishes and turn them into reality.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sarah is now my go-to person for any holidays! She is responsive, efficient and always has great ideas. She really makes an effort to understand what you are looking for in terms of vibe and practicalities (I had some accessibility issues). She was even happy to help recently with a small request to arrange a minibus pick up from Eurostar in Paris; the company she found was excellent and extremely professional. Thank you!

Sarah listened carefully to my plan for a short trip to visit family in France and then offered a plan which I booked with Travel Counsellors. She thought of ways to reduce stress such as staying overnight at airport to be close for an early morning flight. She researched onwards transport and explained why one option was preferable.
She was also patient when I had pre journey nerves!

We are now home and enjoying the memories of a fantastic holiday in Thailand. Thank you so much for organising our trip which was so much fun.
The accommodation, transportation and trips all worked brilliantly for us - particular highlights were snorkelling, food tour and khao lak hotel. We appreciate your work to meet our family needs which took away the many, many hours we would have spent planning a trip, but without getting it so right.
The app was great to check what was next up!
We’ve told lots of friends about your excellent work so hope that will bring future business. We will certainly be in touch again regarding another trip at some point.

Sarah is incredible!! Nothing is too much trouble for her.
We recently got back from 3 weeks in South Africa and she arranged absolutely everything, from flights, to hotels, to say trips, to transfers.
We spoke to her a few months before, told her the dates we were free, our budget, and basically told her we had no idea where to go or what to do, we came up with South Africa together and she did the rest.
She has since booked us a week in Paris and organised everything. And has now just booked us time in South America.
She has answered all our questions and queries, no matter how small, and has never once made us feel like anything was a problem.
I cannot recommend her enough!

After an initial chat, she narrowed down to a range of options to meet our desired flight & transfer times, spacious accommodation, food & kids club needs. She was responsive to my queries and we spoke through the pros and cons of various options over the phone. Sarah’s insight on what’s essential when travelling with a little one, elderly parents and pandemic consideration was appreciated. Having visited various resorts/hotels including the chosen one erself, her recommendations offered further reassurance we’d selected the right holiday destination and hotel. Booking was straight forward via the MyTC portal which we could view quotes, make payments and view our confirmed arrangements. Sarah has taken the stress out of choosing the right holiday for us, I intend to reach out again when I’m ready to plan our next trip and I’ll be recommending to my friends to get in touch too - It’s certainly taken the pain out of holiday hunting!

I asked Sarah to find me a UK break, which was not too far for us to go and we would see the sea and get some fresh air! We needed our six year old daughter to have plenty to keep her busy. Sarah came up with some options really quickly and an email/phone call later the holiday was booked and paid for.

After the first lockdown my wife and I were keen to book a holiday to adventure across Vietnam. We spoke to Sarah with the idea of travelling to Vietnam in February ’21. My wife had been to Vietnam previously and had an idea of the holiday we wanted. Sarah came up with a great plan, together with my wife, that we were really excited about. As the months rolled by, the pandemic seemed to be sabotaging our trip at every turn, but Sarah didn’t give up. She kept finding solutions and rescheduling new flights and kept us updated with every new announcement and change to the plan. Ultimately, we had to wave the white flag on our holiday, but we decided to keep the deposit with Sarah ready for our next holiday. The customer experience for us was amazing and we are super excited that our next holiday will be taken care of by Sarah.

A Whistle-Stop Journey Through Sri Lanka
26 July 2025
I’ve just returned from my first trip to Sri Lanka, and what a whirlwind adventure it was! From serene manor houses and cultural wonders to hidden beaches and wildlife-filled national parks, every stop brought something new and unforgettable. Stop 1: A Gentle Start at The Wallawwa What a wonderful start to our trip around Sri Lanka. Just 20 minutes from the airport, The Wallawwa is often used as
A Thailand Adventure
20 May 2025
I have visited Thailand many time but this is the first time with a 7 year old in tow and she loved it! We had a great couple of (very sweaty days!) in Bangkok where we stayed in a lovely riverside hotel with a pool to escape to for downtime. Making use of the wonderfully air conditioned Sky Train and the Chao Praya Express Boat to get around, we visited the Grand Palace, where Esme really loved
Lapland - It’s not just for kids
12 December 2023
We were lucky enough to visit Lapland recently and it was a wonderful trip - a completely different holiday to anything else I’ve been on. There are some great activities (and we got to meet a certain person who gives out presents at Christmas time) but just being there is an amazing experience in itself. You’re up in the Arctic Circle so the sun never officially rises in winter - which isn’t to s
A little work whilst on holiday - a visit to Nido
15 September 2023
Whilst being back at fantastic family hotel MarBella Corfu this summer I popped next door to her beautiful adult only sister, Nido. So beautiful and peaceful, built on the hill like a village. All low rise, small blocks of spacious rooms. All sea facing with the choice of terrace, whirlpool or private pool. This property comes on bed & breakfast or half board basis (next door is All Inclusive),
Celebrity Cruises…. Not just for grown ups!
13 June 2023
Whilst Celebrity Cruises do not really push themselves as a family friendly cruise line, they are actually a great option for families wanting a bit of luxury but not needing all the bells, whistles, ice rinks and rock climbing of sister cruise line Royal Caribbean. Outside of school holidays you wouldn’t usually find many kids on board but we met plenty during our May half term break to the No
Our Corfu & Paxos Adventure
10 October 2022
We don’t normally go for all inclusive but Esme loves a kids club, so we opted for a couple of different hotels in Corfu with premium all inclusive offerings and found a lovely villa for our stay in Paxos in the middle of the trip. The all inclusive at Grecotel Daphnila Bay and MarBella Corfu are premium in that they include a la carte restaurants plus wine and spirit options rather than just the
Beaches and Sightseeing in Menorca
27 January 2022
We had a wonderful holiday to Menorca right at the end of their holiday season (hotels were starting close their doors for winter whilst we were there). Flying out 29th September, we weren’t looking for baking hot weather, but it was still warm enough to use the pool and go in the sea. Over the 12 days that we were there it did rain a few days but it had nearly always finished by 10am and the one
Exploring Disney Magic at Sea
28 October 2021
I know a number of families who were due to take a Disney Magic at Sea staycation cruise this summer but who ended up unable to travel because of the Covid protocols in place. So, after Esme and I were cleared for boarding with our negative lateral flow test results, I ended up having a little tear of relief as we entered the ship’s entrance lobby to be greeted by Captains Mickey and Minnie- handi
2 Contrasting Sides of Tenerife
20 March 2020
I am sure that most people that haven’t visited the island just think of Tenerife as a beach resort destination good for some winter sun, but this doesn’t have to be the case. Not being beach-sitters, when I planned to travel to Tenerife with my family in mid-February we booked a 2 centre holiday. We spent the first two nights in a beautiful resort hotel in Costa Adeje in the south. We didn’t rea
Exploring 3 Stunning Places in Croatia
28 October 2019
After leaving a wet and windy Gatwick it was only a two and a half hour flight to Split where the sun was shining and the skies and Adriatic Sea were both a beautiful blue. The Old Town of Split is mainly within what was the Roman Emperor Diocletian's Palace and makes for a wonderful place to explore the narrow lanes, with the odd little square popping up on your wanderings. With plenty of resta
Royal Caribbean's Independence of the Seas
27 August 2019
I recently had the opportunity to spend the day on board Royal Caribbean's Independence of the Seas. It is a fantastic ship for families, with the Perfect Storm waterslides, Flowrider (for surfing!), climbing wall, SkyPad (bungee trampolines with virtual reality headsets!?), mini golf and fantastic kids clubs for different age groups. Plus, there is a choice of pools and the Splashaway Bay splash
Tips for Travelling with a Baby - Have Baby, Still Travel!
09 July 2019
Many people do not travel with their young baby as they think that it will be too hard or too stressful. It is actually easier when they are quite small, as once they are on the move it is so much harder to keep them entertained on a journey. Other parents think it isn’t worth taking them away as they won’t remember it – this is about you getting away as well and even if they don’t remember the
My Lake District Weather Jinx May be Broken!
06 July 2019
We visit the Lake District regularly when we go to Penrith to see Esme’s grandparents but whenever I have been it has rained – often quite a lot! Planning a two week trip there felt quite a risk but we were lucky. We split the trip in half, spending the first week in the southwest corner of the Lake District. As this is the furthest point from Penrith we thought it was where we would be most unli
Have Baby, Still Travel
22 March 2019
I was determined to carry on travelling once we had a baby to take with us and I am sure that if people had known our plans for her first year many of them would have thought we were crazy. Most of the plans were made before she was even born! First flight, Aberdeen. You would think it would be the flight that would be hard but getting from Streatham to Heathrow by public transport on my own wit
