It's Nice To Meet You
Welcome. It's nice to meet you.
My name is Stacey, and I am your personal Travel Counsellor, based in Whitehaven on the beautiful West Coast of Cumbria. Travel has been a passion of mine ever since my early family trips to Tenerife in the 1990s, and that love has only grown over the years. From road trips across Europe in my van, to exploring the beaches and temples of Thailand and getting up close and personal with the animals in Costa Rica, I've embraced every opportunity to see the world. Whether it was the adrenaline rush of rollercoasters at Disney and Universal parks or the peaceful relaxation of Europe’s largest spa in Bucharest, each journey has deepened my appreciation for the diversity and beauty of our planet and its people.
I decided to set up my travel business to build on this passion and help encourage and support others to discover the world for themselves. Whether you're looking for adventure, relaxation, or something in between, I'm here to make sure your travel experience is seamless and unforgettable.
As part of a global community of travel experts here at Travel Counsellors, I offer you access to award-winning customer service, backed by 100% financial protection for every booking and demonstrated through a 5* rating on Trustpilot. I take pride in offering a level of care and attention to detail that makes each trip special. You, the customer, are at the heart of everything I do. I want to get to know you, understand your preferences, and tailor-make your perfect holiday just for you.
My support doesn’t end when your holiday begins. I’ll be with you every step of the way, from your initial enquiry to the moment you return home. If anything unexpected arises during your trip, you can rely on me to be just a phone call away, ready to assist.
Working from home, with no set office hours, I am available at times that suit you—whether that’s meeting for a coffee, visiting you at home, or chatting via phone or video call. Let me take the stress out of your holiday planning and leave the enjoyment to you!

I’ve spent the last week telling everyone at work who will listen to not hesitate in contacting Stacey for all holidays. I can’t over emphasise how easy and fun it was and how all my holiday organisation stress disappeared the moment I handed everything to Stacey. What we finished with is perfect for us as a couple and I can’t wait to plan more holidays in the future !

Stacey recently sorted my summer holiday when I didn’t have the time to do it myself. I was not an easy customer but Stacey dealt with my many requirements and changes so efficiently and quickly. I now have the most perfect holiday booked and all of the hassle and stress was taken away. After years of arranging my own flights and villas I’m completely converted now and will be back to Stacey for my next trip.
