It's Nice To Meet You
I’m Suzie and I am based in Wiltshire with my two teenagers and a run-away dog, Skittles. We arrived 4 years ago in the height of the pandemic after 18 years in South Africa, where I had built a career in film and events.
My experience in event management has naturally transitioned into the world of travel, where I bring my skills in organisation and attention to detail, to crafting unforgettable holiday experiences. I specialise in planning, booking, and ensuring a smooth and personalised journey for clients and families who trust in me to create their dream getaways. I have a lot of first hand knowledge of South African trips and excursions so please tap into this!
Prior to joining Travel Counsellors, I was a client of Travel Counsellors for over 10 years, working with wonderful agents who managed all of our business travel arrangements across several large scale events, seamlessly.
Give me a call or pop me an email if you would like to explore some travel options and we can start designing your next trip! Follow me on my social media to see updates and latest offers.

Tucked away on its own peaceful peninsula just outside Fethiye, Letoonia Club & Hotel has become one of my all-time favourite places for a truly relaxing family holiday. Every time we return, I’m reminded why this resort holds such a special place in my heart. Flying into Dalaman Airport couldn’t be easier, and with just a 50-minute transfer to the resort, you’re in holiday mode almost immediatel

We’re often led to believe that holidays need to be long to be worthwhile. Seven, ten, even fourteen days—or it doesn’t count, right? But I want to challenge that idea. Recently, my daughter and I took a three-night, all-inclusive trip to Kos, and I can honestly say it was one of the most relaxing and rewarding breaks we’ve had in a long time. We stayed at the beautiful Atlantica Beach Resort, a

I recently asked friends and family about their dream travel destination, and the top answer? Japan! And what better time to visit than April, when the iconic cherry blossoms (sakura) are in full bloom. Why is April so special? Cherry Blossoms: Parks and temples are transformed into pink wonderlands—think Kyoto’s Philosopher’s Path or Tokyo’s Ueno Park. Mild Weather: Comfortable temperatures (10

In our fast-paced world, holidays have become more than just a luxury—they’re a necessity for our well-being. Taking time to step away from the daily grind offers a chance to relax, reflect on life, and recharge yourself physically and mentally. Beyond the adventure and excitement of travel, it’s in those moments of stillness that we truly reconnect with ourselves. Recent trends highlight the gro

As someone passionate about sustainable travel, I’m constantly reminded of the importance of making thoughtful choices when it comes to where we stay. One destination that truly embodies responsible travel is Bawah Reserve, nestled in the breath-taking Anambas archipelago in Indonesia, just 75 minutes by seaplane from Singapore. It’s not just a resort—it’s a sanctuary, a place where pristine natur

With a career rooted in production and logistics, transitioning to a travel planning role with Travel Counsellors has felt like a natural evolution of my skills. Most recently, I had the privilege of managing ground transfers for the MTV Europe Music Awards (EMAs), a role where precision and coordination were essential to ensure presenters and artists could focus on their performances. Similarly,

In May, 6 of my school friends and me set off on a memorable trip to Northern Ireland. Our journey kicked off with a scenic coastal drive that showcased Northern Ireland’s rugged beauty. Heading towards the stunning Causeway Coastal Route, we meandered along winding roads that offered breath-taking views of the coastline. The blend of dramatic cliffs, rolling hills, and picturesque seascapes surpr

I use the term 'break' loosely. Read on. We flew into Geneva when good luck offered us two inset days and a weekend. 45 minutes later we were in the charming alpine town of Saint Gervais, home to my gorgeous cousin and his family. Known for its breath-taking scenery, excellent facilities, and warm atmosphere, the town immediately captured my heart as I arrived. Although I’m not a seasoned skier

In March, my partner and I took a five-day break to the Algarve, Portugal, hoping for some early spring sunshine. Unfortunately, the weather had other plans—it was cold and wet for most of the trip. But despite the less-than-ideal conditions, the Algarve still managed to charm me with its beauty and unique offerings. We stayed at the Wellness Cascade Hotel in Lagos, a stunning property with lovel
