I am an independent travel consultant working with award winning Travel Counsellors, based on the north coast of Cornwall.

Having had a keen interest in travel from a young age, this has grown into a career spanning over 30 years in various sectors of the industry, most notably luxury self catering accommodation and hotels to specialist tour operation - where I spent 10 years curating long haul itineraries for both individuals and groups to South and Central America.

I love being a travel counsellor as it means I can take the time to really understand exactly what you want from your next holiday, whether it may be in the UK or long-haul. I’ll get to work using my expertise, combined with the latest industry technology to craft your perfect itinerary, making suggestions and discussing tweaks to the itinerary to get it just right for you. By working with Travel Counsellors, I have access to a vast number of airlines and travel partners and being independent means I can completely tailor the holiday to suit your unique requirements and not be tied to particular suppliers.

Once you book, I will take care of many of the pre departure arrangements such as booking airline seats, arranging travel insurance and airport parking. I will personally be on hand to answer any queries or questions you may have about your trip before you travel and you will not be held in call centre queues when you contact me. To give clients complete peace of mind, Travel Counsellors offer 100% financial protection regardless of the type of holiday you book and offer a 24/7 emergency contact whilst you are away - wherever in the world you may be.

I can meet clients in person to discuss their holidays and can be available at times to suit you.

Throughout my career I have been fortunate to have travelled to over 40 countries so far, both personally and professionally. I draw on these experiences when creating itineraries for clients, some key ones have been cruising around the Galapagos Islands, a safari in Kenya, hiking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, trekking in the Simien mountains in Ethiopia, spotting jaguars in Brazil, road trips in the USA, Canadian Rockies and New Zealand, seeing the Taj Mahal at dawn and staying in remote lodges in the Amazon rainforest. Since having children our holidays have predominantly been closer to home, but still as rewarding with unforgettable adventures to Lapland, Disneyland, Marrakech and Albania.

Having grown up in Cornwall and through my career, I have developed an awareness of both the positive impacts and challenges that tourism brings to a destination. I strive to be mindful when creating itineraries, making suggestions that benefit the destinations and local communities, and showcasing tourism as a force for good. If travelling responsibly is an important consideration for you, I can incorporate this into your holiday.

I would love to help you plan your next adventure, so please do not hesitate to get in touch.
