About Me
Hi, my name is Amanda and I am a Travel Counsellor based in Banstead. Although I have lived in the South for about 10 years I’m a northern girl at heart – born and bred in Manchester. After work – when I am not with my with my husband and 2 lovely children, Lucy and George – I’m usually outdoors; running or mountain biking – a passion which has taken me to some wonderful parts of the UK, keeping me fit (and often bruised!)in the process.
I have been a Travel Counsellor for two and a half years, but have worked in travel all my life! Starting my career as a YTS student, based in an independent high street agency in Rochdale, gave me a wonderful grounding and I was very quickly bitten by the travel bug! I spent my time as a sales clerk and a shop manager, before moving south to open my own high street shop in Kingston upon Thames.
A lifetime in travel has helped me travel whenever possible to many places, seeing them from different perspectives. There have been lively holidays to Greece with friends….. travelling holidays around Thailand as a young, adventurous singleton….. romantic / cultural holidays with my husband…..and wonderful sun and sand holidays with my family. I have also been lucky enough to enjoy educational trips, which really helped me to get to know unfamiliar places well – Mauritius, Florida and Singapore being some of my favourites!
I love being a Travel Counsellor. Knowing that I am supported by a large independent company gives me confidence and of course access to a huge range of different suppliers. So whether you are looking for your family beach holiday, a personalised tailor made trip, a cruise or a weekend break, I will always be able to source the holiday that will suit you perfectly, at a price that you like. I really care that you enjoy your holiday and will look after every detail of it for you. After all I want you to come back to me and recommend me to all your friends and family!
I would love the opportunity to help you with your plans next time you are thinking of getting away – I'm available during the daytime or evenings –just give me a call or drop me an email. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
