About Me
Hello, my name is Amanda Watkins and I am a Travel Counsellor based in Pease Pottage in West Sussex. I grew up nearby in Handcross and still have immediate family in the village, after several years away I moved back to the area in 2006.
I have worked in the travel industry for seventeen years, mainly with Tour Operators specializing in longhaul destinations such as the U.S.A & Hawaii, New Zealand and the Islands of the South Pacific. Consequently I have travelled extensively in these destinations. I have also been to Singapore, Bangkok and Sydney and more recently to Trinidad & Tobago, the Riviera Maya of Mexico and Dubai. Before embarking on my career in travel I spent nearly three years living and working on the Costa Blanca of Spain. Within Europe I have visited many parts of Italy as well as the Algarve. One of my favourite holidays was a trip to Egypt to see the Pyramids in Cairo and the tombs and temples around Luxor which I found absolutely fascinating.
My favourite place to visit is New Zealand; I have been there three times but still want to return. For such a small country New Zealand offers a huge array of experiences, I cannot recommend a visit here highly enough. For unadulterated relaxation I love Fiji, where there is an island and resort to suit every taste. I have been lucky enough to visit a lot of them!
I became a Travel Counsellor in October 2006 because I wanted the opportunity to provide every client with a personal, tailormade service. I am available by telephone, e-mail or private appointment often in the evening or at weekends as required. I particularly enjoy arranging weddings and honeymoons as well as tailormade longhaul or ‘round the world’ trips where each individual detail is vitally important to the whole Itinerary.
It would be great to hear from you if I can help in any way at all with your travel or holiday plans. I hope to speak to you soon.
