About Me

Hello, my name is Elaine Simpson and I am based in Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire where I live with my husband.

As well as being passionate about travel I am a painter and am quite involved in the lively artists’ community locally.
I have over 30 years experience as a travel agent. My early travel experience was in university travel offices which gave me a detailed knowledge of airline routes and off-the-beaten-track destinations – getting from A to B – some of those overseas students came from pretty way-out places!

In 1989 I started my own travel agency and was thrilled to be presented to HRH the Prince of Wales having won a competition for start-up businesses in the Calderdale area. I have almost 20 years of experience running my own independent agency specialising in Australasia and Round the World itineraries, which I love to do and will continue doing with Travel Counsellors.

In 2007 I became a Tourism Australia Premier Aussie Specialist – having been to OZ more than 10 times and visited all of the States and Territories. I am also a specialist in Singapore, Dubai and New Zealand and I will continue to extend my destination knowledge and experience so that, with the extensive and highly professional support of Travel Counsellors, I will be able to offer a comparable service to other regions.

When travelling I like to go to unusual places and try out new experiences with a combination of action and relaxation and that is the kind of trip I excel in arranging: so whatever your idea of a good time, talk to me about it and together we’ll find the perfect trip for you. There’s a place in everyone’s life for a little self-indulgence and hedonism – we all need times to chill out - and I’ll go that extra mile to find the perfect place for you to relax and recharge your batteries. Despite travelling extensively throughout Australasia, America and Europe as well as visiting Canada, Mexico and South Africa my own wish-list never gets any shorter. Top of the list is a return to New Zealand followed by Fiji and Tahiti - but I’ll go anywhere given half a chance!!

Whatever your travel needs I’d be delighted to help and can meet you or arrange it via email or phone – so distance is no object in more ways than one!

I look forward to hearing from you.
