It's Nice To Meet You

I’ve been a Travel Counsellor for 19 years and have worked in the travel industry for more than 35 years. I joined Travel Counsellors because I knew their number one priority was looking after their customers and I wanted to be able to give independent travel advice.

Everything booked with me is covered by our unique Travel Counsellors Trust and your money is 100% safe. Alongside ATOL protection which covers air holiday packages and charter flights, the Travel Counsellors Trust and airline failure insurance protects every other element of your booking, including low cost airlines, scheduled flights, accommodation, and car hire.

Whether you are thinking about a holiday for the summer or a winter break, as your own professional Travel Counsellor I can use our award-winning technology and my expertise to tailor exactly the right holiday to suit your needs. These include long haul holidays, bespoke tailor-made itineraries, luxury travel, flights, river cruises, small group tours, safaris, honeymoons and weddings abroad, cycling or walking holidays, corporate travel, ski & snowboard holidays, villas with private pools, holidays in the UK or birthday & wedding anniversary surprises.

I love to travel so I can also offer first-hand advice on places to visit. I have been fortunate enough to travel all over the globe to Japan, Australia, New Zealand, South America, India, USA, Canada, Singapore, Hong Kong, Africa, Sweden, Norway and Slovenia. I have also been skiing in Canada, Finland, France and Italy. As I love walking and the great outdoors, trips have taken me to the Italian Lakes, the Austrian Alps and Peru to walk the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. I have been lucky enough to see the Northern Lights in Lapland and Norway and swim with stingrays in the Caribbean, go on safari and sail transatlantic from New York to Southampton.

I live and work from home near Oundle in rural Northamptonshire, but I have customers all over the UK. So however big or small your travel arrangements, complicated or easy, please just ask, because I’d love to turn your travel dreams or business trip into reality. Use me for an easy, efficient, and hassle-free experience, plus I love a challenge and I love sprinkling some magic on every booking I make!

Hurtigruten Expedition Voyage – Island Hopping in the Scottish Hebrides

From the minute we checked in at Greenock to board MS Spitsbergen I can honestly say it was a fabulous expedition voyage, which I can highly recommend. With only 220 passengers, resident wildlife & geology experts onboard plus a science lab, this was no normal cruise. No dressing up for your evening meal was required this voyage came with no glitz & glamour. It was informal, yet it had an intimate

New York with no jet lag & no luggage limit

It’s a fascinating and vibrant city and, as the capital of unified Germany, it’s far more than just a symbol of the old and new. The city oozes the history of the Cold War and the remains of the Berlin Wall are still a visible reminder of this. You can walk the 1.3km lon

Joanne organised a trip for my whole family (11 of us) to travel to Kenya and visit the Maasai Mara for a safari and then have some days on the shores of the Indian Ocean in Diani just south of Mombasa. The trip itself was absolutely magical and the places Joanne had found for us to stay were really wonderful with great service, food and accommodation and brilliant experiences while we were there. The whole holiday ran really smoothly thanks to Joanne’s organisation - she booked everything a long time in advance to ensure a good price and the organisation was all seamless with cars ready to pick us up at every airport / hotel and even staff to ease our transfer from a domestic flight to an international one. Joanne was very helpful with questions in advance about vaccines, visas, luggage etc - even going out of her way to bring us travel documents in person and lend us luggage which was suitable for taking on the light weight aircraft flying out of the Mara. Our trip was superb from start to finish and we are very grateful to Joanne for facilitating it for us.

My wife and i have booked several holidays with Joanne, and any issues we have had on a personal front, prior to or during the holiday, she has dealt with in a sympathetic and efficient manner.

gordon black

chalford hill

My friend recommended I resort to Joanne Cowdery at Travel Counsellors to book a flight for a work opportunity. Travelling rules were changing every moment due to the pandemic. Most direct flights to Portugal were cancelled on last minute basis, and alternative routes with stopovers were constantly changing, with each government coming up with new rules and new documentation that would be required. I called up the major airlines directly. I expected they would know the last minute rules as they have people on the ground. I was wrong. I wasted my time on long waits on the phone to hear disclaimers and got no useful information to organize my work agenda. Joanne was really amazing. She dedicated true effort and care. She went beyond her professional responsibilities. She kept checking the various government websites and summarized the complex rules. Sending me simplified emails providing me with the requirements and directions. Always available on the phone and helped figuring out the best route through the crossed winds. She went through options to help evaluate the risks, pros and cons. Her voice on the phone was always calm and comforting allowing us to evaluate options. We need professionals loyal to human values as Joanne deployed in an extraordinary manner.

Joanne was and is always available to answer any queries promptly, will find the answers to any random questions you may have and takes a personal as well as professional interest in ensuring that from start to finish the holiday will be just what you wanted. We would like to keep Joanne a secret, but that would be unfair to anyone else who would like the assistance of a talented Travel Counsellor!
