About Me
Hello and welcome to my website! My name is Natalie Poat and I have been in the travel industry since 1986 and a Travel Counsellor since 2003. I live and work in wonderful West Somerset.
I have visited many countries and hope I can use my travel experience to help you find your perfect holiday! I believe I offer a level of customer service far superior to what you will find in most high street travel agents or call centres and the number of referrals I receive from my clients bears testament to this. As a result I have been a “Gold Travel Counsellor” since 2004.
Some of my favourite destinations are:
* Australia & New Zealand - I spent 4 months touring with my family in 2006/7. We swam with dolphins, climbed glaciers, walked the Sydney Harbour Bridge, tasted wine and even learnt to dive on the Barrier Reef!
* Costa Rica - the wildlife is out of this world and the people some of the friendliest I have met anywhere!
* Skiing - I have been skiing for over 25 years and have visited resorts in France, Austria, Switzerland, Canada and the USA. My husband and I even went skiing for our honeymoon and spent New Year 2007/8 in an igloo at the top of a Swiss mountain!
* Cruise - since a cargo ship voyage around French Polynesia and visits to three of the biggest cruise ships in the world (the QM2 and sister ships Freedom & Independence of the Seas) you could say I have caught the cruising bug and am looking forward to my first Clipper cruise experience on the Royal Clipper in August 2008!
* The Far East - recent trips include Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia and Hong Kong. You could say I was a Far East fanatic!
* Caribbean – 2008 has seen me going “Caribbean crazy” with trips to the Turks & Caicos (amazing diving), Canouan in the Grenadines where I wished I was a golfer as well as a diver and Barbados where horse riding along the beach, jeep safaris and catamaran cruises were the order of the day!
As your own professional Travel Counsellor I can use award winning technology and personal expertise to tailor make exactly the right holiday to suit your needs. Give me a call or email me today, I look forward to hearing from you soon!
