About Me
Welcome to Travel Counsellors. My name is William and I live in Norwich, where I have been based in between bouts of travel for the last 36 years. I am passionate about travel and have been lucky enough to visit all seven continents, spending time in over seventy countries; from Australia to Zimbabwe, Austria to Zambia. I am married with a 4 year old daughter, who already has her fair share of passport stamps! The new addition is two year old Alex and he's doing his best to catch up his sister.
Before becoming a Travel Counsellor in January 2009, I was a travel consultant with one of the largest independent agencies in the UK, Trailfinders; prior to that I worked as a flight attendant with British Airways and Air UK. I studied Interpreting and Translation (French and German) at the University of East Anglia, and can also converse in Spanish, Dutch and Italian, should the need arise!
After my studies, I spent nearly 3 years roaming the globe on an ‘extended’ honeymoon incorporating a special wedding gift of an Antarctic cruise from the southern tip of Argentina. Other trips include extensive travel through Southern and East Africa, trips to numerous islands in the Pacific and time in South East Asia and the Far East.
I can offer you up to date, first-hand knowledge of many countries, can guarantee to be enthusiastic about your booking (and only a little envious!) and save you the time and stress of carrying out your own research. So, be it short stays in the UK and the rest of Europe, honeymoons abroad, fly-drives in the USA or complicated round-the-world itineraries, please do contact me; I look forward to hearing from you.
