It's Nice To Meet You
Hi everyone, welcome to my page.
I’m thrilled to have recently become a Travel Counsellor, so that I can use my extensive travel experience and expertise to create unique and exciting adventures for you and your Tribe. I love nothing more than researching new destinations to explore, so please feel free to contact me with any travel requests – I’m always up for a challenge.
I’ve been lucky enough to embark on a number of adventures. Backpacking from top to tip of South America, self-driving the stunning routes of Australia and New Zealand and winding my way through South East Asia’s bustling cities and backwaters. This passion for discovery hasn’t abated and as two tickets became five following the arrival of my three young adventurers, I’ve continued to try and see new places and take on new challenges. I firmly believe that travel is good for the soul. No matter where you go; from kayaking at dawn through the Amazon rainforest to relaxing with penguins on a South African beach; from exploring the backstreets of a Moroccan souk to chatting with pickers on the emerald green Sri Lankan tea estates, there are always new and exhilarating places to discover. The possibilities in travel are endless and I try to impart this sense of wanderlust on my children. No matter where we go, we always learn something new and return home with huge smiles on our faces and life-long memories to enjoy.
Having spent the last 5 years flying solo at Tribe Family Adventures, I decided to join this supportive team of award winning independent agents so that I can offer my clients a broader variety of trips, alongside the best possible service and financial protection. I whole-heartedly believe that arranging a trip, whether it be a family adventure, honeymoon or a special milestone celebration, should be a fun and exciting experience. Discussing what makes you tick, enables me to create an itinerary exclusively for you, revolving around your interests and passions.
By booking with me, through Travel Counsellors, every part of your trip is 100% financially protected either through the Travel Counsellors Financial Trust or ATOL. You’ll also benefit from human contact, 24/7 - I’m here for you whenever you need me – before, during and after your trip.
If you would like help creating the perfect adventure for you and your Tribe – whoever that may be, please feel free to reach out. I’d love to help make any travel dream you have a reality.
Can’t wait to hear from you.

We would just like to thank our travel counsellor Emma Summers. We have been travelling for over a decade now and are amazed that Emma still manages to find things we haven’t already seen and done. She plans the whole trip down to the last detail so that all we do is enjoy everything when we get there. All the hotels are thoroughly researched and given a rating by her and the hotels never fail to impress. She always finds hotels like the chain CGH Earth which place sustainability, ethics and the involvement of local people at the heart of what they do.
It’s amazing to find such a personal touch in planning what we call travel (and not just a holiday). She includes incredible detail about the area you’re visiting and what you can do there in a way that contributes to the local way of life and adds to it rather than taking from it.
If this kind of travel is what you’re interested in why wouldn’t you want a travel counsellor like Emma?

Emma has been absolutely fantastic. She’s clearly very knowledgeable but has really listened to what we want out of our trip and accommodated that. She’s really lovely to deal with and we have peace of mind that she’s helping us to come up with our dream family trip. I would highly recommend Emma to friends and family.

Emma has helped us plan a really special trip, which has many components and was very difficult to sort out. Emma made the whole experience pain free. She has always been at the other end of the phone/messages to answer any queries too. Would definitely recommend her. Now we are looking forward to our trip next year!

Now we are back home, my wife and I wanted to say a massive thank you for organising such a memorable family holiday. Genuinely did an incredible job with all the logistics and keeping us up to date with changes. The goodies kept the kids occupied on the plane and the hotel was by far the best hotel for kids we've ever stayed at. Thank you!

For anyone wanting help with a family trip, I'd highly recommend getting in touch with Emma. Juggling kids and work, I was struggling to do my usual research into holidays, so having Emma listen to what we wanted, come up with options and tweak them to what we wanted was just perfect. Can't wait to use Emma's knowledge on future trips - who knows where we will end up - there's so much inspiration in her posts!
