Hello and welcome to my website - I’m Jo, your personal Travel Counsellor. If you’re looking for a friendly, caring and professional service when sourcing your travel requirements, you’re definitely in the right place.
I live in Ashford, Kent, with my husband and two young sons; and having spent 18 years in the travel industry, I have a wealth of knowledge and experience from high street travel agencies and tour operators. I've had a variety of roles from field staff management to guest experience as well as spending many years as a travel consultant and assistant manager in retail travel. I love to experience and enjoy holidays that aren’t the same as everyone else’s – I’ve stayed overnight in a lodge in Belize after an incredible night tour hand feeding zoo animals by torchlight; I’ve hurtled down the Pfingstegg Rodelbahn in the Swiss Bernese Oberland; and cheered on the Miami Dolphins at their home ground for an American football game to name but a few!
Holidays are my absolute passion. Whether I’m crafting a bespoke, unique itinerary for my clients, or heading off on adventures with my family, there is really nothing else I’d rather talk to you about! Cruises, beach holidays, adventure travel, flight only, touring – I can book all of these and more, and I’d be delighted to look after you. The best part is that I’m available at a time to suit you, however you’d like to get in touch.
Travel Counsellors continue to receive exceptional feedback from our clients on Trustpilot, and when you book with me, you can rest assured that your travel arrangements are 100% financially protected against supplier failure via the Travel Counsellors Trust or ATOL for your complete peace of mind.
I look forward to speaking to you soon!

As a regular user of the myTC app I can totally rate it 5*! In the ‘old days’ we’d sit down with a brochure and hunt through hundreds of hotels, trying to whittle them down and gauge a price from the graph they provided. We’d then have to go into a store to get the actual price! Then more recently we had the power of the Internet, making it that bit easier to find out about hotels and get a more realistic price. MyTC is an innovative way to book a holiday, as we now tell our wonderful and knowledgeable Travel Consultant who takes on board everything we’ve requested and offers just a few suggestions. We’ve now worked with Jo several times and she has been SPOT on every time with location, hotel, excursions and even hotel extras. Plus we have the added bonus of that personal touch with a real person happy to talk to us at a moment's notice ?? This is the future of travel!
