It's Nice To Meet You

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!

Sent by Julia Finnis

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!

Sent by Gillian Monk

Jo has been very attentive and took time to understand what we were looking for before bombarding us with reams of options for the sake of it. Perfect service. Will use her again and have already recommended her to fellow travellers.

Sent by Sita Turner

Jo is a knowledgeable and patient agent who will go above and beyond to give you an incredible experience. She has booked 2 trips now, both of which were complex and she has done a fantastic job both times

Sent by Bridie Jackson

Jo was super helpful with all of my requests and booked me the most incredible holiday with all of her knowledge! Can’t wait to use her for my holidays in the future!

Sent by Alice Monk

Jo booked a business trip for us which normally we would organise in house. Jo took all the stress and research away, gave us clear options that fit our brief, and saved us a lot of time. She was friendly, clear, and helpful throughout. I would recommend her services and will certainly come to her again for future travel needs.

Sent by Gemma Ransley

Not only did Jo initially get us a great deal on our honeymoon, she added the personal touch and phoned the hotel manager to let him know it is our honeymoon. Now we have a 5* hotel and room upgrade! And that's the difference between booking yourself and using an expert!

Sent by Katie Hattley

I would recommend Jo in a heartbeat. She will always go above and beyond to find what her client wants and she found a much better holiday than I would have found on my own because she has so much knowledge of the industry and all sorts of different destinations for different clients. I already have recommended Jo to quite a few people and I will definitely go to her again next time I’m looking to book a holiday.

Sent by Cathy Haines

Jo is very knowledgeable regarding the resort we are going to. She has organised and communicated every aspect of the forthcoming trip exceedingly well and we are looking forward to our trip in December.

Sent by Jeanette Tillin

Finding and booking our holiday was quick and easy. We found our Travel Counsellor very helpful, informative and professional and we are happy to recommend her to friends, family and colleagues.

Sent by Tony Tonkin

An absolute joy to book with Jo. Listened and acted upon all our requirements with professional approach. Will definitely be using Jo again. It’s nice to have such a personal touch!

Sent by Jessica Hardy

Jo is an absolute star. She is so amazing, did everything I needed very quickly and went above and beyond at all times. I will highly recommend her and will definitely continue to use her in the future.

Destination wedding planning – a step by step guide

Following on from my recent blog about getting married abroad, I wanted to share my hints and tips on how to make your destination wedding a reality. WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO YOU?

Destination weddings With the ever increasing cost of living and our general desire to seek out sunnier shores, it’s come as little surprise to me that more and more clients are getting in touch to find out about getting married abroad.

The reality is of course that we all aspire to enjoy different holidays – having a stomp round city sights is relaxing for some, whereas the Maldives or Seychelles are the perfect place for R+R for others.
