It's Nice To Meet You
Hi, thank you for visiting my page.
My name is Laura, I live in Walton on Thames with my husband and two young children.
I have been in the travel industry for over fifteen years as consultant and manager for an award winning travel agency based in London's West End and Kensington. I specialise in arranging long haul tailor-made premium travel. I have always put my customers first and have a great understanding of what it takes to put together the perfect trip.
It is difficult to pick a favourite destination. Over the years I have been fortunate to stay in some of the world’s best hotels and fly with some of the world’s best airlines. I have canoed by mokoro on the Okavango Delta and cruised to the Alaskan fjords. I have helicopter hopped around New Zealand and cycled down 'Death Road' in La Paz. I have sipped cocktails in the Maldives, watched sunsets in the Seychelles and in more recent years meandered down lazy rivers with two toddlers in tow.
I love getting to know my clients and finding out about their holidays and what has inspired their latest travel plans. I make suggestions to match your requirements after taking the time to listen to what you really want, a step beyond the capabilities of the world wide web!
My priority as a travel counsellor is to put you first. From your initial enquiry until you return home I am only ever a phone call away. When booking with me, I am proud to offer further peace of mind that all of you money is 100% protected under the Travel Counsellors Financial Trust or ATOL. So, if it is that once in a life time trip, family holiday or business flight you are looking for then let me make all of the arrangements for you, stress free.

Why use a Travel Counsellor
Let's plan your dream trip together
Tailor-made for you
Your holiday isn’t just a trip away. It’s a longed-for escape, time to reconnect with loved ones, or a dream adventure you never thought possible. That’s why I take the time to truly get to know you and understand your hopes and expectations, then use my experience, connections and passion for the destination to create a trip that makes those dreams a reality.
Personalised service. Always
When you plan a holiday with me, you’ll be given my personal mobile number from the very first call. I’ll listen to your thoughts and ideas like I would a friend and arrange accommodation, activities, and flights that are all personalised to you. And I’ll share my personal tips and recommendations, so you can experience the true beauty of each destination.
Stress-free travel, and more time for what matters most
I believe your time away should be stress-free, easy, and seamless from start to finish. So, I take care of all the details for you - from ATOL protection, insurance, and flexible payments to access to the myTC app, which keeps everything in one place.
Support when it matters most
If the unexpected happens, you can rest easy, knowing that I’ll handle any last-minute changes, flight cancellations, or disruptions before you even pick up the phone. So you always feel happy, carefree, and ready to make the most of every moment.
