Abbie Rebecca Smith

I’m Abbie, an independent Travel Counsellor and travel planner; based in South East London, I work with clients locally and further afield. I’ve spent the last 20 years looking after clients, understanding what they need and making things happen – first in busy advertising agencies and at live events, and now in travel. I bring that same care, curiosity and attention to detail to planning holidays that feel perfectly “you”.

Travel has always been a big part of my life – from childhood holidays filled with amazing memories, to backpacking across South East Asia and Australia, exploring South America with a rucksack, and now creating special trips with my own family. I even started out studying Business and Tourism before moving into Business Management, and spent a year working for what was then the British Tourist Authority (now VisitBritain), so it feels like I’ve finally come full circle.

So far, I’ve visited more than 45 countries across every continent except Antarctica. Highlights include diving in the Galapagos, staying in desert hotels in Abu Dhabi, hopping around the Greek islands, driving California’s Big Sur coast and countless city breaks across Europe. Those experiences have taught me that it’s often the little details that turn a good holiday into an unforgettable one.

I can help with everything from luxury beach escapes and family adventures to complex multi-stop itineraries, cruises, ski holidays and corporate travel. I’ll take the time to really listen, understand what matters to you and do the research, before shaping a trip around exactly what you’re looking for.

When you book with me, you’ll have personal, one-to-one support alongside the reassurance and financial protection of Travel Counsellors, including the myTC app and our 24/7 Duty Office. From the first idea to the moment you arrive home, I’ll be there to take care of the details.

If you’re starting to think about your next trip – even if you’re not quite sure what it looks like yet – I’d love to chat and help turn those ideas into a holiday you’ll be talking about for years.
