Unforgettable Journeys, Thoughtfully Designed Around You
I’m Caitlin and I’m your personal Travel Consultant based in Knutsford, Cheshire.
Originally born in Singapore, and with a childhood shared between England and South Africa, exploring the world has always been part of my life. From getting married in the South African bush to teaching my daughter to snorkel in the Caribbean, many of my most treasured memories have been created through travel, and that's exactly what I want for my clients too.
For me, it's not just about ticking off destinations, it's about understanding what matters most to you and adding those thoughtful touches that turn a good holiday into a truly special one: the lodge that is perfect for your first safari, the family‑friendly resort where everyone can do what they enjoy, or the little restaurant you will still be talking about years later.
As part of Travel Counsellors, my business is backed by a trusted and reputable company ensuring your holiday is in safe hands. We are 100% financially and ATOL protected and our dedicated Duty Office is available 24/7 for your peace of mind.
Being part of a global network means I can draw on experts in every destination, and our strong supplier relationships give us access to an extensive range of hand‑picked hotels, tours and experiences. Plus, with the myTC app you can easily access up‑to‑date holiday details and securely make payments for your bookings.
Your time is precious, so let me take care of the research and planning for that perfect trip, while you focus on making unforgettable memories. Travel doesn't have to be stressful: I'll treat your holiday like my own, keeping an eye on the details so everything runs smoothly.
Having a young family of my own, I understand the challenges of balancing work and family life, so I pride myself on being flexible and available at a time that suits you.
Get in touch for a chat and let’s start planning your next adventure, whether that's a South African safari, a sun‑soaked family escape or a once‑in‑a‑lifetime celebration trip.

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.
