Your journey, crafted with care.
Welcome, and thank you for visiting my page. I am your personal Travel Counsellor, based on the Surrey/Hampshire borders just outside Farnham. After many happy years in London where my husband and I raised our three sons, we are now loving life in the beautiful countryside.
I bring over 10 years’ experience with a leading ski, lakes and mountains specialist and have visited more than 20 ski resorts across Europe. Skiing is a true passion of mine and I would be delighted to use that knowledge to help you find your perfect winter escape.
My love of travel goes far beyond the slopes. I have explored widely around this incredible planet and look forward to sharing some of the most inspiring destinations for every kind of trip, from short breaks to once‑in‑a‑lifetime adventures.
Whether you are short of ideas, searching for something a little different, or already have a plan in mind, I will work closely with you to design your ideal trip, so that all you need to do is relax and make memories.
I am here to guide you as much or as little as you need: from the first spark of an idea, through the exciting countdown to departure, while you are away, and once you return home. My aim is to give you complete peace of mind and the freedom to enjoy every moment.
So whether you are dreaming of family summer fun, travelling for work, a holiday to reconnect with loved ones, a recharging city break, a romantic escape, an active discovery trip or a simple fly‑and‑flop beach holiday, I would love to help.
Get in touch for a no‑obligation quotation and let the adventure begin.

What To Pack For A Ski Holiday
Packing for a ski holiday can feel a bit like solving a puzzle! Escaping the grey drizzle at home and swapping it for crisp mountain air, fresh powder and that first hot chocolate at the top of the slopes is hard to beat. But before you can clip into your skis and head off on your next run, there is one slightly less glamorous job to tackle: packing. With limited luggage allowance and lots of s

Wildlife & Conservation Holidays: Travel That Make a Difference
Some holidays are about ticking off sights; others are about connecting with the natural world and leaving a lighter footprint as you go. Increasingly, my clients are asking for the latter: trips that bring them face to face with wildlife, support local conservation projects and still offer all the comfort and ease of a carefully crafted itinerary. In this blog, I share the story of one such jour

7 nights in Hammamet, Tunisia
The Jewel in Tunisia’s Tourist Crown, is what they say. Just over 3 hours flying time from London to Enfidha and as you step off the plane you are enveloped by the warmth of the sun, somehow this always gives me a thrill. The airport is quiet impressive with water features and not many people, perfect! We were met by a charming driver who tried to engage with us, but his English and our Arabic wer

This trip was not something we could put together ourselves, we tried and it was impossible, nearly destroyed the laptop in the process! We were then recommended Travel Counsellors, (I had never heard of them bef

Iceland, the land of fire and ice
We found ourselves looking for a fun festive place to celebrate Christmas away with our sons ages 16, 14 and 11. We chose Iceland and booked 3 nights at the Hotel Borg. The hotel came recommended and did not disappoint. One of the wonderful things about Iceland is that it is just under 4 hours flying time from London but seems a world away in landscape, traditions and culture. We arrived at Kefla

I cannot tire of Marrakesh
Marrakesh, (the English spelling, but wildly used is the French spelling, Marrakech) really does have it all for an exciting, adventurous, friendly, fun, active and relaxing holiday. From arriving at Menara Airport your transfer is only 15 minutes to the centre of the walled city. Morocco's official spoken language is Moroccan Arabic, which is slightly different from other forms of Arabic. Neverth

A long weekend in Barcelona
A weekend away is good for the soul and Barcelona has everything a soul needs – history, architecture, food, art, music, shopping, great atmosphere and Cava! My visit was with my sister and we went in memory of our mother who had recently passed away and who loved Spain. We stayed at Hotel Barcelona Universal on Av del Paral-lel between Port Vell and Sant Antoni districts and walking distance to L
