It's Nice To Meet You

Hello, I am Darren, your personal Travel Counsellor.

I specialise in creating beautifully tailored leisure holidays, from romantic escapes and special‑occasion trips to unforgettable family adventures. Based in the UK but working with clients across the country, I combine first‑hand destination knowledge with meticulous planning so your holiday feels seamless, special and completely stress free.

Whether you are dreaming of a barefoot‑luxury island, a chic European city break, or a multi‑centre itinerary with private transfers and handpicked hotels, I am here to design a trip that feels truly “you”.

Travel has always been a huge part of my life, and I know how precious your time away really is. It is the moment you switch off from everyday life, reconnect with the people you love and create the memories that last far longer than the tan. My role is to make every part of that experience smooth, inspiring and perfectly organised from the very first conversation to the moment you arrive back home.

I work as an independent Travel Counsellor, which means you benefit from bespoke, one‑to‑one service and the reassurance that every element of your holiday has been carefully considered. I get to know you, your travel style and what matters most, whether that is:

- Beautiful boutique hotels with a sense of place
- Premium and luxury all‑inclusive resorts with outstanding service
- Tailor‑made itineraries that balance exploration with downtime
- Adult‑only hideaways ideal for honeymoons and celebrations
- Family‑friendly stays where every generation is catered for

From there, I design options that truly fit: the right destinations and seasons, thoughtfully chosen flights and transfers, trusted accommodation and special touches that elevate your experience, such as private excursions, spa days, wine tastings or memorable dining.

You will have one point of contact (me) throughout. I am available at a time that suits you, whether that is a quick message in the evening, a weekend chat or a detailed planning call when you are ready to fine‑tune the details.

Your holidays are fully financially protected and backed by the support and technology behind Travel Counsellors, so you can book with total confidence and peace of mind.

Why Book With Me
Personal service: You will always deal with me, not a call centre.
Tailor‑made experiences: Every holiday is built around you, not off‑the‑shelf.
Expert guidance: Honest advice, careful planning and attention to detail.
Peace of mind: Financial protection and support before, during and after travel.
Flexibility: I work around you, so planning your holiday never feels like a chore.

If you are starting to think about your next holiday, I would love to help.

Get in touch with me today to start planning your next trip, and let us turn your ideas into a beautifully planned, stress‑free escape.

Highlights of Sri Lanka

16 October 2025

Sri Lanka wasn't always at the top of my travel list. It was a distant name — beautiful in theory, but not somewhere I had ever seriously considered. That all changed when I joined an escorted tour across Sri Lanka — and what a decision that turned out to be. From golden beaches to misty highlands, sacred temples to bustling local markets, Sri Lanka unfolded like a storybook — and having a local
