It's Nice To Meet You
Hi, I’m Debbie, it’s lovely to meet you.
If you are looking for somebody who cares, for somebody to look after your holiday arrangements so that you don’t have to - you have come to the right place.
I love to travel and have been working in this fabulous industry for well over 25 years - it will be my pleasure to share my knowledge, experience and passion to help you plan your next trip.
Customer service and care are my absolute priorities.
It is important to me that I get to know you and match the right holiday to suit you personally. I take care of the finer details, so that you can simply relax and look forward to going away.
Over the years I have successfully arranged a variety of trips: from a UK break for 2 to an overseas tour for 100, cruises, round-the-world adventures, romantic honeymoons, family beach escapes, city breaks and completely bespoke tailor-made itineraries. With many years of experience behind me, and the peace of mind that comes with Travel Counsellors 100% financial guarantee, you can feel assured you are in very safe hands.
I live in the Conwy area of North Wales, a truly beautiful part of the world, but I love to explore further afield too; different cultures, new flavours and fragrances, new languages, and of course, plenty of sunshine!
I have been fortunate to visit many incredible destinations with a wonderful mix of experiences. More recently these have included unforgettable safari’s in South Africa and Namibia, a fantastic Alaska cruise combined with land stays in Vancouver & Vancouver Island, a true ‘bucket-list’ tour of both the South and North Islands of New Zealand, an exciting Iceland short break adventure and a ‘significant birthday’ trip to Mauritius. I have also enjoyed several city breaks and varied family holidays, from mobile home stays in France to a Caribbean cruise. We have so many happy holiday memories that we talk about often, and love seeing the photos pop up on our phones!
I would love to help you plan your next journey and create your own special memories.
Please give me a call to discuss your dream holiday, I very much look forward to speaking with you soon.

Beautiful Corsica
The incredible blue sea and the beautiful blue sky throughout my 7 night stay in the lovely town of Calvi in the north-west of Corsica was just mesmerising – whether I noticed this more as the summer of 2024 just didn’t seem to want to make an appearance in the UK and an escape from the grey skies of North Wales was a very welcome one! As our aircraft came in to land, the gorgeous colours of the

Touring New Zealand - North Island
Continuing our New Zealand touring adventure.......North Island. When it came for us to leave Wellington, we took a different route to the one we had originally planned as we were unable to travel via Napier due to this area being severely affected by Cyclone Gabrielle which had hit North Island a few weeks before we arrived. Our first stop on our own took us via Foxton Beach to Ohakune, a popul

Touring New Zealand - South Island
A trip to New Zealand was at the very top of my husband's list of 'Things to do before I can't!'. He had lived out there briefly as a child but hadn't been back since the age of 11 and had always vowed that this trip was a MUST DO - to take myself and our daughter to re-visit where he had spent some of his childhood. Although I knew it would happen one day, it felt surreal planning a trip for ou

Iceland Adventure
On Wednesday 4th November 2021 I set off on an early flight out of Manchester to Reykjavik for a 5 night “Iceland Adventure”. We started off at FlyOver Iceland, where state-of-the-art technology gives you the feeling of flight. Your seat suspends you so that your feet dangle as you watch and ‘fly over’ the landscape of Iceland with special effects of wind, mist and scents, along with motion, whi

'Wowed' in Namibia
An opportunity to experience Namibia on the ‘trip of a lifetime’ was available, to go on safari, to visit Etosha Heights, go to Damaraland, stay in Swakopmund, climb Big Daddy and photograph Deadvlei…..plus fly between these places by private jet – wow, I just had to go! After an 11 hour flight from London Heathrow to Johannesburg, followed by a 2 hour flight from Jo’burg to Windhoek we met our f

Abu Dhabi short break
We hadn't planned an early break, but as the weather was particularly cold and awful we found ourselves pining for some warmth, so when the invitation arose for us to join friends in Abu Dhabi for a few days in March, we jumped at it! We took the 19:10 direct overnight flight from Manchester to Abu Dhabi with Etihad Airways, a great flight which had us arriving around 6½ hours later into a ver

Christmas in Thailand
We decided early on in 2011 that we would like to ‘escape Christmas’ for one year, and as Thailand has always been on our wish list of places to visit, this was where we decided to go. What a fantastic choice we made - we LOVED Thailand! We went to Manchester Airport on the afternoon of the 15 December for the overnight Etihad Airways flight to Abu Dhabi connecting onwards to Bangkok and then a

South Africa celebration
This was our first big holiday on our own since having our daughter 20 years ago, a trip to celebrate our Silver Wedding Anniversary....no pressure to get this right then! We arrived at our first destination, Cape Town on the 10th March 2017 for a 4 night stay at the boutique Hotel Queen Victoria hotel in a great location close to the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront – great place to wander around

Long weekend in Barcelona
As you can imagine, I have a long wish-list of places I would like to visit and Barcelona was very high up under the city break options. When our friends invited us to join them in Barcelona to celebrate a significant birthday, we jumped at the opportunity! We travelled out of a sunny but cold Liverpool, arriving just over two hours later to a very wet Barcelona! However, this didn't deter us

Algarve Summer Holiday
Sunshine....we needed sunshine!! As the school holidays had been so cold and wet, and daughter wasn't returning to school until the 6th September, we decided to head off to the sunshine for a week to re-charge the batteries. So on Sunday 29th August we took an early flight out to the Algarve. This was our first visit to the Algarve and won't be the last - we loved it! We collected our hir

Dubai
Dubai has intrigued me for many years now and I have been desperate to experience this destination first-hand. So when, after completing the Dubai Tourism training course, I was offered a place on an educational trip I absolutely jumped at the chance! Etihad Airways provided an excellent flight direct from Manchester to Abu Dhabi, which is just a one hour coach transfer into central Dubai. I

Easter Sun in Costa Adeje, Tenerife
It's a few years now since my last visit to Tenerife and with the family all ready for a week of relaxation, we thought we'd spend Easter in the sun. So on Monday 6th April, shortly after a four hour flight and a twenty minute taxi ride, we found ourselves sitting in the warm sunshine of our balcony - bliss! We chose a hotel in the Costa Adeje area of southern Tenerife, an area I was keen t

Barbados
Barbados has always been on my list of 'Places I Must Visit', (along with a whole long list of other destinations!). I just love to travel and now my daughter is that bit older, our family holidays are venturing that bit further afield. So on the 6th July 2008 we found ourselves onboard a Virgin aircraft bound for 2 weeks of sunshine in Barbados. The 8 hour flight passed very quickly and soon
