It's Nice To Meet You

Holidays can be a time to slow down and bring you back to yourself, or they can be a time to make you feel more alive. So often, the tensions from our everyday life can be dragged away with us, and it’s easy to let the holiday be a continuation of the daily routine. I think that holidays should be full of experiences you can escape to by remembering them when you’ve returned. The perfect holiday can be time-consuming and stressful to plan, but luckily I can do the hard work for you so you can switch-off or switch-on when the time comes.
I was born in New Zealand, grew up in Australia, and have lived in Oxfordshire, England, for over twenty years. My first trip abroad was to Hawaii and I have been travelling ever since. I worked for the Australian airline Qantas for ten years, which allowed me to see a lot of the world, but also to experience the supply-side of the travel industry.

Since then, I have worked in administration and project management, and have had to vent my passion for travel in the holidays I plan for family and friends. As a result, I usually ensure that there is a relaxation phase for my husband, an adventure phase for my children and a cultural phase for myself: I’ve organised a wine tour on horse-back in South Africa, a star-gazing session in the Pyrenees, a cooking lesson in Sicily, kayaking over underwater ruins in Turkey, massages overlooking the Andaman Sea in Thailand and white-water rafting in Montenegro! I can tailor your holiday to fit your needs and dreams.

Being a family of foodies, our trips are always studded with gastronomic highlights. I can recommend a surprise taster menu in Southern France, the top place for oysters in Sydney and the best gyoza in Tokyo. I think I must be doing something right, as my children are both at University and still come on family holidays! Whether you’re looking for weeks on a sandy beach with turquoise sea, a culture-filled city break or an adventure, creating your ideal holiday and keeping it stress-free for you is what I love to do.

Years travelling with Qantas, and years organising international trips have left me well-equipped to make sure that flights, transfers and other travelling-chores are made easy for you. Recently my sister had her bag and passport stolen in Spain and was unable to travel. Having a calm voice on the end of the phone who can sort out a new itinerary, make travel arrangements and relevant phone-calls when something goes wrong, is the sort of service that I can guarantee as a Travel Counsellor, whatever the time of day (or night).

So for your next holiday, please give me a call or email me to discuss it. I have been to some wonderful places, but there are many I would still love to visit (top of my list is Machu Picchu, Peru). As a Travel Counsellor I have over a thousand colleagues all over the world who can help me tailor-make your trip. You may be looking for some suggestions, or somewhere may have caught your imagination. Whatever you’re looking for, I can turn it into a reality for you.

I look forward to speaking to you soon

What my customers say

It's such a help and time-saver that you can do the extra searching for the holiday we want. You've been great at listening to what we like and looking for something to suit us. And it's great that you can give personal recommendations and advice on lots of destinations. I've already recommended you to others! Thank you for your patience!

Debbie was brilliant. Well informed, demonstrated great knowledge and experience, and was very patient with our pondering and endless questions.

We are all having the most wonderful holiday. All your carefully made plans have been truly perfect I would so recommend this holiday to anyone who values getting off the beaten track, enjoys water pursuits, community involvement, ecology and beautiful relaxation. Incidentally precisely our holiday specification for you originally! We have never been anywhere with such a good combination of hospitality comfort fabulous things to do and lack of tourism. We saw sunsets moonrises and loved the use of 12km of beach just for us! We have swum with dolphins, had lunch on the sandbank with the most brilliant snorkelling ever! Today I have been on a walking bird safari and the girls are scuba diving. Thank you so much for making this such a terrific success for us with all your careful preparation. I think you would love it here yourselves. Many many thanks

Well we have finally got over the jet-lag and getting back to normal life. I wanted to let you know how much we both enjoyed our holiday and all the different experiences that you organised for us. It was a holiday of a lifetime for us but it exceeded all our expectations. The way that you fitted every thing in for us worked perfectly with no hitches. Thank you so much, when I have sorted out our photo's I'll let you have a look.

Debbie has helped my husband and I plan a 5 month trip, staying in different parts of Europe. Her knowledge and expertise in relation to the areas have been superb. Debbie has sourced all different hotels, villas and apartments and transfers for us. We couldn't have undertaken this without her.

Debbie has been instrumental in organising our five month post-retirement "odyssey" as she likes to call it, with different stops in different locations in Greece, Italy and France. She has been fantastic in getting accommodation, flights, ferries and other transfers sorted out, as well as being in regular contact while we've been travelling and we couldn't have achieved it all without her. We feel that Travel Counsellors are very fortunate to have her as part of their team.

Terrific service from Debbie. Always good to talk to her.

Dorothy Lowe

Alicante, Spain

I wanted to say a BIG thank you for all of your help and support. Madrid was fabulous and couldn't have gone any better! We managed to keep the location a surprise until we got to the departure gate and Dani had a great hen weekend. Thank you again for being so responsive and helpful as I don't think I could have organised that many people without your help.

I actually received Debbie Williams name from a friend and have since recommended her to several people within our company. Debbie is so efficient, knowledgeable and a pure pleasure to deal with. She also has the patience of a saint dealing with the silly questions and delays in answering her email. I will be booking all my trips through Debbie in future, she is truly a brilliant find! Thanks Debbie for making a nightmare booking as easy for me as you did!

Marjorie Quirke

Having never visited Barcelona before we found Debbie's advice and knowledge of the area very helpful for us. Also her replies to any questions were very prompt. Highly recommended.

Debbie was fantastic. We had very little idea of what we wanted and we kept changing the plans, Debbie was flexible and very hepful. I would not hesitate to recomend her again

Neil Morris

Debbie Williams's service was stunning. She was comprehensive, responded immediately and had great ideas and suggestions that changed a stressful situation for me into a pleasure with more achieved than I ever expected... and MOST efficiently!

We had a great time! The hotel in Dubai could not have been better, superb! Recommend it to anybody. Everything was perfect. Thank goodness you thought to book us in until the 21st. It meant that we didn't have to vacate our rooms early. Good thinking! We will definitely book through you again, probably similar trip in 2016 when Cliff will be 80. Must start saving up now!

Dorothy Lowe

Alicante, Spain

You have now booked two holidays for us, both very different but equally enjoyable. The attention to detail for our tour of South East Australia was fantastic. Even with so many elements to it everything went exceptionally well. So well we want to go again. Our family holiday in Dubai was relaxing and just what we needed. The hotel ticked all the boxes.
