Based In Kirkby In Ashfield
Hi! My name is Donna and I'm a personal Travel Counsellor based in Kirkby in Ashfield, Nottinghamshire where I have lived almost all my life.
I have been married to Andy since July 2008 and although we have no children, we do have several pets. I love spending time with my friends and family as well as travelling, reading and anything to do with animals!
Travel is my true life's passion. From a very young age I was lucky enough to go on many family holidays, in the UK and overseas, and experience what the world has to offer so I love to share that passion with everyone I meet.
I have over 20 years of experience from my background with one of the biggest and most well-known travel firms on the high street. From my time there I have gained a lot of knowledge and expertise in many areas of the world. Not only that, I have been lucky enough to travel to many of the places that I have had the pleasure of selling over the years. These include a multi-centre trip to Australia, city and skiing in Canada, theme parks and beaches in Florida as well as extensively travelling within Europe.
I am very proud to offer an exceptional level of service to all of my clients.
I joined Travel Counsellors because they are an award winning, multi-national company who put the emphasis on customer service, which is something that I feel very strongly about. It's an an honour to be part of such a prestigious and successful company and I'm so happy to be part of this amazing team.
Working from home allows me much more flexibility so that I can be available for you when you need me, including evenings and weekends. Having the freedom to choose my own working hours means that your holiday is my priority at a time that suits you.
I’m not looking for customers, I’m looking to make new friends and grow my business from there. So if you’d like to be my friend and allow me the opportunity to find the perfect holiday for you, please feel free to contact me.
You can also find me on social media, all of which I update on a regular basis with travel tips, breaking news and personal experiences.
I can’t wait to hear from you!
Speak soon

I was recently fortunate to be invited on a memorable five-night sailing aboard @fred.olsencruiselines’ Borealis, departing from Newcastle with stops in both Amsterdam and Rotterdam. It was a truly wonderful experience that highlighted the many unique advantages of small-ship cruising. Boarding was seamless and efficient—we were welcomed on board just after lunch, and within minutes of receiving

It was only a 90 minute coach ride from Philadelphia to Atlantic City, the home of gambling on the East Coast of America. I wasn't sure what to expect of this little town but it was surprisingly a real gem of a place. We arrived at our hotel, The Hard Rock Atlantic City and after a speedy check in were straight to our lovely rooms. Spacious and just enough luxury without being too over the top.

Philadelphia has never been a destination that I had ever considered before, not sure why but when the opportunity came up to visit I knew I had to take the chance to see what the birthplace of the United States of America actually had to offer.... I was definitely not disappointed! Philly, as it's affectionately called by the residents, is a fabulous city with plenty of historical sites mixed w

First of all I'd like to wish you a very Happy New Year from myself and Andy!! Thanks so much for all of your support in 2019, I can't wait to get started on 2020!! January is often a dreary, grey month after the bright lights and excitement of Christmas, which is why it is ALWAYS the busiest month in the travel industry… people need something else to look forward to once Christmas has gone. You

Las Vegas has been on my ‘bucket list’ for quite some time so I was really excited to get the opportunity to visit in February as part of my multi centre USA trip. We had chosen the LINQ hotel more for location than anything, being very central on the strip and easy to get to one end or the other. I also liked the fact that it isn’t a ‘themed’ hotel. Travelling along the Strip in the taxi from t

We stayed at the Doubletree by Hilton Times Square West on West 40th Street almost on the corner of 9th Avenue. Check in was quick, allocated rooms on floor 31 with a city view. The rooms are small, but this is expected in New York. Room was functional and comfortable though with tea/coffee making facilities, hairdryer etc. Check in also included freshly baked cookies which was a lovely touch! W

It’s now less than a week until Christmas and most of us have finished our shopping, maybe even wrapped our carefully planned gifts for our loved ones. If, like me, you still have some bits to get but are struggling for inspiration of what to buy that person who has everything then check out my suggestions of perfect Christmas gifts: 1. Theatre break in London - Why not book a couple of nights

Next on our trip was Herculaneum and Mount Vesuvius. I had heard from lots of people that Herculaneum was better preserved than Pompeii due to the nature of the eruption. Pompeii was pelted by volcanic rock and pumice before being buried under the same material whereas Herculaneum was buried under a huge layer of volcanic ash and mud so not sustaining the same level of damage as Pompeii before it

Having never been on a touring holiday before, I wasn’t sure what to expect so arrived at our lovely little hotel in the quaint town of Vico Equense on the Sorrento Coast and was very pleasantly surprised. The Hotel Aequa would be our base for the week and our itinerary that was planned meant that we would travel from our base each day by coach or rail to some of the region’s most iconic places.

I had never driven in the US before. I have driven in many other places, but never felt confident enough to drive such big cars. So I’m glad that I did this time as the driving is so straight forward. I would highly recommend a GPS as it also came with free unlimited Wi-Fi meaning that we always had access to the internet as well as 30 minutes of international calls a day free of charge and 60 min

We continued on to Santa Monica, arriving mid-morning. After a speedy check in at the Meridien Delfina and a quick freshen up we set off through the streets of Santa Monica to the pier where my dream came true! I rode the world famous Ferris Wheel on Santa Monica Pier! I have seen that wheel on so many TV shows and films so to be there was a real memory to treasure. Dream number two wasn’t far beh

We arrived into Christchurch airport just after 9am, a short 50 minute flight from Wellington. Picked up our next car (not so much of a beast but still comfy) and got on the road heading to Kaikoura for our date with the Dusky dolphins the next morning. The views on the drive were amazing… Snowcapped mountains, beautiful blue skies and rolling green hills! It was such a relaxing drive. We were hop

Who knew there was so much to see and do in Auckland? Certainly not me, that’s for sure! We had a fun packed few days visiting various places of interest, on land and water. A day spent in the Auckland Museum exploring New Zealand’s history, a morning spent on Waitemata Harbour sailing under the Auckland Harbour Bridge (wasn’t brave enough to climb it!) and an afternoon wandering the second-hand s

I was lucky enough to get the chance to be on-board the beautiful P&O Britannia just before her launch in March 2015. I am not a seasoned cruiser so it was a great experience to see what cruising is really like. Check in ran smoothly and we passed through security without issue. Boarding a ship is very similar to boarding a plane in terms of security so for someone who hasn't cruised before

Our trip to Malta started with a mid-morning flight onboard Air Malta. The flight was just over 3 hours long and a very comfortable journey. We arrived at Malta International Airport, mid-afternoon (they are 1 hour ahead of the UK) and everything went very smoothly as we passed through immigration taking only around 30 minutes from landing to meeting our tour representative in Arrivals. We boa

I've just returned from a fabulous stay in the resort of Argassi on the beautiful island of Zakynthos. It is such a fantastic island with something for everyone. We stayed at the Diana Place Hotel on an all-inclusive basis which was a first for me in Greece. I normally love to eat out and try different restaurants and bars so it was not my usual choice of accommodation. It turned out to be the

We arrived at Kos Airport in the early hours of the morning and was quickly transferred to our accommodation in Kardamena. It only took 10 minutes and we were in our apartment. We quickly dumped our luggage and headed into the resort to get a drink and some food. We were surprised how much was open as it was approx. 2am! We managed to find an excellent bar on the harbour front, called Crackers wit

My hubby and I decided that, as we had travelled quite extensively around the world, we wanted to see a bit of the UK. After speaking with some friends we decided on a boating holiday to the Norfolk Broads. We were quite stuck with timings as one of the couple's were pregnant and the other couple were getting married later that year so we decided on the beginning of May. Luckily a boating holid

I have been lucky enough to go to Florida many times but the last time I went was to take my husband for his first taste of Florida - and it's now one of his (and my) favourite destinations! If you think that Florida is just for children or that all there is to do is theme parks then you are very much mistaken! We did everything!!! Theme parks, beaches, culture, nature, adventure and much mo
