It's Nice To Meet You
Hi, I’m Elaine – your personal Travel Counsellor!
With 30 years’ experience as cabin crew with one of the UK’s leading leisure airlines and 10 years as a Travel & Tourism lecturer, I’ve been fortunate to explore the world and discover incredible destinations many people never get to see. That passion now drives me to create unforgettable journeys for others.
I’m all about getting to know you—your likes, dislikes, travel dreams, and the little things that make a trip special. Once I understand what you’re looking for, I design completely bespoke holidays that feel personal, relaxed, and totally stress-free.
I specialise in luxury escapes, family adventures, multi-centre itineraries, and activity-based trips, including sporting events like world-class golf holidays and thrilling Grand Prix experiences. Whether it’s a simple getaway or a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, every detail is handled with care and creativity.
Based in Cumbernauld, Glasgow, I’m married with two grown-up children, so I understand how important it is to create holidays that suit every stage of family life. My goal is to take the pressure off, add excitement to your planning, and make sure your next adventure is everything you hoped for—and more.
Your peace of mind matters too. All flight-inclusive holidays are ATOL-protected, and everything else is covered by the Travel Counsellors Trust, so your money is always safe.
With years of experience caring for people, attention to detail, and a genuine love for helping others discover the world, I’m here to remove the stress, add the magic, and deliver a travel experience that’s truly personal from start to finish.
Let’s create something unforgettable together!

Tailor-made for you
Your holiday isn’t just a trip away. It’s a longed-for escape, time to reconnect with loved ones, or a dream adventure you never thought possible. That’s why I take the time to truly get to know you and understand your hopes and expectations, then use my experience, connections and passion for the destination to create a trip that makes those dreams a reality.
Personalised service. Always
When you plan a holiday with me, you’ll be given my personal mobile number from the very first call. I’ll listen to your thoughts and ideas like I would a friend and arrange accommodation, activities, and flights that are all personalised to you. And I’ll share my personal tips and recommendations, so you can experience the true beauty of each destination.
Stress-free travel, and more time for what matters most
I believe your time away should be stress-free, easy, and seamless from start to finish. So, I take care of all the details for you - from ATOL protection, insurance, and flexible payments to access to the myTC app, which keeps everything in one place.
Support when it matters most
If the unexpected happens, you can rest easy, knowing that I’ll handle any last-minute changes, flight cancellations, or disruptions before you even pick up the phone. So you always feel happy, carefree, and ready to make the most of every moment.
