It's Nice To Meet You
Hello, my name is Elliott, and I am an independent Personal Travel Counsellor based in Edinburgh.
Thank you for visiting my website. I look forward to helping you create unforgettable travel experiences for you and your family—holidays that will be cherished for years to come.
Over the past decade, travel has become an integral part of my life, fueling my passion for the industry. Having explored more than 40 countries—including destinations such as Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, the USA, Morocco, Sri Lanka, the Caribbean, the Philippines, Thailand, New Zealand, Laos, and Cambodia—I've gained extensive experience across regions like Southeast Asia, Australasia, and America. Additionally, I’ve had the privilege of working in five different countries, including spending two years in Australia. Joining Travel Counsellors has allowed me to turn my love for travel into a fulfilling career, where I can share that enthusiasm with you.
When arranging holidays or business trips, I take great care in providing tailored, high-quality service to ensure your journey is seamless and enjoyable. My attention to detail and commitment to delivering exceptional service will ensure that I not only meet your expectations but exceed them.
As an independent Travel Counsellor, I make it a priority to get to know my clients personally, allowing me to craft the perfect trip for you. Based on your interests, I can offer tailored recommendations for your destination, such as local restaurants, bars, activities, walks, and attractions. Rest assured, everything you book with me is fully financially protected, offering you peace of mind throughout your travel.
My service extends beyond the planning phase. I am here to support you every step of the way—before, during, and after your trip. Should anything unexpected arise, I’ll be ready to assist. As a home-based Travel Counsellor, my hours are flexible, but I am available 7 days a week and will always respond to your enquiries within 24 hours.
With my recent travel experience, up-to-date industry knowledge, and access to a wide range of suppliers, hotels, flights, transfers, excursions, and activities, I am committed to providing you with a truly personalized and exceptional holiday experience. No request is too big or small—please don’t hesitate to reach out, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Life: my journey so far (and how I can help you reach your destination)
I really don't want to state the obvious, but for many of us it's been a parlous 18 months or so.
