It's Nice To Meet You
I'm Emma and my passion lies in researching and putting together bespoke, tailor made itineraries to make sure your dream trip becomes a reality. Whether your looking to go island hopping in Thailand, rainforest trekking in Brazil, 'find yourself' in Bali or simply just relax on the beach in the Maldives I'll be sure to take care of everything, from the planning stages right through to making sure you have suitable seats on your flight so all you have to worry about is not forgetting your sun cream.
I am a big believer in the personal touches and as your personal Travel Counsellor I really take the time to get to know you; from your favourite trips in the past to whether you have any specific food requirements and everything in between. In doing this I'll be able to put together the perfect trip to you and ensure it is memorable and magical.
As I WFH I am very flexible and so can very much work around you which means I can be available 24/7 to help with any questions or queries you may have. If you prefer to discuss what your looking for in the evening with a glass of wine when the kids are in bed - no problem at all, my flexibility means I can accommodate what works best for you and take the stress out of planning your ideal holiday.
As well as the flexibility of being available 24/7 - prior to your travelling and while you're away - we at Travel Counsellors also offer 100% financial protection so you can be sure you are not only getting the best value for money but that your money is safe.
While some of the holidays I put together may cost a little more - the piece of mind I offer really is priceless - I'll be there every step of the way ensuring your dream trip becomes a reality. If you can dream it - I can book it....

Destination Downlow - The Peloponnese, Greece
A Journey Through History and Beauty This week I’ve been looking at the incredible Peloponnese in Greece as a holiday destination for a client. I always like to look into the history of a place and learn as much about it as I can. The history of the Peloponnese really is fascinating and it gave me the idea to do a bit of a weekly destination downlow looking at a different place every week. Trav
