028 7144 0017Whether you're seeking sand or snow, the sea or a city, long haul or short haul, I am certain you require financial protection and advice that you can trust. As your Personal Travel Counsellor, I confidently guarantee both. Born and raised in Cornwall, I grew up immersed in tourism and was fortunate to enjoy many holidays as a child. These experiences sparked my passion for travel and my drive to explore new places and cultures. After obtaining a Distinction in Travel and Tourism, I secured a Holiday Representative position with TUI in Lanzarote. After a season, I returned to Cornwall and worked in Events Operation and Wedding Coordination at a local hotel before heading back overseas as a Concierge for Sovereign Holidays. I provided a 5*, 24/7 Concierge Service in Tenerife and then continued to do a further season in Cyprus. Following my time with Sovereign, I was offered a Guest Services/Duty Manager position at The Annabelle Hotel, Paphos, where I spent a further two years before sailing the Eastern Caribbean as a Social & Welfare Host for Marella Cruises. Now, as a Travel Counsellor, I combine all my previous experiences to provide a high-quality service I am extremely proud to offer you. I am available at your convenience, no matter your location, and constantly strive to exceed expectations by providing the highest level of personalised customer service, honest advice, and attention to detail. I take pride in building a rapport with my customers to tailor-make holidays that fulfil all individual requirements, creating memories of a lifetime. Through my experience, I am aware that obstacles can arise during travel. I have personally dealt with a spectrum of scenarios, from a simple flight delay to COVID-19 on a cruise ship. You can trust my calm and collected manner and have confidence that I will be there for you every step of the way. In recent years, I have travelled extensively with my business throughout Bali, the Nusa Islands, Gili Island, Singapore, Thailand, and Malaysia. This first-hand experience allows me to enhance my clients' travel experiences while fuelling my own passion for exploration and adding that personal touch to every client interaction. Some of my all-time favourite destinations are New York, Curacao, Singapore, Nusa Lembongan, and some of the lesser-known islands in the south of Thailand. ‘A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step’ - Lao Tzu That step can be as simple as contacting me using one of the methods below or following my adventures on social media to see if any destinations catch your eye. I hope to hear from you and assist with booking your holiday very soon! Best wishes, Carol -

I’m Rachel, your dedicated Travel Counsellor based in Redditch, helping busy professionals, couples and families plan holidays that feel effortless from start to finish. With over 20 years’ experience organising complex travel and events, I understand that great travel is about far more than simply booking flights and hotels. It’s about creating experiences that suit your pace, priorities and style - while knowing every detail has been carefully taken care of. Travel has always been a huge part of my life. I’ve lived abroad, travelled extensively across Europe, Asia, North Africa and North America, and come from a truly international family. Those experiences have given me a genuine appreciation for different cultures, meaningful experiences, and the little details that turn a good holiday into an unforgettable one. As a parent myself, I also understand the realities of travelling as a family and the importance of getting every detail right - from flight timings and hotel locations to making the whole experience as smooth and stress-free as possible. How I Can Help: Personalised Planning Every holiday I create is tailored around you your travel style, interests, pace and budget. Expert Guidance From destination ideas to practical travel advice, I’ll help you make confident, informed decisions every step of the way.

07815 814798Hello, and welcome — I’m truly delighted you’re here. I’m Kirstie Timmins, your personal Travel Counsellor, and the person who turns “I’d love to go someday…” into “I can’t believe we’re actually doing this.” My passion is crafting beautifully personalised journeys for travellers who want more than a typical holiday — they want something thoughtful, effortless, and genuinely unforgettable. In a world full of search engines and generic “best deals,” I offer something different: a calm, considered, boutique service where your experience comes first. No endless scrolling. No overwhelm. No one-size-fits-all itineraries. We begin with a conversation — about what inspires you, the little luxuries you love, how you like to travel, and the moments that turn a trip into a treasured memory. From there, I design a bespoke itinerary shaped with intention, whether it’s a luxury cruise, a hidden-gem retreat, an immersive cultural journey, or something entirely unique to you. My service is warm, flexible, and deeply personal. Want to explore ideas over coffee? Prefer a relaxed chat at home or in your favourite local pub? Absolutely. And once your adventure begins, I’m always just a call away — whether you need reassurance, recommendations, or even directions to the airport (yes, really!). My clients don’t come to me simply to “book a holiday.” They come for peace of mind, for thoughtful detail, and for travel experiences crafted exclusively for them. If you’re dreaming of something extraordinary — something that feels elevated, meaningful, and entirely your own — I’d love to bring it to life. Shall we begin your next unforgettable escape? -

My love of travel began when I was young, and it wasn't long before it became my career. With 36 years in the travel industry, I still love helping people discover the world. My journey started in my brother's pioneering LGBTQ+ tour operator business, where I began by folding T-shirts before progressing into sales and management. Working in LGBTQ+ travel during the 1990s, when the industry looked very different, taught me the importance of listening, understanding every client's individual needs and creating holidays where everyone feels welcome. Since 2006, I've had the privilege of running my own travel business, helping clients plan everything from family celebrations and honeymoons to luxury escapes, tailor-made adventures and once-in-a-lifetime journeys across the globe. For me, travel is never just about booking flights and hotels. It's about getting to know you, sharing honest advice and taking care of every detail, so you can travel with complete confidence. Whether you're planning a weekend city break, a luxury beach escape, a bucket-list adventure or a complex multi-centre itinerary, I'll use my experience, industry connections and personal service to create a holiday that's every bit as special as you've imagined. The world is full of extraordinary places. I'd love to help you discover your next one. -

I’m Allison, your personal Travel Counsellor and I’m based in a pretty coastal village, right on the famous Antrim Coast Road, where I live with my husband and son. Our family love adventures, and travel is a huge part of our lives. We've lived for short periods in Australia and Grenada, and I'm also a complete Florida geek! I love islands and my favourite, to date, is Bermuda. Alongside my previous travel industry experience as Cabin Crew, my love of travel and extensive personal travel, led me to become a Travel Counsellor. Every holiday or trip is precious time away and memories made, so I believe your holiday should be precisely curated, specific and individually tailored for you. As a Travel Counsellor, I will never simply provide you with the one size fits all package. I have access to an extensive range of travel options and trusted partners, meaning I can provide individual solutions and your perfect bespoke holiday. It’s also important to me to know that your travel is completely financially protected through ATOL and the Travel Counsellors Trust. I will help you with every aspect of future travel and holiday planning, building long-term relationships to ensure every trip matches your expectations: summer and winter sunshine escapes, worldwide tailor-made itineraries, cruises, city breaks, ski holidays, UK and Ireland short breaks and stays, and destination weddings and honeymoons. Additionally, I can personally tailor more specialised travel itineraries. As an Archaeology and Palaeoecology graduate, I understand and can curate archaeological tours or geo-tourism adventures. I can also organise sailing charters for both beginner and experienced sailors, ski group holidays, historical and cultural city breaks, and literary inspired travel. We all lead busy lives and holiday planning must fit around work, families and other everyday commitments. That’s why I’m available outside ‘normal’ office hours during the week and at weekends, so we can chat at a pre-arranged time that suits you!

Travel has been a significant part of my life since I took a road trip around Eastern Europe at 18. Since then, I’ve visited 73 countries and counting! Each experience shaping my expertise. I spent four years living in San Francisco, exploring the U.S, which remains one of my favourite destinations for it's variety.

Some of my most unforgettable travel experiences include hiking in the Himalayas, skydiving in New Zealand, camping in Namibia’s wilderness, journeying from Peru to Argentina, road-tripping across the U.S, immersing myself in Japan’s culture, watching wildlife in Africa and Yellowstone National Park, living on a yoga ashram in India, flying over Hawaii’s Na Pali Coast in a helicopter, getting married on the Amalfi Coast, meeting the warm-hearted people of Burma, witnessing a Hawksbill sea turtle lay her eggs in the Seychelles, and relaxing in a luxury over-water villa in the Maldives.

01332 438717Welcome to Travel Counsellors! It's a real pleasure to introduce myself and I'm really looking forward to hearing about your travel aspirations! I had one dream as a young man: Travel the world to learn and experience as much about this beautiful planet as I possibly could. I began that quest by achieving a Diploma in Travel Studies and in the years that passed, the desire to fulfil my mission never diminished. I 'backpacked' whenever and wherever the mood took me and built my industry knowledge working extensively within the world of travel agencies, airlines and tour operations over many years. Experiencing life living in places such as Australia, Greece, Cyprus and 9 years in Spain only served to enhance this knowledge. Fast forward to present day and, as an independent Travel Counsellor, I now have the opportunity to give something back to my customers. Relying on decades of experience to help them choose, plan and execute their travel dreams is the greatest of pleasures. I care about what and where they book with me and I just love listening to their stories when they return home. Your holiday is my holiday too. My service is bespoke. It is tailored to those looking for a service that gives them an experience from the very first conversation and removes the 'transactional' nature of booking a trip. I have access to fares and pricing that are not always available to traditional agents and you're not restricted by 'pre-packaged' deals, which don't always fully cater for what you really want. Knowing that someone cares about your plans and is there for you throughout the whole process, brings you a service that is second to none. Finally, a Travel Counsellor booking is 100% financially protected. No ifs, no buts! Just peace of mind from the very beginning. Take a look at some of the great itineraries below for inspiration and/or send me a message about where your travel dreams are leading you next. I'd love the opportunity to talk with you about how I can help you turn them into a reality alongside industry leading service. -

0115 832 0090Being a Travel Counsellor isn’t just my job, it is my absolute passion! I have always been intrigued by exploring new destinations and sampling different cultures and have been fortunate enough to experience some amazing trips. I therefore appreciate first-hand how important it is to make memories that last a lifetime. After obtaining my degree in International Tourism Management at Leeds, I took a gap year to embark on a world trip. Travelling through Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and America gave me a wealth of first-hand knowledge. Soon after my return, I joined an award-winning travel company in order to continue to indulge my love of travel. I was then fortunate enough to tick many more destinations off my bucket list, with highlights being visits to Iguassu Falls in Brazil, the Taj Mahal in India and viewing the Big 5 in South Africa. I spent 9 years working as a Tailor-made Travel Consultant and Supervisor. My expertise lies in First & Business travel although I’m more than happy to arrange any type of trip. What I love most about working for Travel Counsellors is that I am able to take time to truly get to know you on a personal level and understand exactly what your requirements are. I can then tailor-make a unique and bespoke itinerary especially for you. Booking a holiday is a very personal (and I believe exciting) experience so it’s imperative to get it right! As an independent agent, I have the freedom and flexibility to find you the perfect holiday match as well as offer you impartial advice along the way. I have no ties or loyalties with specific suppliers – my loyalties lie firmly with you. My Mission is to always exceed your expectations. I will offer you an unparalleled level of customer service which in turn will add enormous value to your whole holiday experience. Nothing is too much trouble. I work from my home office in Beeston so have the time and flexibility to devote to you, whatever time of the day you need it. As a busy working mum of 3 young children myself, I fully understand that standard office hours are not always convenient! So whether it’s a luxurious Safari in South Africa, a motorhome self-drive through New Zealand, a cruise around the Mediterranean, or even a simple (yet much needed) family beach holiday, please get in touch. I would love to help you plan your next adventure! -

I live for my holidays, love exploring new places and seeing other cultures, often having an adventure. For my own holidays, I always build in some relaxation time as well. In recent years, I have visited many European countries, most of the Far East, China, America and most recently, a holiday of a lifetime in Costa Rica, including the most glamorous glamping you can imagine! Before becoming a Travel Counsellor, I had spent most of my time in customer service positions. It is important to me to get to know you sufficiently well to find out what you like. How important to you is comfort, relaxation, activities, exploring on your own or part of a group, local culture, climate and so on? I’ll talk at a time that suits you. Most people think about their holidays out of shop opening hours, so do I. The end result of that is a tailor-made holiday where you don’t have to take the rough with the smooth. You just do what you want to do. My ambition is for you to want to come back to me. I’m just here to make it easy for you to create your own happy memories.

Whether it’s an all-inclusive family sun holiday, a solo adventure or anything in between I am here for you, your friends and family. My passion for travel started early when I backpacked through India and Sri Lanka, ending my adventure with a week in the Maldives. Since that journey eighteen years ago, I find solace in all travel whether it be dining barefoot on the sands of the Caribbean, wandering cobble lanes through historic European cities or the sensory overload as I take in the bustle of everyday life in the Far East. I feel very fortunate to have been to some incredible destinations so far and if I had to name just two stand out experiences, it would be India with Argentina & Brazil as a twin-centre holiday. I immersed myself into the backpacker way of life in India. Waking each morning with a loose plan of where I was heading, finding amazing eateries on side streets all whilst taking recommendations from people I meet along the way. I’m still mesmerised by the people, the history and culture of India. My first experience of South America was venturing from Buenos Aires to Rio De Janeiro via Iguazu Falls. One word sums up my experience, WOW! From the outstanding natural beauty of Argentina to the colourful festivities of Carnival in Rio, this is a trip I’ll never forget. I know just how important seamless planning, booking and travelling abroad is. I also understand the travel landscape changes and using a trusted travel agent makes all the difference. This is where I help, from our initial meeting the focus is all about you, your ideas and what will make your holiday perfect from the get-go. I can assist with hotels, car hire, flights, ski, cruise, fly & drive & island hopping. You name it, I will make it possible bringing your dream holiday to life.

I have spent years planning my own trips: building itineraries, searching out those special experiences and turning time away into holidays to remember. For me, life is too short not to grab every moment, try new things and, above all, be kind and share the love. That is exactly the energy I bring to planning your travels. I love the personal side of what I do: getting to know you and your family, understanding what makes you tick and what you want from your next adventure. Whether it is a dream cruise, apres ski escape, winter sun or an all‑out adventure, we will work together to create your perfect getaway. I take away the stress of endless scrolling and conflicting reviews so you can focus on the fun part and enjoy a truly personalised experience. And yes, I absolutely love hearing all the best bits when you get home. When you book with me, you receive a completely bespoke and personal service. I will take the time to listen, create thoughtful options and look after you throughout: from our first chat, while you are away and when you return. I appreciate that life can be crazy busy - rest assured I can be available at times to suit you. You also have the reassurance of Travel Counsellors’ financial protection, personal touch, peace of mind, the myTC app and our 24/7 Duty Office. Some of my own favourite memories include eloping to Finland in 2019 for a white wedding, exploring its ski resorts and Helsinki in winter, and celebrating my husband’s big birthday in the Maldives. Both are high on my list, but I have also loved simple pleasures like caravanning and travelling around England - there is so much to explore! Wherever you go, I believe life is for living and creating new memories. If you would like to chat about your next adventure or need a little inspiration, I would love to hear from you.

My own travels have taken me to Venice on board the Orient Express, swimming with dolphins in Bermuda, sailing the Norwegian fjords, sampling afternoon tea at the Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong, arriving in Monaco by helicopter and marvelling at a performance of Cinderella at the Mariinsky Theatre in St Petersburg. My travel inspiration started from a young age when I lived in the south of France and East Germany for a year as part of my language degree. Later, a sabbatical in South Africa saw me volunteering at a wildlife rehabilitation centre while exploring Gauteng and Limpopo provinces. I am also a self-confessed USA enthusiast, with particular expertise in California—having visited 17 times—and designing bespoke road trips. Every itinerary I create is entirely tailored to your tastes, budget and sense of adventure. A passionate foodie, I take great pleasure in enhancing each trip with carefully chosen dining recommendations and reservations. My attention to detail, industry insight and calm, considered approach ensure every holiday is thoughtfully planned and seamlessly executed—something reflected in the loyalty of my clients and consistent positive feedback. I was born & bred in Horsham, West Sussex and after London adopting me for 15 years, returned to my home roots with my husband and dog Sammie. My personal circumstances allow me to work flexible hours and I am more than happy to discuss travel plans outside of normal office hours.

Having spent the last 5 years living in Dubai I would say that the UAE is my area or expertise. However, whilst living there I had the opportunity to visit many other fabulous destinations; Borneo, Bali, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Thailand, Mauritius, Maldives and the Seychelles. After meeting my husband in Dubai, we chose the Seychelles to tie the knot, so I have a particular passion for destination weddings and of course honeymoons!

01372 240 025A very warm welcome to my web page, I am delighted to have you here. I am a Travel Counsellor with over 30 years of experience in the industry, both in leisure and corporate business travel. I have travelled all over the globe from as long as I can remember, and at the age of 20, backpacked around the world taking in North America, The Pacific Islands, Australasia, Asia and the Middle East over a 10-month period and upon my return decided that I wanted a future career in the travel industry. I have spent the last 25 years with my previous travel company and built up a client base initially in leisure and then later with corporate business travel mainly through networking and word of mouth. In June 2019, I started a new path working from home as a Travel Counsellor and will endeavour to offer the same high level of service and professionalism as with all my previous roles. So, if I can be of assistance with any of your travel requirements, please do not hesitate to contact me. -

I joined Travel Counsellors as I wanted to concentrate on giving my customers the highest possible levels of personal service and independent travel advice. We give you the opportunity of selecting your holiday from the comfort of your own home, coupled with a degree of expertise you will not find elsewhere. Travel Counsellors is one of the largest independent travel agencies in the UK. As your own professional Travel Counsellor I can use our award winning technology and my personal expertise to tailor make exactly the right holiday to suit your needs. Rather than selling you a standard tour operator package, I can quickly search through hundreds of different flight, accommodation and transfer alternatives to find something that suits your needs exactly. Quite often this means I can build you a bespoke holiday at a cheaper price than the standard holiday package you might get elsewhere. So whether you just need a flight to Barcelona or a last minute holiday to Florida I can help and of course I can help with any other travel arrangements you may have, including holiday car hire and holiday insurance. My aim is to build long term partnerships with all my clients based on trust, understanding and the honesty of independent advice and I will offer you the best value available from a wider range of operators than any high street agency can offer. I can provide you with any details you require quickly by email or telephone, I work flexible hours so can be contacted when you need me. My business is based purely on providing my customers with the highest possible levels of personal service and I would be delighted to assist you with your holiday plans.

07781 428662My name is Nicki Harrison and I'm a Travel Counsellor based in Guernsey. I provide a personal travel service using my years of experience as a travel agent, valued customer feedback and the award-winning technology provided by Travel Counsellors to create unique travel itineraries that will leave you with stories to last a lifetime. A quote that truly resonates with me is one from Ibn Battuta... “Travelling – it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.” I have a myriad of wonderful stories to share thanks to the travels I've been so lucky to enjoy, and I love to hear your stories in return. I aim to provide the best service I can to our Guernsey community, but my service is much more than just making a booking. I'll be on hand to help you with all the little touches that will make your trip special and just a message or call away should you need any help while abroad. As a born and bred Guernsey donkey, I understand the needs of local travellers and aim to make the world feel that little bit more accessible. My goal is to be approachable and inclusive, an ethos that's based around the idea of togetherness... working with you to bring the destinations on your bucket list that little bit closer. At every step of your travel journey, you will receive the best care I can offer. I'll always take the time to get to know you and what will make your trip extra special. From visiting you at home or at a favoured cafe to start chatting about your plans, to getting all the arrangements sorted, making sure any dietary, medical or mobility needs are taken care of, delivering your tickets and then catching up when you get home. Becoming a mum in 2024 also opened my eyes to the world of family travel and the priorities of parents. Whether you have a youngster like me or travelling as part of a multi-generational party, I can help to make sure everyone's needs are catered for. Shortly after starting my career in travel, I have been developing my interest in special occasion holidays such as weddings and honeymoons. I hold a City & Guilds qualification in Travel & Tourism as well as an online diploma in Wedding and Event Management and have spent years helping couples from all walks of life to arrange memorable trips to celebrate their special moments. Whether it's a short city break or an around the world adventure, the key to building the perfect trip is in the detail and I hope to be able to help create an authentic, bespoke itinerary just for you soon. As your personal Travel Counsellor, I want to ensure your holiday is ‘once in a lifetime’ every time. -

Whether it's a relaxing beach escape, a luxury getaway, a family adventure or a once-in-a-lifetime journey, I believe travel creates memories that last forever.

01302543433Every unforgettable journey begins with an idea. The magic happens when someone helps shape it. I am Sue Katuszonek and I help people plan thoughtful, well organised holidays that feel special from the very start. With more than 30 years of experience in travel, tourism and hospitality, I offer a personal travel planning service for busy people who want more than just a standard booking. MY AIM IS SIMPLE : TRAVEL SHOULD FEEL PROPERLY PLANNED, NOT JUST BOOKED. I specialise in cruises, honeymoons, Disney holidays, ski trips and tailor made multi‑destination travel for clients looking for something memorable and carefully put together. Originally from Tickhill in Doncaster and now splitting my time between the UK and Austria, travel has shaped both my career and everyday life for many years. Alongside planning holidays for clients, I still occasionally work on the ground in resort in Austria, supporting guests and seeing first hand the real side of travel: airport arrivals, transfers, excursions, accessibility needs and the small details that can make or break a holiday experience. That real world experience allows me to bring a practical, personal and knowledgeable approach to every trip I plan, from ski holidays in Austria to tailor made itineraries in destinations such as Japan and the United States, where the details and routing really matter. Over the years, I have seen just how reassuring it is for clients to have somebody experienced guiding them through the process and looking after everything properly from start to finish. My goal is always to make travel feel exciting, seamless and genuinely well looked after. And the best part: there is no extra charge for my planning service or support, just the reassurance of having somebody experienced in your corner throughout the process. If you are looking for personal service, honest advice and somebody who genuinely cares about getting your trip right, I would be delighted to help. And of course, you do not have to just take my word for it: you can read my client testimonials below. -

01327 770 048Welcome everyone. I’m Deborah and I live in South Northants close to Milton Keynes along with my husband Steve and son Sebastian. My interest in travel was sparked at the age of 12 by a school project about ancient Egypt. I was fascinated and promised myself that I would one day see this mysterious place for myself and that I would definitely have a career in travel. I have done both and have had the most amazing time working in the travel retail sector as a travel consultant and a store manager and I have won various awards both individually and as part of the teams I have been fortunate to work with over the years. Consequently I have had 40 years of holidays and work trips (all in the line of duty) and therefore have a wealth of knowledge of this wonderful world which I love to share with my customers. I have enjoyed everywhere I have visited but my favourite is Italy so much so that we have bought a little renovation project down in Puglia. Otherwise I have such special memories of family holidays to Disney, Lapland, beautiful beach breaks across most of Europe, exciting city breaks around the world, Caribbean treats, relaxing and indulgent cruises, and tailor made trips to Canada, the Far East, USA, Brazil, New Zealand and Australia. I look forward to hearing about your experiences and helping you plan your next adventure. I will work tirelessly to find the perfect holiday and look for ways to make it extra special.

I joined Travel Counsellors in 2006 and before that I worked for a number of blue chip travel organisations, predominantly in business travel. I joined Travel Counsellors as I wanted to concentrate on giving my customers the highest possible levels of personal service and independent travel advice. Travel Counsellors is one of the largest independent travel agencies in the UK. As your own professional Travel Counsellor I can use our award winning technology and my personal expertise to tailor make exactly the right holiday to suit your needs. Rather than selling you a standard tour operator package, I can quickly search through hundreds of different flight, accommodation and transfer alternatives to find something that suits your needs exactly. Quite often this means I can build you a bespoke holiday at a cheaper price than the standard holiday package you might get elsewhere. Travel Counsellors recognises that not everyone is free to discuss their travel arrangements during the working week. My company’s award winning technology enables me to work from home and means you can contact me at times when most other travel agents are unavailable, including evenings and weekends. I have a vast personal experience of many destinations including Europe, Africa, Middle East, North & South America, Caribbean and the Far East. I can help you arrange any part of your travel arrangements – so whether you just need a flight to Barcelona or a last minute holiday to Florida I can help. As part of a large organisation I can also have access to great deals on accommodation, so if you need to know the best Paris hotels for a last minute holiday to France, or the best Dubai hotels for a luxurious weekend in the sun please contact me. Of course I can also help with any other travel arrangements you may have, including holiday car hire and holiday insurance. My business is based purely on providing my customers with the highest possible levels of personal service and I would be delighted to assist you with your holiday plans.

0191 4328670Hi .... I'm Christine, 18 years a Travel Counsellor. My career in travel has spanned several decades. Before I became a Travel Counsellor, many of my clients will remember me from my very first job in travel working in Fenwick Travel Bureau where I spent 14 happy years before heading up our flagship Travel Agency in the newly opened Metro Centre. I then worked in two independent agents in Jesmond and Gosforth, the latter speacialising in group travel. As you can imagine, I have seen many changes in the world of travel. But I still believe that giving a high level of professional service is extremely important. Whether booking a single flight or a complicated tailor made itinerary, I strive always to pay the closest attention to my client's wishes. Travel Counselllors have given me the unique opportunity to do this with complete partiality and flexibility. Having my clients' best interest in heart means prioritising their needs and ensuring that with careful planning their travel plans meet their personal requirements. I have travelled extensively throughout the world and understand th importance of experience and first hand knowledge when planning my customers trips. One can never underestimate the value of first hand experience! I have travelled to most of Europoe and really enjoy city breaks. I hold a great affection for many places but my "go to "country is Italy. I holiday every year in this beautiful country and have travelled extensively from top to toe, taking advantage of their fantastic train network. Over the last 12 years my heart has also been captured by Classical Spain. My son lives in Madrid and I have grown to love the Spanish culture - so many medieval cities steeped in the most interesting history - there is so much more to Spain than the Costas ! My travels also take me to many langhaul destinations. USA is another of my great loves, especially Arizona and Western USA. India, Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong, Cuba, Caribbean Islands, South Africa, Kenya, Australia - some of the many countires I have been very fortunate to visit. I have skied throught Europe and America and enjoyed cycling in Europe and Cuba. Being a Travel Counsellor gives me a great opportunity to offer a professional, impartial service to my clients and all with the financial backing and tremendous support of a great company. And I can do all this at a time convenient to you. So whatever your needs, please ring me for first hand advice. Whether it be cruising, skiing, family holidays or a bespoke tailor made trip, city break ... the list is endless! And finally, as Michael Palin once famously stated "Once the travel bug bites, there is no known antidote and I know I shall be happily infected until the end of my life " Please give me a call - I live to pass on my knowledge and experience in crafting your trip, no matter how small. -

Since then, I’ve worked across a range of roles, from call centres to shopfronts, gaining a deep understanding of travel planning, customer service, and the importance of getting every detail just right. As my career evolved, I found my passion in luxury travel, discovering that luxury means something different to everyone, and that TRUST means everything. I’ve worked with high-net-worth individuals, global financial institutions and airline partners, arranging everything from first-class flights and private jets to bespoke leisure experiences across the world. I’ve had the privilege of visiting destinations such as Mauritius, Dubai, Thailand, Jamaica, Barbados, Indonesia and Singapore - and I bring that first hand insight into every itinerary I design. Whether you're after flights, hotels, full holiday packages, immersive experiences, or custom tours, I’m here to support you every step of the way - from your first enquiry to your safe return home. Let’s have a chat and start planning your next journey! -

01452 290 029Hello, I’m Ella, your personal travel designer, and a very warm welcome to my page. My love of travel started with childhood camping adventures to the south of France and quickly grew into journeys that took me much further afield. I still remember the sense of anticipation before every trip and the thrill of walking into the airport, knowing an unforgettable experience awaited. That feeling has never left me and it is exactly what I want my clients to enjoy on every journey I create for them. Over the years I have travelled extensively across the world, from Italy’s great cities and Sardinian coastlines to chic corners of France such as the Côte d’Azur, Paris and beyond. I have wandered along Amsterdam’s canals and immersed myself in its world‑class museums and galleries. Further afield, some of my favourite memories come from long‑haul journeys: exploring Cambodia and Vietnam, discovering Thailand, road‑tripping across Australia, New Zealand and the USA, and experiencing iconic cities like New York, San Francisco and Las Vegas, as well as the beaches of Florida, California and Hawaii. I am a certified expert in travel to Australia, Sri Lanka, India, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Florida and South America. I am also a CLIA Cruise Expert and have cruised throughout the world with a variety of premium and luxury cruise lines, so my insight and first‑hand knowledge of cruising is second to none. Whether you are looking for an ultra‑luxury ocean voyage, a family‑friendly sailing or a sophisticated way to explore multiple destinations in one trip, I can guide you to the ships, suites and itineraries that best suit your style. Many of these adventures have been with my husband and our three children, so I truly understand the logistics and subtleties of travelling with different ages and stages, from young children to grown‑up families. I believe travel is one of the greatest gifts we can give our children: it shapes character, builds confidence and opens their eyes to different cultures, while allowing us as adults to see the world again through their excited, curious gaze. Today, I specialise in crafting bespoke itineraries and luxury escapes for discerning clients who value their time and appreciate a highly personal, detail‑driven service. Whether it is a business or first class multi‑centre itinerary, a private island retreat, a villa for an extended family celebration, a once‑in‑a‑lifetime adventure or a series of carefully curated trips throughout the year, I take the time to understand what matters most to you and design every element around that. From hand‑picked hotels and exclusive experiences to private transfers and tailored recommendations, I quietly manage every detail so your travel feels effortless, from the first conversation to your return home. My aim is simple: to give you complete confidence, exceptional value for your investment and holidays that feel every bit as special as the memories you will bring back. My favourite quote is by Mark Twain, and it underpins the way I approach travel for myself and my clients: “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So, throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. EXPLORE. DREAM. DISCOVER.” If you are ready to invest in remarkable journeys and unforgettable experiences, I would be delighted to design your next escape. -

01202 737 101Hi, I'm Kerry .... Holidays by Kerry ;) Based in beautiful Parkstone on the South Coast, I help clients across the UK create unforgettable holidays, flying from regional and international airports nationwide. As an independent Travel Counsellor, I offer something that's becoming increasingly rare - genuine personal service. Because I work from home, I'm available outside the usual 9-5, making it easy to chat when it suits you, whether that's by phone, WhatsApp, email, text or Messenger. Many of my clients return to me year after year, and I'm proud that so much of my business now comes from personal recommendations. There's no greater compliment than knowing someone has enjoyed their holiday so much that they recommend me to their family and friends. If you're here, you're probably thinking about your next holiday... and you've come to the right place. I've worked in travel for many years, starting my career with Thomas Cook before moving to Daish's Holidays in Bournemouth and in February 2020, I became an independent travel agent, It wasn't the easiest time to launch a travel business, but it proved just how important personal service really is. Throughout the pandemic, every one of my clients received the support they needed, and every client eventually enjoyed the holiday they'd been waiting for. Many of those clients are still travelling with me today. Travel has always been my passion, and I believe first-hand experience makes all the difference. From watching the Northern Lights in Canada's Yukon and relaxing in the Maldives, to exploring Walt Disney World Florida, enjoying safari adventures in South Africa, island hopping through Greece and Croatia, cruising Europe's coastlines and snowmobiling through Lapland, every trip gives me knowledge and inspiration that I pass on to my clients. Whether you're planning a luxury honeymoon, an epic road trip, a magical Disney holiday, a relaxing beach escape, a cruise, a family holiday or simply a well-earned long weekend away, I'll take the time to understand exactly what you're looking for and create a holiday that's perfect for you. Because I'm independent within Travel Counsellors, I'm not tied to one airline or tour operator. That means I can tailor every itinerary to suit your needs, combining the best flights, hotels and experiences into one seamless holiday package, all with the reassurance of ATOL protection where applicable and 24/7 support while you're away. Some of my favourite holidays to create include: • Luxury tailor-made holidays & honeymoons • Maldives, Mauritius & The Seychelles dream holidays. • USA & Canadian adventures • Walt Disney World Florida • Greek & Croatia island hopping • Lapland & Northern Lights experiences • Cruises, family holidays, city breaks and beach escapes I also love sharing my own travel experiences, along with holiday inspiration, offers and destination tips, so don't forget to follow my Facebook page (Holidays by Kerry) Where I'm travelling next... ✈ June 2026 – Florida & Walt Disney World ✈ September 2026 – Liberty Signa, Turkey ✈ October 2026 – MSC Cruise to Ireland ✈ April 2027 – Norwegian Fjords aboard P&O Arvia Wherever you're dreaming of, let's make it happen together. I'm looking forward to helping you create your next unforgettable holiday. -

01925 950048Hi everyone, Welcome to my page! My name is Gaynor, and I live in Southampton, Hampshire with my husband, Paul !. From an early age, travel has always been a passion of mine, and whilst I started my working life in Retail, Travel was always a big part of my life - I was always the one out of my girlfriends to look for holidays, the one my parents turned to for 'where shall we go this year' advice, and then latterly the natural choice once I had a family with, 'Mum, can we go here?? ...' So imagine how lucky I felt when I was able to follow my heart, and I now have over 25 years' experience in the Travel Industry, with visits to over 60 countries and destinations! We're not meant to stay in one place, are we?....... Being able to travel and experience things beyond the 'everyday' is exciting - can be challenging - but ultimately fulfilling. We all dream of feeling the warm air on our face as soon as we step out of the plane, or that first step onto the beach feeling the sand in our toes, or the smells and tastes we associate with being on holiday and trying something for the very first time....... Which is where I can help - I can apply all my years of 'experiences' and help you fulfil yours, be it a fun-filled action-packed weekend break in that city you've always wanted to visit, a recharging break at a Spa or country retreat, that longed-for Beach or Cruise getaway, or even to tick off a 'bucket list' trip, I'm here, and I can make all those dreams of finding new places to explore, and new people and cultures to experience, become a reality. I will look after you from your initial enquiry stage to your return, every step of the way, ensuring the worry, stress and time spent trawling through endless confusing and unfriendly websites becomes a thing of the past ! I'm also lucky to be part of an award-winning company that has shown how, and what it means to look after it's clients - we didn't come Top of a recent MoneySavingExpert Poll for nothing! Your money is safe with us - it's 100% financially protected in our Trust, along with ATOL Protection, and a flexible booking policy. You can also forget about long call centre queues, as you have a direct link straight through to me, 24/7, either phone, email or Social Media. I work from home, so I'm available when it suits you, so I guess you can refer to me as your very own Travel Concierge ! So, please drop a line when you're ready - I can't wait to hear from you !

+44 151 404 9865Hi, I’m Jacob, your Personal Travel Counsellor. I live on the Wirral with my husband, our dog and our little girl, although my roots are in sunny Margate, so I’m proud to look after clients across both the North West and Kent. Travel has been a huge part of my life (both professionally and personally) and after more than 14 years in the industry I still enjoy discovering somewhere new. I've been lucky enough to live and work in Turkey, Spain and Greece before returning to the UK, where my career has taken me through TUI and Hays Travel. I managed successful branches in Heswall after previous roles in Canterbury, Cheshire Oaks and Chester, before moving into the world of luxury, tailor-made travel. That experience reinforced something I'd always believed as well: great holidays come from understanding the people travelling and not just finding the cheapest deal. Today, I create bespoke holidays across Europe, the Caribbean, the Middle East and the Indian Ocean, as well as luxury cruises, city breaks and multi-centre itineraries. I work with couples, families, solo travellers and groups, taking the time to understand what's important to them before making recommendations. Every itinerary starts from scratch because no two clients travel in the same way. I've watched the Northern Lights dance across the Icelandic sky, stood beneath the Eiffel Tower, the Leaning Tower of Pisa and Chichen Itza, relaxed on the white sands of the Virgin Islands, wandered the streets of Oia in Santorini and cruised the Caribbean and Mediterranean. Every trip teaches me something new that I can pass on to my clients. Florida is one of the destinations I know best. I've visited five times and have built up first-hand knowledge of Walt Disney World Resort, Universal Orlando Resort and the wider Orlando area. Disney holidays are one of my specialisms. I regularly help families plan everything like choosing the right Disney Resort hotel & understanding Lightning Lane or dining reservations, ticket options and how many park days they really need. If Universal Epic Universe is on your list, or you're thinking about adding Disney Cruise Line or a Caribbean cruise to your holiday, I can help you decide what works best and what's genuinely worth your money. Alongside my wider travel business, I co-founded SEN.sational Escapes with my husband Luke, a SEN-qualified Early Years Manager. We support families travelling with autism, ADHD, sensory needs, hidden disabilities and complex dietary requirements by helping plan ahead. That could mean arranging airport assistance, speaking with hotels before arrival, requesting suitable room locations or making sure the right support is in place before you travel. It's often the small details that make the biggest difference. But enough about me. The first question I ask isn't where you want to go, it's what you want from your holiday. Once I understand that, I can recommend destinations, hotels and experiences that fit. Some clients want complete luxury, others are planning their first Disney holiday, a special cruise or a once-in-a-lifetime trip. My job is to make the planning straightforward, give honest advice and be there before, during and after you travel. If you're looking for a Personal Travel Counsellor on the Wirral or in Thanet with experience in luxury holidays, cruises, Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando and accessible family travel, I'd love to help you plan your next adventure. -

Having worked in travel for over 20 years, I think it’s safe to say that I’ve seen it all! I’m a great problem solver – there is always a solution!

This level of care, combined with an obsessive attention to detail and excellent business travel knowledge, means I can offer a truly personal service and make your business travel as easy, cost-effective and enjoyable an experience as possible. I have worked with a wide range of clients (from sole traders to global organisations) across most industries, ranging from Olympic teams, to management consultants, to entertainment venues. I can offer full account management services, including reporting, cost savings analysis and travel policy guidance. Being part of Travel Counsellors means I have the freedom and flexibility to truly focus on providing this exceptional service, whilst having the support, 24/7 assistance and financial protection for clients that Travel Counsellors offer. I am also passionate about travelling more sustainably and helping clients reduce their carbon footprint. I can offer creative solutions to do this, such as train travel instead of flights, combining destinations in the most efficient manner, and ensuring your hotels are in the most convenient location thus minimising local travel. Personally, I have travelled to 48 countries – the highlights being long overland trips from Canada down to Honduras, and from Singapore across China and Russia all the way back to London. Nowadays I’m happy to stay closer to home – travelling by train down to the Alps for family skiing holidays, or driving up to the Highlands with our bikes, along with occasional trips to visit family in Australia. Please don’t hesitate to contact me to discuss how I can help you with your business travel. -

In what was supposed to be a stopgap between a career switch, I found a position in a busy travel agency reservations department. That was 26 years ago. It turned out that was exactly what I loved to do. During those years dealing with customer requests & enquiries, one thing stood out to me, above & beyond everything else, what is most important; I hear you, the customer. Working collaboratively with the independent network of Travel Counsellors, I offer my own brand of impeccable personal service whilst leaning-into their reservoir of travel products. This enables me to select without favour to any suppliers, therein never be required to compromise on what is best for you. I have access to trade-level negotiated airline, hotel, transfer, tours, private jets, helicopter transfers; access to everything & anything travel related. I vet all products meticulously on your behalf so that all offerings meet your exact requirements & expectations. In me, you have your own one-to-one personal travel assistant and fully ATOL licensed bespoke tour operator. I do the heavy lifting, all the stuff that slows down your life:- searching, speaking to airlines, speaking to hotels/villas, checking terms & conditions, making bookings, making special requests. I offer guidance on country-specific border restrictions & regulations so that you can travel seamlessly. All payments are completely protected by Travel Counsellors' own unique trust-fund arrangement within Lloyds Banking Group whereby all monies paid are held & ring-fenced, so your travel plans & payments are fully secure.

Travel Counsellors is one of the largest travel providers in the UK and part of a global network allowing me to access a vast range of options and suppliers and build tailor-made trips bespoke to you. I pride myself on truly getting to know my clients enabling me to build you a highly personalised itinerary. Attention to detail is critical; sometimes it’s the small things that can make the difference between a good holiday and an exceptional one. Yes, the last few years have been tough for travel, but the Covid crisis has also demonstrated how important it is to have a trusted expert to help you navigate the ever-changing travel landscape, decode the latest requirements and ultimately provide the reassurance and peace of mind you deserve. I have been at the coalface of Covid travel restrictions and government updates since the start of the pandemic, living and breathing every traffic light regime change, complex testing rule and country entry requirement. It might seem daunting, but I’ll be with you every step of the way and I’m right here at the end of the phone 24/7. It’s almost impossible to name my favourite travel destination as there are so many contenders, but Italy’s Amalfi Coast is somewhere I always return to. As an avid foodie it’s probably easy to work out why. Food and wine typically play a leading role in my own travel choices! I also have two primary school aged children and firmly believe that incredible holidays shouldn’t stop just because you have little ones. There are many fabulous family-friendly destinations I can show you where parents and children will come away with precious memories. The luxury Greek resorts of Sani and Ikos are personal favourites of mine. So, if you’re looking (or just dreaming) about your next escape, let me take the research, planning and worry off your hands. Perhaps it’s a luxury tropical holiday, a shopping trip to New York, a special occasion large family getaway, or a spectacular safari. Or maybe you’ve always fancied skiing or a cruise but just don’t know where to start. Whatever type of trip you’re looking for let’s have a chat and get you one step closer to that dream holiday. -

01263 200920I’m Amie, your personal Travel Counsellor in North Norfolk, based in the lovely market town of Aylsham. I live here with my husband and our two daughters, and as a family we share a real passion for travel and exploring the world. That love of discovering new places and experiences is exactly what led me to become a travel agent, helping others plan their own unforgettable journeys. I specialise in multi‑centre trips and tailor‑made holidays with a sense of adventure. Whether it is a carefully crafted family adventure, a once‑in‑a‑lifetime itinerary or a long‑awaited getaway, I love piecing together every element so it flows perfectly from start to finish. I am a very organised traveller myself, and I bring that same approach to every holiday I design. I like to arrive with a full, thoughtful itinerary so I can see and experience as much as possible. My own travels have taken me ziplining through the rainforests of Costa Rica, kayaking through mangroves at sunrise in Qatar, and clambering under waterfalls in Iceland. These experiences help me understand what turns a good trip into an extraordinary one. When we work together, I will start by really getting to know you: your likes and dislikes, your travel dreams, and what a perfect holiday looks like for you and your fellow travellers. Whether we meet in person in North Norfolk or chat over the phone, I will take the time to listen, then craft a completely bespoke itinerary that is tailored around you. I am creative yet practical, and extremely detail‑focused, making sure every part of your trip is suitable for everyone travelling. I will support you with all aspects of planning and booking, and I will be at the end of the phone if you need me while you are away. If you are starting to think about your next adventure, I would love to hear your ideas. Get in touch by phone or email to start planning a tailor‑made holiday that is designed just for you. -

01773 318540Hi, I’m Mandy: cruise specialist, Disney lover, professional holiday planner, and someone who still genuinely gets excited helping people book trips they have been dreaming about. If you are here, you are probably thinking about your next adventure… but also discovering that planning it can go from exciting to “why are there 42 cabin categories?” surprisingly quickly. Do not worry: that is exactly what I am here for. Travel has been my world since I was 17, when I started on a YTS scheme and quickly realised this industry was exactly where I was meant to be. Since then, I have spent my career turning travel ideas into real experiences: from cruise clubs and group sailings to Alaska and the Caribbean, to helping people discover just how brilliant cruising can be. Why I love cruise holidays For me, cruising has never just been about the ship. It is about waking up somewhere new: glacier‑carved fjords one day, turquoise Caribbean waters the next. It is uninterrupted family time, proper switch‑off moments, and wildlife you previously only saw in documentaries. One of my favourite parts of the job is seeing someone go from “cruises are not for me” to completely hooked after finding the right ship and itinerary for them. My personal happy place: sitting at the back of the ship at sunset watching the wake trail behind us, or enjoying a lazy sea day in the sunshine between adventures ashore. How I plan holidays I have always believed the best holidays are not about ticking sights off a list. They are about moments and memories: Seeing glaciers in Alaska for the first time Sailing quietly into a Norwegian fjord early in the morning Watching your child experience somewhere completely new Or simply having uninterrupted time together away from everyday life When I am planning a trip, I take time to understand what matters most to you. That might be wildlife, family time, sunshine, food, sea days or adventure. From there, I help match you with the right ship, destination, hotel, cabin and pace of itinerary so everything feels right from the start. And yes: I handle the logistics and little details too, so you can focus on the excitement rather than the admin. A few things about me My slightly unusual travel essential is a rubber portable diffuser that fits hotel hairdryers. Glamorous? No. Essential? Absolutely. I love a sunshine Caribbean sea day just as much as a dramatic fjord sail‑in. I am far more interested in how somewhere feels than how many “must see” sights we can tick off. Connor would happily rate destinations purely on the availability of American‑style food. What is on my own bucket list? Returning to Alaska, Antarctica for whales and penguins, Borneo for rainforest wildlife, and another visit to Singapore so Connor can finally experience all the zoos after our far‑too‑short stop there years ago. And if I won the lottery tomorrow, I would like to pretend I would quietly visit every Disney park in the world… Realistically, though, there would definitely be signs. Probably ears too. Why clients choose to work with me The thing I value most is not sales figures: it is people. It is the conversations, the trust, and the messages saying: “We booked because of you.” I think that is why clients choose to work with me. Not just because I know cruises and travel inside out, but because I genuinely care about finding the right holiday for the right person. Whether you are looking for a cruise, a Disney holiday, a wildlife adventure or simply a trip that feels effortless and completely right for you, I would love to help you plan it. Ready to start planning? If you are thinking about your next holiday or have a dream trip in mind, I would love to hear from you. Get in touch to arrange a no‑obligation chat and let us create something unforgettable together. -

01483 284 304Welcome! Bienvenue! Willkommen! Living mainly in Surrey, I also spend time in Beaujolais (near Lyon) and adore the fact that both are in the beautiful countryside, yet within easy reach of wonderful cities. Travel has always been my passion. I started working in a major tour operator where, during 8 years, I learnt all about creating package holidays. Then I moved into the more demanding world of corporate events – constructing and delivering programmes on all continents with a much greater focus on outstanding service. Over the past three decades my work has earned several national and European industry awards, but more importantly, it has provided invaluable experience of the art of travel (whether by air, sea, rail or road) and knowledge of an amazing range of countries, destinations and cultures. With travel, the key is not learning how to get it right, but how to avoid getting it wrong! The most rewarding aspect of my work has always been the reactions of participants after experiencing a programme that I helped to create. Now I want to deliver similar experiences for individuals who want to avoid the hassle of high street travel shops, or endless online searching with little advice on what may or may not suit. Our sophisticated IT systems give me access to the widest imaginable range of flights, hotels, transport and sightseeing options. I can therefore provide you with great value, coupled with truly impartial advice. The little touches make all the difference. Packages can consist of so many features, and yet I know very well that small things add more pleasure and delight than the effort involved in arranging them. It doesn’t need to be a complicated itinerary or far-away destination. You may want a holiday in Europe, a wedding/honeymoon package, a family gathering or simply a short break. You’ll get 100% effort from me to tailor-make your arrangements – at no extra cost, with no stress or hassle. Plus everything I book is fully insured and financially protected (payments are held in separate trust accounts). Give me a call or send me a message. You deserve the maximum value and enjoyment – I can help you get it.
