Hello! My name is Gayle and I am your personal Travel Counsellor in Woodbridge, Suffolk.
I have been in the travel industry for 27 years, firstly working for a high street agency as a sales consultant and branch manager. I have also worked as a Customer Services Representative overseas and taught Travel and Tourism at Lowestoft College. All of these experiences have encouraged my passion for travel and have allowed me to build an extensive knowledge of many destinations throughout the world.
I decided to join Travel Counsellors after learning that we share the same values - giving you the best possible service from beginning to end and giving independent travel advice.
I have travelled to many destinations including Brazil, New Orleans, Lapland, Australia, Fiji, Thailand, New York, California, Florida, lots of Caribbean Islands, Ras Al Khaimah, Cyprus, Laos, Maldives, Turkey, Italy, Greece, the Canaries and the Balearics to name a few! I also have a passion for cruising and I have been skiing.
I have had the pleasure of arranging many weddings and honeymoons abroad and consider this to be my area of expertise. I will take note of every last detail to ensure your special day is one to remember.
As I have two daughters with lots of passport stamps already, I pride myself in understanding the importance of getting a family holiday just right. I am happy to make recommendations that take into account both the children’s and adult’s requirements.
As a Travel Counsellor I have access to 100’s of different suppliers which allows me to obtain the most competitive prices and choices without compromising on service. I am able to utilise award-winning technology to tailor make your travel specifically to your personal needs.
I am able to book anything at all from tailormade itineraries, package holidays, cruise, ski, city breaks and UK breaks.
Travel Counsellors can offer you the best financial protection in the industry so rest assured every last penny you spend is 100% protected.
As I work from home, I am available at a time that suits you, including evenings and weekends giving you the flexibility to contact me at your convenience and allowing me to completely understand your needs and what’s important to you.
Let me save you the time, stress and risk of searching through lots of websites, I will do the work for you as your holiday plans matter to me. Thank you for taking the time to visit my webpage. I look forward to hearing from you soon and turning your dreams into reality.

Gayle has been so helpful in organising our Vegas wedding and honeymoon - ‘weddingmoon’. She has given us lots of advice and many different options of hotels etc. so we can make the decision of what we want. We contacted her a while ago now before the flights were released and she has kept in touch with us along the way. We have changed our minds a couple of times too and she has been so accommodating. Thank you so much Gayle!
