It's Nice To Meet You
Hello, I’m Gayle, your personal Travel Counsellor based in Woodbridge, Suffolk.
Travel has been my world for 30 years and I still get a buzz every time I help a client step onto a plane, a ship or a train to somewhere special. I started my career in a high street agency as a sales consultant and branch manager, then worked overseas in customer services and later taught Travel & Tourism at Lowestoft College. All of this means you benefit from real, hands-on experience as well as in-depth destination knowledge.
I have been fortunate to explore a wide range of destinations including Brazil, New Orleans, Lapland, Australia, Fiji, Thailand, New York, California, Florida, many Caribbean islands, Ras Al Khaimah, Cyprus, Laos, the Maldives, Turkey, Italy, Greece, the Canaries and the Balearics, to name just a few. I also have a real passion for cruising and have enjoyed ski holidays too.
One of my greatest joys is creating unforgettable weddings and honeymoons abroad. This is a real area of expertise for me: I focus on every last detail so that your special celebration feels effortless, personal and truly memorable.
As a mum of two well-travelled daughters with plenty of passport stamps already, I also understand just how important it is to get family holidays spot on. I take time to balance everyone’s needs, from child-friendly fun to those all-important moments of relaxation for the grown-ups.
As your Travel Counsellor I have access to hundreds of trusted travel suppliers and award-winning technology, which allows me to create completely tailor-made itineraries, as well as package holidays, cruises, ski trips, city breaks and UK escapes. You will benefit from excellent choice and competitive pricing, without compromising on personal service or peace of mind. Every penny you spend with me is 100% financially protected.
I work from home and offer flexible hours, including evenings and weekends, so we can talk when it suits you. I will get to know what really matters to you and design travel plans that fit your life, not the other way round.
If you are thinking about your next escape, whether it is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, a special celebration, or simply a much-needed break, I would love to help.
Get in touch today and let me take away the time, stress and risk of planning, so you can focus on looking forward to your holiday.

Gliding Along the Rhine: My Time Onboard Emerald Sun
Last July I swapped busy airports and long road transfers for something altogether calmer: three unhurried nights on the river cruise ship Emerald Sun. Our journey took us from Frankfurt to Basel, with memorable stops in Strasbourg and Freiburg, and it completely reinforced why river cruising is such a special way to explore Europe. If you have ever wondered what it feels like to wake up to a new
