It's Nice To Meet You
Hi, I’m Gemma, an independent Travel Counsellor based on the boarder of rural Suffolk/Cambridgeshire.
Travel has always had my heart. It all began with a solo adventure to Australia and New Zealand a life-changing journey that showed me how powerful and unforgettable travel can be. Since then, I’ve built over 20 years of experience in the travel industry, helping people turn their dream getaways into real-life adventures.
Whether it’s a luxury honeymoon, a family escape, or a once-in-a-lifetime journey, I offer a completely personal, one-to-one travel service. I’ll take the time to get to know you – your style, your must-haves, and even your “definitely-not-that” list – so I can design a trip that’s perfectly tailored to you. No generic packages here – just thoughtful, bespoke travel planning with expert advice every step of the way.
From boutique B&Bs and world-class hotels to immersive tours and hidden gems, I’ll build your trip with care and attention to detail. With full financial protection through ATOL and the Travel Counsellors Trust, you can book with complete peace of mind.
I’ve been lucky to visit a variety of incredible places – from road-tripping around New Zealand in a camper van to learning to cook in Vietnam, and even snowshoeing through the forests of Quebec. Each of these experiences has given me a deeper understanding of what makes travel truly special, and I use that insight to help shape meaningful journeys for my clients.
I believe that travel should be a force for good. As travellers, we have a wonderful opportunity to give back to the communities we visit – whether that’s by supporting locally owned businesses, respecting cultures, or choosing experiences that have a positive impact. Travel has the power to create positive change. That’s why I work with trusted, like-minded destination specialists who focus on supporting local communities and sustainable tourism. It means your holiday not only offers authentic, enriching experiences – it also helps support the people who make each place so special.
Holidays are about more than just flights and hotels – they’re about memories that last a lifetime. Whether you know exactly what you want or you’re just starting to dream, I’m here to help you plan a trip that’s everything you hoped for – and more.
So please get in touch and let me help you plan your next getaway. I'll be there every step of the way to ensure your journey is seamless and memorable, making it an extraordinary travel experience. Your dream holiday is just a conversation away, and I'm here to turn it into a reality.
