Hi, I’m Glenn, owner and founder of ERA Luxury Travel.
I design carefully considered, high‑end journeys for clients who value privacy, ease and impeccable service. After more than 25 years advising successful families on their most important wealth planning decisions, I know that true luxury is feeling completely looked after from the first conversation to the moment you arrive home.
My earlier career was built on discretion, trust and long-term relationships and those same principles sit at the heart of how I now work as a Travel Counsellor. I work with a smaller number of clients so that every itinerary is genuinely bespoke, with time taken to understand your tastes, your priorities and the memories you want to create.
As part of Travel Counsellors, I combine this highly personal service with exceptional backup. Your trip is supported by our proprietary technology and the 'myTC' app, which keeps your travel plans, documents and live updates in one secure place on your phone. You have the reassurance of 24/7 support while you are away, so there is always someone to help if plans need to change.
Every penny of your booking is 100% financially protected through the Travel Counsellors Financial Trust, giving you the highest level of protection in the industry and complete peace of mind.
My own travels have taken me across Europe and Asia, Canada and Alaska, Australia, Japan, USA and the Caribbean, as well as incredible trips around the Norwegian Fjords and luxury all-inclusive resorts such as Ikos. I have also been an avid cruiser since 2008, sailing on numerous ocean itineraries and experiencing life on board across different cruise lines and ship styles. My next adventure will take me on a cruise around South America and Antarctica, further deepening my first-hand insight into expedition and destination focused cruising. I draw on all of this experience when crafting tailor-made journeys that feel seamless and deeply personal.
Whether you are planning a milestone celebration, a multi-generational escape, an ocean cruise, a once-in-a-lifetime adventure or a restorative break closer to home, I will ensure every element is thoughtfully curated, expertly managed and fully protected.
I look forward to working with you to create journeys that feel effortless in the planning, rich in experience and remembered long after you return.

Why use a Travel Counsellor
Let's plan your dream trip together
Tailor-made for you
Your holiday isn’t just a trip away. It’s a longed-for escape, time to reconnect with loved ones, or a dream adventure you never thought possible. That’s why I take the time to truly get to know you and understand your hopes and expectations, then use my experience, connections and passion for the destination to create a trip that makes those dreams a reality.
Personalised service. Always
When you plan a holiday with me, you’ll be given my personal mobile number from the very first call. I’ll listen to your thoughts and ideas like I would a friend and arrange accommodation, activities, and flights that are all personalised to you. And I’ll share my personal tips and recommendations, so you can experience the true beauty of each destination.
Stress-free travel, and more time for what matters most
I believe your time away should be stress-free, easy, and seamless from start to finish. So, I take care of all the details for you - from ATOL protection, insurance, and flexible payments to access to the myTC app, which keeps everything in one place.
Support when it matters most
If the unexpected happens, you can rest easy, knowing that I’ll handle any last-minute changes, flight cancellations, or disruptions before you even pick up the phone. So you always feel happy, carefree, and ready to make the most of every moment.
