Looking for help with your business travel? Find out how I can help here
Welcome and thank you for visiting my webpage.
I became a Travel Counsellor after a long and distinguished career at two of the UK's leading tour operators and wanting to re-introduce the values of what a tour operator/travel agent should be offering you.
Booking a holiday or a business trip is more than a simple retail transaction. It is more important than that to you and it is more important than that to me. It is something that is personal and should be handled with the care and attention it deserves.
Being a Travel Counsellor means that we can offer you what you require – it isn’t limited to one supplier or one product, it is a means to be independent and offer you what you want, be that a speedy process, an in-depth discussion about a destination, a hotel or a mode of transport, the most luxury or the best value. Each requirement is different but we are experienced in understanding travel.
More often than not you will want to discuss and plan your holidays and business trips over the phone/videocall although I am happy to meet in person too.
My own personal travel experience spans approximately eighty countries from the incredibly exotic Maldives and Mauritius (including my own wedding) to the more adventurous India, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Guatemala and Japan, to the business hubs of New York, Hong Kong and Singapore. So, whether you are looking for a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Australia and New Zealand, your annual winter holiday to the Caribbean, a family holiday to USA or a romantic weekend in Paris there are a multitude of holidays that can be arranged to suit you for your next adventure. As you can probably tell I am passionate about most places I have travelled to (and places still on the to do travel list) but do give me a call and we can even discuss my other favourites that I haven't even mentioned here. I also enjoy documenting my travels in the journals that you can read below along with trying to improve my photography which you can see within them.
With all Travel Counsellors, we pride ourselves on the service we provide and the value this brings to our customers. We are all independent, meaning we can provide you with the holiday you require and we can design it to suit your needs and desires. All types of holidays can be catered for from cruises to adventure tours to tailormade holidays to business trips and private tours.
It may be an itinerary that you find daunting to put together yourself, or you just want the reassurance of being able to contact someone at any time either before you go or while you are away or it may be that you like to have that feeling of being financially protected or someone to help with giving you good value and inspiration and ideas, we can do all this and more.
I very much look forward to hearing from you and discussing your travel plans.

The Traveller Counsellors way
I absolutely live and breathe travel and I love to write about my experiences! Please take a look through my posts - you might find your own holiday inspiration.

I am a huge fan of exploring the Caribbean and I have visited a few of the more well known islands, and a few of the ‘undiscovered’ gems and I was looking forward to this trip because it fell somewhere between the two. I started out on the flight with a lovely group of fellow tour operators as we had been invited to stay at the stylish Golden Rock Inn on Nevis. You may have seen this property in

(We) The British have an affinity with India in a big way and fortunately the people of India seem to feel the same way about us! The number of documentaries and films about India that we have taken to our hearts through TV and cinema has magnified our growing passion to learn more and see more. The sheer diversity and the size and scale of the country only increases our appetite further to see mo

The build up to this trip started a while beforehand as I had won the opportunity to attend by finishing top of the class at one of our favourite partners Kuoni’s worldwide college. It was a privilege to be recognised as an expert on the Far East and I had been looking forward to sharing a trip with a select group of other experts. I met the rest of the group at the airport and we travelled direc

We were meeting early at Gatwick, there was a lot to fit in over the next three days. The lovely team from Visit Jersey were taking us to see some of the best of what Jersey has to offer. I had always wanted to visit Jersey and the trip being in October wasn’t going to put me off. It’s only a short hour or so flight from Gatwick and not much longer from other parts of the UK too, so when we arrive

As regular visitors to the Isle of Man we were going back hoping not much had changed since our last visit. We really enjoy our opportunities to keep coming back – my father-in-law is a very proud Manxman and so it is just as well we all like it there! We disembarked the plane and the airport hadn’t changed, small and easy to get through the terminal, baggage reclaim smooth and swift, 20 minut

I had been chosen to visit Malaysia on a trip hosted by Malaysian Airlines, Malaysian Tourism board and Shangri-La hotels – so this was already a huge privilege, but it became clearer as we went that this was a special trip! We met at Heathrow airport early in the morning (early starts were a theme of this trip – just so you realise that this type of trip is hard work as well as fun!) The loung

Following on from last year’s summer holiday to Corfu, another opportunity had arisen for a short break and continuing the theme of Greek islands, we chose Crete this time. Crete is the biggest of the Greek islands and is, we discovered, packed with a plethora of things to do. The first part of our stay was in Chania, the second largest of Crete’s cities and perhaps its prettiest, we started o

A friend and I had been discussing what was at the top of our travel lists and we had both discovered that our number one choice for our next destination was Japan! The following question was “Is this just a coincidence and something to dream about or could we make it happen?” "It isn’t the cheapest destination", was one argument not to go and "We’ll need to take a large amount of time off work" w

This was a holiday for my wife’s big birthday. She had mulled over a few choices before deciding that Dubrovnik was the place to celebrate such an occasion! We decided to add a touch of luxury to mark a special occasion and chose a hotel with a lovely view over Lokrum (a beautiful forested island) and the sea, and a side vista to the old walled town too. The beautiful well-established gardens gav

Maldives has become a favoured destination in recent times for me - this was my third visit after all! Would I enjoy it as much as the last two times, and what to do with the opportunity to visit somewhere on the way there? We had previously enjoyed stopovers in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Oman, and found that Doha in Qatar was an ideal stopover on the way to the Maldives. November is a great time to vis

It had been quite a while since I had first visited Budapest, so going back was something I was looking forward to. It was my parents’ wedding anniversary and they wanted to spend some time with some special friends of theirs that live near Budapest. So I gratefully accepted their offer of tagging along. The trip got off to a flying start with an upgrade to ‘Club Europe’ on our outbound British
27 July 2016
An opportunity had arisen for myself and my wife to take a week’s break and we had some great memories of past trips to Greece and Cyprus so decided to see another popular Greek island, Corfu! It’s only a short flight from the UK and this was just before the season was getting into full swing. We were aware it’s not exactly an ‘undiscovered’ island but then there is always something new to disc

I had been wanting to visit Sri Lanka for a long time, the heady mix of culture and wildlife and exotic beaches had always appealed. I was about to fulfil my ambition. I left the UK on a cold winter’s day and arrived in Sri Lanka to my joy to 30-degree heat (it can get warmer than this too!) I had decided to spend the first few days in Colombo, the economic capital. Many visitors do tend to
