I’m Hayley and I live in Barnt Green, Birmingham with my husband and two sons.
I love travel! It’s my number one passion, and I’ve been lucky enough to travel to some incredible destinations across the globe. From exploring the cultures of the Far East, thrilling safari adventures in Africa, 5-star luxury in the Maldives to family friendly holidays in Europe. I love an adventure; to experience those new sights, sounds, smells and tastes and I hope to pass on the travel bug to my boys. My ultimate happy place is the beach - preferably one on a remote Thai island, at sunset with a drink in hand!
As a Travel Counsellor, I am truly independent and have the freedom and flexibility to find you the perfect holiday with a host of suppliers at my fingertips. Using my knowledge and experience, I am able to help you plan your perfect holiday; whether it’s a dream honeymoon, all-inclusive cruise, a long-haul trip of a lifetime, family beach holiday or an adult only city break, I can create the perfect package to suit you rather than you fitting into a package. My service is truly personalised and I work with you to ensure I create a trip that is unique and perfect for your needs with all those extra touches on top.
As a home-based Travel Counsellor, I am able to dedicate my time to your needs, meaning I am a familiar, friendly voice at a time that’s convenient for you. Everything you book with me is 100% financially protected, giving you absolute peace of mind. In today’s busy world our time is precious, so let me do the hard work for you – simply tell me your requirements and I’ll do the rest!

I’d love to make your travel dreams become a reality so please get in touch to see how I can help you to plan your next trip and create those special memories.

We have just booked our fourth trip with Hayley. She is excellent at understanding our needs and wishes from a holiday and skilful in sourcing hotels, attractions, trips and locations that meet exceed our requirements. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Hayley has created bespoke holidays tailored to the individual needs of our family. Last year she created a dream holiday to Turkey, taking in various stops including Istanbul, Cappadocia (hot air balloon) and the Antalyan Coast, organising flights, accommodation, activities and car hire which can be tricky for a family of 5. This year we have another tailored holiday to Portugal, starting in Lisbon and ending in Algarve. Booking with Hayley has taken the stress out of booking and it is reassuring to know we will have expert support if we encounter any issues along the way. Hayley has been patient with our changing needs and requests and responded straight away with updates and expert advice. Nothing has been too much trouble. We are really appreciative of the individualised service we have had from Hayley via Travel counsellors and would recommend to others.

Hayley understands our requirements and always makes great recommendations. She was fantastic reorganising our trip when wild fires meant we couldn’t stick to the initial plan and took all the stress out of the situation. Hayley is always pleasant, polite and is prompt with responses.

This is our third trip booked through Hayley - but this one is a whopper! We approached Hayley for ideas for a very special milestone birthday and she delivered. Hayley guided us through the process, suggested amazing experiences tailored to our personal needs. It is all booked now and will be an incredible one. Hayley is so knowledgeable, and with her enthusiasm and obvious love for the job, makes the whole experience fun and truly enjoyable. Great work, Hayley. Thank you so much.

This is the second trip we have booked with Hayley. As before she was helpful and patient. Providing us with lots of options and advice about things she thought we may or may not like, based on her understanding of our travel needs and budget. We are so pleased with Hayley that we are already in the beginning stages of working with her planning a big holiday next year for my husbands 50th birthday. I have happily shared Hayley's social media content on Facebook to advertise her to my friends. I have also directly advised a friend planning a trip to Thailand to contact Hayley for help and book her trip with her.

I couldn't recommend Hayley enough as she is an exceptional professional and has given us extraordinary knowledgeable advice on our holidays in Menorca. She planned meticulously and arranged our trip from beginning to end. She is certainly the perfect person to organise everything for your holidays. Planning was meticulous and she was checking and making sure everything was going to plan and stress free. You made a memorable holiday for us, Hayley.

Hayley was absolutely excellent! We are a family of 5 and I found looking for holidays myself really tricky (all of the traditional online booking platforms/travel agents are set up to search for couples or families of 4 and not for families of 5). Apart from looking for the 5 of us we really didn't have much of a brief and Hayley was able to offer really brilliant guidance. She listened to the points we did have and made excellent suggestions to suit us. We were then able to consider a short list of options and ask specific questions. Could not recommend Hayley highly enough.
