Are you ready to make memories and not dreams!
Do you love to travel? Do you love spending quality time with your loved ones on a dream holiday? So do I.
I’m Helen, I live in Kingswood Hull, with my husband, two Sons aged 21/18 and my two Bedlington Terrier's, and I am your personal Travel Counsellor.
I am a proactive, self-motivated and organised individual with over 25 years of travel retail experience. I have been very fortunate to have travelled the world, to some amazing holiday destinations, these include: Australia and New Zealand, Dubai, Qatar, (Doha), New York (6 times) Egypt, Dominican Republic, Mexico, Bahamas, Florida (including Disney World a number of times) and Key West as well as your traditional family holidays to Majorca, Menorca, the Canary Islands, Greece and stunning Marrakech, Morocco.
In June 2024 I visited Disneyland Paris on a Fam trip, and I have just returned, May 2025, from another trip Walt Disney World thanks to Norse Airlines, Disney and Do something Different which was simply magical!! I have lots of knowledge of Walt Disney World, Florida itself and have stayed in Villa, hotels as well as WDW hotels. So let me know if you have any enquiries for Disney!
I have cruised with Royal Caribbean International, P&O's Britannia, and Carnival Cruise line, as late 2022 we embarked on a family adventure to Australia and New Zealand where we enjoyed Sydney, Brisbane (OZ), and sailed around New Zealand visiting Wellington, Christchurch, Dunedin and Fjordland Park ( NZ).
My most recent sailing was on the MSC Virtuosa. I recently visited Disney Wish in Orlando too, Stunning Ship.
Over Christmas and New year of 2024 my family and I embarked on 3 weeks in Australia!! What a wonderful experience that was. We visited Broadbeach in Brisbane, where we were for Christmas and then onto Sydney for a week, were we saw in 2025, at Blues Point, to watch the magnificent midnight fireworks over Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House.
I feel very blessed to have been able to travel to these amazing countries!
Working with Travel Counsellors, a global independent travel agency who have won many prestigious awards as well as being recognised as the top, UK No 1 company in the Martin Lewis Money Saving Expert Poll for how we dealt with and refunded clients through the Covid 19 pandemic, I am pleased to be able to offer you exceptional one to one, 24/7 customer care along with my wealth of destination knowledge and enthusiasm. Book with confidence!
I am just a phone call, instant message or email away from creating that perfect holiday for you.
As a Travel Counsellor, my business is built on trust, reputation and fantastic customer service which I naturally provide to all my clients - my aim is to always go that extra mile to provide you with that perfect holiday memory, but also for you to remember me as your Personal Travel Counsellor. I will be waiting to take your next line of enquiry.
I may be based in Hull, but I have clients nationwide, including the Chanel Islands!
Holidays for some are few and far between, so whether it’s a cottage break in the Yorkshire Dales, creating your dream wedding abroad or honeymoon in style, to planning an around the world trip, I will help turn your holiday dreams into reality.
As I have the luxury of being able to work from home I can work around my clients so if you want to contact me during the day or on an evening then that’s great for me, I am also happy to meet face to face over a nice coffee as after all I am dealing with your holiday and it is nice to put a face to a name.
Please don’t hesitate to get in touch, I very much look forward to being able to help you.
Kindest regards

From LA to San Francisco: My California Highlights (And Surprises)
California is one of those places that many of us grow up seeing in films and on TV, so finally visiting Los Angeles, Anaheim and San Francisco felt very special. It was also a reminder that not every destination instantly “clicks”, and that is exactly why first‑hand experience matters when helping clients choose the right route.

Australia had been on my wish list for a long time, so finally making the trip and celebrating New Year in Sydney felt incredibly special. Our route took us through Broadbeach, Brisbane and Sydney, with a mix of beach time, city exploring and a few very memorable wildlife encounters along the way.
