It's Nice To Meet You
I specialise in putting together amazing trips for my customers, with an emphasis on the travel experience, memories, and accessing our destination management companies worldwide. You also have access to the myTC app.
My name is Jane and I live in Hampshire. I started working in the travel industry 30 years ago in London, and it’s all I ever wanted to do!
My aim is for your entire booking journey to be a very happy one, from planning to booking, pre-travel, your travel and your return. I care deeply for all my customers from beginning to end.
I have had the opportunity to travel worldwide and some of the places I have visited are Europe, Seychelles, The Maldives, Mauritius, Thailand, the USA and Africa. I enjoy skiing and l love to cruise. I have lived on the Greek Island of Corfu and have visited many of the Greek Islands. My top two travel experiences are sailing on the QM2 from New York and lounging on the beach in the Seychelles! I'm off to Vietnam this year.
I believe that the most important aspect of excellent customer service is keeping promises.
I promise that I will give you a personal service and match the right holiday to you. I will always go that extra mile and assist you to consider every aspect of your travels. If I haven’t been to your chosen destination, one of my colleagues will have been there. That’s the advantage of working alongside an international travel company!
I use the latest technology and everything you book with me is 100% protected against supplier failure by either ATOL or the Travel Counsellors Financial Trust, giving you peace of mind. It is the best financial protection in the industry.
I am happy to provide you with travel quotes and suggest ideas. You can message me or telephone me and I promise that you will get a quick response. I also provide a Business Travel service.
I look forward to hearing from you!

Travelling with a Purpose and being positive
Travel with a purpose I suspect that we will remember the long year of 2020 as the year of COVID19, which presented us with devastation and confusion, dodging between safe air corridors of travel and the ever-changing FCO advice, and Zoom meetings.
