It's Nice To Meet You
Welcome!
I am your Personal Travel Counsellor based in Herefordshire close to the Welsh borders. I have been with Travel Counsellors for 18 years, and in the industry for over 30 years.
I provide a unique travel service, using award-winning technology to tailor-make travel arrangements, with the support of a world-leading independent travel company: Travel Counsellors.
I am able to tailor-make travel arrangements to suit each customer offering a personal service from start to finish. All travel arrangements I book are also 100% financially protected through Travel Counsellors.
Working from home means I can speak or meet clients at a time to suit them, even out of normal office hours.
Previously, I worked as a manager in a couple of independent high street offices and also in business travel. I have over 30 years’ experience in the industry both here and working in Australia.
I have travelled extensively over the years with longer spells in Australia (lived here for 7 years), New Zealand, Asia, west coast of Canada and Alaska. I enjoy skiing and have experienced many resorts in Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand, not forgetting visiting Father Christmas in Lapland! With the nature of my husband’s job, I have visited many cities in the UK and Europe. Whilst in Australia I travelled extensively around the country and frequently travel back to catch up with friends and family and update the various products available.
Travel Counsellors has a 24-hour duty office keeping us up to date with any situations around the world and gives are clients piece of mind that someone is available whilst they are overseas.
I would be delighted to discuss your travel arrangements with you, whether it's a trip in the UK, Europe or beyond, a business trip or to help turn your dream holiday into a reality.
I look forward to hearing from you soon and taking the stress of booking your travel arrangements especially in these changing times .
