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 17 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 around the country whilst there and frequently travel back to catch up with friends and family and update the various products available.
Travel Counsellors now 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 .

Jane has arranged several overseas trips for me, she is my go to person for all my travel requirements. Nothing is too much trouble and is always available to speak to…… a very personal service which is much appreciated. I know Jane will do everything from helping me to choose a holiday or flights to booking me in and checking all is ok. I have recommended Jane to other people with absolute confidence that she will give a professional and personal service. Thank you Jane for everything and going the extra mile

I can not recommend Jane enough, we recently booked our honeymoon and it was the most stressfree and helpful service I have received booking a holiday. No questions were left unanswered and more importantly she had no limited of time to spend on helping us achieve the perfect honeymoon. We both can not wait to go in July, thank you again.

This year we have made trips to Nairobi, Bologna, and Frankfrurt and all travel arrangements have been made through Jane. Year in year out she takes care of everything for us with great personal skill and professionalism. We can't praise her highly enough since we can rest assured that there is nothing to worry about! Once again congratulations and thanks.

Having recently returned from a holiday in New England we felt it appropriate to compliment Jane of Travel Councellors on the impecable planning on our behalf.
Our requirements weren't straight forward but everything went absolutely to plan - first class.

I cannot praise Jane enough for the help I received. She was excellent, very knowledgeable, easily contactable and very reliable, which all help to ensure we had a wonderful holiday. A real pleasure to work with, I would without question, use Jane again when I look to book my next holiday.

Nothing was ever too much trouble with Jane, despite us chopping and changing around a lot. Her knowledge was great and she really listened to what we wanted, finding some great holidays for us to choose from. She was always there to answer any questions and organise any add ons. Why would you ever want to trawl through the internet for months trying to save a couple of pounds with an option like Travel Counsellors
