It's Nice To Meet You

Hi, I’m Jen, thank you for stopping by my page.

My passion for travel began at a very young age, when I was fortunate enough to be taken on numerous far‑flung adventures. After completing my education I set off on a solo gap year around the world, which led to a further year living and working on the Pacific island of Rarotonga. Inspired by these adventures, I returned to the UK to begin a career sharing my love of travel.

Fast forward to today and I have now spent 25 years in the travel industry. My experience spans sales, service, operations and leadership for award‑winning high street, corporate and luxury tailor‑made brands. I have received global awards for customer excellence, and many of my customers have become lifelong friends. I have been privileged to journey to 53 countries, experiencing everything from sleeping under canvas and group tours to completely bespoke itineraries using the finest modes of transport and staying in some of the world’s best hotels and villas. A particular highlight for 2026 has been my Expedition Cruise to the Arctic, reminding me how much I love off‑the‑beaten‑track, immersive travel. At the other end of the scale, I am quickly becoming an expert in family travel, with a lively 4 year who loves the sun, sand and sea!

An incredible travel experience is whatever you want it to be, and that is why I chose to become a business owner with Travel Counsellors. For the past three years I have been running my own business, combining my industry expertise with the unrivalled support of the TC community. This gives me access to a vast array of exceptional products and services, enabling me to take care of every aspect of your trip. For complete peace of mind, your holiday is 100% financially protected through our independent Financial Trust and ATOL protection.

To travel is to make lasting memories and create moments you will recall for years to come. Travel is about connection and broadening horizons. It can be time to rest and recharge, an adrenaline‑fuelled challenge, or an action‑packed adventure. Most importantly, it should be personal to you.

Whatever your preference, I would be delighted to look after you and your family’s plans. Your journey with me starts from our first conversation and does not end until you arrive home. I will be your single point of contact and your dedicated personal travel planner. If you prefer to speak in the evening or would like to discuss your trip in person, I can happily accommodate both. I am primarily based in the Cotswolds and can also regularly be found in my home town of Swindon.

I look forward to speaking with you and turning your holiday dreams into reality.

Helsinki: The Underrated Nordic Capital

As the start and end point of my trip to Svalbard, I squeezed in a couple of nights in Helsinki and finally added a new country to my list. It was meant to be a practical stopover, but it turned into one of those city experiences that offered so much more than expected...

5 Vietnamese dishes you won't want to miss!

There are so many reasons to visit Vietnam: fascinating history, beautiful scenery, and of course the impressive culinary scene. Popular Vietnamese dishes are becoming increasingly available in the UK but nothing compares to trying authentic Vietnamese cuisine in the country itself. Jen (your fabulous Travel Counsellor) and I were chatting recently about the best food we’d had in Vietnam and came

Navigating airlines and airports with a baby

Navigating airlines and airports with a baby

I’ve been travelling solo with my daughter since she was 6 months old so here’s my advice if you are thinking about flying with a baby. 1. Check your baggage allowance. This may sound obvious but with no standard rules in place, what you can and can’t take for an infant varies from airline to airline. Scheduled airlines are more likely to offer an additional weight allowance for an infant, eithe

Sri Lanka – Something for everyone

Sri Lanka – Something for everyone

The teardrop island is one of my favourite countries, and due to a climate that varies from region to region, it’s a destination that can be visited at any time of the year. Small enough to experience the highlights in a two-week trip and offering so much diversity, there really is something for the whole family. Steeped in history, the cultural triangle is a must for anyone looking to experien

What my customers say

Jen took a tricky brief - a road trip from Helsinki to Warsaw via the Baltic states. This was quite a challenge due to ferries, restrictions on rental cars crossing borders, etc. However, she came up with two options - one from a travel company and one she had put together herself. We felt that her package was superior and less costly, so have booked that. She has done a great job and we can't wait to do it next year (after the other holiday to Vietnam and Cambodia she booked for us).

Terry W

Jen is great. She really gets a feel for what you are looking for and does her utmost to sort it for you! Very approachable and endlessly patient, I would thoroughly recommend her services.

Jane Kennett

Oxford

I have found that booking through Jen, our Travel Counsellors, to be excellent - never any issues, she already knows what we like / want I only have to email saying what sort of holiday we fancy and the quotes follow with no issues. The Holidays are good value for money and it is comforting to know we have the backing of a large company with the personal care of our local TC.

Pete Tayler

Swindon

Jen is always contactable even when abroad which is a great service. I have booked another holiday with her next year and the hotel choices she gives is exactly what we were looking for. Any question you have she is there to answer you questions

Annwen Goodland

South Wales

We’ve used Jen a number of times now and she’s been brilliant. We’ve had great holidays. We have no hesitation in recommending her to others

Ray Norman

Swindon

Jen is in one word ‘fantastic’! We have now booked 3 holidays through her. She is simply superb

Theresa Garnett

Swindon

Jen is first class in finding holidays that fit our requirements. She knows and understands exactly what we are looking for and always delivers great options. Jen makes the whole process seamless and enjoyable.

Nick Ducker

Bolton

I can wholeheartedly say that dealing with Jen Clifton to book my 2026 Canaries cruise, as a solo traveller, has been an amazing experience. I’m used to dealing with my holiday requirements - just me and my laptop - but decided on a change. It’s been a revelation and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed having Jen alongside me so much, so I called upon her to help me book my January 2027 Malaysia cruise!!!

Anne Gladwyn

Swindon

Jennifer has shown great patience regarding our booking and has constantly provided some fantastic options. I would highly recommend Jen, providing prompt responses & several options, she definitely helped in supporting us make a family holiday decision

Mat Tapley

Newcastle

Jen is keen to provide the best outcome for her clients. She helped us find the best suppliers for the trips we dreamed of and got further information from those suppliers to ensure our needs would be met. Booking was quick, organised and efficient. Jen then ensured that supplier updates were provided to us in a timely manner, addressing any queries or observations we had. She monitors and manages the entire process to ensure things go smoothly - all the way through to the trip itself. She then follows up to ensure we had a good time. I can't ask for much more from a travel agent

Terry Weatheril

10/10 - I've already recommended Jennifer to my daughter and she has already book a holiday with her too!

Another sterling and professional service from Jennifer - the go to travel counsellor to help with all your travel plans

Nige Forshaw

Thame

First time using TC one of the best experiences had when booking a trip Jen listened to my comments when originally discussing a year ago and that attention to detail never waivered

Peter Tayler

Swindon

Jen is very helpful and happy to work with you to find the ideal holiday without being pushy. We can’t wait for our holiday to the Maldives in November.

Caroline Barnes

Witney

Jennifer Clifton went above and beyond in her service to me as my travel Counsellor. From the moment I placed my initial enquiry about the possibility of travelling solo across Canada by train, stopping at the Rockies before continuing to Vancouver she stopped at nothing to ensure that I had an experience of a lifetime! I have since rebooked with her for a Nordic experience! That should tell you something about how highly I recommend her!

Clare-Marie Burchall

Swindon

Fantastic service no matter what the ask, very happy

Nick Wright

Dursley

So far , we have been really, really pleased with the help and support from Jen , exploring and booking holidays for us. She has quickly grasped what we want out of a holiday and been happy to flex arrangements and offer options which we had not thought of. Jen has quickly and efficiently sorted things out for us, and has always responded in a very timely manner. The only reason for not giving a 10 at the moment is that we are still to actually go on the two major trips which she has organised for us , so we are not able to accurately feedback on the experience of the trips themselves but we are very excited for them.

Gillian Scott

Oxfordshire

Very helpful and friendly. Quick and efficient service with my requirements met perfectly. Would definitely recommend

Clare Dorn

Dorking

Both times I have used Jen to arrange a holiday I have been exceptionally pleased. No negatives

Peter Aldous

Lechlade

Jen made our holiday perfect from the moment we contacted her. She is knowledgeable, efficient, polite and professional in everything she does and our holiday experience was a dream. We’ll definitely be letting Jen organise our future holidays

Sue and Steve Herridge

Swindon

Jen was very knowledgeable about the country we wanted to visit and suggested we did a 2 centre holiday so we wouldn’t miss anything. She put together the package for us including transfers, taking the worry of finding this out ourselves! She was also very quick at making the changes we needed. A much more hassle-free way of booking a holiday!

Caroline Harvey

Abingdon

Excellent service, patient and courteous, I would definitely recommend to friends.

Dave Edmunds

Cheshire

Jen is super efficient and always comes up with the goods, never phased by me taking my time to make up my mind and has always made sure we had a great break

Andy Scott

Henley

We were very happy to come back to Jennifer to help and arrange this year's holiday. Jennifer very good at understanding what we are looking for and tweaking if offering a better deal. Highly recommend to anyone

Marian Roberts Smith

Jen took all the hard work of matching flight times and accommodation and made hers a simple device to use. Also she was very pleasant and knowledgeable

John Sparrow

Jen has been amazing!

Theresa Garnett

Jen was very efficient, knowledgeable and understanding service, will definitely use again

Nick Wright

Dursley

Couldn’t ask for a better experience. Jen has such amazing knowledge of the whole travel industry and she works hard in getting the holiday package you dream of. I wouldn’t use anybody else.

Alison Sutton

Swindon

Already telling everyone I speak to about how brilliant Jen is. You’re in great hands whatever your travel needs are with Jen

Terri Anson-Dean

Farringdon

Though we haven’t yet been on our holiday, service from Jen has been first rate so-far. It’s the kind of personal service and attention to detail that I thought had gone from travel agents these days.
