Hi, I’m Jen, welcome and thanks for stopping by my page.
My passion for travel began from a very young age, fortunate to be taken on numerous far flung adventures in my early years. Once I’d completed my education, I set off on a solo gap year around the world which led onto a further year living and working on the Pacific Island of Rarotonga. Inspired by my adventures, I returned to the UK to begin a career sharing my passion for travel.
Fast forward, and this year marks my 22nd anniversary dedicated to the travel industry. With experience spanning 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 have great friends that started out as customers. I have been privileged to journey to 52 countries, experiencing everything from sleeping under canvas and group touring to completely bespoke itineraries using the finest modes of transports and resting in some of the finest hotels and villa’s.
An incredible travel experience is whatever you want it to be and that’s why I'm a business owner with Travel Counsellors. With my experience and the unrivalled support of the TC family, I have access to a vast array of incredible product and services` enabling me to take care of every aspect of your holiday. And for complete peace of mind, your trip is 100% financially protected thanks to our independent Financial Trust and ATOL protection.
To travel is to make lasting memories. Create moments you recall for years to come. Travel is about connections, broadening horizons, and it can be a time to rest and recharge, or, perhaps an adrenaline filled challenge or an action packed adventure. But most importantly of all, travel should be personal to you.
Whatever your preference, I’d be delighted to take care of you and your families plans. Your journey with me starts from our first interaction and doesn’t end until you return home. I will be your single point of contact, your dedicated personal travel planner. If you have a preference to speak to me in the evening or would prefer to discuss your trip in person, both can be arranged. I am primarily based in The Cotswolds and can regularly be found in my home town of Swindon too.
I look forward to speaking to you and turning your holiday dreams into reality.

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

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.

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!

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.

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!

Jen has listened very carefully to what we requested, put a fab package together very close to the tight budget that I gave her. On top of this, Jen has answered my multiple questions & tweaked the holiday a few times to help bring it in closer to budget & to fit changes in our requirements. She has been fantastic!

Jen turned what was for me a complicated multi-city, 8-week holiday plan into a stress-free and simple process, compared to what I could achieved pouring over the internet for hours on end. At all times, Jennifer was courteous, professional and displayed a good breadth and depth of knowledge of airlines and holiday destinations. We will certainly use her again for our next big overseas holiday

'When we decided towards the end of August that we could fit in a break mid-October, we didn't hold out much hope that we would be able to find what we wanted at such short notice, which was a two week cruise, preferably out of Southampton and going somewhere warm.
Despite it being the Friday afternoon before the bank holiday, within a couple of hours Jen at Travel Counsellors had found and booked us on a cruise to the Caribbean. Over the next couple of weeks, Jen sorted out the admin, giving us a gentle nudge when there was something that we needed to do and sending our travel documents within good time.
The whole experience was stress-free and we'll definitely be asking Jen to sort out our future trips.

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
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
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
