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.

Full on family fun, at the Anda Barut Collection in Didim
Anda Barut Collection in Didim has been one of clients top picks since it opened in 2024, so I was delighted to be able to try it for myself, with my bestie and our 3 children ranging from 4 - 10. Here is why we loved it and why I think it works brilliantly for families, couples and multigenerational groups alike.

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
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
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
