It's Nice To Meet You
How can I help you? I am Joanne, I have over 28 years' experience in the travel industry, the last seven as a Travel Counsellor. I deal with all types of holidays, every day is a new adventure from a quick break to tailor made holiday with everything in between including packages, tours, cruises, flights and tailor made itineraries. One thing you can be assured is that I will provide the same personal service each and every time.
I came into the industry because of my love of travelling and have been lucky to have visited many amazing destinations near and far over the years, some favorites are Thailand, Malaysia, Western USA and South Africa. Having a son means Florida and Mediterranean beach holidays were high on the agenda for a number of years visiting many places in Spain, Greece, Turkey, Portugal, Croatia and much more. In recent years we have ventured further afield travelling to Thailand and various parts of the USA including LA, New York, Las Vegas and much of California on a road trip, amazing! I am working on becoming a California Expert!
I am dedicated to ensuring your travel arrangements run smoothly. My ethos has always been to offer a friendly and professional service using my experience and a good eye for detail to ensure each and every trip you have is one to remember, take a look at my testimonials!
One huge bonus is having Travel Counsellors behind me, having a great support network in all areas can give you peace of mind you will looked after at every stage, the difficulties of recent years have given me confidence to know how to deal with all eventualities.
I would be delighted to hear from you and will be available at a time convenient to you, so get in touch for a chat and let me turn your dreams, thoughts and ideas into reality.
