Based In Redcar
Hello, I am Joanne, your personal Travel Counsellor based in Redcar, North Yorkshire. Travel has always been my passion, and I love nothing more than designing holidays that feel completely “you” – from the first idea right through to the moment you return home.
I offer a truly personal, one‑to‑one travel service with meticulous attention to detail. Whether you are dreaming of a luxury beach escape, a tailor‑made tour, a special celebration with family and friends or a once‑in‑a‑lifetime adventure, I will take the time to really get to know you, your travel style, likes and dislikes. That way, I can create a bespoke itinerary that offers exceptional value and feels perfectly tailored to your needs.
From researching destinations and hand‑picking accommodation, to arranging private transfers, excursions and those all‑important little touches, I take the stress and uncertainty out of planning. You can relax, focus on the excitement of your trip and start thinking about what to pack, while I look after the hard work in the background.
I do not work standard 9–5 hours. Instead, I offer flexible appointments in the evenings and at weekends so we can chat at a time that genuinely suits you, whether that is over the phone, video call or message.
As part of Travel Counsellors, a world‑leading travel company, my customers benefit from 100% financial protection through a unique trust fund, our highly rated 5* Trustpilot reviews that reflect the exceptional service we provide, and 24/7 duty office support should anything unexpected occur while you are away. You will also have access to our handy app, which keeps all your travel documents and personalised booking information in one place, in real time.
My goal is simple: to give you a smoother, more enjoyable and more rewarding travel experience than you could create on your own. I will be here to support you at every stage of your journey, so you can travel with complete confidence and make unforgettable memories.
If you would like to start planning your next trip, I would be delighted to help.

Finally we are starting to see Tour Operators and sightseeing companies, put aside the pound signs in their eyes and drop cruel and unethical "touristy" animal experiences. I was lucky enough to be able to arrange a honeymoon to Cambodia involving a visit to one of the "ethical" elephant sanctuaries. The Mondulkuri Elephant Valley Project is a registered Cambodian NGO. Their key motivation over

Details kindly provided by a lovely customer who writes as Wayfarer's Travels…. Banjul provides a convenient starting point from which to explore deeper into Africa. Roads (if you can call them that) are far and few between so it`s essential to hire a boat and crew for a couple of weeks. The river is very wide for the first few miles and due to the currents, it`s quite unusual in that one side i
