It's Nice To Meet You

Hi I'm Joanne, thank you for taking the time to visit my page.

My job is to help you plan and create your dream holiday, taking the utmost care, all whilst getting to know you personally. I pride myself in providing the very best customer service and I want your holiday to tick all of the boxes. Being an independent Travel Counsellor means that I can give you unbiased recommendations, I’m not tied to any particular company, which means more choice for you.

I take away all of the stress of planning, researching and booking you trip so that you can relax knowing that everything is taken care of.

I literally have the world at my fingertips, so whether you're looking for a honeymoon, city break, luxury beach escape, a solo trip, an Antarctic cruise, safari, Disney, or a festive trip to Lapland, I can book the holiday of your dreams. I also know a thing or two about family travel (having two young children of my own) and how difficult that can be, so family travel is something that I especially enjoy helping people with.

I am also an air charter specialist, so if you need to get somewhere efficiently, or maybe you have corporate or VIP requirements, please get in touch.

I get to know my clients so that, in time, I know you need a holiday before you even pick up the phone! My job is to make sure that you have an incredible time - EVERY time. With me it really is personal, and I look forward to getting to know you.

We’ve put our heads together to share a few of our favourite places that can be just as good or even

How to maximise your 2025 annual leave

How to maximise your 2025 annual leave

With a bit of strategic thinking, you can effectively turn your 26 days' annual leave in 2025 into 56, by booking time off around the eight UK public bank holidays. Doing so gives you longer stretches of time off and hence the chance to get away for longer – great news for all of us, but especially for parents trying to navigate school holidays. The 2025 UK bank holiday dates are 1st January, 18t

Sustainable Travel: Good for People and Planet

Sustainable Travel: Good for People and Planet

Sustainable or “Responsible” travel is the buzzword of the moment, but it’s so much more than the latest top trend. Day by day we’re waking up to the fact that we should be as kind to our planet as we are to our pocket, ensuring that the locations and communities we love to visit across the globe are preserved for generations to come. As a Travel Counsellor, I run my business as sustainably as pos

What my customers say

Jo was fantastic from the moment I got in touch with her. I had never used a personal travel counsellor before, but with this being our first holiday abroad as a family with our new baby girl, I wanted to ensure it was going to be a special and memorable holiday. With Jo’s experience of also travelling with a young baby the same age as ours, I felt like I could trust her recommendations as after discussion I felt like she completely understood the vibe and style of holiday that we were going for! Our holiday did not disappoint and we have memories to last a lifetime now to look back on forever. What stood out for me was the extra time and patience Jo gave me as I found it hard to decide which holiday to choose as I wanted to make sure I’d made the right choice. She even spent time to give me helpful tips which helped me make my final decision! Being very busy, I just found it great that the time spent searching for a holiday was taken out of my hands, making it a stress-free experience, saving me so much time, and Jo narrowed down options using my preferences, to carefully selected resorts, some of which she’d also had personal experience of. I have already recommended Jo to my friends and family, and have contacted her for further holidays since! She is absolutely brilliant and will save you so much time finding reasonable prices within your budget where she can! Highly recommend - use Jo for your holidays! X

Simply fantastic service and communication from start to finish. Not to mention a better deal than the three other travel agents we approached. We were recommended by a very close friend so we knew we were in safe hands already. Now we are both really looking forward to an amazing honeymoon in Barbados. We will definitely be calling Joanne again for our future bookings.
