Hi, I’m John - Welcome!
Based on the West Coast of Scotland, I joined Travel Counsellors in 2006 and have built a solid business established on the foundation of looking after and caring for my clients, most of whom have become friends.
Over the years, I’ve gained an extensive worldwide travel knowledge, especially in Australia and New Zealand, working with Tourism organisations from both countries and my details can be found on the Australia.com website. I also travel to Australia regularly to keep my knowledge and contacts up to date. However, I don’t just sell Australia and New Zealand! I sell anything and everything and take pride in creating the perfect itinerary for my customers no matter where they want to travel to, whether it is a Mediterranean beach or cruise, a walking holiday, road trip, sporting holiday or anything else. The majority of clients come back regularly and use me for all types of travel, and then go onto recommend me to others. It is something I am very proud of.
With all the years of experience, I specialise in tailor made holidays, but I am also fully experienced in Corporate travel and look after my business clients to the same level as I do my leisure ones. I am able to offer exclusive negotiated airfares and hotels worldwide as well as everything from meetings and events to incentives. Please click on my corporate website for more information.
My customers are located throughout the entire country, and each and every one is at the heart of everything I do. My sole purpose is to create incredible lifelong memories that you will carry with you as the years pass, and hopefully I can help you add to them as you go.
Travel broadens the mind – it makes us better people and is good for our wellbeing. This remarkable world is our stage, so no matter how you do it, go out and experience it.
The fabulous late Rob Burrows said "In a world full of adversity, we must still dare to dream".
I believe dreams can come true, so focus on your 'bucket lists' and give me the honour to help you achieve those dreams!

It was early morning when I stepped off the direct BA overnight service from London to Durban and felt fine, partially due to the 1-hour time difference, and I was looking forward to spending 10 days exploring KwaZulu Natal. I was there courtesy of South African Tourism and along with the other agents the first thing we did was meet out guide Thoko, who turned out to be one of the nicest people

Not having been on holiday for over a year, my wife Karen and I were looking forward to getting away to the sunshine and to the luxurious Sani Beach Resort, in Halkidiki, Greece. It was a simple Easyjet flight from Manchester to Thessaloniki, landing around lunchtime and once we cleared immigration our transfer was waiting to take us the 50 minutes down the coast to the resort. Upon arrival

I was in Australia to attend the Australian Tourism Exchange, held in Adelaide this year and after 90+ meetings in 4 days and several functions, I was ready to get into the outback. The flight from Adelaide took about 2 hours and landed at Alice Springs just before lunchtime. I hadn’t visited The Red Centre for 19 years and I was very keen to see if it was as I remembered. The first thing that

I arrived in Broken Hill after an 11 hour train journey from The Blue Mountains, just outside Sydney. The train is a great way to move long distances and we were greeted with a fantastic sunset over the horizon as we approached Broken Hill. Once we had deposited our bags in the motel, it was off to sample the local hospitality along with my travelling companions, who were with 5 other travel agen

On arrival in Sydney, although a bit bleary eyed after a long flight, the sun was shining and it felt good to be back in the Land of Oz. I was with some other Travel Agents and we were about to undertake a 10 day tour around New South Wales and Victoria using the Australian Rail Network. We only had 1 day in Sydney so it was jam packed with places to go and sites to see. Once we had checked

My reason for going to Montenegro was twofold; to take a relaxing break out of the office and to have a look at what promises to be a new and exciting European holiday destination. My wife, Karen and I flew into Dubrovnik where we had hired a car. We left the airport and within 30 minutes, we were through the border and into Montenegro, heading for Kotor. To get there we had to go through Her
