It's Nice To Meet You
Hello, I'm Judith and I live in the beautiful village of Elmton with my partner Roy and our West Highland terriers Bettie and Rosie.
If you are reading this, the chances are you are contemplating booking your perfect holiday or short break very soon. So let me tell you a little about myself.
My love of travel started 27 years ago when living in Greece. I lived around the Greek islands, mainly Corfu, Kos, Crete and Rhodes. Looking after holidaymakers on their special holidays helped me to realise how important your well deserved break away is, and when returning to the UK my desire was to continue to help my customers find the perfect holiday. I worked in a high street agency for a while but quickly began to realise that customers needed an agent who could offer any holiday, anywhere in the world, at anytime of the day especially in the evening after work, an independent agent they could get to know and trust with their travel plans. I became a personal Travel Counsellor 21 years ago and have not looked back.
I now create holidays anywhere in the world. I believe that your holiday should be unforgettable. Everything will be tailored to suit you. The personal contact I have with you through the booking process makes sure we miss nothing. It’s like having a friend book your holiday for you. All you need to provide is the idea, even if it is vague!
I still get excited about all my customers’ travel plans, whether it be a luxury/bespoke tailor-made holiday, long haul destination, package trip, cruise or an adventure tour.
As your Personal Travel Counsellor you will find that I’m refreshingly different from most other travel agents as I work from home, so I am available as times that suit you.
Planning a holiday really is this easy. I am also available 24/7 whilst you are away on holiday and with the myTC app you have access to all your travel documents and my contact details in one place – great ways to give you that all important peace of mind.
Please do not hesitate to call me and I will help you with your holiday requirements, or if you just need some friendly advice on your travel plans.
Get to know me and you’ll love the difference I make when planning your perfect holiday.

Honeymoon Inspiration
I am often asked ‘where do people usually go on honeymoon?’ I believe that a honeymoon is built on the wanderlust of going to somewhere together and bringing together your personal interests to make the perfect trip for you. Honeymoons are all so different, there are no set rules. This is the time to go somewhere that’s incredible and memorable to you! For some, there is nothing better than the

Adventure holidays
Isn’t it interesting how people's travel habits are changing? It was not so long ago that I was spending most of my time arranging European holidays to Greece, Spain and the Algarve. This year, even though the above are still as popular, my time is mainly taken up with my customers asking to help them tick off countries from their bucket list. The most popular trip I have been asked to arran

Tenerife
Today, one of my very good customers will depart for Tenerife for two months. He does so every year to escape to the British winter. Tenerife is a great destination if you are looking for some sun when the days here are dark and miserable. In fact Tenerife is the top destination with my customers for winter holidays. THE SOUTH Tenerife is the largest of the Canary Islands, with the popular res
