With over 30 years experience


Hello, and thank you for taking the time to visit my website.

I’m Karen, and I’d love to become your very own personal Travel Counsellor.

With over 30 years of experience in the travel industry, travel isn’t simply my career — it’s something I’m genuinely passionate about. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of helping countless customers turn their travel ideas and dreams into memorable experiences, and I still get just as excited about planning a trip today as I did when I first started.

As an independent Travel Counsellor, I offer a personal, flexible and completely hassle-free service, taking the time to understand what you want from your holiday rather than offering a one-size-fits-all approach. I look after customers right across the UK, from Scotland to the South of England, and wherever you are, I’m always just a phone call away.

One of the things my customers value most is knowing that when they contact me, they’re speaking directly to me. There are no call centres, no waiting in queues and no having to explain your plans over and over again to different people. I’m your personal point of contact from the moment we start planning, right through to your return home.

Working from home allows me to give my customers the time, care and attention they deserve. I’m here to answer your questions, talk through your ideas, offer honest advice and help with those little details that can make such a difference. And if you need me, I’m only ever a phone call or message away.

Over the years, I’ve been fortunate enough to travel to many wonderful places around the world. My own travel experiences, together with more than three decades of working in the industry, have given me a wealth of knowledge that I can share with my customers. Whether you know exactly where you want to go or simply need some inspiration, I’m always happy to chat and help you find the right holiday.

Whether you’re dreaming of a romantic wedding abroad, a relaxing Mediterranean escape, a luxury long-haul adventure, a tailor-made multi-centre itinerary, family holiday or simply need help arranging a business trip, I’m here to take care of all the details.

I believe booking your travel should be an enjoyable experience in itself. My aim is to make the process simple and stress-free, while providing honest, helpful and practical advice from someone who knows you and understands what you’re looking for.

I’m also very proud of the lovely feedback I’ve received from my customers over the years. If you’d like to know what my customers think, please take a look at my reviews — their experiences say so much about the personal service I aim to provide.

So, wherever you’re dreaming of going next, let’s start planning.

Your holiday, your way, with me at the end of the phone.

Karen is outstanding; the best travel counsellor I’ve ever worked with. I’ve trusted her to book all of my holidays for over 10 years, and in that time we’ve built a strong friendship. Her attention to detail, her talent for finding the perfect holiday, and her calm, organised approach to every travel arrangement are second to none. Nothing is ever too much trouble for her. She makes the whole experience easy and enjoyable, and that’s why I would happily recommend her to family and friends.

Sharon Phillips

Karen provided a range of options to start with and then as we narrowed down the priority criteria (price range, flights times) she was able to find a second selection of options.
