It's Nice To Meet You

Hi, I’m Katherine and I’m based in Torquay on the sunny south coast.

I’ve worked in the travel industry for over 30 years and in that time I’ve explored every corner of the globe, from the bustling cities of Rio and Shanghai to the remote beaches of French Polynesia and the icy wilderness of Antarctica. Travel is my absolute passion so why not let me share my knowledge and experience to help you create your own dream holiday.

As your personal Travel Counsellor, it’s my job to take away all the stress of booking a holiday. I will work with you every step of the way to create a tailormade itinerary that perfectly suits your needs and budget. Being part of an award winning, global organisation means I have access to a vast array of accommodation options as well as unique experiences that you won’t find anywhere else.

And the best part… there’s no spending hours trawling through the internet or on hold to call centres getting transferred from one department to another. You’ll deal with me and only me. Whether you have a question about your itinerary, have to cancel or change your plans, or need assistance while overseas, I am always just a phone call or email away.

To give you complete peace of mind, all the holidays I offer are fully bonded and financially protected. This means that your money and your trip are safe in the event of any unforeseen circumstances, such as a supplier going out of business. If you need any further reassurance on that, just ask Martin Lewis (he's a big fan of Travel Counsellors!) or check out our 5* Trustpilot reviews.

So whether you’re looking for a quick city break, a week on the beach with a book, an activity holiday with the kids or a bucket list trip of a lifetime, give me a call or drop me an email and let me help you find the perfect getaway.

Life’s too short to stay in one place, so what are you waiting for?!

What my customers say

We felt in very capable hands from the beginning. Katherine's knowledge of Canada surpassed our expectations. She brings her passion for travel and excitement to the process which is certainly infectious!! We are beyond excited for our trip and we can't thank Katherine enough.

Rachael Miles

Newton Abbot

Kath has been brilliant providing a full itinerary whilst also ensuring we had time to relax on certain days and just enjoy our surroundings. She considered our preferences when making suggestions, and allowed us to give our own opinions in the initial call. Katherine provided such a good itinerary that we didn't need any changes made! Everything was sorted quickly and she's been in constant communication for any questions we had. We would definitely recommend Katherine to others.

Millie Perkins

Exmouth

Katherine was just brilliant. Immediately reassuring and on the end of the phone to help with every stage of getting me and my daughter to America. To know she can react quickly and get through to the airline direct is a real life saver if things get tricky. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Charlotte Barton

Exeter

I am so pleased with the service I have received. All of my requirements were mean, even though Katherine had do extra work to meet these specific requests. Her communication has been brilliant, always keeping me updated and informed. She has a real skill of understanding what you really want from your holiday. I will be recommending her to family and friends, definitely rebooking future adventures with her!

Clare Masson

Exeter

Thank you for organising such a fantastic trip. Your hotel choices and tours were brilliant. Thank you for the support while we were away when we were struggling with wifi for checking in and confirming tours - that really was extremely helpful and more than we expected - your personal touch made such a difference. As you know we have always been happy with the trips that Trailfinders have sorted for us but you excelled with this package, so we will be back to book with you again.

Geraldine Davidson

Katherine’s expertise coupled with her kind confident manner supported us in booking our holiday to the U.S.A. She listened and understood fully our requirements and was so efficient with answering further questions and clarifications. Truely a lovely, knowledgeable person who has put together an amazing holiday for our family and couldn’t recommend her highly enough! Thankyou so much Katherine…

We had a fantastic time skiing in Colorado, and the snowmobiling trip that Katherine organised for us was amazing. Her recommendations were spot on and we had an absolutely unforgettable trip.

Caroline Wickham

Katherine has arranged several holidays to the Caribbean for me over the years. Her knowledge of the islands is incredible and she always comes up with the perfect hotels for me. I wouldn't book with anyone else!

Hazel Keegan

Our holiday to Jamaica was an absolute dream thanks to Katherine's personal service and attention to detail. She even managed to find a special offer which meant we could upgrade our flights to business class. It really is the way to travel. We felt like royalty!!
