It's Nice to Meet you - I'm looking forward to working with you !
I’m Kerensa - based in Brookmans Park, Hertfordshire. With over 10 years’ experience as a luxury travel advisor and a career that began with 16 years on a busy Fixed Income trading floor selling Syndicated Loans in investment banking, I like to think I bring a unique understanding of what busy professionals and families truly value when they travel — seamless organisation, exceptional service, and complete peace of mind.
Having travelled extensively throughout my banking career, I understand the demands of both corporate and leisure travel and the importance of every detail being perfectly managed,seemlessly. Whether arranging complex business itineraries, luxury family holidays, or bespoke escapes, I create personalised experiences designed to make travel effortless and enjoyable. Friends and family have sought my holiday advice for years knowing I do that extensive, in-depth research, demand high quality, expect good value, love lots of luxury and I know just how important holidays are!
I specialise in luxury family travel for busy families looking to relax, reconnect, and enjoy a stress-free holiday with every detail taken care of. Through Travel Counsellors, my clients benefit from personalised service, trusted expertise, and 24/7 duty office support while travelling.
As someone who is half Greek, Greece holds a special place in my heart, and I have extensive first-hand knowledge of the islands, mainland resorts, and hidden gems that make it such an incredible destination. My recent travels have also taken me to Vietnam, The Bahamas, and the Maldives, allowing me to offer up-to-date insight and personal recommendations for some of the world’s most sought-after destinations.
My approach is personal, detail-focused, and built around creating exceptional travel experiences tailored to each client’s individual needs.
Although I work from home, I have many local clients but so many are based all over the UK, some in USA and other international destinations too. I’m available throughout the day and evenings - even if I’m not at my desk I will always respond quickly so I can help you start making your exciting holiday plans without delay!
So apart from my annual trips to Greece I've been busy recently with some must see destinations in the name of research:

Taking Time in Vietnam to relax after the hustle and bustle IHG Hotel Style
I was recently invited to join 6 others on a trip to experience 3 spectacular IHG hotels, and so if Vietnam had a luxury travel hall of fame, these three resorts would all deserve a place in it: Six Senses Con Dao, Six Senses Ninh Van Bay, and InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort. What surprised me most on this trip wasn’t just how beautiful these properties were — it was how perfectly th

Why the Maldives Needs to Be Back on Everyone’s Travel List
After three stays in the Maldives, I can confidently say this destination is so much more than the picture-perfect Instagram shots we all know and love. Yes, the water really is that turquoise, the sunsets are unreal, and the villas feel like something from a dream — but what keeps drawing me back is something much deeper. In a world where we are constantly connected, overstimulated, and rushing

Girls Long Weekend in Barbados March
You may think it’s a mad idea but you are very wrong! You'd actually be mad not to try this ! Barbados is one of my favourite destinations. It has so much to offer - fabulous weather pretty much most of the year, although traditionally it’s a great winter sun destination. As it’s tropical the weather is great all year round and those tropical showers are bearable in the out of peak times.

Dubai May Half Term
Dubai May Half Term We've not long come back from an amazing week with family and friends in Dubai and I cant recommend it highly enough!
