It's Nice To Meet You
Hello, I'm Kirstie. Thanks for taking the time to visit my webpage.
If you are hoping to create lifelong memories without the stress of planning, you have come to the right place. I have a wealth of experience in the travel industry and can use my own professional expertise, along with my extensive personal travel experience to personally tailormake your perfect trip or holiday and I will also take care of every little detail along the way to ensure everything goes smoothly for you from start to finish.
I am lucky enough to live just outside of the beautiful city of Edinburgh with my four youngest children, our family dogs and pet cat. I am perhaps even more lucky to truly love my job and what I do, helping my clients acheive their dream holidays and making it easy and stress free for them and I feel especially lucky when clients share their beautiful trips with me. As well as my passion for travel, I am dedicated to customer service, so it really does fill me with joy to know just how much clients have enjoyed their trips and knowing they have made memories that will last forever.
My office is in my home, as I work flexible hours to suit my clients, including evenings and weekends. I am truly independent and have access to all of the very best suppliers worldwide, so I can help personally tailor your next trip. I am available, personally, along with the dedicated 24/7 Travel Counsellors Duty Office, so a real person who cares is always there if you need someone or have any question at all at any time, including whilst you are away. I will always go the extra mile for any of my clients.
Could your next trip be a beautiful beach holiday, a totally unique off the beaten track adventure, a city break, cruise, honeymoon, retirement trip or even a group or extended family trip? I'd be delighted to help you. Why not get in touch today and we can start planning?

Kirstie has been very patient with us and our many questions. We were a larger group and Kirstie went out of her way to ensure our requirements were fulfilled. My Mum struggles with breathing and Kirstie ensured our rooms were close to the main hotel complex to reduce the amount of walking for Mum. Kirstie worked late many nights to find us a suitable holiday as we only gave her 1 weeks notice.

Would highly recommend Kirstie, she was very friendly and helpful and explained everything in detail made sure I was happy with everything. She is easy to contact and has helped me with any questions even after I booked . She truly is amazing and wouldn’t use anyone else now to book future holidays.

I have already recommended Kirstie to all my friends, she was so polite, friendly and easy to use. 10/10 for customer service and was available at unsociable hours when usually you would not usually get a response. She has made the experience of booking so easy. Cannot recommend enough

Unfortunately I had to cancel my Disneyland trip due to the pandemic. Kirstie understood completely & instantly began the process of issuing me a refund. Less than 24 hours after she said it’s completed the money is back in my account ready for when I can rebook. Thank you Kirstie you have been so incredibly helpful & reassuring during this trying time! Cannot recommend her enough!

Snorkelling The Silfra Fissure
23 February 2023
I have wanted to snorkel in The Silfra FIssure, the only place in the world where you can snorkel between two continents and touch them both at once, ever since I knew it existed. I'm not a particular fan of snorkelling (and definitely not a fan of getting cold!) but have done a few resort dives and snorkels over the years and something about the photos I had seen of Silfra had drawn me in. It loo
Cappadocia, Turkey
27 March 2021
I hadn't actually heard of Cappadocia until I began working at Travel Counsellors. It came up during some training and I was immediately in awe of this unique and special place. The lunar-like landscapes you can see there are formed by years of erosion and extreme weather conditions. (Cappadocia is beautifully hot in Summer, but usually sees snow in winter!) I've never been a fan of heights, but t

Holidaying With A Child With Additional Needs
12 May 2020
I have a now sixteen year old son with additional needs. He has Down's Syndrome. Naturally, because of this and because he attends a school for pupils who have additional needs, I speak to lots of other parents whose children also have additional needs and it has really made me realise over the years how different this situation is for each parent and how the needs of our children vary. How for so
Never Considered Berlin? Here's Why I Love It...
22 February 2020
I had never really considered Berlin for a city break, so when my partner suggested a few nights there in March, I'll admit I searched every other possible city in Europe to try and find somehwere else, but ultimately, Berlin offered great value and he was so keen I found it hard to say no. So, we booked... Where to stay? Berlin has some fantastic hotel, from modest budget offerings to out and
