I’m Laura – travel obsessive, mum of two, and lover of meaningful adventures, here to create unique holidays that truly connect you with the world.
I’ve lived and worked in some incredible places, picking up stories and favourite spots everywhere from bustling cities to remote villages. For me, the real magic happens when you ditch the tourist trail and dive into local life, sampling street food, meeting locals, and collecting unexpected memories along the way.
Slow travel is my speciality, especially by train, giving you time to soak up the scenery and savour every experience. I’m passionate about helping travellers discover holidays that are rich, immersive, and anything but ordinary.
I'm a firm believer that family holidays shouldn’t be predictable or dull. I believe children (and grown-ups) deserve adventure, comfort, and moments that matter.
With me, you get truly personal service: tailored advice, care at every stage, and the backing of Travel Counsellors’ global expertise and trusted partners. No call centres, just support from someone who knows your name and understands your wishlist.

We’ve used Laura for our last two holidays to Spain and Majorca, and she has been absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Nothing is ever too much trouble for her, she takes the time to really understand what we’re looking for and always finds the perfect options to suit us.
Both trips were seamless thanks to Laura’s organisation, attention to detail, and friendly approach. From the initial planning to the final touches, everything was handled professionally and with genuine care.
We wouldn’t book a holiday without her now - highly recommended!

I would 100% recommend Laura, both in terms of helping with research and booking, but also taking the faff and stress out of travel itself so you can concentrate on having a good time away! It felt amazing knowing she was there if anything went wrong (which it didn't - we had a wonderful trip) and I really appreciated having all of our documents sent over so it was one less thing to think about. I don't think I would have found our resort through my own research (and didn't have the time anyway) and it was just what we needed, I would definitely go back again.

Laura planned our wonderful holiday to Cyprus for the October half term. Prior to contacting Laura, we had been struggling to find the right holiday. Laura took all the stress and hassle out of it and understood exactly what we were looking for. We had a fantastic holiday and everything ran very smoothly. Laura's communication is excellent. I would highly recommend Laura, thank you again.

Laura put together the perfect Cyprus holiday for me and my partner. She responded immediately when we had any questions and gave us some wonderful off-the-beaten-track ideas to make our time abroad even more memorable.

Amazing service, personalised holiday planning with lots of lovely touches along the way. Laura was always extremely helpful, dealt with all our questions and found us an ideal place to stay - and then arranged it all from start to finish. Honestly, I can't think why anyone wouldn't use her services.

My husband and I recently booked a touring holiday in Colorado. Laura Sigsworth was an excellent Counsellor! Despite our vague guidance (such as ‘mountains’, ‘wildlife’, ‘comfy hotels - but not too expensive’) she devised two detailed suggested itineraries which both sounded just right. She had clearly understood our requirements, despite our vagueness! Having chosen one option (Yellowstone NP) we then completely changed our minds (August - crowds, traffic) but Laura was unfazed and produced a whole new itinerary (Rocky Mountains NP) which we opted for, and it was great. All the bookings (return flights, 5 different hotels, walking tour, hire car) worked without a hitch, and the TC app was easy to use and store all the relevant vouchers on. We decided to change the hire car drop-off location in Denver while we were there, and Laura sorted it for us immediately. Once we were home, she called to check that everything had gone ok. She was very calm and efficient yet very personable, and we felt we were in safe hands throughout. We have usually booked our trips on line ourselves in the past, but having Laura arrange everything cut out so much hassle!

My travel arrangements were very straight forward but you did everything so quickly which really helped me and my lack of technical knowledge. I will definitely recommend you to any family & friends. Thank you.

Swift and efficient, only listened to my quite complicated request once and the itinerary was compiled with a few of her own additions. Looking forward to my trip and asking her advice again.

We booked a family holiday with Laura and it was by far the best holiday booking process I’ve ever been through! We weren’t really sure what we wanted outside of vague parameters and Laura considered our requirements carefully and gave us brilliant options, then helped us refine them to find our perfect holiday. She did all the admin for us and made sure we had considered all the aspects of travel one might forget, including sorting an airport hotel and car parking for us. The actual holiday she booked for us was outstanding - an amazing hotel with everything we wanted. There were so many lovely personalised touches in the booking process and it was so reassuring to know there was someone to help if we had any problems out there (we didn’t). I cannot recommend her enough and will never book a holiday without her again!

Laura went out of her way in all aspects of our travel. She took time to understand exactly what we wanted from our trip, offering a range of options until we found the right kind of trip. Then she attended to all queries about the services at the resort, liaising with the hotel and providing answers to our questions promptly. She checked us in to our flights, which was very handy, and most importantly helped with an issue whilst we were away. I doubt that we would have been able to resolve the problem without intervention from Laura and Travel Counsellors. For all of those reasons, we highly recommend Laura and will be booking with her again. It was also lovely that she is local to us, and we were able to meet her. Thanks so much for a wonderful trip Laura -- one to remember!

We were looking at several options, in parallel, not with travel counsellors. However in the end, we thought Laura was great. The package and help she gave swayed us and we wouldn't hesitate to go back to Laura in the future.

So, full disclosure. I did not expect to have a good time in Rome with 2 kids under 5. Especially, my kids. The oldest (4) refuses to walk anywhere further than the local shop and hates crowds, retreating inside the cocoon of his buggy like an A-list celeb on the run from the paps. My youngest (2) just has no sense of danger and would literally run laughing into oncoming traffic. Which, as we know
When we told friends and family that we were planning on touring Jordan for two weeks with our kids (aged 4 and 1), we got a few funny looks. ‘Are you sure?’, ‘Is it safe?’, ‘How will you manage with the baby?’, people asked.
But having got through covid and done a few more ‘low-key’ trips with the kids to Cyprus and Spain, me and my husband were desperate to reclaim our travelling youth and do
