It's Nice To Meet You

I’m Laura, your personal Travel Counsellor, mum of two and long-time travel obsessive. I’m here to design journeys that really reflect you, your life and the way you like to travel.

I’ve lived and worked abroad and fallen for places far away from the usual tourist spots. Over the years I have learned that the best memories come from real, everyday life; the tiny café you stumble across, the train ride where the landscape changes outside your window, the welcome you get in a small, family-run hotel. I love connecting my clients with those kinds of experiences, in ways that support local people and respect the places you visit.

Slow, immersive travel is what I love most. I design trips so you can really get to know each place you visit, rather than rushing from sight to sight. My holidays are rich in local flavour and culture, but still feel comfortable, relaxed and easy to enjoy. Wherever possible, I look for choices that are more thoughtful for the planet too, whether that is travelling by rail, staying longer in fewer places or choosing partners who care about their communities.

Family adventures are a big part of what I do. As a mum of two, I know the best trips with children are the ones where everyone gets to explore, try something new and still have space to unwind. I plan journeys that feel like genuine adventures, not routine holidays, with memories you will talk about for years.

When you book with me, you are looked after from the first idea to the moment you arrive back home. You have one dedicated point of contact, recommendations shaped around what you love, and the reassurance of travelling with an experienced Travel Counsellor by your side every step of the way.

If you are ready for something a bit different, I would love to help you plan your next adventure.

Volcanoes, Islands and Ice Cream: Our Overland Family Trip Across Indonesia

Volcanoes, Islands and Ice Cream: Our Overland Family Trip Across Indonesia

Indonesia is a country I know well. I used to live there, and it is where I met my husband. It is probably my favourite place in the world. After Covid foiled our plans to revisit in 2021, 2025 became the year to do it! This time though, we had two kids in tow.

5 Amazing Destinations for Fans of Video Games

Where do you get your travel inspiration? You might think of the obvious contenders: Instagram, magazines, TV travel shows? But there are some more unlikely sources of travel inspiration that perhaps you haven’t thought of: video games. That might sound unusual if you are not a gamer, but in a world where video games offer increasingly immersive and visually stunning landscapes, it comes as no su

Take the Kids to Rome!

Take the Kids to Rome!

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

Five reasons why Jordan is a great place to travel with kids

Five reasons why Jordan is a great place to travel with kids

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

What my customers say

The support throughout this trip, from initial enquiry to getting us home, has been amazing and we are recommending you to all who ask and anyone who will listen.

Paul W

Coventry

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!

Matt S

Cambridge

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.

Lizzy D

Peterborough

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.

Helen Seekings-Denham

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.

Will S

Croydon

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!

Prue H

Cambridge

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.

Diana F

Seaton

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.

Fiona S

Newmarket

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!

Rebecca Lyon

Cambridge

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!

Maya Parmar

Cambridgeshire

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.

Gareth R

Cambridge

Laura's been really helpful and responsive, and worked hard to plan an itinerary that fitted with our budget

Jo R

Sheffield

I already have recommended her to several friends! The most stress free holiday booking experience I’ve ever had.
