It's Nice To Meet You
Hello and welcome!
I’m Laura — your dedicated personal travel specialist based in South Derbyshire.
For me, life is all about making memories — and I genuinely love helping people create theirs through travel. 🩵
Holidays aren’t just about flights and hotels. They’re about the laughter, the sunsets, the conversations, and the moments you’ll remember long after you’re home. That’s why I take the time to really understand what you want from your trip — so it feels right for you.
Why Book Your Holiday With Me?
Tailored Travel That Fits You Perfectly
No two travellers are the same. I listen to what matters most to you so your holiday feels personal, relaxed, and completely “you.”
Friendly, Honest Advice You Can Trust
I treat your plans as if they were my own. I won’t recommend something just for the sake of it — if I don’t think it’s right, I’ll always be upfront. My goal is simple: to help you have the best experience possible.
Stress-Free Planning From Start to Finish
From researching the best options to handling bookings, special requests, and any last-minute changes, I take care of the details so you don’t have to.
Your Money Is Fully Protected
Booking through Travel Counsellors means your money — and your peace of mind — are protected every step of the way.
Here for You, Whenever You Need Me
Before, during & after your trip. I’m always here to help if plans change or you need assistance, making sure that make everything goes smoothly.
I’m not just here to book a holiday — I’m here to make sure you feel confident, cared for and genuinely excited about your plans. Because in the end, it’s the memories that matter… and I’d love to help you create them. ✨
Looking forward to hearing from you,
