Mediterranean Beaches, Disney Magic & Once‑in‑a‑Lifetime Adventures Worldwide
Looking for your next holiday but not sure where to start? Whether you are dreaming of sun‑kissed beaches in Greece and Spain, a relaxing escape on the Mediterranean, a magical Disney adventure, or a tailor‑made journey through Vietnam, Japan or Thailand, I am here to plan it all for you.
I am Lesley, your personal Travel Counsellor based in Lincolnshire, with over 30 years’ experience creating holidays that are as unique as the people taking them.
I began my career on the high street and quickly realised that travel was not just a job for me, it was my life. Since then I have helped hundreds of customers with everything from easy beach breaks to complex multi‑centre itineraries, honeymoons and cruises.
I have been lucky enough to travel widely, gaining first‑hand knowledge I now use for my clients. I have explored many parts of the Mediterranean, including beautiful beaches in Greece and Spain, and the Greek Islands where I once worked as a holiday rep. I have also visited the USA including Disney, the Far East and Australia. This on‑the‑ground experience means I can recommend the right destinations, resorts and cruise lines, along with those little insider tips you simply do not get from searching online.
My key specialities include:
• Disney holidays and family theme park breaks
• Tailor‑made itineraries all over the world, including Vietnam, Japan and Thailand
• Holidays to Greece, Spain and Mediterranean beach destinations
• Walking holidays across Europe and scenic touring
• Ocean and river cruises
• Once‑in‑a‑lifetime adventures, from bucket‑list trips to Antarctica to special celebration journeys
• Honeymoons, weddings abroad and milestone occasions
As an independent Travel Counsellor, I am not tied to any one tour operator, which means I can search a wide range of options to find the right holiday at the right price for you. I combine award‑winning technology with genuine personal service to build an itinerary that fits your wishes, pace and budget.
Everything you book with me is 100% financially protected through our unique Travel Counsellor Trust, giving you complete peace of mind. I am proud that much of my business comes from repeat clients and personal recommendations, built on the extra care I take and the relationships I have formed over the years.
If you would like to receive my free email newsletters with handpicked holiday ideas, travel inspiration and special offers, just send me an email and I will be happy to add you to my list.
You can also join me on Facebook to keep up to date with my latest travel news, tips and offers, and to get to know me a little better.
I would love to help you plan your next escape, from a gentle walking holiday in Europe to a once‑in‑a‑lifetime adventure in Antarctica. Get in touch and let us start creating your perfect holiday.

Hong Kong
If there is one worldwide city you have to visit, Hong Kong is it! It certainly does live up to all its hype, and has to be one of the world's most photogenic cities!

Let's plan your dream trip together
Tailor-made for you
Your holiday isn’t just a trip away. It’s a longed-for escape, time to reconnect with loved ones, or a dream adventure you never thought possible. That’s why I take the time to truly get to know you and understand your hopes and expectations, then use my experience, connections and passion for the destination to create a trip that makes those dreams a reality.
Personalised service. Always
When you plan a holiday with me, you’ll be given my personal mobile number from the very first call.

And I’ll share my personal tips and recommendations, so you can experience the true beauty of each destination.
