It's Nice To Meet You
Hello my name is Linda Pears and I am based in Congleton, Cheshire.
I have worked in the travel industry for over 35 years, joining Travel Counsellors as a personal travel advisor in 2007.
I absolutely love travel and I take pride in going the extra mile for my customers to create the perfect holiday for them.
I have been lucky enough to visit some amazing countries; Australia, Hawaii, and the Maldives to name but a few and more recently Japan and India, which were amazing. This, along with my own personal holidays around Europe and beyond, enables me to give you first-hand experience and travel advice about the places you want to see.
Cruising and skiing are also my passions and I have been fortunate enough to visit many ships and sail around some fabulous ports of call as well as ski in some amazing mountain resorts.
Whatever your travel needs, from honeymoons to golf, from tours to city breaks, I can help make it happen and it makes me feel proud that so many of my loyal customers make it their business to recommend my service to their friends, family and colleagues.
I can also help with corporate travel, specialising in business class flights and groups within the UK, Europe and beyond.
So the next time you are looking for that perfect holiday experience or the business trip to clinch that deal, please feel free to get in touch.
I look forward to hearing from you in the future.

Nautical Norway
Sailing Into the Fjords: My Iona Cruise to Norway This April I was lucky enough to join a stunning cruise to Norway on Iona, and I wanted to share a little insight into the experience. If you have ever wondered what it is really like to wake up to snow‑tipped mountains, glassy fjords and pretty waterfront towns, this will give you a taste of what to expect. Our itinerary took us from the UK up t

Real Spain
I’ve recently returned from a relatively unknown part of Spain, Costa Tropical. The reason behind its low key image I think may have something to do with people keeping it secret! Sandwiched in-between Costa del Sol and Costa de Almeria, the Costa Tropical consists of various resorts such as Almunecar, Motril and Salobrena. I stayed inland in Veluz de Benaudella, a pretty town set in a valley s

Captivating Kalkan
A fabulous start! Our luxury transfer minibus was waiting outside. The authorities don’t allow meet and greet inside the terminal so just follow the crowd two hundred yards to where you’ll find people waiting. Greeted with a cool towel and a bottle of water, we were on our way. At the Likya Residence we were met by the lovely Sevy and taken straight to the pool bar for a welcome drink. Straigh

Glorious Guernsey
Arriving at Manchester Airport, we met our hosts for the weekend; Clive from Aurigney Airlines and Emma from Manchester Airport. After a coffee in the Escape Lounge we made our way to board for the one hour journey to Guernsey. On the approach we flew over neighbouring islands of Sark and Herm before landing in the recently refurbished airport. After a quick lunch at the St. Pierre Park we made

Magical Maldives
I have been fortunate enough to visit several of the islands that make up “The Maldives” and I can honestly say that each one offers their own piece of paradise. After landing in the capital Male, I waited for the speed boat that was to take me to my first island; Meedupparu. This island is located in the Raa Atoll and is approximately 4 hours away by speedboat or just 45 minutes away by seapla

Stunning Switzerland
I was lucky enough to be given the opportunity to see this amazing country. I set off with Swiss Airlines for my first experience of the Swiss efficiency. Once in Zurich I boarded the train heading for Berne. It left perfectly on time and connected with an equally punctual train to Interlaken. On arrival I was immediately struck by how clean and tidy everything was, down to every shop window lo

Spectacular Scandanavia
On arrival in snowy Oslo, it was time to transfer to the next flight to continue the journey North to the Arctic Circle and a place called Tromso. My first experience was dog sledging on the outskirts of the city and I was fortunate enough to drive the sledge myself, something which I can highly recommend; followed by a traditional Norwegian meal in a Lavvo (looks like a wigwam) and finished of

Fabulous Frejus
Situated between St.Tropez and Cannes, Frejus is a large sprawling town with some famous Roman ruins. The centre of the town is compact with lots of shops and pedestrian streets. The focal point being the cathedral in the centre, set in a very pretty square. I stayed just outside of the town with views overlooking the nearby hills. A very relaxed way of life ensued for the rest of the week.
