It's Nice To Meet You
Hello, my name is Lisa Brady and I am proud to be a Travel Agent, more importantly an award winning Gold Travel Counsellor, located in Newcastle, with clients living worldwide.
Having worked in the travel industry for 15+ years before changing to a corporate role, then taking a break to set up a construction company with my husband, whilst also having three children. I am delighted to be part of this amazing industry.
My career journey has enabled me to have extensive knowledge of not only travel, but corporate requirements, the construction industry, the joys of running your own business and having the right people to take care of the most important things…which takes me back to travel.
Travel for all is my absolute passion. Indeed, I specialise in making travel accessible and inclusive – everywhere and for everyone. Through specialist training, experience and having access to the best suppliers and destination managers in the world, I can organise your perfect trip with considerations to the most accessible hotels, additional equipment, adapted vehicles, whatever it takes to ensure your holiday, wedding, honeymoon, business trip etc. suits your requirements perfectly.
Every destination has something new to offer and I have always seen it as my role to fact find the destinations to discover its true potential just for you. From skiing and dune buggies in Dubai, visiting the penguins on a beach in Cape Town to learning to surf in the heart of Northumberland. I haven’t been everywhere (yet) but, it is on my list!
Being a Travel Counsellor gives me the opportunity to be the go to person for a wider range of clients in delivering excellence in service with an impartial, financially backed company. My time is spent creating the perfect travel experience for my clients.
‘Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbour, catch the trade winds in your sales. Explore. Dream. Discover.’ Mark Twain

It was lovely to feel I could hand over all the responsibility to someone who could take care of everything related to booking a trip to New Zealand. Lisa did a wonderful job and in no time it was all done. I highly recommend getting in touch with Lisa for your holiday and take the worry out of your hands and place all that is required in Lisa's very capable hands.

We've had 2 amazing ( trouble free) holidays with Lisa now and we're looking forward to the next one in a few weeks time. Before we even woke up to find our flight had been delayed which meant we would miss our connecting flight, Lisa had it sorted and had booked us on the later connection . Stress free . Friendly personal service from someone who knows what sort of holiday you enjoy.

River Cruise with Teens
04 February 2023
River cruise with teens There is a perception that river cruise is for a certain age group. Whilst slow travel is perfect for those already retired & perhaps already appreciating a slower pace of life, it’s not an exclusive to any age bracket. Summer 2022 I got to test this by travelling on the luxury river cruise line, Uniworld, with my 14-year-old daughter – Lola. Some thought Lola would be b
