It's Nice To Meet You
Hi, I'm Liz
I'm so happy you have visited my page!
My career in travel began over 30 years ago, first as a travel agent and later as cabin crew with a major UK airline. Those years gave me a unique insight into the travel experience both as a customer and a service provider and a true understanding of what makes a holiday special.
While raising a large family, I moved into education as a Learning Support Assistant, a much-loved and rewarding role that shaped my patience, empathy and ability to truly listen. These skills now sit at the heart of how I work with my travel clients.
For the past year, I have proudly worked as a Travel Counsellor, returning to my lifelong passion with renewed knowledge, confidence and enthusiasm and I continue to learn every day. I love researching faraway shores, imagining possibilities and creating tailored trips that truly fit my clients.
I’ve experienced all styles of travel, from short breaks and staycations to family, multi-generational, group, Disney, ski (very much Bridget Jones style!), long-haul, luxury and budget holidays. Favourite destinations include Switzerland, Thailand, the Caribbean, Bermuda, Florida, Ibiza, Skiathos and Cornwall.
I am particularly passionate about helping those who find travel more challenging. Whether supporting guests with additional needs, sensory sensitivities or reduced mobility, I take time to ensure the right accommodation, calm spaces and appropriate assistance from quiet rooms and pools to airport and aircraft support. With personal experience of caring for loved ones with differing needs, I approach every trip with patience, understanding and genuine care.
The award-winning, fully protected Travel Counsellors model allows me to combine global expertise with a truly personal touch. I’d love to connect, hear your ideas and help bring your travel dreams to life.

I first visited in 2023 with the husband to explore the iconic Mamma Mia filming locations on Skopelos. This time, I returned with my 21-year
