Hello, I am Maggie and I am truly passionate about travel. In 2025 I moved to Verwood in Dorset to enjoy the beautiful countryside and be closer to the sea, while continuing to do what I love most: creating exceptional holidays for my clients.
I have worked in the travel industry for over 40 years, across both leisure and business travel, and I have been running my own business as a Personal Travel Counsellor for more than 30 years. During that time, I have built long-standing relationships with many of my clients, often looking after several generations of the same family. I offer a one‑to‑one, truly personal service, taking the time to understand what matters most to you so I can tailor‑make the perfect trip.
As a Travel Counsellor, I use award‑winning technology and the support of a world‑leading independent travel company to search and compare a wide range of airlines, hotels, cruise lines and tour partners. This gives me access to an extensive choice of trusted suppliers, helping me to find the best options to suit your individual needs and budget. Everything I book is financially protected by the Travel Counsellors Financial Trust, giving you complete peace of mind.
My own travels have taken me all over the world, and this first‑hand experience is something I love to share with my clients. I have been fortunate to visit destinations including Borneo, Australia, New Zealand, India, Mexico, Dubai, Thailand, Singapore and Bali. In the Indian Ocean I have explored the Maldives and Sri Lanka. I have enjoyed incredible adventures in Africa, including South Africa, Kenya, Tanzania and Egypt. In the USA I have travelled through many states and cities such as Florida, California, Texas, Boston and New York. I have relaxed, sailed and dived in the Caribbean, including the British Virgin Islands. Closer to home, I have visited many European favourites including Italy, Spain, Greece, Croatia, Portugal, France and Iceland.
I genuinely love my job and pride myself on exceptional customer service and attention to detail, looking after every aspect of your trip from the initial ideas right through to your return home. Whether you are planning a honeymoon, a cruise, a multi‑centre itinerary, a safari, a beach or villa holiday, a golf break or a city escape, or you simply need some friendly, impartial advice to shape your next adventure, I am here to help.
I would be delighted to take the stress out of organising your holiday so that you can simply relax and look forward to going away.
I really look forward to hearing from you.

Relaxing holiday in May
I have recently returned from a fabulous holiday on the beautiful island of Kefalonia, which is in the Ionian Sea, west of mainland Greece. We hired a car at the airport. The roads are fairly easy to navigate, and it helped us make the most of the holiday, seeing more of the island. We drove through the mountains, in the middle of the island, on the twisting roads, explored the rugged coast li

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.

When you plan a holiday with me, you’ll be given my personal mobile number from the very first call.
