It's Nice To Meet You
Hello and thank you for visiting my web page.
My name is Mandy, your personal Travel Counsellor in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, Bolsover and the surrounding area. I may be familiar to you as I have worked as a travel agent in the main two high street agencies in Sutton, Mansfield and Chesterfield over many years since 2001
However, in 2012 I decided that the high street was no longer for me and I discovered a much better way to offer my clients the service and time that they deserve. This was when I discovered Travel Counsellors, which has led to my "clients" now becoming my friends. Being a Travel Counsellor has given me the chance to get to know you personally to tailor make your perfect holiday, because after all, we all have unique wants and needs from our travel.
Working from home I am available at times that suit you to provide a personal and bespoke service throughout.
Travel is a major part of my life, myself and my husband Paul love to travel ourselves. We began our married life by tying the knot in Cyprus and since then we have been lucky enough to visit many countries: Kenya, India, Mexico, Israel, Egypt, Austria, America, Thailand, Greece, Spain, to name just a few! We also enjoy cruising.
There are so many places still on our bucket list, one of them is Lapland with our grandchildren.
Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about me, I really hope that you will get in touch so that I can get to know you and learn about your holiday dreams.
Whether it is a break in the UK, a tour around the States, a cruise, or maybe you are planning your wedding abroad, wherever you want to go, with access to hundreds of suppliers you can be sure that I can get you there. Together with a 100% customer satisfaction score - and 100% financial protection - you can rest assured that you are in the safest of hands.
So please do get in touch so that we can start our journey and turn those dreams into a perfect reality.

Our Staycation with the Pooch!
Well this was a new experience for us! Since we became Mum and Dad to our fur baby Bruce, we decided that as he is such a good boy he deserved a holiday too! After researching the most dog friendly beaches we decided on The Bay in Filey. We stayed in one of the detached houses on the complex, which was a real home from home and the log burner ensured us a warm welcome for a February UK beach bre

Incredible Independence of the Seas and the Mediterranean Cities
We set sail from Southampton on a sunny August afternoon. How relaxing it was not to worry about how much I could pack with no flights to restrict me on how many shoes I could take! We had already taken advantage of the drinks package by pre-booking in advance and this is certainly something I would recommend. Sipping a Pina Colada at the sail away party with not a care in the world, I was relaxed

Beautiful Mauritius
I am passionate about all things travel and I am grateful that I do a job that I love, and just as I thought that it couldn't get any better I was lucky enough to be rewarded with a place on an amazing "work" trip to the stunning island of Mauritius!

Meeru Island Maldives
We travelled from Birmingham via Dubai with Emirates Airlines, and even in economy we were more than happy with the service that we received. Upon arrival in Male I was overwhelmed with how simple the procedure was to find our speedboat to take us the hour long journey to what can only be described as paradise! The moment you arrive on Meeru it is truly breath taking! We were greeted from the

Thailand multi centre
We travelled from Heathrow and our first stop was Bangkok where we stayed three nights at the Majestic Grand hotel, the hotel was in an ideal location with bars and restaurants just outside the hotel. People watching is a fascinating pass time in the city that is for sure, but it is not all hustle and bustle, we had a fantastic day on the floating market, this is a must see whilst in Bangkok.

Mexico - The Pacific Coast
Having been to the Caribbean side of Mexico many times in the past, we decided to try the Pacific coast and it truly is beautiful and has a more local feel. We stayed at the Riu Palace Pacifico and the suite was huge, with complimentary mini bar and the most amazing sea view. There is so much on offer in this part of Mexico, I even tried horse riding for the very first time! The restaur
