I'll help you discover the world your way

Hi, I’m Martin and I'm here to make travel as personal and effortless for you as possible.

Whether you’re dreaming about a family getaway or a honeymoon, a cruise, a short break, a milestone trip, a rail journey, your first or next ski trip, a staycation, or a bucket-list adventure - no trip is too big, too small, or too complex.

Over the years, I’ve learned that every traveller - and every trip - is completely unique. The art is more than just booking a holiday - it’s creating something that fits you perfectly. That’s why I take the time to get to know you, your taste, your style, and the small details that matter most when you travel.

Think of me as your personal travel companion - combining expertise with a personal touch, while quietly handling all the logistics so your journey flows seamlessly from start to finish.

With a wealth of travel experience and a trusted global network of specialists in over 100 countries, I’ll help you uncover hidden gems and craft a trip that feels just right for you.

From our first chat to your return home, every detail is taken care of - no more endless searching, scrolling, or second-guessing online results. Instead, you can simply relax and enjoy your journey, knowing it’s been thoughtfully planned around you, with care, insight, attention to detail, and a human touch.

And the best part - my service comes at NO EXTRA COST. I’m paid by trusted suppliers based purely on what’s right for your individual trip, so your interests always come first.

A lot of people enjoy planning their own holidays, and that’s fine when everything runs smoothly. But when plans change or something unexpected pops up, it can quickly become stressful - especially without package protection in place. Suddenly you’re juggling suppliers (often through their websites) and left to make tricky decisions that can end up costing more than expected.

By contrast, when you book with me, you have expert guidance and support at every step. As my business is part of Travel Counsellors, you get full financial protection and 24/7 support - so wherever you are in the world, help is just a call or WhatsApp away.

My promise is simple: genuine care, personal service, inspiration and support whenever you need it. At Travel Counsellors, we say ‘We go beyond' - and it’s no coincidence we've earned over 20,000 5-star Trustpilot reviews. It's the same level of dedication I bring to every client and every trip I plan.

I also understand that life doesn’t always fit neatly into office hours, so I’m happy to chat in the evenings, at weekends, or whenever suits you best.

As for my own journey - I’ve been fortunate to explore more than 60 countries (and counting) across six continents - from cycling the Sinai Desert to husky sledding in the Arctic, experiencing omotenashi in Japan, and learning to tango in the streets of Buenos Aires. Travel has shaped who I am, and every journey fuels my passion for helping others discover the world in their own way.

So whether you already know where you’d like to go, have the spark of an idea, or simply want someone to take care of the details, I’d love to help you create a journey that’s truly yours.

I look forward to chatting soon.

Warm regards,

What my customers say

10/10 ... Martin made life extremely easy and was great to deal with - very excited about our family holiday to Japan - thank you!

Emma P.

Kemerton

Having always planned family holidays complete with logistics and itineraries, to have someone to take this load was wonderful. Probably would not have bothered to go away at all otherwise. Martin was very helpful - going beyond our expectations, offering budget trimming alternatives, as well as fantastic travel options. We’d definitely use Martin again and wouldn’t think twice about recommending him.

10/10 ... Martin has been so helpful and found us a lovely little hotel in Turkey - an oasis. It was just perfect for us!

10/10 ... "Excellent and efficient service!"

David D

London

""10/10 ...Martin did a fantastic job planning our holiday! He listened to all our wants and needs, found exactly what we were looking for, and followed up every step of the way to make sure we were taken care of - including during the holiday, we had a little snafu with one of the transfers, and he was immediately reachable, responsive, and stayed on the case until we assured him that all was well. We can't wait to book our next trip with Martin and Travel Counsellors.""

Pamington

10/10 ... I’ve organised our group’s golf trips for over 20 years, but working with Martin was a breath of fresh air. He saved me hours, kept us on budget, and introduced us to an incredible all-inclusive resort in Turkey. Three great courses, including our first floodlit round. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend his excellent and friendly service.

Clive B

Tadworth

"10/10 … Martin is a total gem! I had no clue where to start with planning our anniversary trip, but within a couple of days he’d come up with three amazing ideas - all of which were totally our style. In the end, we had the most incredible week in Sicily, and I didn’t have to stress about a single thing. Can’t wait to see what he comes up with for the next one!

Rebecca M

Cheltenham

10/10 ... I can’t recommend Martin enough! I left it quite last minute to book a summer holiday, but after a quick chat with Martin, he found the most beautiful spot in Mykonos for me and my daughter to unwind. No stress, no endless scrolling - Martin just took care of everything and made it all so easy. I felt totally looked after from start to finish. I'd recommend him in a heartbeat!

Joanne E.

Tewkesbury

"10/10 ... Martin has been extremely helpful. He took time to listen to the type of holiday we wanted and located a wonderful hotel on a small island we had never heard of. I have spent time in the past trying to explain what we want and trailed through holiday brochures. Martin did all the work for us! Would happily recommend Martin and we're ready to book our next holiday with Travel Counsellors in the autumn!"
