It's Nice To Meet You

Hello, I'm Matt, your dedicated personal Travel Counsellor based in Sawston, just outside the picturesque city of Cambridge. With a passion for exploration and a wealth of travel experience, I'm here to turn your wanderlust dreams into unforgettable journeys.

Why did I want to become a Travel Counsellor? Quite simply - I live and breathe travel. Exploring different parts of the world has given me the most special memories. Now, my aspiration is to craft incredible trips for my clients, allowing them to cherish lifelong memories.

Some of my travels include exploring the breathtaking landscapes of Australia, immersing myself in the vibrant streets of Hong Kong and Singapore, experiencing the cultural wonders of Thailand, indulging in the luxury and culture of Dubai, meandering through charming European cities, discovering diverse regions of North America, and unwinding on the idyllic beaches of the Caribbean. With each new destination, I've gained invaluable insights and firsthand experiences that now allow me to create tailor-made journeys just for you, no matter where you dream of exploring.

Why choose me? Because I'm here to curate incredible trips, tailored to your unique needs and desires. I understand that no two holidays are the same, and that's why I'm committed to creating experiences that are as individual as you are. Whether it's a luxury escape, an adventure on a budget, a romantic honeymoon, or a family reunion, I'm dedicated to crafting your holiday to any budget and any occasion. From arranging your accommodation and travel to organising unique excursions from trusted suppliers, I ensure you get the most from your trip. Whether it's exploring hidden gems in your destination, embarking on thrilling adventures, or indulging in cultural experiences, I source excursions that add depth and excitement to your journey. And remember, I offer 24/7 support, ensuring you're never on your own, no matter where you are in the world. Your peace of mind is essential, which is why all our trips are ATOL protected and covered by the Travel Counsellors Trust, guaranteeing your financial security and the smoothest travel experience possible. Your dream holiday is my mission, and I'm here to make it a reality.

During my travels, I've had the privilege of experiencing a wide spectrum of travel styles. From indulging in the opulence of luxury hotels, where every detail is carefully curated to ensure the utmost comfort and convenience, to exploring the nuances of different travel classes, ranging from the elegance of first-class air travel to the cozy charm of train journeys in Europe. I've even embarked on unique adventures like Virgin Voyages cruises, where the focus is on fun, relaxation, and exploring uncharted waters. And for those who seek the thrill of the mountains, I've embraced the exhilaration of skiing in some of the world's most picturesque winter wonderlands. Whatever your travel preferences, I'm here to help you create unforgettable experiences tailored to your desires.

Some of my favourite holidays include experiencing the enchantment of Christmas in New York City, discovering the pristine beauty of Australia's Daintree Rainforest, and savouring the breathtaking sunsets in Croatia. My passion for Virgin Voyages cruises runs deep, as I truly admire their innovative approach to sailing the high seas!

So please get in touch and let me help you plan your next getaway. I'll be there every step of the way to ensure your journey is seamless and memorable, making it an extraordinary travel experience. Your dream holiday is just a conversation away, and I'm here to turn it into a reality.
