Exceptional Holidays Begin with a Conversation
With over 20 years’ experience in travel, my destination knowledge has been shaped by working for customer‑focused companies such as Emirates Airline and an award‑winning tour operator. I have seen first‑hand how the right details can transform a holiday into something truly unforgettable.
From diving in Thailand and the Arabian Sea to family adventures in the Canary Islands and along America’s East Coast, travel has given me countless “wow” moments. I love helping my customers find those same moments, whether that is a first family holiday abroad or a once‑in‑a‑lifetime trip.
As your Personal Travel Consultant with Travel Counsellors, I will take the time to get to know your travel style, what matters most to you, and any little touches that will make your trip feel special. I will handle all the research and planning, so you can simply look forward to going away, knowing you have full financial protection, 24/7 support and the myTC app keeping all your holiday details in one place.
I look forward to our conversation.

Wild Tigers: A Dream Comes True in Ranthambore
Ever since reading Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book and Land of the Tiger by Valmik Thapar, seeing a wild tiger in its natural habitat had been a lifelong dream of mine. A holiday to India felt like the perfect opportunity to make that dream a reality. I had often been told that one of the best places to see the Bengal tiger is Ranthambore, a vast 500‑square‑mile national park in the Indian stat
