It's Nice To Meet You

Hi I’m Mel and I am based in Crawley,West Sussex where I live with my husband and 5 children. Living so close to Gatwick certainly has it’s benefits and when travelling with children a short ride to the airport is always a blessing!

I was a late starter to travel, taking my first holiday abroad when I was 21, but it wasn’t until several years later when I started working for a well established luxury holiday company that I realised travel was my thing! Fast forward 11 years and and I now have a wealth of experience and many amazing trips to draw from. I have been lucky enough to visit some fantastic destinations including South Africa, Thailand, Dubai, Mauritius, several of the Caribbean Islands, California and almost all of Florida (which my children now refer to as ‘our other home!’) to name just a few. Luxury long haul destinations is where I have specialised for the majority of my career, however for the last couple of years I have also developed my knowledge of European destinations so whatever your need or desire I am available to create the perfect holiday for you.

What I love about being a Travel Counsellor is the personal service that it enables me to provide to you as my client. Every holiday I create is completely tailored to your requirements and you are at the heart of what I do. Based from my home office I have flexibility over when I work meaning I can be there at a time to suit you. I am available to chat on the phone or by email or I can visit you personally. Whatever your travel desires are I’m here to make sure your holiday is the best it can be and with award winning technology, access to hundreds of suppliers and 100% financial protection on every holiday I book what’s to think about? Let me do the hard work for you!

I look forward to hearing from you.
