It's Nice To Meet You

Hello, I’m Michelle, your personal Travel Counsellor based in Wickford, Essex.

Travel has been my passion for as long as I can remember. Even at school I knew I wanted to work in the travel industry: the idea of discovering new destinations, cultures and experiences was simply irresistible. Over 20 years on, that same excitement is still there every time I help a client plan their next escape.

I am also a specialist in Disney holidays, with first‑hand experience across multiple magical trips. I have visited Disneyland Paris several times, enjoyed unforgettable stays at Walt Disney World in Orlando and have sailed on a Disney Cruise aboard the Disney Fantasy. This means I can offer practical, tried‑and‑tested advice on everything from choosing the right resort and dining options to park planning and those extra special touches that make a Disney holiday truly memorable.

Across my career I have been fortunate enough to visit some incredible destinations and stay in a variety of remarkable hotels. A real highlight was my time working with Sandals and Beaches, when I joined an educational trip to Jamaica. In just five days we visited all of their resorts: from sipping premium cocktails and relaxing by the pool to enjoying the luxury of my own butler for the day, it was a trip I will never forget.

I can help with every kind of trip: a quick city break, your family’s all‑important summer holiday, a magical Disney adventure, a romantic getaway or that once‑in‑a‑lifetime escape you have always dreamed of. I will take the time to get to know you, understand what matters most, and tailor every detail so your holiday feels completely personal.

All of your travel arrangements are fully financially protected, including ATOL protection and the peace of mind provided by the Travel Counsellors Trust.

If you are starting to think about your next trip, I would love to hear your ideas. Feel free to get in touch for friendly, impartial advice and a personalised quote. I look forward to helping you plan your perfect journey.

My Cruise with Fred. Olsen: A Family Adventure to the Norwegian Fjords

My Cruise with Fred. Olsen: A Family Adventure to the Norwegian Fjords On May 28th, my family and I boarded the MS Borealis, ready to set sail on an adventure through the breathtaking Norwegian Fjords. Fred. Olsen cruises aren’t typically marketed as family-friendly, so I wasn’t quite sure how the kids would take to life at sea — but I needn’t have worried. We all had an absolutely fantastic time

Disneyland Paris

Disneyland Paris

Our magical time in Disneyland Paris - what a holiday. I am a big fan of anything Disney so when my husband finally agreed to let me book Disneyland Paris I could not wait! We decided to give it as a Christmas present for our children so I created a Disney Gift box which had Disney ears, a voucher, water bottle, a count down plaque and an autograph book. When the kids opened their presents they

A firm favourite - Cyprus

A firm favourite - Cyprus

A firm favourite of mine and my husband's is Cyprus, for many reasons - the weather, the culture, the beaches and that is where we got married! We flew on 25th June 2017 with our then 11 month old daughter to prepare for our wedding on the 29th June 2017. We checked in our luggage, and headed straight to the gate with my wedding dress all packed in a box in my hand. The flight was exciting (luc

What my customers say

From the start, I found Michelle to be extremely helpful in helping me to plan our family holiday to Disney world. Michelle was very informative and went the extra mile in providing us with multiple quotes (I was quite indecisive) Even when our holiday was booked Michelle kept in touch and checked in with our holiday plans, offering advice. And finally I was so impressed that Michelle sent my children a special package in anticipation of our holiday, I could have asked of anything more from Michelle. I found her service to be both friendly and professional. Would 100% recommend.

Laura Couling

Romford

Michelle has been brilliant in helping organise a big trip for us next year. She has been quick to respond to queries and has kept us updated throughout the process. We would definitely recommend working with her.

Stacy Carruthers

Manchester

Great seemless and fantastic service thus far. Michelle has done all the searching on our behalf, making it a hassle and professional service. We are looking into booking another epic holiday in the next few years and we will certainly be going back.to Michelle for her advice and great guidance! Thanks again.

Richard Brown

Liverpool

Michelle was so helpful and made what seemed a possibly complicated trip very easy. Michelle was very organised, reliable and really easy to talk to or to get hold of if we had any questions. Would 100% be recommending to friends and family. Thank you so much

Roberto Salvati

Southampton

Michelle has been very helpful, engaging, available and present in all of our conversations and nothing is too much trouble. Fantastic service and I would definitely recommend her to our friends and family. She has made booking our holiday very easy and taken away all the stress of arranging a multi destination trip. Just fantastic

Michael Goacher

London

Michelle gave us the best honeymoon in Thailand we could have wanted - helpful suggestions and insights from the beginning, fantastic organisation and tips, little gifts to send us off with and to welcome us home - we honestly couldn't recommend her highly enough

Kate Neale

London

Michelle has been fantastic at arranging a large family holiday! She's been so flexible with changing different parts of the holiday due to there being 18 of us so lots of different work/school schedules but Michelle has made it work for us and we are so thankful! Without her we would probably never have managed to get anything booked

Vicky Schulz

Wickford

Michelle took the time to look and re look for holidays for us without question, my husband is rather fussy so he couldn’t settle on one hotel! She was very patient and nothing was too much trouble. Once we had agreed, she arranged everything and even emailed the hotel to ask some questions for us. Definitely worth booking through Michelle, we will be hassling her again for another holiday! Xx

T Hobbs

Great experience booking with travel counsellors! Takes away the stress of endless searching for the perfect holiday! Will definitely use again.

I find searching for holidays so stressful. Michelle took all of that away from me. Was super helpful, knowledgeable and easy to get on with.
