Hello, my name is Michelle Leonard as you can see I really do love travel. I have travelled extensively and can confidently pass on my knowledge to help fulfil your holiday dreams. In 2022 I travelled to Majorca , Morocco , Cyprus to participate in a beautiful Wedding, Malaga City , Chania ( Crete ) Canada visiting Toronto Niagara Falls , Quebec , Montreal and Ottawa and was also very lucky to sail on Regent Seven Seas Voyager with a stay in Rome - what a great year catching up on amended and cancelled trips from the last few years.
My favourite place has to be Mauritius - my idea of heaven. Beautiful hotels, beaches, service and standards all in all perfect and a very special destination. I have also been on many cruises both European and in the Caribbean, through the Panama Canal which was a truly amazing experience which I will remember forever. Antigua and Grenada came very close to Mauritius both amazing special destinations. I also love Florida I have been around 15 times so know it very well, I could talk to you about Florida for hours!
I became a Personal Travel Counsellor because quite simply I take pride in offering the highest level of personalised customer service to my many clients. I love my job which I think is what has helped me build such a successful business as a Personal Travel Counsellor over the last 20 years. I am proud to be a Travel Counsellor, we offer a great service and huge commitment to our customers and now as a company have a 24 hour duty office so there is always someone there for you as well as myself.
I have worked in the travel industry for 39 years now, originally working for two multiples on the high street where I progressed to management levels prior to starting a family. I chose to join Travel Counsellors 20 years ago because they care about their customers, working with state of the art technology and offer fantastic head office support to assist me in my role. I have a huge client base now and most of my customers have become personal friends. They help me by passing my details to their colleagues, friends and family which now means I am busy most of the year and as my children are now 28 and 27 years old and need less attention I have more time though our Grandchildren aged 11 , 4 and 1 do keep me busy. I do love the fact that I can work much more flexible hours to suit my customers' needs as they can contact me at any time of the day or night whichever suits them best whether that be a weekend or an evening.
I aim to give the highest possible customer service and to ensure that every travel arrangement meets and better still, exceeds your expectations. Allow me to turn your dream holiday into reality. I really will look after you. The industry changes constantly but a key aspect now in travel is that you are looked after if you need us whilst overseas ....I feel this has brought many clients back to me over the years as there is nothing worse than something going wrong whilst you are away and you have no one to discuss it with, all my clients have my personal mobile number as I do theirs to keep an eye on them whilst they are away.
I very much look forward to speaking to you , please feel free to give me a call.

Orlando really is the best place ever .....
I have visited Orlando over 10 times the last being six years ago so to go back this year to celebrate a couple of special birthdays I saw quite some changes from previous visits but still as fantastic as ever. I would go every year if the budget would allow! There really is no need in my opinion now to have car hire unless you choose to stay in a villa. I much prefer personally to stay on Inter

5 * beautiful Epic Sana Algarve
In June this year I visited a new hotel in Portugal, Epic Sana opened March 2013 and is stunning, fresh and luxurious. The hotel blew me away from entering the reception. It is funky and modern, very spacious and has everything expected from a 5 star hotel within stunning well kept gardens. Beautiful spa, several pools - one being adult only - all with comfortable sunbeds and seating provided. The

Azamara Cruise onboard the amazing Quest
What a fantastic experience. Azamara offers small and intimate cruising which, in my opinion is very special. As Quest only holds 694 passengers the atmosphere is small and friendly but with an air of elegance and also with the added benefit that they can reach small ports which the larger ships cannot. Hence there are some very interesting itineraries and also some overnight stays in port which
