It's Nice To Meet You

My name is Natalie and I am based in Glasgow city.

Travel is a huge part of my life; the excitement of exploring new places is something I truly embrace. That passion has allowed me to take the step to be a self-employed small business owner. As a travel counsellor I have the flexibility to work how I want to, making a difference and connect with people.

For you that means that I can have meetings that fit with your lifestyle. I can work with you to shape the holiday that you desire whether that be an all-inclusive family summer holiday to Turkey, adventure tours in the lush greenery of Costa Rica, bucket list trip to sun-soaked Hawaii or simply a peaceful weekend away here in the UK.
The world is so vast and beautiful; everyone should have the chance to see as much as they can and I help others turn their travel dreams into unforgettable experiences.

At Travel Counsellors we are covered by ATOL and you have additional financial protection through our Trust which will ensure that your money is safe and provide you with peace of mind. Once your deposit has been paid, you can make payments up to the final due date, in multiple instalments and at a time convenient to you. Additional support from the Duty Office means you have a contact available 24/7 to help with any issues that may occur whilst you are in destination.

One of my most cherished travel memories is planning a trip to Florence for my husband and I when we first started dating. The art, food, wine and stunning architecture of the city left a lasting impression on me and I realised then just how powerful travel can be in creating lifelong memories. Since then I have been lucky enough to explore many incredible destinations. I also love cruising, as it allows you to see multiple destinations in one journey making each day a new adventure.

Whatever the type of escape you are looking for, I’m here to make the planning process seamless and stress-free. With a keen eye for detail and caring approach, I take time to listen and create personalised trips that suit your unique needs. My goal is simple, to help you experience the world in the most exciting and meaningful way possible.

So if you’ve been inspired, let’s start planning your next journey!

10 Travel Must-Haves

26 February 2025

Here are the 10 must-haves that I think make the foundation for a good holiday: 1. Comfy Shoes Even if you are headed for a sun lounger where you plan to lay for 2 weeks whilst pina coladas are brought to you, you want comfy shoes to travel in.
