Your Next Adventure Starts Here | Tailor-Made Holidays, Touring Adventures & Bespoke Travel Experiences

I’m so glad you’ve found your way here — perhaps as the first step towards your next adventure. Whether you’re dreaming of a luxury beach escape, a stylish city break, or an unforgettable touring holiday filled with culture, adventure and discovery, I’m here to help create a tailor-made travel experience that is completely personalised to you.
Travel has always been a huge passion of mine, particularly adventure travel and touring holidays that allow you to truly immerse yourself in a destination. I love creating bespoke journeys that are as exciting and unique as the people taking them.

As an independent travel consultant, I offer far more than simply booking a holiday. From the initial planning stages right through to your return home, I’m with you every step of the way, providing expert advice, personal recommendations and exceptional service throughout. With access to thousands of flights, hotels, experiences and trusted suppliers worldwide, I can create completely bespoke holidays and tailor-made travel experiences designed around your needs, preferences and budget.

Having travelled extensively myself, I understand how important the finer details are in turning a good holiday into an unforgettable one. These days, travelling with my children has also given me a real appreciation for smooth planning, flexibility and creating meaningful family travel experiences for even the youngest travellers.

I pride myself on my attention to detail and ability to think ahead, ensuring your holiday runs as seamlessly as possible from start to finish. Most importantly, every holiday booked through me is 100% financially protected through the Travel Counsellors Financial Trust and ATOL protection, giving you complete peace of mind.

From my base in Brackley, Northamptonshire, I work with clients throughout the UK designing bespoke holidays, luxury escapes and tailor-made travel experiences across the globe.
I’m always happy to chat by phone, email or Facebook, so please don’t hesitate to get in touch — I’d love to help plan your next tailor-made adventure.

Why Taking the Kids on an Adventure Holiday is the Best Gift You Can Give

Why Taking the Kids on an Adventure Holiday is the Best Gift You Can Give

When planning a family holiday, the temptation to book a relaxing beach resort is huge. Sand, sun, pools, and ice creams — it sounds perfect, right? But if you always stick to the tried-and-tested beach holidays, you might be missing out on something truly special. Adventure travel with kids opens doors to education, growth, and deeper family memories that last a lifetime. Here’s why shaking up yo

Rome with the Kids

Rome with the Kids

Rome is the city breaks of all city breaks, so much history in one place! This is the first place I visited with my husband when we were dating many moons ago and since then, Italy has been one of our favourite countries to visit. This time though, we took the kids and went as an extended family with my parents and siblings. For one week, at the end of August we soaked up not just the sun but a

Moroccan Feast!

Moroccan Feast!

Morocco is known for many things- it is a truly beautiful country full of colour, style, the friendliest people and delicious food! I love the food so much, I am dedicating this whole blog to it! The Moroccan culture and its food is fascinating with a mixture of Imazighen, Arab, Spanish, Jewish and French influences (and so much more!). When you think about the flavours and smells or Morocco y

I love cruising!

I love cruising!

It is no surprise that I love a cruise…I say that but it was a surprise to me initially as I never saw myself as a ‘cruiser’! I had some pre-conceived ideas about it being something you did after you retired…it was boring…you had no freedom…it was super expensive. It is safe to say that not only have I been proven wrong on all of these points but I have found cruising offers so much more! It’s

Morocco with Intrepid

Morocco with Intrepid

Morocco, a country full of vibrant colours, friendly people, magical sights and delicious food. It is close enough on a flight to be convenient (around 3 hours), but when you step off the plane you feel like you are a million miles from home. For this trip I travelled with Intrepid Travel, a fantastic purpose-led adventure travel company with a BIG heart. They pride themselves on giving back to t

It's time to make a Bucket List!

It's time to make a Bucket List!

Compiling a wish list of your must-see destinations is harder than you might think. It is easy to get over-excited (if there really is such a thing when it comes to travel), and you end up writing every country in the world down and in the end your ‘to-see’ list is as long as your arm and feels a bit unfathomable… which one comes first?.. where do I start?... which is the easiest? I personally

Cruising onboard Norwegian Epic

Cruising onboard Norwegian Epic

My recent experiences with Norwegian Cruise Line were truly Epic by name and Epic by nature! It was not only the first time I have cruised with NCL but it marked the first time I have left the country since the pandemic. Getting on the plane was an emotional occasion and not just for me but for everyone- there was a real buzz and excitement about going away and that feeling of heat when we reach

New York City- Winter vs Summer

New York City- Winter vs Summer

New York is a popular choice for a city break and one which I have been to several times. It really is a city that never sleeps and one where the energy is like nowhere I have been to before! I have also had the pleasure of enjoying the Big Apple in both Summer and Winter, both seasons have their attractions but here are some of my favourites: Winter - Festive lights and the shop windows are ma

How has covid changed my business?

How has covid changed my business?

It probably goes without saying that covid has drastically impacted my business and the way I work. At the beginning of 2020 I was executing my plans and succeeding in having my best year yet as a Travel Counsellor and then over the course of a few weeks, the enormity of coronavirus really started to dawn on me and everyone within the travel industry. The initial months of lockdown felt nothing

The British Pullman

It isn’t often that Belmond invite you onboard in a professional capacity to experience the fantastic British Pullman whilst she traverses the Kent countryside on her ‘Golden Age of Travel’ trip and of course I jumped at the chance and loved every minute!

Where it all started!

Where it all started!

Costa Rica is where it all started for me- my travel obsession. My love for exploring and need to see as much of the world as I can! I was a young 17 year old given an opportunity at school with a charity to travel to Costa Rica for 4 weeks of adventure, community work and hard slogs. I certainly came back a different person to the one who left Brackley… and with a new love for coffee! We star

Whistle stop guide to Cape Town

Whistle stop guide to Cape Town

I find describing South Africa as a holiday destination hard, not because it is dull or boring, oh no… but because it is everything. Quite honestly there is nothing this country cannot offer you as a holiday destination (well maybe apart from skiing?). If you love the beach- go to South Africa If you love nature- go to South Africa If you love food and drink- go to South Africa If you love trav

Family Cruise Onboard MSC Bellissima

Family Cruise Onboard MSC Bellissima

Before I started my business as a Travel Counsellor, the thought of a cruise hadn’t even hit my consciousness. My adventures had always been overland and I had made some (incorrect) assumptions and deemed a cruise to not be ‘my cup of tea’. That was until a colleague said to me ‘you wait, once you step on a ship you will get it’… and boy was that true! The first ship I visited was on the launch

‘It is not the destination but the journey that counts’ and boy is this is true on a Transatlantic crossing on board the Cunard Queen Mary 2! As you would expect Cunard are a well-oiled machine with the embarkation process being quick and painless. Before we had a chance to think about it, we were being welcomed on board and we started exploring the ship that would carry us home. First stop was

24 hours in San Francisco!

Time was certainly of the essence on my recent jaunt to San Francisco! Why so short, I hear you ask? One of my brothers works as cabin crew and I tagged along with him so whilst he worked the 10 hours and 25-minute flight, I worked my way through 3 movies and had a nap (for anyone with a hectic lifestyle, I am sure you can appreciate what a luxury this was). I am a self-confessed ‘planner’ so

5 tips for travelling with kids

I love travel! I love adventure! I love exploring new places off the beaten track! I love eating new food! I love it all! I also love travelling with my kids (and husband, mustn't forget him... he is very good at pushing the suitcase trolley)! I had a very lucky childhood with regular trips over to Cairo to stay with my Grandparents who lived there. I never fully appreciated the experiences

What my customers say

Thankyou Natalie, for linking up my forthcoming holiday arrangements to Rethymno to seamlessly match those that my friends had already made, it means a lot to me to know that I’ll be with them all the way from the start including the airport lounge, the flights and the transfers, it’s been a pleasure having you managing things, and ‘gluing’ things together for me :) I’m now looking forward to my first holiday abroad for quite a number of years.

Natalie Gosher was absolutely BRILLIANT! She took all the stress out of me finding the perfect holiday and went over and above to ensure this was booked swiftly and efficiently. Natalie was always on hand to answer my queries and the after booking service is outstanding! I would not hesitate to recommend Travel Counsellors, and particularly Natalie - thank you!

H Rose

Bicester

We like the fact that Natalie is local and can be contacted easily if we have any concerns or questions. We would rather be in this position than deal with anyone online or have to travel miles to a travel agent branch.

A England

Brackley

Personal service, expert knowledge, tailor-made holidays, support when you need it most, and someone who genuinely cares about making your trip perfect from start to finish. From finding the best options and alternative suggestions to being there if plans suddenly change, having a Travel Counsellor takes the stress out of travelling and makes the whole experience so much more personal. Would always recommend using Natalie and have to a few people already.” There’s nothing better than knowing your holiday is in safe hands.
