Natalie Wilshaw

I’m Natalie, a Personal Travel Consultant with Travel Counsellors, and travel has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. With Italian and Norwegian heritage and the privilege of travelling around the world since I was a baby, I’ve always had a natural curiosity about people, places and different ways of life. I’ve also lived abroad, which means I know what it feels like to become part of a different culture rather than simply visit it. Quite simply, travel is in my blood.

When I travel, I love getting under the skin of a destination. Food and culture are a big part of the experience for me, and I am drawn to art galleries, local experiences and the little things that give a place its character. My husband and I also have a slightly less conventional travel tradition: seeking out famous film locations. We are big James Bond fans, so if there is a 007 location somewhere on our route, chances are I will be finding it.
I bring that genuine love of travel together with a career built around people, communication and creating experiences. I have worked across sales with both business and consumer customers, managed brands and spent many years as a professional voiceover artist. These experiences have taught me how to listen properly, understand what people want, communicate clearly and build trust. I am naturally curious, organised and creative, with a keen eye for detail and a straightforward, honest approach.

So, why use a Personal Travel Consultant when you could book it all yourself online?
Because you shouldn’t have to spend hours searching, comparing hundreds of options and wondering whether you have made the right choice. I will get to know you, understand how you like to travel, what matters to you and what you want from your time away. Then I will do the research, narrow down the noise and create a tailor‑made holiday around you. You get my time, my attention and my advice, without having to do all the legwork yourself.

My service does not end when your holiday is booked. There is no call centre and no explaining your plans to a different person every time you need help. You will have a dedicated Travel Counsellor who knows you and your arrangements, with 24/7 support when you travel. Your money is financially protected through the Travel Counsellors Financial Trust, with ATOL protection where applicable, and flexible payment options can make planning your trip easier too.

Whether you are planning a luxury escape, a family adventure, a special celebration or a trip you have been dreaming about for years, I will be there to guide you through it, take care of the details and give you peace of mind from the moment we start planning until you arrive home.

For me, great travel planning should feel personal, thoughtful and exciting, without the stress. You get to enjoy the anticipation of your holiday without spending your evenings researching it.
Your holiday should feel like yours from the very beginning.
Tell me where you are dreaming of going, and let’s start creating it.
