It's Nice To Meet You
Hi, I’m Nicola, but please call me Nic. I live in a small, community driven village between Bedford and Milton Keynes, and I’m thrilled to be building my own independent travel business.
Although my Travel Counsellors business is still in its infancy, I bring a lifelong passion for exploring the world and a wealth of first hand travel experience. From childhood holidays across Europe (Greece, Spain, France) to my first adventures in America as a teen, travel has always been a big part of my life.
These days, my husband and I are avid scuba divers with divemaster certifications, and many of our multi centre trips have been planned around our love of diving including Malta, Thailand, Bali, the Maldives, Vietnam, Australia and the Caribbean (including Cuba 6 times!). But it is never just about the diving. We love meeting local people, immersing ourselves in different cultures and tasting authentic food. There is so much out there to explore. Two of my favourite experiences so far have been diving with manta rays in the Maldives and a half day food and bike tour in Ho Chi Minh City: both unforgettable in very different ways.
Before starting my travel business, I worked in programme management, where I honed my skills in detailed planning and delivery, problem solving, building trust, staying customer focused and always adding value.
Bringing all of this together with my love and knowledge of travel, I create expert, bespoke & tailor made experiences for you, your family and your friends. Every trip is 100% financially protected, with someone on hand 24/7, so you can always book with confidence.
Rest assured, I will take care of every detail: from choosing the perfect boutique hotel or luxury resort and arranging flights, seats and transfers that suit your needs, to booking excursions, complex itinararies, restaurants and making sure dietary requirements are catered for. My aim is for you to simply sit back and relax, knowing everything is taken care of before, during and after your trip. So whether you are dreaming of an multi-centre adventure, a relaxing escape, a family holiday or a short city break, please get in touch and let us start turning your travel dreams into reality.
