It's Nice To Meet You

Hello

My name is Patrick and I am a Travel Counsellor based in Stockwell, South London.

I joined Travel Counsellors in 2018 to pursue my main passion in life – travel. I enjoy all aspects of it, from the initial research and planning stages to the actual trip itself. I also enjoy discussing travel plans with friends and family and offering advice to those who may need a little bit of help making up their mind.

Coming to Travel Counsellors after 12 years with a major airline I have a great wealth of knowledge in air travel and sourcing the best flight options, whether you are looking for that great priced flight or a trip on a first-rate airline with exceptional standards of service.

I have been lucky enough to travel to some incredible destinations over the years, from the bright lights of New York City to the winding roads of the Big Sur or the beaches and jungles of Bali to New Zealand’s spectacular Southern Alps. Whenever I travel I spend a great deal of effort planning my trips and hunting down the best hotels and resorts which offer the highest levels of service and comfort at a reasonable price.

Your time is precious so whether you are looking for a five star beach retreat, a road trip across the States or a weekend exploring a European city I will take away the strain and sometimes perplexing complexities of creating your ideal getaway.

Also booking through a Travel Counsellor offers you the peace of mind of booking through someone who is financially protected by the Travel Counsellors Financial Trust and ATOL protected.

So, for all your travel needs just pick up the phone or send me a quick email and I will set to work creating you the ultimate travel experience.

Bye for now.

Francesca Johnson

I used Patrick to book a 6-week trip to 5 different countries, and he was amazing. Because of the pandemic he had to reorganise it twice, and was on hand to help while we were away with any flight changes. Because of this service, I now use him to book all travel for work (quite a few oversees photoshoots, so flights from multiple airports, hotels etc), and even our Financial Director now uses him for his personal travel! We're all really pleased with the level of service from Patrick - nothing is ever a problem, and always done so efficiently.
