It's Nice To Meet You
Hello and welcome to my webpage. My name is Paul and I’m a Travel Counsellor based in Edinburgh. I have lived in Edinburgh for more than eight years and couldn’t live anywhere else. The diversity of people, the fantastic architecture, museums and galleries and the brilliant festival season makes it the ideal place for me.
Before joining Travel Counsellors in 2008, I worked for over 16 years in other travel agencies, gaining a wealth of experience along the way in business travel side of the market. I have great geographical knowledge and a passion for service and customer satisfaction that will ensure your travel arrangements are dealt with in an efficient, competent and very friendly manner, all from the comfort of your own home or office.
2009 was a great year for me. I attained the Travel Counsellors accolade of Gold Travel Counsellor and I had a 100% record in our customer service question "How likely is it that you would recommend your Travel Counsellor?"
In November 2008, I was very proud to be one of four people nominated for Travel Counsellors’ “Best Newcomer 2008” award at our annual conference in Marbella. This was a great achievement for me and testament to my hard work and the great support received from Travel Counsellors.
My favourite destination to travel to is Mallorca. I’ve been there more than 30 times. It has such variety in such a small area - with family friendly beaches, city life, mountain scenery and beautiful countryside. Having said that, I have also travelled extensively elsewhere in Europe as well as the Middle East & North America. Just some of the many places I have visited include Iceland, Sweden, Estonia, Portugal, Slovenia, Italy, Croatia, Greece, Malta, France, Finland, Turkey, Syria, Canada, USA and Mexico.
I love being a Travel Counsellor as I can use my extensive knowledge to tailor-make your travel arrangements around your own needs making sure that your business trip is enjoyable and stress free.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Syria; spectacular from start to finish
I was recently very lucky to be offered a place on a travel agency educational trip to Syria with tour operator Cox & Kings. Of course, I jumped at the chance, having wanted to visit Syria for a long time and to find out more about the country and the tour operator too. Our journey began with a flight out to Damascus where we stayed for the first two nights, visiting the atmospheric Damascus So

Istanbul, Turkey
I’ve just returned from a fantastic trip to the fabulous city of Istanbul and I must admit, I was totally blown away by the place. I’d wanted to visit the city for years but just hadn’t got round to it, however earlier in the year a friend of mine who is a frequent visitor there asked if I’d like to go for a long weekend at the end of April and I jumped at the chance especially as I’d be going wi

Palma de Mallorca
Palma de Mallorca feels like a second home to me. This has been my 17th visit to the island of Mallorca and my 10th visit to Palma, the islands' capital city. You may wonder why I've been so often and why I return year after year, so in this short report I'll aim to explain. This latest trip to Palma came about just by chance really - I'd been looking at a short northern European type city br

La Rochelle, Charente-Maritime, France.
Having recently returned from a week long break to La Rochelle on France's Atlantic coast, I thought I'd share with you my experiences there and tell you what a fantastic time I had in this lovely port. Never having been to this part of France before, I was excited to go to a more "regional" area, which is still relatively unknown to the mass tourist market. My previous trips to France had bee
