Paul Ramsay

Hi, I’m Paul, your local independent Travel Counsellor based in Cowbridge, Wales, and I can’t wait to help plan your next unforgettable adventure.

Travel is my passion and my goal is simple: to take the stress out of planning, and create holidays that feel truly personal to you. Together, we’ll explore more of this amazing world in a way that suits your style, budget and dreams.

What is a Travel Counsellor?
Think of me as your own personal travel designer.

It all starts with a conversation: face to face, online or over the phone, whichever you prefer. You share your ideas, wish‑list and must‑haves, and I’ll turn them into a carefully crafted trip, with a personalised, no‑obligation quote.

Instead of spending hours scrolling the internet or queueing in a High Street agency, you have one dedicated expert who does all the hard work for you. I am available outside of normal office hours and can come to your home or workplace at a time that suits you.

Your booking is 100% financially protected through the Travel Counsellors Financial Trust and ATOL, giving you complete peace of mind from the moment you book until you arrive safely back home. Behind me is our award‑winning technology and a global network of expertise, which allows me to be completely independent and focus on finding the right holiday for you at a very competitive price.

My North America expertise

One of my specialist areas is travel across North America. I have personally visited more than 27 US states, so when we talk about the best places to go, the most scenic routes to take, or how long you really need in each stop, it comes from first‑hand experience rather than a brochure.

Highlights of my own travels include exploring California, from its legendary coastal drives to theme park thrills, and magical stays at both Disneyland California and Walt Disney World in Florida. I have also travelled the iconic Route 66 in an RV, which means I can share practical tips on driving, stopping points, campgrounds and those quirky roadside attractions that make a road trip unforgettable.

Whether your dream is a family Disney holiday, a California road trip, or an epic self‑drive adventure across multiple states, I can help you design an itinerary that makes the most of your time and budget.

How much will it cost?
Nothing extra at all.

You benefit from my personal service, expertise and support without paying any additional fees. You simply secure your booking with an initial deposit, then:

You log into your myTC app and make payments whenever it suits you.
There are no fixed automated withdrawals.
You can pay as much or as little as you like, as long as the full balance is cleared by the final due date (typically around 8 weeks before departure).
There are no hidden charges for spreading the cost in this way.
With you every step of the way
I will be there from our very first chat, through planning and booking, right up to the moment you return home. If you need assistance while you are away, I am only ever a phone call or message away, 24/7 for emergencies, supported by our dedicated Head Office team.

My background is in solving problems, building relationships and helping people navigate complex situations. I now bring those skills into travel, with a focus on:

Tailor‑made worldwide itineraries
Flight and routing expertise
Clear, honest communication
Calm, proactive support when things don’t go to plan
I am proud to be part of Travel Counsellors and our 5‑star Trustpilot rating, which reflects the care and attention we give to every single customer.
