It's Nice To Meet You
My name is Paul, and I am proud to be a personal Travel Counsellor based in Jesmond in Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
I have worked in travel since the mid-1990s and travelled extensively (at the last count I had travelled to 60+ countries globally). My experiences mean I am well placed to help plan your dream trips whatever they may be. My travels have seen me climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge, visit powder white beaches of Mauritius, The Maldives, the Caribbean and Zanzibar, safari in Kenya and South Africa, trek in rainforests in Thailand, kayak in Vietnam, iconic rail journeys in Canada, not to mention visits to many destinations in Europe, Africa and the USA.
As my client, you are truly at the centre of everything I do. I take time to understand your needs and find out what is most important to you. Unlike agents on the High Street, I am not incentivised to sell certain suppliers or products - my focus is on what is right for you. Being part of the Travel Counsellors family means I have access to countless options all of which can be booked safe in the knowledge that every penny you spend with me is 100% financially protected.
I will happily share my experience and knowledge to tailor-make your perfect trip. No scrolling through countless websites, and unlike booking through a traditional travel agency with limited options and set opening hours, I am available at times most convenient to you.
So if you are ready to plan a trip, send me an email, or call me from the comfort of your home to discuss your requirements, safe in the knowledge you will be receiving the very best, genuine and knowledgeable service.
I hope to hear from you soon!

Ras al Khaimah-The UAE done differently
It always gets to this time of year and I am craving some sunny weather...the winter is LONG in Newcastle. This time we chose a break to Ras al Khaimah which is just an hour outside of Dubai.

Vibrant Vietnam
A couple of years ago, I ticked off one of my bucket-list destinations with a trip travelling in Vietnam and to say it surpassed my expectations is an understatement. We flew from our local airport in Newcastle with Emirates Airline which not only was convenient with no long journey at the beginning and end of our holiday, the connection times in Dubai are so well organised to connect with flight

Amsterdam – A brilliant break any time of the year!
If you are looking for a weekend in a European city any time soon, Amsterdam should definitely be on your list. With KLM Royal Dutch Airlines flying to Amsterdam from most UK airports as well as it being a destination for many low cost carriers and British Airways, you can be there within an hour, so it is a great place to go from Friday evening to Sunday evening and not dip into that precious an

Morocco – City and Sea
Morocco, the north African jewel that borders both the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea. As a true melting pot that brings together Arabian, Berber and European influences of both France and Spain and Portugal, many travellers ask “where do I start?” For many Marrakesh springs to mind, but I would also like to share my experiences of trips to Casablanca too. One of the most important cities

Glorious Greece
Grecophile; One who is friendly to or is an admirer of Greece and the Greeks. That sums me up. Greece must be one of my all time favourite European destinations. Many of us are lured by the islands dotted throughout the Ionian and Aegean seas, but mainland Greece has so much to offer too. On our most recent holiday, we flew to Athens and stayed in the Kolonaki neighbourhood, said to be one of t
