It's Nice To Meet You
Hello, I’m Rachael, your personal Travel Counsellor based in Chippenham, Wiltshire. I am here to help take the stress, hassle and time out of organising your holidays.
Travel has always been a big part of my life. I was born in Gibraltar and spent my childhood in Germany, before moving back to the UK. My passion for travel grew on the many family holidays I took as a child, and led to me undertaking my degree in Tourism Management at Bournemouth University. On graduating, I worked for an Adventure Travel company, where I was top seller for 2 consecutive years, before joining the public sector in customer service and project management roles.
My passion for travel however got the better of me, and I joined Travel Counsellors in 2019. My combined travel, project management and customer service skills ensure I am equipped to offer you the best experience possible when booking your dream holidays.
I have been fortunate enough to holiday in destinations across the world, including Australia, Singapore, Thailand, Egypt, Kenya, Brazil, Argentina, Florida, New York and extensive travel throughout Europe. These holidays have ranged from your classic bucket-and-spade package holidays, to independent travel and group tours. The highlight of these has to be my honeymoon which was spent in Thailand – 2 nights in the hustle and bustle of Bangkok, followed by 12 nights in the glorious sunshine on Koh Samui.
I believe in taking the time to get to know you and what you are looking to get out of your holiday, be it a city break, cruise, luxury beach escape, family holiday or flight only, and create something completely bespoke to you. I like to treat every enquiry as if I am looking for own holiday, providing the highest level of care and attention to detail.
I can offer you completely impartial, independent travel advice as Travel Counsellors are not tied to any suppliers. With our award-winning technology, I have access to a full range of products and services to make your holiday extra special, and with 100% financial protection, you can be rest assured that you are in the safest hands possible.
I work from home so can offer the flexibility of being available at a time that suits you, even if it is in the evenings or weekends.
So, whether you are looking for a bit of advice, inspiration, or you know exactly what it is you want, give me a call or drop me an email and we can start making your holiday dreams a reality.

Our post lockdown weekend in Devon
Our 2020 holiday plans had not gone according to plan due to the Coronavirus Pandemic. We were supposed to escape the UK and head off to Crete in May, but this was unfortunately cancelled. At the end of July 2020, I spent the weekend in Devon with the family and in-laws and it really was great to getaway from the everyday routine and explore a new area. Our base for the weekend was the amazing

A week in Zante
I have recently returned from a week’s holiday on the beautiful Greek island of Zante. Located just off the west coast of mainland Greece in the Ioanian group of islands, Zante can be reached within a three and a half hour flight from the UK. We arrived the second week of July, in the midst of a heatwave, with temperatures soaring at 35 degrees, thankfully the hotel we stayed at had a beachfront

Disneyland Paris Family Adventure
We recently took the kids on their first visit to Disneyland Paris. They're only 3 and 1, so I was a little concerned there wouldn’t be enough for them to do, how wrong was I? We were non-stop throughout our 3-day visit! Our adventure began with a mammoth train journey, taking us from our home in Wiltshire, to Marne-Le-Vallee, which is right outside the gate to the parks. Our 3-year-old has a fasc

When you plan a holiday with me, you’ll be given my personal mobile number from the very first call.
