It's Nice To Meet You
Hello and a very warm welcome. I’m Rachel, your dedicated Travel Counsellor in Redditch, here to help you create holidays that are truly meaningful and completely tailored to you.
With over 20 years of expertise organising complex travel and events for busy professionals and a lifetime spent planning adventures for my own family, I know how to make every trip seamless and memorable. I have two adventurous daughters (aged 10 and 14), a Dutch partner, and have lived in both the Netherlands and, for a time, Greece. My global family stretches from a sister in Lisbon to another who’s sailing the world, so exploring new cultures and feeling at home anywhere comes naturally to me.
Travel, to me, is about making those connections: exploring new cultures, savouring special moments, and bringing back memories to cherish. Some of my favourite journeys have taken me to Canada, Hong Kong, Thailand, America, Italy, Portugal, Egypt, and Morocco, which are experiences I draw on to inspire the trips I design for you.
What I Offer:
Thoughtful, personalised service:
Every holiday should reflect your wishes, pace, and style. I take time to listen, so I can craft the perfect itinerary for you.
Family-friendly expertise:
I understand the logistics, challenges, and joys of travelling as a family, and deliver practical, honest advice to make your experience smooth.
One trusted point of contact:
From our initial conversation right through to your safe return, I’ll be here for you, backed by the financial protection and assurance of Travel Counsellors.
Creative ideas and real-world inspiration:
Whether you dream of a relaxing beach break, a multi-stop adventure, or immersive cultural experience, I’ll bring your ideas to life and handle every detail.
I would love to help you plan a holiday that’s effortless, exciting, and truly unforgettable. Whether you’re already dreaming or just want to chat through the possibilities, I’m here whenever you need me.
Let’s start your next adventure together.
