Your Next Adventure Starts Here
Hello and a very warm welcome. I’m Rachel, your dedicated Travel Counsellor based in Redditch, helping busy professionals, couples and families plan holidays that feel effortless from start to finish.
With over 20 years’ experience organising complex travel and events, I understand that great travel is about far more than simply booking flights and hotels. It’s about creating experiences that suit your pace, priorities and style - while knowing every detail has been carefully taken care of.
Travel has always been a huge part of my life. I’ve lived abroad, travelled extensively across Europe, Asia, North Africa and North America, and come from a truly international family. Those experiences have given me a genuine appreciation for different cultures, meaningful experiences, and the little details that turn a good holiday into an unforgettable one.
As a parent myself, I also understand the realities of travelling as a family and the importance of getting every detail right - from flight timings and hotel locations to making the whole experience as smooth and stress-free as possible.
How I Can Help:
Personalised Planning
Every holiday I create is tailored around you your travel style, interests, pace and budget.
Expert Guidance
From destination ideas to practical travel advice, I’ll help you make confident, informed decisions every step of the way.
Family Travel Expertise
Honest, practical support from someone who understands both the joys and logistics of travelling with children.
Complete Peace of Mind
From the moment you enquire to the moment you return home, you’ll always have one dedicated point of contact - backed by the financial protection, global support and reassurance of Travel Counsellors.
Tailor-Made Experiences
Whether you’re dreaming of a luxury beach escape, a multi-centre adventure, a once-in-a-lifetime family trip or something completely unique, I’ll bring your ideas to life and handle every detail with care.
Whether you already know exactly where you want to go or simply need inspiration, I’d love to help you plan a holiday that feels completely right for you.
Let’s start planning your next adventure.

Canada is having a bit of a moment.
