It's Nice To Meet You
Hi, my name is Rachel, thank you for visiting my webpage - I look forward to helping you with your dream holiday.
As an experienced travel consultant, I know how important it is to provide a personalised service and ensure that I go the extra mile to not only meet your needs but go beyond all expectations!
I currently live in Dudley having moved to the area in December 2014. I am originally from Halesowen and previously lived in Netherton for 8 years. I am happily married and have three beautiful girls so family life is very active to say the least!
Before becoming a Travel Counsellor in 2015, I was a travel agent for a main high street travel agency for over 14 years. Starting as a modern apprentice at 16 years old, (I always knew I wanted to work in travel) I then became a travel consultant after completing NVQ levels 2 & 3 in travel services before eventually completing my management training. In the time I have been in the travel industry, I have also completed different training courses to ensure my knowledge remains in first class and, unsurprisingly, I have travelled all over the world either on my own, with work or with my family.
I regularly get asked: "What is your favourite destination?". There are so many and for so many different reasons. I love helping people plan their perfect wedding as I got married in Nissi Bay in Cyprus, so I do have a soft spot for this beautiful island and its luxurious hotels and amazing sights. My most adventurous trip though has to be when I planned an exciting and, at times, breath-taking world tour which covered parts of Asia, Australia, New Zealand and America. I have also been lucky enough to cruise down the Nile in Egypt, meet the big five on safari in Kenya, as well as take in popular destinations in Canada, the Caribbean, Dubai, Hong Kong, an throughout the Mediterranean. I have a great fondness for city breaks with my husband and girls having visited, amongst others, Dublin, Barcelona, Rome, Bruges, Lapland, Iceland as well as getting engaged under the Jet d’Eau in Geneva, one of my personal favourites Reykjavik!
I regularly do exclusive group led tours with myself as your guide, So far I have taken groups to Iceland several times, Finland and Italy with many more to come.
Being a Travel Counsellor allows me to make it more personal for my customers and being available at convenient times for them, offering them a service that not just anybody can. It makes booking a holiday an exciting job, not a time consuming inconvenience.
I would be delighted to hear from you and help to make your dreams become reality.

Lapland - A Winter Wonderland
Regardless of the strength of the winter we are experiencing at home, the cold weather will often ignite in many of us a desire to get away at the next available opportunity. However, although many of us will be dreaming of warm beaches, the romance of the even colder climes of Lapland – and of course a visit to meet the real Santa Claus himself – is becoming ever more popular. As the most ico

Small Ship Cruising
Small ship cruising can be an excellent option for both first time and more experienced cruisers. First timers may enjoy being able to find their way around a less intimidating smaller ship and enjoy the informality and the chance to see familiar faces every day. However, smaller ships can dock into smaller ports which are cannot always be offered on the itineraries of larger ships which can appea

One Of My Favourite Places - New York
New York, New York! As far as city breaks go, they don’t come any more iconic than The Big Apple. In fact, when walking around New York, it’s difficult not to feel as though you are taking part in your own movie blockbuster with all the neon signs, flashing lights and breath-taking skyscrapers. New York has to be one of my favourite holiday destinations - which is why I’ve returned time and ag

Once in a lifetime in Reykjavik - Iceland
After meeting the group at Iceland Air check-in desks we made our way through security by using the express lane which meant we got to avoid the queue, which was fantastic. As we boarded the flight, we greeted by Iceland air staff who were very friendly and accommodating. The flight was on time. We were in 32" seat pitch which I found very comfortable. All seats had seat back touchscreen TV’s
