It's Nice To Meet You

Hello, and Welcome to my webpage.

I am an independent Travel Counsellor based in Toddington, Bedfordshire. With over 30 years working in the Travel Industry, I think it is safe to say Travel is my passion, and not just my personal trips but also my career.
For the last 23 years I worked for a major Corporate Travel Company and during my time there I was extremely proud to be named Employee of the Year 2013 and receive a Pacesetter Award for Outstanding achievements.

I have travelled extensively and with my knowledge and personal experience I would love to be able to help create your dream holiday, whether it be a long-haul adventure, skiing, cruising, a fun city break, time out on a beach or a week in the English countryside.

My personal trips have taken me far and wide – Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Dubai & Bali. Many parts of the USA (from trekking in the Rockies to skydiving in Las Vegas and much more in between!) Canada, Cuba, Jamaica, Cyprus, Turkey, Greek Islands, many parts of Spain, The Algarve, and countless other European cities and beach destinations. A couple of cruises and a fair bit of skiing in Bulgaria, Austria & France as well, so I have been busy in my 35 years of travelling, have loved every minute and still it continues!

The flexibility of being a Travel Counsellor means that I am available to you whenever is convenient, be it during the day, evenings or weekends to speak on the phone or a face-to-face chat. We can discuss your travel plans so we get it just right – for you.

Thank you for reading my webpage and taking the time to find out about me. I look forward to hearing from you.

As Mark Twain quoted -
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sail.

I already have and my mother in law has booked her holiday through Ruth. Ruth was recommended to me from my uncle, and immediately she lived up to everything he said. She was so helpful and accommodating of all our needs, especially for us in such a once in a life time holiday (our honeymoon). Ruth responded to all emails, kept us informed and met all our needs. I will be using her services again - thanks for everything.

Ruth provided an excellent service when we booked our Asia trip last year and my next trip to Japan was particularly complicated, due to additional travel requirements to get to the Rugby World Cup but Ruth massively pulled it off and surpassed our expectations! Would we use Ruth again, for sure we would!
