Making your travel dreams a reality

Hello. I'm Ruth, an independent personal travel adviser based in Taunton, Somerset. I work with clients locally, across the UK and around the world. Having lived in the UAE, France, the USA, Australia and now the UK, and holidayed in almost 40 countries, I am passionate about travel and the incredible people, places and flavours waiting to be discovered. My role is to turn your travel dreams into a beautifully crafted, stress free reality.

Why work with me?

Save Time:
If the thought of spending hours scrolling through endless websites to find the right destination, right accommodation and the right price fills you with dread, you are not alone. That is exactly where I step in. I will take the time to understand what you truly want from your holiday, then research the best countries, regions and accommodation options to meet your needs. You can relax while I look after the logistics, planning and all the finer details, creating a seamless itinerary tailored just for you.

Be Inspired:
Do you tend to return to the same destinations simply because it feels easier? Have you dreamed of trying somewhere new but felt overwhelmed by the planning? Are you organising a special celebration, a multi generational trip or a getaway with friends and do not know where to begin? Let me inspire you with ideas that match your interests, passions and budget, while I take care of every detail. Whether you're dreaming of a five star beach escape, an active hiking adventure, a multi stop tour, a foodie or cultural journey, a golf break, a cruise or something completely different, I will design a trip that feels effortless and unforgettable, either overseas or here in the UK.

Be Cared For:
From the moment you get in touch, my priority is to create the holiday you have been imagining and to be available whenever you need me. As an independent travel professional, I have the freedom to match you with the ideal destination, accommodation, transfers and experiences for your style and budget. My working hours are flexible, and I am happy to chat in the evenings or at weekends. While you are away, I am available by message or phone call, giving you complete peace of mind. Think of me as your personal travel concierge.

Feel Secure:
In today’s unpredictable world, the reassurance of booking with a Travel Counsellor is invaluable. Every element of your holiday is fully protected through the Travel Counsellors Trust and ATOL (for flight inclusive trips). You can contact me directly at any time, and if it is the middle of the night in the UK, our 24/7 Duty Office is there for you. No long queues, no automated phone systems, just real support while you get on with enjoying your holiday.

Support Local:
I’m a self employed independent business owner operating under the Travel Counsellors franchise, backed by industry leading partnerships, technology and financial protection. By choosing to book with me, you are supporting a small local business, and I am genuinely grateful for your custom.

Ready to start planning?
Whether you have a clear idea in mind or just a feeling of the kind of escape you need, I would love to help. Get in touch and let's start planning your next unforgettable getaway.
