It's Nice To Meet You

Being a Travel Counsellor isn’t just my job, it is my absolute passion! I have always been intrigued by exploring new destinations and sampling different cultures and have been fortunate enough to experience some amazing trips. I therefore appreciate first-hand how important it is to make memories that last a lifetime.

After obtaining my degree in International Tourism Management at Leeds, I took a gap year to embark on a world trip. Travelling through Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and America gave me a wealth of first-hand knowledge. Soon after my return, I joined an award-winning travel company in order to continue to indulge my love of travel. I was then fortunate enough to tick many more destinations off my bucket list, with highlights being visits to Iguassu Falls in Brazil, the Taj Mahal in India and viewing the Big 5 in South Africa. I spent 9 years working as a Tailor-made Travel Consultant and Supervisor. My expertise lies in First & Business travel although I’m more than happy to arrange any type of trip.

What I love most about working for Travel Counsellors is that I am able to take time to truly get to know you on a personal level and understand exactly what your requirements are. I can then tailor-make a unique and bespoke itinerary especially for you. Booking a holiday is a very personal (and I believe exciting) experience so it’s imperative to get it right! As an independent agent, I have the freedom and flexibility to find you the perfect holiday match as well as offer you impartial advice along the way. I have no ties or loyalties with specific suppliers – my loyalties lie firmly with you.

My Mission is to always exceed your expectations. I will offer you an unparalleled level of customer service which in turn will add enormous value to your whole holiday experience. Nothing is too much trouble.

I work from my home office in Beeston so have the time and flexibility to devote to you, whatever time of the day you need it. As a busy working mum of 3 young children myself, I fully understand that standard office hours are not always convenient!

So whether it’s a luxurious Safari in South Africa, a motorhome self-drive through New Zealand, a cruise around the Mediterranean, or even a simple (yet much needed) family beach holiday, please get in touch. I would love to help you plan your next adventure!

The service we received from Sam was brilliant. We had a budget , a few requirements but no fixed idea of where we wanted to go for our family holiday. Sam gave us a choice of 3 great hotels all in different destinations which met our needs. The booking process was so easy. I would definitely recommend Sam to my family and friends.

We contacted Sam with a rough idea of the type of holiday experience we were looking for. She took our thoughts and turned them into the most amazing adventure itinerary! She knew what was important to us as a family of 5 and this was reflected back in the holiday plans. It was all so easy, she worked with us to make a few minor adjustments, making our future family holiday truly bespoke. We would recommend her without hesitation. Thank you Sam

Sam has been absolutely brilliant throughout. Nothing has been too much trouble and she was more than happy, to speak with me on a Sunday evening regarding a holiday, I was interested in and I have now booked this with her.

Sam has been fantastic, she has been so patient with me (took a long time making a decision!) and nothing was too much trouble for her. She has spent time looking at different options for us and when I did make a decision, Sam made all the arrangements the same evening and booked us our holiday to celebrate my birthday next year. I would recommend Sam without hesitation.

Sam went above and beyond to book our next family holiday. She listened to what we were looking for, asked plenty of questions, and came back with some fabulous choices that were spot on!
