It's Nice To Meet You
I'm Sarah, your personal Travel Counsellor based in beautiful North Yorkshire, and I’ve had a huge passion for travel for as long as I can remember.
I love everything about travel, from experiencing new cultures and food, to soaking up the sunshine on a luxury lounger. I’m lucky to have travelled extensively, both for business and pleasure, and I’m always happy to share top tips and recommendations.
Travel Counsellors gives me the flexibility to tailor-make trips of all shapes, sizes and budgets and I love working with clients to make their holiday dreams come true. Whether it’s a luxury honeymoon in the sun, a winter adventure of a lifetime, or a well deserved family break, I will treat your holiday with the same care and attention as my own.
Our lives are becoming increasingly busy, so why not let me take all the stress and chore away from searching for a holiday? As I run my business from home, I’m available at times which suit you, including weekends and evenings.
If you’d like to chat through your next grand adventure, or want some inspiration and independent advice, get in touch, I’d love to hear from you.

We’ve booked a few trips with Sarah now & each one just gets better & better. Sarah is full of knowledge & recommendations which is really helpful when looking at places you’ve never been to before. Not only is Sarah a great help with making a booking, but she’s only ever an email away when in resort too. Sarah clearly cares that her clients are having a great experience & will do whatever she can to make sure your trip is the best you can possibly have.

Sarah listens to all our requirements and really does come back with some amazing tailor made options for us. She’s so patient when we change our mind or have another flash of inspiration. And actually we’ve ended up booking somewhere we hadn’t even thought about because she thought it would suit us better (and it does!)

Sarah is amazing. She always answers very quickly and has found us the most amazing options every time we have enquired with her. Her natural friendly nature and genuine excitement for her clients holidays really add to the whole experience. Also, I was ill on one holiday booked through Sarah and she was just brilliant. She contacted to hotel and arranged late check out which was a great help.

Lisbon

I’ve just returned from a fantastic hen weekend in Lisbon, Portugal. I adore Lisbon for its beautiful architecture, friendly locals and fantastic food. I flew in late on Friday night and joined a group of 16 girls who had arrived that day. I had a relatively relaxed first night, but many of the girls made the most of the fantastic Lisbon nightlife, dancing away into the early hours. The next da

Hong Kong is a place that I’ve wanted to visit my whole life. I grew up listening to endless stories from my dad, who lived there during his time in the Royal Navy in the 70’s. Dad’s stories were all about the street food for a few pennies, amazing tailoring, the traditional fish markets and even a few about the tattoo culture in the Navy and how Hong Kong was THE place to get one. So I was lookin
