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.

What my customers say

Sarah was extremely helpful when planning my holiday to the Maldives I couldn’t have wished for a better service and wouldn’t hesitate to contact her regarding further holidays in the future.

Lisa Newsam

Liverpool

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.
