It's Nice To Meet You

Hi, I’m Soozie, your personal TC based in Bookham, where I live with my husband, son and our 2 dogs.

Travel has been part of my life since I was young, from UK & European family holidays to more exotic adventures in the Far East and Indian Ocean. I even said “I do” in Las Vegas, followed by an unforgettable visit to the Grand Canyon, because I have always believed that travel should be personal, memorable and a little bit different.
Over the last 25+ yrs in the industry, I have turned that passion into a career, helping clients create trips that feel truly special, from simple beach breaks to once‑in‑a‑lifetime journeys.

My favourite destinations are hard to choose, as every trip is unique, but a few stand out.
The Maldives has a big piece of my heart. The white sands, crystal‑clear water and incredible marine life are simply breath-taking. Watching manta rays glide through the water in the evening, spotting baby reef sharks at the water’s edge and snorkelling with colourful fish are memories I will never forget. Even the seaplane transfer feels like the start of the adventure as you fly over tiny islands and land beside the pristine beaches.

Mauritius is another firm favourite and one of my top‑selling destinations. Here, you have stunning beaches plus the freedom to explore safely, perhaps by hiring a car and discovering waterfalls, viewpoints and local markets. It is fantastic for weddings, honeymoons and special celebrations - which I can help with.

I also have a real love for the Far East. Thailand, with its delicious food, friendly people and mix of culture & beach, is always popular. I work a lot with touring and adventure holidays across Asia, India & Japan, as well as South America and bucket‑list destinations such as Antarctica.

Most recently I travelled on an escorted tour of Saudi Arabia and a tour in Jordan, which were both incredible. From ancient sites and dramatic desert landscapes to warm local hospitality and lesser‑known cultural experiences, these trips have really deepened my knowledge of the Middle East. I now love helping clients who are curious about these emerging and more adventurous destinations.

As a Travel Counsellor, I am part of an award‑winning company with a unique financial trust, which means everything I book is 100% financially protected. This peace of mind is one of the key reasons I chose to join Travel Counsellors. I have access to a huge range of trusted suppliers and can put together almost any kind of trip: tailor‑made itineraries, escorted tours, adventure and small‑group journeys, Indian Ocean and beach escapes, USA and city breaks, Alaska and cruise, Lapland and winter wonderland breaks, ski holidays and sports travel including cycling and golf.

I am also proud to have been selected as a Tour Ambassador within Travel Counsellors, reflecting my particular expertise in touring, adventure and bucket‑list travel. I regularly train with our suppliers, keeping up to date with new tours, routes and best sellers, so I can match you with the right style and pace of trip, whether you are travelling solo, as a couple, with friends or as a family.

When you book through me, you support a local small business and gain your own dedicated travel expert. I save you time by doing the research, compare the options for you and design holidays that are tailored to your tastes. Many of the complex tours and combinations I create are not easily found online. I am at the end of the phone, WhatsApp or email, and for local clients I will often hand‑deliver tickets and documents where I can. I can also arrange appointments outside normal office hours to suit your schedule.

I genuinely care about getting it right and I love the challenge of finding the perfect holiday, whether that is a relaxing beach, a cultural tour, an epic road trip or a once‑in‑a‑lifetime expedition.
If you are starting to dream about your next escape or that big bucket‑list adventure, I would love to help bring it to life.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars 22 Dec 2023 Christmas in Zanzibar and Tanzania I knew I wanted to take my family on a special holiday and what I wanted to do but that was as far as I had got! Then I contacted Soozie Wilson from travel counsellors and before I knew it we had the trip of a lifetime planned. Soozie was incredibly knowledgeable, helpful and gave me options that I never would of thought of, she arranged absolutely everything to our liking. However due to an unforseen medical emergency we had to cancel our trip at very short notice, this is when Soozie really came into her own. She showed great empathy and understanding at a very difficult time for us,. She took away all the stress of cancelling trips, hotels and flights etc and we cannot thank her enough!! I cannot recommend her and the company enough, talk about above and beyond!

Sent by Rebecca Wright

We will continue to use Soozie and have recommended her to friends already who have booked through her. Very pleased with Soozie thank you.

Soozie is absolutely amazing. We didn’t exactly have the biggest budget but she worked so hard for us. Even when we decided to change the destination at the last minute Soozie continued to go to great lengths to ensure our holiday was the best we could get and suited us and our specific needs. We’ve booked with her before and even then she didn’t stop once we had booked. She continued to keep in contact to ensure we would have the best family holiday. Thanks Soozie.

If I could score Soozie higher than 10 then I definitely would. Soozie is super quick to respond to any enquiry, and helped create a tailor made two destination holiday at a really great costs.

I can honestly say that Soozie is the best travel agent I have ever dealt with. She was so friendly and helpful, nothing was too big or too small. She went above and beyond, she really did. Offering alternatives options to ones I had put forward, when either the price wasn't right, location not quite right, flight times not quite right. Travelling as a large family group with ages ranging from 4 to a disabled 72 year old, we had a wide range of needs to ensure the holiday was the perfect fit for all of us. Soozie took the stress away from me and made the holiday search and booking fun and easy. I will be using Soozie for all my future travel needs, as will the other adult members of our party. I have already recommended Soozie to friends so they too can get the 'Soozie' experience. A Class service from start to finish. Only wish I had found her earlier!

I couldn’t thank Soozie enough for all her help booking my trip to the Maldives. We originally had a 4 month backpacking itinerary planned for various countries across the world, however we’ve put that on hold for now due to covid, but I will 100% be booking that with Soozie when the rest of the world opens up! No challenge seems too hard, every question I’ve had has been answered quickly and Soozie has gone above and beyond to help me so I know everything before and during my trip will run smoothly. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
