It's Nice To Meet You

I am Steve, and I am based in Sittingbourne in Kent.

Do you need expert travel planning & booking help? I'm Steve Gostling, an experienced Travel Agent. I help individuals and companies throughout Europe with their travel arrangements. I've enjoyed working in the travel industry for over 40 years. I founded my own company in 2019 because I wanted to offer a highly personal and responsive travel service. If you need professional travel expertise, advice or support please get in touch.

I have enjoyed an uninterrupted career in the travel industry for over 40 years and I am lucky to have worked for a variety of firms including British Airways and P&O Cruises. I have travelled extensively with my wife Sue, and among my preferred holidays are cruises, fly-drive holidays (especially US and Canada) and short breaks in the UK where we can take our two lovely golden retrievers.

Probably my most memorable trip was a big birthday holiday to Australia via Singapore. We had a few days in Adelaide, then drove along the Great Ocean Road to Melbourne (with a fantastic hot air balloon ride over the Vineyards on the way) – absolutely stunning! We finished off the trip up in Port Douglas, Queensland, met a few Crocs, Kangaroos and Koalas, and went snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef – fabulous!

I love travelling and I love being in the travel business!

Please feel free to pick up the phone and call me now to discuss your travel requirements, whether for holiday or business.

I look forward to talking to you soon!

Travel Update March 2021

01 March 2021

As the vaccine roll continues at a great pace in the UK, around the world the picture is more fragmented. Currently it’s looking like the safest bet for a 2021 holiday is to stay in the UK. What will a staycation mean for you in 2021? It’s a chance to reunite with friends that we haven’t seen for over a year, catching up on the things we’ve missed as we enjoy the activities that we love in the UK’s finest settings. It’s an opportunity to make memories with our loved ones. After so much time spent apart, we’re all eager to be...

Travel Update February 2021

27 January 2021

Travel Update January 2021 Mixed news; while the continued lockdown has quite rightly knocked all our immediate travel plans on the head, the vaccine rollout is gathering momentum across the UK, and the world, which is inspiring us to think about our future dream holidays. There has been a shift in demand to later in the year. October and November 2021 are currently the most popular months to travel, with most people hoping that the tipping point between vaccine and virus will be mid-year. We have noticed a trend towards bookings by the senior end of the market (me included), and older family...

Cottage in the Cotswolds

28 February 2020

Sue and I and our 2 Golden Retrievers went for a winter break in the Cotswolds. We hired the lovely Hazel Manor Wing through Sykes Holiday Cottages, one of our highly recommended suppliers. Hazel Manor Wing, as the name suggests, is the detached and private wing of a rather grand Cotswold manor home. As we drove down onto the property via a sweeping tree-lined drive and waved to the 2 resident donkeys in their adjacent field, we felt 'oh yes, this is the life'. The main building is a listed Cotswold house complete with rambling roses and built in the typical Cotswold stone. Inside,...

Road trip from Kent to Costa del Sol

11 September 2019

Our band (Marvellous Mo and the Back Line Ferrets) decided some time ago it would be a great idea to pop down to Spain and do a few gigs - simples! It took a lot of planning from Marvellous Mo as we needed firstly to secure the gigs and then to hire a suitable vehicle that would convey 5 of the 7 "Ferrets", plus all our instruments, amps, etc - in the end we used an excellent firm called "Vans for Bands" who hired us a lovely extended Merc Sprinter van which was just the job! Due to work commitments, the...

Short trip to Marseille - July 19

19 July 2019

Sue and I travelled in style and comfort on Eurostar from Ashford to Marseille in Standard Premier class, which gave us roomy seats, plus free food and drink (yes, wine). We raced through the French countryside, stopping at Lille, Lyon and Avignon before arriving at Marseille some 5 and a half hours later, which isn't too shabby! We booked the Radisson Blu Hotel, which is very well placed by the main harbour, and reasonably priced. It has a nice pool which is great for cooling off after a hard days sightseeing. There are many dozens of cafes and restaurants within easy walking...

City Break - Palma de Mallorca - July 2018

10 July 2019

Living in Kent, we decided to try flying from London City airport, with an overnight stay at the Doubletree Hilton Excel to avoid any delays getting through the Blackwall Tunnel on a Monday rush hour morning. We could have taken the high-speed train to Stratford and got the Docklands Light Railway to the airport, but due to cost it was cheaper to drive and park at the airport than take the train. We were lucky with the weather and had a beautiful walk along by the King George V dock before our 10-minute drive to the on-airport car park. The beauty...
