It's Nice To Meet You
Hello, I’m Sue.
I have always had a sense of adventure but my passion for travel really began in my early twenties when I spent six months exploring the USA and Canada. An amazing experience, it really opened my eyes and mind to the joys of travelling.
Since then I have enjoyed over 28 years working in the travel industry as a travel agent in Canterbury and Broadstairs and more recently as travel store manager in Birchington. During this time I was very fortunate to visit many wonderful destinations including Italy which I love (especially Rome), Greece, Turkey, and the Canary Islands.
Travels further afield have taken me to many amazing locations, some personal favourites being Australia including Sydney and the Great Barrier Reef, Dubai, the Far East including Thailand and China and the Caribbean including Mexico. I am also a huge Disney fan and have visited Disneyworld in Florida several times as well as Disneyland Paris, closer to home.
As a Travel Counsellor I can offer you independent advice and use my own travel experience together with a wealth of product choice to make sure I find the holiday that is right for you. If I do not have first-hand experience of a destination I have access to over 1000 colleagues around the world who can offer their local knowledge and insight.
I love my job and really enjoy helping customers with their own travel plans. I can offer you a friendly, honest and efficient service and because my working hours are flexible I can be available at a time that suits you. You can also rest assured knowing that everything you book with me is 100% financially protected giving you complete peace of mind that your money is safe.
No enquiry is too big or too small and I understand that all holidays are special. I can help with arrangements for UK and city breaks, family or group holidays, flights, cruises, luxury holidays, honeymoons, tailor-made arrangements, and much more. So next time you are thinking of making travel plans, why not give me a call or email me, I would love to hear from you.

P&O Britannia
I felt lucky to be invited to visit Britannia in Southampton before her launch in April 2015. She is the latest edition to the P&O fleet and is the largest cruise ship built exclusively for the British market. It was exciting to be among the first to explore Britannia and sample her hospitality, dining and facilities. On entering the ship, the atrium is very eye catching and a lovely space to e

Prague is so pretty!
At just under two hours my flight to Prague was quick and easy. Outside the airport it was a chilly November day with a lovely blue sky. I decided to try the public transport to get from the airport to the city centre and this proved to be easy, only taking around 30 minutes using both bus and metro, costing a mere £1.50! Other transfer options include the airport shuttle bus or a taxi. Once in

Super time in Skiathos!
Skiathos is a beach lover’s dream - with over 60 beaches to choose from you will be spoilt for choice! It is a beautiful island, only 12 miles long, very green, clad with pine trees. With just a short flight of approximately 3.5 hours and speedy transfers this is a perfect getaway for a week or two. Skiathos is easy to navigate, there being only one main road from top to bottom.

When in Rome!
Rome is one of those places that just takes your breath away! It is truly a feast for the eyes, a must see destination for anyone who enjoys history, culture, good food and more. There is so much to see and do, a few days cannot do this wonderful city justice, however there is much to enjoy in a short break. Choosing a good centrally located hotel is a good starting point which will reduce unne

Florida Fun!
Having previously stayed at the All Star Resorts in Disneyworld, Florida, this time we decided to try the Animal Kingdom Lodge Hotel, and I am so pleased we did. The hotel itself is an African lodge-style resort and as you enter the hotel the lobby itself is stunning! The hotel offers a wide choice of dining options and a lovely outdoor pool area for relaxing. The hotel rooms have handcrafted

Dazzling Dubai
I visited Dubai for four days travelling in mid-October. We flew with Emirates so our flight was very comfortable, the time passing quickly as they have an award winning in-flight entertainment system called 'ice', with up to 1400 channels available on demand! On arrival in Dubai it was a short 20 minute transfer to our hotel, Le Meridien Mina Seyahi Beach Resort & Marina, which was directly on

Meeting turtles in Mexico!
I was delighted to arrive at my hotel Grand Bahia Principe Tulum and settle in after a long journey. My hotel was one of three hotels which makes up the Riviera Maya Resort, the other two hotels being Coba and Akumal. I chose the resort as it offers a wealth of amenities and restaurants and guests can use the facilities of all three hotels while they are there. Waking up the next day was a jo

Palma to Soller by train
I have visited Majorca several times before and always enjoyed exploring the island, but on this visit I decided to take the famous train journey from Palma through the rugged Serra de Tramuntana Mountains to Soller. First thing in the morning I made my way to the station in the Plaza d'Espanya in central Palma and purchased my ticket to ride the train. It’s a very popular trip and gets busy so
