It's Nice To Meet You

Hello, my name is Susan and I am a Travel Counsellor based in the Northeast of England. After a spell in London of ten years I returned to the Northeast to re-connect with my Geordie roots.

Before becoming a Travel Counsellor in 2015, I have worked within the travel industry for twenty two years. During this time I have specialised in a range of travel including Corporate Travel, Worldwide and European Tailor-made Holidays, Ski Holidays, VIP Luxury Travel and Wellbeing Spa Holidays. I absolutely pride myself on my dedication to create the perfect holiday/trip for all of my clients, whether they need to travel on Business or they are requiring a complete get away from it all. No matter which area of travel I have worked in I have created long lasting and personal relationships along the way.

Travel is my ultimate passion! I love to travel to new destinations, meeting the locals and experiencing new cultures and customs. I will always remember what that dream holiday means to you or how important it is that you arrive on time for your business meeting. Wellbeing is also my other passion, could it be that you are now looking for something more than a holiday and you need “a life changing experience” this is where I can offer advice and create the right holiday for you.
During my years in travel I have been extremely fortunate and have travelled extensively worldwide however The Far East has a truly special place in my heart, in particular India, Thailand and Vietnam. There is something for everyone in all of these destinations from beach holidays in Goa to the birthplace of yoga or the hustle and bustle of Bangkok to the laid back lifestyle on the islands. Maybe you want to travel to an Asian country which is less visited? Then Vietnam is the answer, a mixture of history, culture, golf, spa and stunning beaches, this truly healing country will leave you feeling energised and wanting to return time and time again.

I understand that to create your perfect trip takes time and planning and needs to be done at a time to suit you therefore I can offer a fully flexible service working around you and the times you are available, what is important to me is that you are 100% satisfied with the choice that you make.
I look forward to hearing from you……..soon.

Susan's understanding of the travel industry, the changes it is currently going through is, I think, second to none and has really helped us in booking our future travel which makes our lives so much easier and saves us from worrying if we are doing it correctly ourselves.

John Heslop

Newcastle

I would definitely recommend Travel Counsellor Susan Burleigh to friends, family and colleagues. She was most professional and able to work miracles when we had left it late to make our booking. Susan found us flights, without a long layover in between, and accommodation in Sydney, between the dates which we had given her. It must have been frustrating as I have bad anxiety at the moment, and didn't always notice her messages straight away.. We had every help and suggestions we could have hoped for. Susan made anything seem to be no trouble at all, and this was a great help to us. We would definitely recommend her complete service to anyone .....how does she always sound so cheerful!

I wanted to offer some feedback about one of your Travel Counsellors, Susan Burleigh. In short, Susan has been amazing and the level of service she has provided has been superb and very much appreciated. I understand you are all working in unique and stressful circumstances yet Susan has continued to be responsive, thorough and honest with her approach. So much so that I will no longer shop around and use other travel specialists going forward; I'll come directly to Susan in the future. Hopefully one day soon we can all enjoy some holidays again.

My son Sam, who has benefitted from Susan's practical help and travel advice for several years, urged me to contact her regarding an elaborate travel plan for Julia and myself to celebrate our Golden Wedding in style.

As I have special needs I particularly appreciated her concern over securing assistance for us at appropriate stages of our journeys. Susan has offered outstanding service!

Susan Burleigh went above and beyond to ensure my trip was tailored to match my requirements and within my budget. I also received tips and information on the places I planned to visit along with several options provided for hotels. Susan kept in touch and did everything to facilitate my trip , first class treatment and service. Once the holiday was complete I encountered some issues with airline delays and Susan kept in touch and ensured I got home as quickly as possible and is handling a complaint against the airline on my behalf.
