It's Nice To Meet You
I’m Suzie and I am based in Wiltshire with my two teenagers and a run-away dog, Skittles. We arrived 4 years ago in the height of the pandemic after 18 years in South Africa, where I had built a career in film and events.
My experience in event management has naturally transitioned into the world of travel, where I bring my skills in organisation and attention to detail, to crafting unforgettable holiday experiences. I specialise in planning, booking, and ensuring a smooth and personalised journey for clients and families who trust in me to create their dream getaways. I have a lot of first hand knowledge of South African trips and excursions so please tap into this!
Prior to joining Travel Counsellors, I was a client of Travel Counsellors for over 10 years, working with wonderful agents who managed all of our business travel arrangements across several large scale events, seamlessly.
Give me a call or pop me an email if you would like to explore some travel options and we can start designing your next trip! Follow me on my social media to see updates and latest offers.

Never Underestimate the Power of a 3–4 Day Getaway
We’re often led to believe that holidays need to be long to be worthwhile. Seven, ten, even fourteen days—or it doesn’t count, right? But I want to challenge that idea. Recently, my daughter and I took a three-night, all-inclusive trip to Kos, and I can honestly say it was one of the most relaxing and rewarding breaks we’ve had in a long time. We stayed at the beautiful Atlantica Beach Resort, a

Japan: The Ultimate Bucket List Destination
I recently asked friends and family about their dream travel destination, and the top answer? Japan! And what better time to visit than April, when the iconic cherry blossoms (sakura) are in full bloom. Why is April so special? Cherry Blossoms: Parks and temples are transformed into pink wonderlands—think Kyoto’s Philosopher’s Path or Tokyo’s Ueno Park. Mild Weather: Comfortable temperatures (10

A Memorable Ski Break in Saint-Gervais
I use the term 'break' loosely. Read on.

A romantic March escape to the Algarve
In March, my partner and I took a five-day break to the Algarve, Portugal, hoping for some early spring sunshine. Unfortunately, the weather had other plans—it was cold and wet for most of the trip. But despite the less-than-ideal conditions, the Algarve still managed to charm me with its beauty and unique offerings. We stayed at the Wellness Cascade Hotel in Lagos, a stunning property with lovel
