Beautiful journeys, thoughtfully planned.

Hi, I’m Suzie — your personal Travel Counsellor based on the Essex / Herts borders with my husband and 2 children. I help families, couples and adventure-seekers plan unforgettable, tailor-made holidays without the stress.

My love of travel started when I was 18 and headed off to Fiji for three months to volunteer on a marine conservation project. Scuba diving every day in turquoise waters on beaches I’d only ever seen in films? It was a no-brainer. That trip completely changed me and sparked a lifelong passion for long-haul travel and once-in-a-lifetime experiences.

Since then, I’ve travelled to over 30 countries (and counting!) and now my children join in the adventures too.

I specialise in…
Long-haul holidays
Multi-centre and tailor-made trips
Luxury beach escapes
Asia travel
Family adventure holidays
Off-the-beaten-track experiences
All-inclusive and boutique hotel stays

Asia is a real passion of mine — the culture, the people, the food (especially the food!). Whether it’s island hopping in Thailand, spotting wildlife in Borneo, exploring temples in Cambodia or adding on a luxury Maldives beach stay, I love putting together seamless multi-stop itineraries that just work.

As a mum, I’m especially passionate about showing families how easy — and incredible — long-haul travel with children can be. With the right planning, it’s not stressful… it’s magical.


Why book through me?
I offer a completely bespoke travel planning service. That means I take the time to understand what you really want from your holiday, then research and design the perfect trip around you.

I can arrange everything:
✈️ Flights
🏨 Luxury and boutique hotels
🌴 All-inclusive resorts
🚢 Ocean and river cruises
🚗 Transfers
🎟️ Excursions and experiences
🚆 Rail journeys
💍 Honeymoons & special occasions

I handle all the details, manage your booking from start to finish and am there if you need anything before, during or after your trip. It saves you hours of scrolling and comparing — and removes the stress completely.

Plus, for total peace of mind, all packages are fully ATOL protected and 100% financially protected through the Travel Counsellors Financial Trust.

Some of my favourite travel memories include scuba diving with manta rays in Fiji, watching wild orangutans swing through the trees in Borneo and meeting native tribes in Ethiopia. Those are the kinds of unforgettable travel moments I love helping my clients experience.

If you’re thinking about a city break, a multi-centre adventure, a luxury long-haul escape or a relaxing white-sand beach holiday, let’s have a no-obligation chat.

Planning your holiday should be exciting, not overwhelming, and I promise to make the whole process easy, personal and genuinely enjoyable.

So… where shall we go next?

Thank you for sorting all the arrangements out for us. It all worked like clockwork and there were no hiccups, apart from the arrival in Rio but it was all sorted very quickly. We will certainly recommend you to friends. The amount of travelling we did could have been problematic but it all went so smoothly.

Malcolm Toll

Just a quick message to say thank you for doing such a great job of organising the holiday! We all had such a wonderful time, and it was as good as, or probably better than we could have hoped! Thanks again, and Merry Christmas!

Sarah Ganney

I just wanted to thank you for your help in getting this holiday package together, We really appreciate your prompt responses and the whole family is looking forward to our trip. We will definitely be contacting you again to book any future special holidays.

It was absolutely perfect. Such an amazing trip as a couple but will definitely be returning with my teen children next time. Food was plentiful and delicious. Service was excellent, everyone was so helpful. And the house reef was brilliant. Could not fault the island one bit. Suzie listened to what I wanted for a holiday and every box was ticked and more highly recommend!

Emma Kirby

Very helpful & knowledgeable. I knew roughly what I wanted for my holiday and Suzie took the stress out of booking it.

We booked our holiday through Suzie Platt this year and would never go back! Gone are the hours of trawling through the internet for inspiration and options! We spoke to our counsellor with our requirements but we didn’t even have a destination in mind. After, we downloaded the app. Through this we were offered several amazing choices all tailored to what we’d love. We chose Egypt and our package included beach resort with internal flights for a Cairo trip to see the pyramids and a half day boat trip to experience the wow factor of the Red Sea coral reefs. Everything was arranged for us and all the documentation we needed was added to the app so all in one place and no need for files of printed off papers. We thought that was it as a service and were impressed with everything. However once we were away there was a phone mast fire and we had no service so couldn’t communicate final confirmations etc. In jumped Suzie, who ran everything for us from her end and made it possible for things to still go ahead. Others who had booked through the well known holiday provider had their trips cancelled. We were amazed how smoothly everything went, even with things we’d forgotten to ask for like late checkout had already been added by our counsellor. There was no up selling but plenty of options for us to be inspired by, everything was within our budget we’d asked for and none of it cost us a penny extra! Suzie has so much knowledge and travel experience, she was like having a chat with Google Assistant! Super friendly and very professional, we felt looked after at every turn, nothing was too much trouble, a quick check-in with us to make sure all was good on arrival but we weren’t hassled and as I say as soon as we needed help she was there at the drop of a hat, sorting things out in the background! So pleased to have found this service - it’s the only way to travel!

My consultant Suzie helped me every step of the way. She calmed my worries about taking on such a big holiday/adventure to Japan. Every aspect was covered with nothing missed, she was there when I was away if I needed help or had a query. She even checked me in to the flights and sent me a lovely travel pack with my Name on it. It was a great holiday and that’s all down to Suzie.
