It's Nice To Meet You
Hello, my name is Trudy. I am a Travel Counsellor living in Angmering with my husband and two children Alexie and Delilah.
I have worked in the travel industry now for over 20 years. I started out straight from school as an apprentice for Lunn Poly, rocking their fabulous tartan uniform! Since then I have gained a wealth of knowledge and experience in all things travel. I have worked for independent agents and tour operators and have gained invaluable insight into how to get the best from the industry.
Having most recently worked 10 years for a luxury tour operator, I have been lucky enough to have visited many high-end hotels across Europe. This first-hand knowledge puts me in an ideal position to be able to recommend the right hotel to suit my clients needs. I have travelled to some beautiful destinations in Europe including many parts of Italy, Greece and Croatia. I honeymooned in Kenya and have also visited many parts of Northern Africa. One of my favourite destinations to sell is Orlando, specifically Disney and Universal.
The best thing for me about being a Travel Counsellor is that I get to use my passion for travel along with my experience to help others find what is right for them. Everyone’s idea of the perfect holiday is unique, and I love nothing more than getting to know my clients needs and helping them to find the right holiday for them.
I will be with you from initial enquiry, to booking and will be on hand to help with anything you need until you return from your trip. You can be reassured that I am only a phone call away.
I would love to hear from you so please pick up the phone and give me a call or message me so I can find out more about what you have in mind for your next trip.
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain

First Time Family Ski

We took our first family skiing holiday this Half Term. My husband has skied before but over 20 years ago, and the girls and I were complete beginners. We chose Arinsal in Andorra as our destination as it is perfect for beginners. Andorra does not have it’s own airport so you need to fly into France or Spain. We decided to fly into Barcelona and tagged on a 3-night stay in Barcelona first (r

My Big Fat Greek Holiday

I certainly plunged into the deep end on my first trip to Greece. Athens in the middle of August isn’t for everyone and I must admit climbing up to the Acropolis in the near 40-degree heat was hard going. And you would think that being shaken awake in the early hours by an earthquake would have put me off forever! However, this trip was the beginning of my love affair with Greece. Since this fi
