It's Nice To Meet You
Welcome, I am Vanda, your personal travel specialist.
With almost 40 years in the leisure travel industry and with the last 6 years as a truly independent Travel Counsellor, I offer a depth of knowledge and first-hand experience that comes from a lifetime in travel. My business is built on personal recommendations and word-of-mouth referrals, and I am proud to look after multiple generations of the same families.
Travel is not just my career, it is my lifelong passion, shared with my partner Ian. We genuinely love to travel and are always exploring new destinations, hotels and experiences, including my upcoming multi-centre trip to Thailand this Christmas, so I can pass that real-world insight directly on to you.
I offer impartial, independent advice and a genuinely personal service, taking the time to understand what matters most to you. I specialise in bespoke, tailor-made itineraries, from complex multi-centre trips to unique experiences that reflect your individual style. Because I am not tied to any airline or hotel group, every recommendation is chosen purely for you.
My own travels have taken me across Europe, the Far East, the Caribbean, the USA and Egypt. Jamaica holds a special place in my heart as it is where I learned to scuba dive, sparking a love of the underwater world that I believe everyone should experience at least once. I am also a keen cruise enthusiast, having sailed the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Northern Europe and the River Nile from Luxor to Aswan. I've also recently experienced the magic of Walt Disney World in Florida for the first time in my life - I can now officially call myself a Disney Adult!
Whether you are dreaming of a luxury beach escape, an inspiring cultural journey, a special cruise or a carefully crafted family adventure, I am here to make every step effortless and completely tailored to you.
Contact me to start planning your next holiday and let us turn your travel dreams into memories you will treasure.

Why use a Travel Counsellor
Let's plan your dream trip together
Tailor-made for you
Your holiday isn’t just a trip away. It’s a longed-for escape, time to reconnect with loved ones, or a dream adventure you never thought possible. That’s why I take the time to truly get to know you and understand your hopes and expectations, then use my experience, connections and passion for the destination to create a trip that makes those dreams a reality.
Personalised service. Always
When you plan a holiday with me, you’ll be given my personal mobile number from the very first call. I’ll listen to your thoughts and ideas like I would a friend and arrange accommodation, activities, and flights that are all personalised to you. And I’ll share my personal tips and recommendations, so you can experience the true beauty of each destination.
Stress-free travel, and more time for what matters most
I believe your time away should be stress-free, easy, and seamless from start to finish. So, I take care of all the details for you - from ATOL protection, insurance, and flexible payments to access to the myTC app, which keeps everything in one place.
Support when it matters most
If the unexpected happens, you can rest easy, knowing that I’ll handle any last-minute changes, flight cancellations, or disruptions before you even pick up the phone. So you always feel happy, carefree, and ready to make the most of every moment.
