It's Nice To Meet You
I’m Vicky, your personal travel consultant based just outside northwest Preston, Lancashire.
Travel has always been my passion, and I feel very fortunate to have turned that passion into my career. I have worked for several tour operators for over 15 years in a variety of roles and, after taking a break to raise my children, I returned as an independent travel consultant, a role I absolutely love. This love of travel, combined with my first-hand experience and industry knowledge, means I truly understand how to create holidays that are both memorable and perfectly tailored to each client.
Here’s how I can help as your personal travel planner:
Bespoke Holidays
I work as both a tour operator and a travel agent, with access to specialist systems that allow me to build personalised holiday packages as well as search across a wide range of trusted travel providers. This means you benefit from a highly flexible, tailored service that goes far beyond what you will find online or on the high street.
Expert Knowledge
As part of Travel Counsellors, I have access to a global network of experts and trusted in-resort partners. Whether you want a relaxing beach break, luxury retreat, family adventure, group getaway or once-in-a-lifetime journey, every element is carefully researched and thoughtfully planned.
Personal Service
From our first chat to the moment you arrive home, I am your single, dedicated point of contact. I handle the logistics so you can simply relax and enjoy. You will also benefit from:
• 24/7 emergency support while you are away
• Full financial protection for peace of mind
• A 5-star rated service trusted by thousands of travellers
Flexible, Convenient Planning
I work from home, which means I can fit around your life. We can chat by phone, WhatsApp, email or in person where possible, at a time that suits you. I take the time to understand exactly what you’re looking for, ensuring every holiday I create is perfectly matched to you.
The Little Details
I love going the extra mile: from checking you in for your flights and recommending hidden gems, to contacting your hotel ahead of arrival to arrange special touches where possible.
My aim is simple: to remove the stress, save you time, and design exceptional travel experiences you will remember forever.
I would be delighted to help you plan your next unforgettable journey - please get in touch.

I wanted to write about how I feel with this as it's incredibly topical! But in my opinion maybe use AI for inspiration. But do not confuse information with experience. Here's why...

Staying at the beautifully refurbished Palais de la Méditerranée in Nice with my two teenage daughters, we packed our days with characterful old towns, chic beach clubs and picture‑perfect hilltop villages. It was a short break that felt wonderfully high‑end yet still rel

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.
