It's Nice To Meet You

Welcome to my personal webpage. I am Vikki, and I am your personal Travel Counsellor. I am from Woolston, Southampton and live with my two young children.

I have been a Travel Counsellor for nearly 5 years now and I have over 23 years’ experience in the tourism industry, in both reservations and management. I use my expertise and resources to help in planning the best vacation to match your needs and desires.

I have travelled to various countries throughout the world with my personal favourite holiday destination being Barbados, where I lived for 14 years. Other favourite destinations of mine include Crete, Lapland and New York City.

As every client is unique, I know that no two holidays can be the same. I also know that your dream holiday may not be found within the pages of a glossy brochure on the shelf. This is why I will discuss with you what you want to experience from your trip, then research and build your ideal unique vacation, tailored with you in mind.

Tell me your vacation dreams and I will help bring them into reality for you. I can quote and book all aspects of travel including but not limited to flight only, hotels, car hire, as well as those all-important extras such as pre-flight hotels, airport parking and attraction tickets. So, whether you are looking for a UK Staycation, City Break, Cruise, Beach or Adventure Holiday, Flydrive, Multi-Centre and anything in between, I am more than happy to help plan your trip.

I don’t just sell holidays - I sell dreams and experiences and I will help you tick those once in a lifetime vacations off your bucket list.

My Lapland Hints and Tips

My Lapland Hints and Tips

Lapland is one of the most magical places you will ever visit, trust me! I took my children, aged 4 and 12 at the time, to Lapland in December 2024 through Canterbury Travel (see previous blog) and it is the holiday we talk about the most often. It always warms my heart when I look back to our photos from those enchanting three nights away. However, as this is a once in a lifetime adventure, yo

My First Cruise

My First Cruise

Despite selling cruises for years and years, I recently sailed on my first cruise onboard P&O's Iona to Northern Europe from Southampton. Our cabin was a balcony cabin with bunks for the children and we thoroughly enjoyed watching the word go by from the comfort of our balcony. We ate at Olive Grove (a personal favourite), The Quays as well as the main dining rooms and the buffet. I only dined

Ultimate Luxury at The Sandy Lane Hotel

Ultimate Luxury at The Sandy Lane Hotel

I was fortunate enough to have a site inspection of the prestigious Sandy Lane hotel in Barbados recently and it was everything I had imagined and more. It is a member of The Leading Hotels of the World, and from the moment you enter the gates, you just know you are in a world of exquisite luxury. There are two things that come to mind when I think of Sandy Lane – the colour pink and monkeys – b

Premium Economy to Barbados

Premium Economy to Barbados

I flew to Barbados at the end of August 2021 with Virgin Atlantic from London Heathrow in their premium economy cabin. I have flown a few times during Covid however, I have not travelled premium economy since pre-Covid (anyone remember those days?? They seem like a lifetime ago now). As expected, masks are worn throughout the airport and during the flight, only taken off to eat and drink. As I
