Self Employed

My passion is travel! With over 25 years of experience in the travel industry I would be delighted to help you make your plans and dreams a reality. Whether it's a once in a lifetime “round the world trip”, a 3 month sabbatical, an adventure tour or a relaxing holiday, I have a wealth of knowledge to enable you to get the best deal and experience possible.

I have travelled extensively throughout the world visiting places such as South America, Australia, China, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, USA, Africa and Canada. I have also travelled throughout Europe much of which I did on foot.

I provide a one stop, bespoke service for you at a time that suits. I am available to talk in the evenings and over the weekend and I’m always a phone call or email away. As an independent consultant I am not constrained to particular travel brands and can hand pick the appropriate providers for your needs, enabling me to put together a truly tailor made experience.

Operating my business through Travel Counsellors means that you can have complete peace of mind, knowing that everything you book with me has 100% financial protection and support from an award winning company.

I look forward to hearing from you
