Creating meaningful journeys for curious people to explore the world with confidence

Why I chose Travel Counsellors

I chose Travel Counsellors because it gives me the freedom to work in a way that reflects what I value most: building genuine relationships, offering honest advice and creating exceptional travel experiences that are completely tailored to the individual.

After years in leadership roles across travel, education and commercial organisations, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to step away from the corporate world and return to something I genuinely love. Travel has given me some of my most memorable experiences, friendships and life lessons, and I wanted to build a career around helping others discover the world in their own way.

Travel Counsellors provides the platform to do that. I can offer a highly personal service while giving clients the reassurance of award-winning technology, financial protection, trusted supplier partnerships and round-the-clock support. It combines the independence of running my own business with the backing of a global travel company that shares my belief that travel should be personal, meaningful and memorable.

My own travels have taken me from safaris and wilderness adventures across sub-Saharan Africa to wildlife-rich journeys in Borneo and Madagascar, extensive travel throughout Europe and Southeast Asia, and explorations of Mongolia, China and the USA. Those experiences reinforced something I’ve always believed: the most rewarding journeys aren't about seeing more places — they're about connecting more deeply with them.

Today, I use that experience to help individuals, families and groups create journeys that inspire curiosity, build confidence and leave lasting memories long after they return home.

Whether you have a destination in mind or are looking for inspiration, a Travel Planning Session gives us the chance to explore what's possible together. We'll discuss your ideas, interests and ambitions for the trip, and I'll help shape them into something that's personal, exciting and completely tailored to you.

My preference is always to meet face-to-face where possible, but we can also connect by phone or video.

All you need to bring is a sense of curiosity.
