Ready to try something new this year? ✈️🌍

Whether you're dreaming of tranquil beaches or vibrant cityscapes, with our' destination knowledge and expertise here at Travel Counsellors we can curate the perfect trip for you. Let myself handle all the details so you can explore the world with confidence.

Montenegro instead of Croatia, Montenegro is an often-overlooked gem that offers the same stunning Adriatic coastline as Croatia but with a calm and relaxed atmosphere. 🇲🇪

Slovenia instead of Switzerland, if you dream of alpine landscapes and pristine lakes, Slovenia is the perfect alternative to Switzerland. Slovenia's natural beauty is truly awe-inspiring. 🇸🇮

Chicago instead of New York City, while New York City is often seen as the ultimate urban destination, Chicago offers a similar big-city experience with its own unique charm. 🇺🇸

Seville instead of Madrid.🇪🇸

For those craving the famed culture and warmth of Spain, Seville is a captivating alternative to Madrid. ☀️

Hey everyone , I am taking on battle cancer next week, raising money for the children’s cancer hospital in Lebanon. I won’t be doing this alone. I’m part of the most amazing team .dxb and I thought I’d share our charity page in case any of you would like to donate.

Here in the UAE donating to charities has to be the selected ones chosen by .uae and has to be a local charity.

I know most of you know that my brother in law is fighting pancreatic cancer and members of my team have also got family members fighting Cancer.

For every rep we do as a team, I will also be personally donating to the Pancreatic Cancer Group in the UK
❤️❤️

Our goal is to reach 1000aed minimum by next Saturday, so any amount is greatly appreciated. This competition means a lot to us as some of us are going through it personally with family members! And for anyone wanting to come a cheer us on, our heat is at 1:30pm at the dubai sevens next Saturday

Link is in my bio 🙏🏻❤️

I always try to plan the perfect holiday and break away. Sometimes beyond my control things happen and I’m always on the other end of the phone to help my clients out 24/7. My clients really always value what I do, being self employed I always try to wow my clients. Sometimes it’s the small things that make a huge difference. In my 25 years of travel, I’ve had the best feedback and comments from my clients. They really say the nicest things and for that it makes me love my job even more. Thank you for always supporting and valuing what I do.

“Joanne helped me plan a recent holiday to New York and not only was she extremely efficient, knowledgeable and organised, taking away all the hassle and stress of organising a trip, she was an absolute delight.

She listened to all my reasonable (and unreasonable) concerns and really set my mind at ease every step of the way. She went above and beyond, from arranging cake and Prosecco when we got to our hotel, to helping us get reimbursed for a no-show transportation cost after our trip.

I cannot recommend her services enough and will definitely use her services again. Now to decide where to go next?”

Thanks for this wonderful review. 🤩❤️

Very proud to share 3 new independent awards won by Travel Counselors last night at the Agent Achievement Awards.

This morning I was thinking how lucky I am to be a TC, and working for such an amazing company with the best colleagues who want nothing but the best for our clients - It is so great to see the excellent culture and development recognised by the industry.

⭐️ HOMEWORKING AGENCY OF THE YEAR - we often win this one and it feels so good to see us win it again.
⭐️ BEST AGENCY TO WORK FOR - being in the travel industry for 25 years my career my business now is definitely a very different environment to what I had in my 20’s and 30’s. Amazing and so wonderful to enjoy the support of a head office team who are friendly and so qualified and of course they too love their jobs and are so happy with what they do each and every day.

⭐️ SUSTAINABILITY CHAMPION OF THE YEAR - So very important these days. We have a team solely dedicated to pushing us in the right direction on this. Removal of plastics, recyclable customer documentation, carbon offsetting, planting trees, responsible and ethical partners, educating corporate customers... so much goes on that I don't know about, but I know it is happening.

GREECE is so popular right now 🇬🇷
Island hopping itineraries is something I love to put together.
Mykonos, Paros and Naxos is one of the itineraries I’ve just recently booked for a client of mine.

I would suggest no less than a week and to hop 2-3 islands to make sure you don’t burn out. It also depends on which island you are looking to visit, as some bigger islands would take longer to cover!

Paros is arguably the cutest island to visit on my Cyclades island hopping trip.

Paros is known for its nightlife, boutiques, and traditional Cycladic white-washed houses with bougainvillea flowers.

You can spend the day on the beach, explore traditional villages, go hiking, horse-riding, wine tasting, sailing, shopping, and, of course, drinking and dining till as late as you wish.

If you want to know more about Greece and how I can put together your Summer itinerary for 2023 or 2024. Please get in touch.

Travel update from me, running a small business is exciting but also exhausting and emotionally draining at times. I offer a personalised service to all my clients.

I am working so hard to offer you the best service I can. Please bear with me if you are waiting to hear from me. Thank you for your support 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
