Helen Bush Gold Travel Counsellor - 01282 797330 Award winning Travel Agent celebrating 34 years of selling holidays, offering a friendly, personal, Hello, I'm Helen – welcome to my page!
(2)

I’ve been a Travel Counsellor for 17 years, with a total of 34 years selling holidays. In recent years I’ve received the prestigious award of ‘Travel Counsellor Newcomer’, also reaching Gold status – placing me in the top tier of Travel Counsellors worldwide! So you’re in good hands! I love to travel and enjoy using my experience and knowledge to find my customers the perfect holiday. My customers

trust me and enjoy my one to one service. In a recent Travel Counsellors survey, 100% of my customers said they would use me for future travel requirements and recommend me to their friends and family – which makes me incredibly proud. I’ve travelled across Australia, Asia and the Americas, organised my own wedding in Mauritius and visited countless European destinations. I’m a USA specialist, with one of my favourite parts being the Gulf Coast of Florida. Recently I fell in love with India and Nepal as part of a Gold Travel Counsellors trip! Cruising is a passion of mine, and I've recently sailed on Regent Seven Seas' Explorer, RCCL`s Independence of the Seas, Voyager of the Seas, NCL`s Norwegian Gem and Seabourn`s newest ship the Seabourn Quest. As a result I am able to offer advice and holidays with many different cruise companies. So why book with me and not online? Many people believe that by booking online they’re getting the best deal, but it isn’t always the case. I check holidays every day to find the best deals. I’m not tied to any one supplier, but I benefit from the fantastic buying power of Travel Counsellors – giving you unparalleled value. In addition, everything you book with me is financially protected by either ATOL or the Travel Counsellors Financial Trust. Why spend your precious time searching the internet when I can do it for you? I’ll get to know you in a way the internet can’t, so you can be assured that when you book with me, you’re getting the right holiday. From business travel to cruising, packages or tailor-made holidays of a lifetime, I’ll take care of all your arrangements. I can also advise on weddings and honeymoons abroad. My business is growing thanks to happy customers recommending me to their friends and family. It is the biggest compliment I could get. For help with your travel needs, get in touch with me today!

🎉End of Year Wrap Up🎉

Just a few lines to sum up 2022 and to thank all of my super clients for your wonderful support over the last 12 months, but more importantly, for as long as I've been running my own business.

2022 hasn't been without its challenges, Covid restrictions were still in place for part of the year, flight cancellations, airport delays at security due to staff shortages and strike action.

Having said all this, September saw my biggest month for departures with over 50 bookings travelling and December was my biggest sales month of the year.

During the year I have been lucky enough to travel to The Maldives 🇲🇻, Milan and Lake Como 🇮🇹 , the Cotswolds 🇬🇧, do Greek Island hopping 🇬🇷, followed by a short break in Athens 🇬🇷, a winter sun trip to Mauritius 🇲🇺 and a couple of weekend breaks in sunny Cardiff! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

I'm looking forward to what 2023 brings, helping you with your travel plans and helping you make fantastic holiday memories. Happy New Year to you all, wishing you health and happiness! ❤️

Fabulous weekend at our Travel Counsellors conference in Liverpool, the first for 3 years (for certain reasons!!!) It was great to catch up with my TC colleagues and spend time with them over the weekend. I was also lucky enough to win a fabulous Northern Lights trip courtesy of Transun Holidays & presented to me by none other than Vernon Kay (bit star struck 🤣) our Friday night host, plus another prize on Saturday of a BIG BIG bottle of prosecco 🍾 from Exodus Travels. A big thank you to both. We enjoyed fabulous speakers Sir Lenny Henry, Rebecca Adlington OBE, Paul McKenna and Bianca Miller Cole and great entertainment from Boyzlife, Kimberley Wyatt, Clean Banditz and Madhen. A huge thank you to all head office staff, suppliers, speakers and my special TC friends & partners for making it a fabulous weekend. Roll on Manchester 2023 ❤

🇬🇷🇬🇷 GREEK ISLAND HOPPING 🇬🇷🇬🇷

Which Greek islands would you choose ?
I love ❤️ to create bespoke itineraries for my clients, and this is one that I have put together for some lovely clients of mine, how lovely does it look 👀.
My clients will fly to Santorini and enjoy 4 Nights in a beautiful boutique style property in Kamari, before sailing by ferry to the lesser known, picturesque island of Naxos for 4 nights. After their stay in Naxos, they are jumping on the Fastcraft to take them down to Crete, where they will spend the last 12 nights in the small fishing village of Sissi. They`ll be staying at my favourite hotel in Sissi - The Maritimo, where many of my clients have stayed too.
If you dream of doing something similar, get in touch & I can help create your island hopping trip!
For me - I`d be very greedy and my perfect Island hopping would include: Santorini, Naxos, Paros, Ios and I`d finish in Mykonos. 🤩

👀 SPRING TIME TOUR OF SICILY 🍷🍦🍕

Unique culture and beauty.......
Sicily has been at the crossroads of almost every Mediterranean civilisation for thousands of years, leaving the island with traces of their culture, architecture, and history.

In character, Sicilians are markedly different from the rest of Italians, with their own Sicilian language and dialects, as well as a uniquely vibrant cuisine. Influences come from Africa as well as Europe for its food and culture.

Sicily’s landscape is just as varied, with rugged, snow-capped mountains, meadows of wildflowers, citrus and olive groves, and a stunning coastline with red volcanic rocks and wide sweeping bays.

Lovely first day in the charming city of Seville. An easy 2 hour flight from the UK and a little more compact than Barcelona and Madrid. We have had glorious warm sunshine and blue skies all day, such a welcome change in November from the grey skies of home. Today we have spent time at the Plaza De Espana and The Alcazar, wandered the streets of this lovely city and enjoyed a great tapas lunch in a side street.

I wanted to remind you about the NHS Covid Pass required for travel abroad. I would recommend setting this up now even if you don't have imminent travel plans, to ensure you are prepared for when you do travel abroad. There are various security measures in place, which vary from user-to-user, meaning verification time can be instant for some and take considerably longer for others. Please make sure you complete this at least a fortnight in advance of travel.

Digital versions can be accessed by downloading the NHS App (you must be registered with a GP surgery), or by using the online NHS Covid Pass service. Paper versions can be requested online or by calling 119 if you’re travelling in more than 4 weeks’ time. You also need to make sure your NHS Covid Pass and Passport are both in the same name.
