Ava Coffin - About Me
Hi, I’m Ava Coffin, and I’d like to tell you a bit about myself...
I was first bitten by the travel bug 42 years ago, working as a holiday rep on the Costa Brava! It was at the beginning of the package tour industry...which has certainly grown and changed since then! Many holidays and adventures later, I returned to the travel business over 12 years ago, working for a leading

tour operator, as a Travel Advisor and Cruise Consultant. For the past 6 years I have worked from my home in Southampton, as a Personal Holiday Advisor, and am now an associate of Designer Travel, an exciting and innovative company, who really understand the importance of customer care, and share my passion to deliver a friendly, honest, unbiased and reliable travel service. We are fully ABTA bonded and ATOL protected, so your money is safe!....Working from home, this role gives me a unique opportunity to dedicate my time to you, during and outside office hours. Whether it's a family/friends holiday, wedding or honeymoon, cruise, city break or a round-the-world itinerary, I know your holiday time is precious. Tell me what is important to you, your likes, dislikes and budget, and I will do my very best to match your requirements and attend to all those little 'extra details.'Flight only? Accommodation only? Airport Hotels and Parking? Travel insurance? I can arrange all those too. I've been privileged to travel extensively, primarily in Europe, the Caribbean, the USA and Africa, and so can offer personal advice and input, on many destinations. We have enjoyed many wonderful family holidays over the years, mainly in the Mediterranean....but now our daughters are grown my husband Clive and I tend to travel further afield. We love the Caribbean...each island is entirely unique, both in its culture and its people...there is so much to explore and learn. We also really enjoy cruising...there is now such a diversity of Cruise lines to choose from...we’re determined to try them all!...
So, where would you like to go? Please email or telephone me today, so we can start planning your next holiday together. I look forward to hearing from you!
