Felicity Benn Holidays My name is Felicity (Flis) and I'm an independent travel expert at award-winning company, Travel Counsellors. Ready to turn your travel dreams into reality?

I’m Flis (Felicity) and I love to make people happy. Based in Gloucestershire, I bring over 20 years of experience as a personal travel consultant, having managed high street stores for First Choice, Virgin and Thomas Cook before embarking on my journey as an independent advisor in 2019. I'm surprisingly well-travelled despite an irrational fear of flying, and my extensive knowledge helps me guide

clients to the perfect destinations throughout the year. As a self-described ‘positive pants', I cherish the client journey and view all returning customers as friends who embark on fantastic trips. Holidays are for everyone, and I recognise the uniqueness of each individual. Your time is precious, and I am 100% committed to ensuring my clients have the best experiences. My top priority is ensuring we're on the same page. While I specialise in arranging family and celebration holidays, honeymoons, cruises, inclusive and accessible travel, I can organise most trips, including corporate travel. You’re not just a number to me, so no matter how big or small the request, I focus on getting it done right, even if it means checking in customers at 23:45 on New Year’s Eve! My values - integrity, respect, reliability, honesty, responsibility and transparency - form the foundation of my service. Let’s chat!

🌍 Sunsets, Stars, and the Magic of Morocco 🌟🐪

Riding a camel into the Sahara at sunset and waking up to a sky brimming with stars – my trip to Morocco was everything I’d dreamed of and so much more. This was more than just a journey; it was a meaningful wish-list experience filled with connection, inspiration, and unforgettable moments.

February is finally here! Lets have a quick recap of January :)

Happy to be here Bisley Farm Shop this morning until 1030 to talk all about holidays.

Lets welcome 2025 and plan some unforgettable holidays together!

Stepping Out of My Comfort Zone ✨ I was truly honoured to be asked to do a reading today at Bisley Church’s beautiful candlelit carol service. I won’t lie—I was absolutely terrified! But the service was so magical, and I’m so glad I said yes. The sound quality isn’t perfect, but I wanted to share this moment as a little reminder: stepping out of your comfort zone, though scary, is so often incredibly rewarding. It’s the same with travel—pushing past your fears can lead to some of the most unforgettable memories. Flis x

Next Morocco Installment This one’s a little longer, but trust me—it’s worth it! Picture this: a thrilling 4x4 drive across the vast Sahara, weaving through golden dunes to meet the camels. Then, a peaceful camel ride takes you deeper into the desert to Camp Madu, where the magic begins. Under a blanket of stars, the stillness of the desert is all-encompassing. Comfortable beds await in this serene haven, surrounded by breathtaking landscapes. And when morning breaks, the stytunning sunrise over the dunes is a sight I will never forget. What an unforgettable 24 hours in the Sahara! Camp Madu truly is a slice of paradise in the desert. Fancy a slice of this? Contact me for more information!

🌍✨ Next Instalment of My Moroccan Adventure! ✨🌍 Picking up from where we left off... Our overnight stay at the stunning Kasbah Titrit was nothing short of magical. 🌟 From the glorious views to the incredible architecture, and not forgetting the warm hospitality—it was an absolute dream. 🏰💛 The adventure didn’t stop there! The next day, we continued our journey towards the Sahara Desert, making a memorable stop at the breathtaking Todra Gorge. 🌄 A lovely walk through its towering canyon walls followed by a delicious lunch made it the perfect pit stop. 🍴🥾 The desert awaits in the next chapter—stay tuned for the highlights! 🐪✨ Have you stayed in a kasbah or visited Todra Gorge? Share your experiences in the comments—I’d love to hear! #MoroccanAdventure #SaharaJourney #TodraGorge #KasbahTitrit #travelinspired @kasbahtitrit , @notintheguidebooks , @mintyhighway

🌍✨ Last Week’s Moroccan Adventure! ✨🌍 Last week, I stepped out of my comfort zone and into the vibrant world of Morocco—a destination that had always been on my bucket list. 🧡 From wandering the bustling souks of Marrakech to gazing in awe at the majestic Atlas Mountains, every moment was an adventure! 🎥 Check out my video for a quick roundup of my first 24 hours in this incredible country! We explored Marrakech’s buzzing streets, journeyed high into the breathtaking Atlas Mountains, and visited the iconic Aït Ben Haddou, a stunning location that has starred in countless films. 🌄🎬 But that’s just the beginning! Catch up tomorrow as I share the highlights from my next 24 hours—there’s so much more to come. 📲 What do you think of Morocco so far?
