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?
(25)

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!

✨ Proud moment! ✨ Earlier this year, I pledged to donate money for every passenger booked, to support my incredible neighbour, Lizzie Morris, as she takes on a once-in-a-lifetime challenge for breast cancer awareness. As many of you know, my mum is a breast cancer survivor, and supporting this cause is close to my heart. 💖

Fast forward nine months, and Lizzie is about to jet off to the Himalayas on an epic trek for CoppaFeel!, a charity making a huge difference in the fight against breast cancer! 🏔️💪
If you'd like to show Lizzie some love and contribute to this amazing cause, you can donate here:

"I’ve had the privilege of working with Jo and Katherine over the years, ensuring their travel experiences are not only memorable but fully accessible.

After a wonderful previous cruise, they set sail again with Celebrity, this time aboard the stunning Apex on an 11-night Scandinavian voyage.

Always keen to share their feedback, their inspiring journey highlights the importance of thoughtful ship design, onboard accessibility features, and the professionalism of the crew.

It’s the personal touches and knowing their needs inside out that make all the difference - and it’s always my goal to ensure everything is perfectly tailored.

Here’s their fabulous review …

I'm delighted to have had the privilege of crafting Jo and Katherine's travel journeys over the years, always with accessibility at the heart of the experience. Following the success of their previous cruise to Amsterdam and Bruges with Celebrity, they set sail once again with Celebrity, this time a...

🌸 Wear It Pink Day 🌸

Today, I’m proudly wearing pink in support of all those affected by breast cancer, especially my amazing mum, a true survivor and my biggest cheerleader! 🎀💖 Her strength and courage inspire me every single day. She’s also the reason behind the colour of my brand—her journey inspired me to choose a colour that represents strength, love, and hope. 🌸

Taking time away is so important for both your physical and mental health! Whether it's a beach escape or a quiet countryside retreat, a holiday can help you recharge, reduce stress, and create lifelong memories with loved ones. 🌍✈️

Let’s raise awareness, support life-saving research, and celebrate the fighters, survivors, and the healing power of a well-deserved break! 💪💕

On World Mental Health Day, I’d like to share why taking a rest and a well-deserved holiday is so important.
It reduces stress, strengthens relationships with loved ones, boosts productivity, and improves mental clarity.

This is why I love being in this industry. It’s not just about the sun, sea, and beach—it’s about helping people recharge and truly take care of their mental well-being!

Such a great day yesterday Bristol Marriott Royal Hotel with Travel Counsellors. Lots of great ideas on how I can make the world of booking holidays and travelling even easier along with some great supplier stands that we had chance to connect with. A huge thank you to Virgin Voyages, Club Med, Simpson Travel, Hurtigruten, Hummingbird, DoSomethingDifferent.com, Solmar Villas and Encounter Latin America for your support and information! Another thanks to Destination Vancouver, SouthernWorld Vacations, Aruba Tourism Authority UK and Atrium Hotels & Resorts for giving us great location information.

This week is Deaf Awareness Week, which aims to bring to light the barriers that people who are Deaf and those with hearing loss, face in society. As I am learning sign language, I was an eager beaver in signing up to an online meeting with Paul Whittaker, OBE - along side my fellow Travel Counsellors. What fun we had! Paul gave us some facts and figures and engaged us in learning how to sign one of my favourite songs. I have a few wonderful deaf clients, and I offer Zoom calls where the environment is just right for you to be able to read my lips. If you prefer we can talk via email or text. The world is there for everyone to explore, my job is to simply make it easier. #DeafAwarenessWeek #deafawareness

My Story

Hello!

For as long as I remember I have always had a passion for travel. From walking into my first kids club to finding my dream job, straight out of work experience in a travel agency.

From the age of 15 I have built up over 20 years experience, travelling the globe and working for some of the most well known tour operators in the industry.

I feel that times have now changed, people’s lives have got busier and the expectations are higher. This is what has led me to Holidaysplease.

The choices available on the market are staggering and can be overwhelming and time consuming. Here is where I step in!

I plan to use all of my experience to make your holiday journey easy and hassle free, leaving you with just one job.... to enjoy your time making life lasting memories.

I pride myself on customer service and want to make sure every element of your trip is right, that is why my working hours are flexible, allowing you to contact me to answer your questions as they pop into your head day or night. There is no such thing as a silly question, I want to make sure every detail is covered with you and we create the perfect trip together. You can count on me to give you an honest and experienced answer.

Being truly independent, with a diverse choice of suppliers to hand, I can help turn your travel dreams into reality and find that unique trip that is right for you. Your holidays will be fully ATOL and ABTA protected and you have the added bonus of knowing that Holidaysplease is voted Best Online Travel Agency 2019 and scores 9.9 out of 10 on Trust Pilot. Regardless of what you are looking for, from a weekend break in Cornwall, to touring Sri Lanka, relaxing on a Caribbean Beach, to exploring the Baltics on a cruise, every customer is valued. I can help you explore new places or rediscover firm favourites.... the choice is yours.

Life is a journey, contact me to discuss where your travels will take you next.
