AI seems to be taking over the world… 🌎
BUT it will never replace genuine human interaction 🫱🏽🫲🏻
…because when your flight gets cancelled or there’s a problem with your hotel, who wants to speak to a robot with no compassion?
In the words of two inspirational role models:
“As more and more of us will talk to machines going forward through artificial intelligence, being human is gonna be incredible.” — Mo Gawdat
“Experiences and human connection remain intangible, so it is vital to keep the human in the loop.” — Sir Richard Branson
Interpersonal skills (such as caring, knowledge and compassion) are needed and valued MORE THAN EVER.

Yesterday the culmination of an idea that was formed back at Easter came to fruition.
Blood, sweat and tears went in to planning this event, the first I’ve ever planned, and it was great. Over 30 clients in a room learning all about Regent Seven Seas Cruises.
Very proud of what we achieved, everyone enjoyed it and it was a great success!
Big thanks to everyone that joined us, the team at Boringdon Hall Hotel, Georgia Lewis (who was amazing!) from Regent Seven Seas Cruises and My partner in crime Tess Stuber - Travel Counsellor
We did it! Let us know in the comments who you’d like us to bring to Plymouth next - we are open to ideas.

Every now and then, I get messages from new clients who love what I do but wonder if they should book their travel themselves to save money. They’re often unsure of the best choice, so I thought I’d share my thoughts on the subject.
Of course, it’s always your decision. You can book however you prefer—no judgment here. But here’s my take.
I’ve been in this industry for 34 years. This isn’t a side hustle; it’s my full-time career. As a self-employed travel expert, I get to travel a LOT, giving me firsthand knowledge and insight that can help you plan unforgettable trips, with all the insider tips that only come from actually experiencing a destination.
At TC, we have strong relationships with incredible suppliers, and we are highly respected in the industry. A booking made through me is given far more attention and care than one made on an anonymous online platform. That’s just the reality.
I genuinely care about your trip. I want each journey to be exceptional. By working closely with my clients, I’m able to offer a personalised touch and elevate your travel experience, sharing those hidden gems and extra details you might not find on your own. It’s all about building a relationship and getting to know you. That kind of personal service just doesn’t come from booking online.
The majority of my business now comes from referrals, from clients who have experienced the difference I make and appreciate the value I add. In fact, my business has grown by 33% this year thanks to these referrals, which speaks volumes.
From the moment you contact me until you return home, I’m here to take the stress out of travel. And if anything goes wrong, I’m just a message away to step in and fix it. No dealing with a faceless call center. Just a quick WhatsApp or call and I’m ready to help—even when you’re far from home.
So, before you decide to book online because it might save a few £££’s, consider everything I bring to the table. I know my
I’ve just come back from our Doha Gold TC conference to some amazing news!
I’m so proud to be part of the Travel Counsellors family and beyond excited to share that we’ve just reached an incredible milestone—£1 billion in sales! This achievement wouldn’t have been possible without amazing clients like you. Thank you for trusting me, and my fellow Travel Counsellors, with your holiday plans. I’m truly grateful for the relationship we’ve built and take great pride in ensuring your travel needs are always in the best hands. Thanks a billion!
