Hello, I’m Sarah and I am a Travel Counsellor based in Coulsdon, Surrey.

I can make suggestions using my 16 years experience in the travel industry along with my own travel experience to personalise your trip and make it perfect for you. After finishing university I backpacked around South East Asia for 6 months, made the most of a one year working holiday visa in Australia and travelled for 7 months in South America. These experiences are the root of my passion for travel and led me to work in the industry. I went on to work as a travel consultant with a large independent travel agency booking trips all over the world for my clients. I have continued exploring the world, both independently and with organised group tours, sometimes in luxury, sometimes not. I have visited diverse regions, enjoying spectacular scenery, culture and wildlife in over 50 countries so far. My most recent trips have involved some new experiences as I now travel with a small child but we have still managed to see a lot! If you are worried about travelling with a baby give me a call and I can help put your mind at rest! Before turning one, Esme took her first flight to Aberdeen, travelled to Ronda and Malaga in Spain, went on a road trip in Eastern Canada and visited South Africa’s Eastern Cape, Garden Route and Cape Town. The importance of booking your travels through a trusted travel professional like myself has never been clearer. With requirements for travel changing rapidly, I will keep you up to date with what you need to have in place prior to travelling and will always be on hand if you have any queries or concerns. Wherever you are thinking of travelling, or even if you haven’t worked that bit out yet, give me a call so we can chat about your ideas and dreams. Look forward to hearing from you.
