My Story
Hello, Iโm Sarah and I am a Travel Counsellor based in Coulsdon, Surrey. As a Travel Counsellor I can help you with your travel arrangements anywhere in the world, whatever the occasion, ensuring that your money is protected by the Travel Counsellors Financial Trust and ATOL. I work from home, enabling me to available to chat evenings and weekends if that is more convenient to you. I am
able to book a wide variety of hotels, car hire, cruises, excursions, flights and travel insurance. 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 Africaโs 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 havenโt worked that bit out yet, give me a call so we can chat about your ideas and dreams. Look forward to hearing from you.

Graceland, the Grand Ole Opry, New Orleansโ French Quarterโฆ These iconic sites are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the extraordinary musical heritage of the Deep South. This region isn't merely a treasure trove of history; it's alive with rhythm and energy, offering an unparalleled musical experience. Whether you're swaying to the soulful blues, tapping your feet to jazz, feeling the country twang, or getting lost in the lively sounds of Cajun accordions and riverboat calliopes, the Deep South dances to its own unique beat. It invites you to join in the fun, where every note played and every song sung adds to the rich legacy of an area that truly pulses with life and creativity.

The Seychelles is one of the world's most breathtaking tropical island paradises, consisting of 115 islands in the Indian Ocean stretching across the equator. This enchanting archipelago features a stunning blend of inner granite islands, such as Mahรฉ, Praslin, and La Digue, alongside the unique outer islands, including Aldabra, which represent the tips of ancient coral reefs (think coral atolls like the Maldives).
While the beaches here are nothing short of sensational, this remarkable destination offers far more than sun and sand; it is a haven for adventure seekers and nature lovers alike.
I loved this destination so much on a hotel visiting educational work trip that I went back later the same year to explore more islands!
Get in touch to plan and book your trip to paradise.
