It's Nice To Meet You
I have been a Travel Agent now for over 18 years and loved every minute, starting my journey in a High Street agency, I then moved to Homeworking 8 years ago and now am lucky enough to be a Travel Counsellor.
Travel Counsellors are a totally independent company, with 100% financial protection and 24/7 care from inquiring, booking and travelling on your holiday. I take all the pressure out of the process, helping and guiding you through what can sometimes be a super stressful time.
I have been really lucky in my life so far, growing up in New Zealand I got to explore both New Zealand and Australia extensively. Returning to the UK I met my husband and went on to have two amazing children. We carried on travelling at every opportunity as both a family and a couple, exploring many many countries, including through Africa, Europe and the Caribbean.
With my vast travel experience I will help you decide on the perfect destination, along with flights, hotels, transfers, car hire, lounges, airport parking or even a tour of that bucket list destination, making those dreams really come true.

Whatever your holiday needs I'm here to help you, so simply give me a call or send me an email with your contact details on and I can get things started for you:

Kathryn is our preferred travel consultant. She was with us every step of the way in our recent trip to China and was the only choice for our next trip to Asia. She is patient, attentive to customer needs and caring. Highly recommended.

Kathryn planned our holiday to be a holiday of a lifetime. It was seamless, with all logistics meticulously organised, allowing us to relax and enjoy our time. Hotel choices were excellent, day excursions fabulous and the guides were very knowledgeable and lovely to spend time with. Kathryn took the hassle of organisation away from me , allowing me to have peace of mind and fun!

Kathryn has been supportive on our long three year wait for our tour of China to finally be allowed. We found her informative, caring and knowledgeable with a personable attitude, keeping us informed all the way and checking with us periodically. Kathryn is very efficient and goes the extra mile to ensure you are happy and we highly recommend her services.

After booking our holiday to China in August 2019, Kathryn was able to get us to China as soon as China reopened for tourists in 2023 . During this period Kathryn kept us fully informed on what was happening rescheduling our holiday a number of times . We found that Kathryn went over and above what she needed to, to get us to China . Kathryn's customer care approach was outstanding . We would not hesitate in recommending Kathryn to anyone looking for a travel specialist
