Sam Soulsby - Travel Counsellor

Sam Soulsby - Travel Counsellor A Travel Consultant with over 19 years experience in the industry. I tailor-make bespoke holidays an Your investment is 100% safe.

Being a Travel Consultant isn’t just my job, it is my absolute passion! I have always been intrigued by exploring new destinations and sampling different cultures and have been fortunate enough to experience some amazing trips. I therefore appreciate first-hand how important it is to make memories that last a lifetime. After obtaining my degree in International Tourism Management at Leeds, I took a gap year to embark on a world trip. Travelling through Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and America gave me a wealth of first-hand knowledge. Soon after my return, I joined Trailfinders, an award-winning travel company in order to continue to indulge my love of travel. I was then fortunate enough to tick many more destinations off my bucket list, with highlights being visits to Iguassu Falls in Brazil, the Taj Mahal in India and viewing the Big 5 in South Africa. I spent 9 years working as a Tailor-made Travel Consultant and Supervisor. My expertise lies in First & Business travel although I’m more than happy to arrange any type of trip. What I love most about working for Travel Counsellors is that I am able to take time to truly get to know you on a personal level and understand exactly what your requirements are. I can then tailor-make a unique and bespoke itinerary especially for you. Booking a holiday is a very personal (and I believe exciting) experience so it’s imperative to get it right! As an independent agent, I have the freedom and flexibility to find you the perfect holiday match as well as offer you impartial advice along the way. I have no ties or loyalties with specific suppliers – my loyalties lie firmly with you. I work from my home office in Beeston so have the time and flexibility to devote to you, whatever time of the day you need it. As a busy working mum of 3 young children myself, I fully understand that standard office hours are not always convenient! Please also be assured that all arrangements made through myself and Travel Counsellors are fully financially protected through the Travel Counsellors Trust and we are ATOL bonded. What’s more, as a Worldwide company we have 24/7 duty office support. No matter what time it is, or where you are in the world, we are here to help. So whether it’s a luxurious Safari in South Africa, a motorhome self-drive through New Zealand, a cruise around the Mediterranean, or even a simple (yet much needed) family beach holiday, please get in touch. I would love to help you plan your next adventure!

🌍✈️ Happy National Travel Agent Day! ✈️🌍

Today is all about celebrating the people who turn “I’d love to go there one day” into “I can’t believe we’re actually here!”

From finding those special hotels and hidden gems, to taking the stress out of all the little details, I absolutely love helping my clients create holidays they’ll remember for years to come.

A huge thank you to every client who trusts me with their precious holiday time — and to all the amazing people in the travel industry who make the magic happen behind the scenes.

Here’s to more adventures, more memories and plenty more passports being stamped! 🌎✨

Happy National Travel Agent Day! 💙

48 hours in Bangkok with the kids 🇹🇭✨

We only had 48 hours in Bangkok, so our aim was to give the kids a proper taste of this incredible city — a mix of culture, food, markets, river life and a few of the things they’d spotted all over TikTok!

Here’s what we managed to squeeze in ....

🛕 Wat Pho – one of Bangkok’s most famous temples and home to the enormous Reclining Buddha.

🚤 Chao Phraya River – we hopped on and off the public boat, which was such an easy (and fun!) way to see the city from the water.

🌶️ Street food – plenty of sampling along the way… because you can’t visit Bangkok without trying the street food!

🍜 7-Eleven viral food tasting – tried many of the Thai 7-Eleven foods that have taken over TikTok. If you know, you know! 😂🇹🇭

🍽️ Dinner at Asiatique – we finished one evening with dinner on a boat at Asiatique, amazing Thai tapas with the city lit up around us.

🛍️ Chatuchak Market – a wander around the world’s largest weekend market. It’s HUGE, so we only managed a bit before we went back to the hotel pool.

🚇 MRT – we embraced Bangkok’s high-speed, air-conditioned MRT to escape the heat and get around the city quickly.

🛒 The TikTok-famous squishy mall – naturally, we had to find it for Charlie!

🛺 Tuk tuk ride – a slightly crazy, noisy and chaotic ride through the streets of Bangkok… exactly what the kids wanted!

🍸 Octave Rooftop Bar – cocktails at sunset with incredible views across Bangkok. Definitely one of my favourite moments.

🏊‍♀️ And some downtime! We stayed at the fabulous Chatrium Riverside Bangkok, which meant we could retreat to the pool, cool off and escape the madness of the city whenever we needed to.

And that’s the thing I loved most about doing Bangkok as a family — you can pack so much into just 48 hours, but you also need somewhere lovely to come back to and switch off.

It was as busy, hot, noisy, and completely bonkers as I remembered it to be ...… but we all absolutely loved it ❤️

Would I recommend Bangkok with children? Absolutely. Just embrace the chaos and don’t try to do everything! 😍

✨ My out of office is officially on! ✈️

We're heading off on our family adventure to Thailand, and I can't wait to show the kids everything this incredible country has to offer.

For any clients who are currently away or travelling over the next couple of weeks, you will have been given contact details for my lovely colleague who is looking after my business. As always, our 24/7 Duty Office is available as well should you need any urgent assistance. All contact details can be found on your booking documents.

This trip has been a long time in the planning and I can’t wait to share the journey with you…

Bangkok ➡️ Koh Samui ➡️ Elephant Hills ➡️ Khao Lak

I'll be back at my desk on 17th August, refreshed, inspired, and ready to help you plan your next unforgettable adventure.

This is why I absolutely love what I do ❤️✈️

There is nothing more amazing than receiving feedback like this from a client who truly understands the value of having someone personally invested in creating their perfect trip.

Yes, I can arrange flights, hotels and experiences… but the real magic is in the details. It’s knowing my clients, understanding what matters to them, taking away the stress, sharing my knowledge and experience, and being there every step of the way — before, during and after their holiday.

I feel so lucky to have the most fabulous clients who trust me with their precious holiday memories.

Thank you for taking the time to share such kind words — it means more than you know.

This is exactly why I love being a Travel Counsellor ❤️🌎

🌴 Holiday Notice 🌴

Just a little heads up that I'll be heading off on my own holiday in less than two weeks.

While I'm away, any clients who are travelling or need urgent assistance will be well looked after by a trusted colleague, so you can still travel with complete peace of mind.

If you've been thinking about booking your next holiday, now is the perfect time to get in touch. I'd love to get everything researched, booked and organised for you before I head away, so you have one less thing to think about!

If you're happy to wait, I'll be back from mid-August and ready to help with all your holiday plans then.

When one of my best clients got in touch looking for a last-minute July holiday, I was thinking a city break... or maybe a fly-and-flop beach escape.

Nope... she had her heart set on an Arctic expedition cruise! ❄️🚢

Today I'm sending out their travel documents as they get ready to fly to Copenhagen before continuing to Longyearbyen, where they'll embark on a luxury Arctic expedition with Swan Hellenic.

They're about to experience breathtaking glaciers, dramatic fjords, incredible wildlife and one of the most remote and awe-inspiring regions on Earth.

I can't wait to follow their journey!

If your dream holiday is a little different from the norm, I'd love to help make it happen.

Another exciting set of travel documents heading out today! ✈️

This was a fantastic last-minute, tailor-made family adventure to Switzerland for clients who wanted something completely different from the usual beach fly-and-flop holiday.

Their journey includes three incredible destinations:

🏔️ Lucerne
🚞 Wengen
🌊 Montreux

We've taken care of everything, including flights, a Swiss Rail Pass, beautiful hotels, and a fantastic mix of activities to keep the whole family entertained.

If you've got teenagers and you're looking for a holiday that's packed with adventure, breathtaking scenery, and unforgettable experiences, Switzerland is hard to beat. From mountain railways and crystal-clear lakes to charming alpine villages, this is the kind of trip that creates lifelong memories.

If you're thinking outside the box for your next adventure, I'd love to help you create something special.
