Kate Matthews - Travel Counsellor Specialist in Luxury Tailormade Holidays & Honeymoons. Every detail of your travel plans are personally handled. What a Christmas!

My name is Kate and I’m your local Travel Counsellor based here in Forest Hill, South East London. I have lived here for the past 10 years with my husband and two daughters. Having left university with a degree in Business Management and Tourism in 1995 I travelled the world visiting many different countries and gaining many valuable first hand experiences. On my return I started working for a large high street travel agency as a travel consultant where I put together tailor made holidays to Europe, Australia and South East Asia. From there I joined a Croatian tour operator where I became head of sales. I was also very fortunate and regularly made trips to Croatia. I would love to share with you my favourite holiday destinations from my travels however they’re are so many to choose from. I love Thailand for its amazing beaches and laid back approach to life. I love Croatia for the stunning Adriatic coastline and turquoise waters as well as the mixture of architectural styles. I love the Greek Islands for exploring its many hidden beaches and clear blue waters. Oh and I mustn’t forget Lapland with the dancing Northern Lights, husky rides, snowmobile safaris and of course Santa. What I love about being a Travel Counsellor is that I am able to offer you a personal experience that you wouldn’t find anywhere else. As a tailormade specialist I will design for you a unique and bespoke package suited to your individual needs be it for personal or business travel and as I am not tied to office hours, I am happy to discuss your travel plans at a time that suits you. I pride myself on my customer care and will provide you the highest level of customer service at all times. My motto - treat others how you’d like to be treated yourself! So whatever type of holiday you are after; beach, city break, cruise, winter sun, skiing, world trip, sailing holidays, please get in touch. I will source the best possible deal to suit your budget. You can be assured that you are in safe hands when booking with me and being part of Travel Counsellors gives you the added reassurance of being financially protected whilst away

There are so many great reasons to experience certain destinations in the shoulder seasons – that sweet spot between a region’s peak season and off-season. Think fewer crowds and queues for major attractions, better-value flights and other travel, and a more authentic experience of the destination. Here are just a few of our favourite places that can be just as good or even better outside of high season.

September has a way of bringing out a different side to some of the world’s most remarkable places. ✈️

In Santorini, the intensity of summer begins to soften while the Aegean stays beautifully warm. It’s a time for wandering through whitewashed villages, tasting w**es grown in volcanic soil and finding the perfect spot to watch the sun disappear beyond the caldera.

Across Western Australia, spring is transforming the landscape. Native wildflowers bring colour to vast stretches of countryside, while open roads lead towards striking coastlines, welcoming vineyards and the otherworldly limestone formations of the Pinnacles.

Singapore offers a completely different rhythm. Mornings can begin among tropical gardens and characterful neighbourhoods, before giving way to exceptional food, striking architecture and evenings beneath the lights of Marina Bay.

Knowing where to go is only part of the story. Knowing when to visit and how to experience a destination is where the right expertise makes all the difference.

I will shape every detail around you, helping you discover the places, experiences and thoughtful touches that make a trip feel truly yours.
