Specialising in luxury honeymoons, bucket list travels, cruises, and long-haul trips, creating a bespoke and personalised service for my clients. I am extremely fortunate that I have had the opportunity to travel all over the world. Even after 16 years of working in the travel industry, and having visited over 50 countries, I am still searching for new and exciting experiences. Two expedition cruises, one to the Galapagos and the other to the Arctic just blew me away, these are ideal trips for anyone looking to get off the beaten path, after all it isn't too often you get to spot polar bears in their natural habitat! Some of my top experiences include taking the iconic Rocky Mountaineer train through the Canadian Rockies, staying in an over-water villa in the Maldives, swimming with wild dolphins in New Zealand and spending a night under the stars onboard a yacht in Thailand. An African safari is also high up on my most memorable trips although I am recently back from Sri Lanka and I have to say that was just an incredible destination. Being a personal Travel Counsellor allows me to use my passion for travel to create unique and amazing trips, whether this is a once in a lifetime dream, a luxury honeymoon, a family holiday, or cruise vacation that you will remember for years to come.
I appreciate that your time away is incredibly valuable, and I know that that with my extensive knowledge and great supplier relationships worldwide, I can ensure your holiday is truly special and unique. Working with Travel Counsellors allows me to offer the highest level of personalised service which I believe is an important part of getting you the perfect trip. My aim is to make planning your trip as enjoyable and stress free as possible, as well as giving you complete piece of mind - we are fully licensed and bonded, so your money is safe. During the pandemic I worked hard on behalf of all of my clients to ensure they were looked after and issued with full refunds or for those that preferred a new trip to look forward to.
It can be hard to find time to sit down and plan a holiday so I am available for a one-to-one service at a time and location convenient to you, including evenings and weekends, either in person, over the phone or even a zoom video call. If you are stuck for any inspiration or just want to talk through a few ideas about turning them into a reality I’d love to have a chat with you, please feel free to give me a call or drop me an email.

Sarah was absolutely amazing from the first day we contacted her! We got recommended Sarah from a friend. Sarah made everything so easy for us and planned our dream honeymoon! While away unfortunately our cruise got cancelled but Sarah was amazing, she told us to go to bed and not worry that she would have something planned for us when we woke! And true to her word we flew to Cancun when we woke! She made everything so enjoyable! She was always there at the end of the phone for us with any questions or queries we had! Exceptional professionalism from start to finish and followed up with us when we came home! Could not recommend Sarah enough, we cannot wait to book another holiday with her again in the near future!

Sarah Appleton is nothing short of extraordinary – she is truly our secret weapon for the most incredible holidays! We cannot recommend her highly enough. Over the years, we’ve booked multiple holidays with Sarah, and each one has been nothing less than exceptional. Every trip is better than the last, and they always turn out to be the most unforgettable experiences. Sarah takes all the stress out of planning, expertly managing flights, accommodations, and crafting the perfect itineraries that ensure you see and experience the absolute best of each destination. For our current trip – the biggest one we've ever planned – we know there’s no way it would be happening without Sarah’s expert guidance. She’s kept everything on track and made the entire process seamless. All we have to do is approve her flawless choices, and it’s done. As busy professionals who also travel for work, coordinating everything ourselves would be overwhelming, which is exactly why Sarah is our go-to. She’s always ahead of the game, she understands our needs, and she makes everything easy and enjoyable. Simply put, Sarah is the reason we have the most amazing holidays, every single time. One call to Sarah and she’s on it, and she ‘gets’ us!!

Sarah has booked holidays for us before, and I knew I was in good hands for our Summer 2024 plans. Why do I love dealing with Sarah? Why do I keep going back to her? Well quite simply because she makes it easy for me. I tell her where I would like to go, what I want to do, the type of accommodation I like, the airlines I prefer, and she comes back to me a couple of days later with the plan. It is sooooo easy. And because the hotels are coming through from Sarah, I know that they will be good. This year we had 3 x nights in NYC, 5 x nights in Orlando and 6 nights in St Augustine. We had a really wonderful time. Sarah was attentive right up to the day we departed. Everything worked as planned. Our car hire was perfect, and we didn't need to worry about a thing. If you (like me) worry about hotels, and spend hours checking out different hotels, and still being worried having checked Trip Advisor and the booking sites, then give that all up, and outsource to Sarah. It’s not any more expensive. Sarah has all the tricks of the trade and gets good deals, good hotels, and even good seats on planes. I highly recommend Sarah Appleton.

I want to take the time to compliment you on the fantastic service you provided to me and my family. We had such a great experience from our very first interaction to the lovely postcard when we returned back to Ireland. Sarah - you provided the best user experience I have ever had with a travel company. You guided me but didn't force me to do anything I wasn't comfortable with. You reassured me re the standard of hotels before and after our cruise. You didn't give out - when I switched ships mid way through our planning. You checked and double checked everything for us. Tickets arrived when they should - everything was 100% complete. For many years I was planning my own trips - and it is so time consuming and stressful - and it doesn't always work either.

I’ve already recommended Sarah Appleton to my friends because she is absolutely amazing, incredibly patient and very thorough. Booking our holiday was incredibly easy with Sarah.

I absolutely live and breathe travel and I love to write about my experiences! Please take a look through my posts - you might find your own holiday inspiration.
Having travelled around a lot of Asia already, Sri Lanka has been high on my list for the last few years. A location that has so much to explore, from the cultural triangle with its myriad of UNESCO World Heritage sites, travelling up into the misty, and much cooler, mountain trail through the tea plantations, amazing scenery, iconic train journeys and wildlife experiences like free roaming elepha
Did you know, St Lucia is the only country in the world named after a (human) woman? Ireland is the only other state named after a female but this is the Celtic goddess of Fertility Eire, so there you have it! Speak to any St Lucian and they are incredibly proud of their lovely island and its namesake.
You would be forgiven for thinking you had stepped into one of the sets of Jurassic Park with
Turning 40 in style, well not me just yet, but my friend certainly planned to be when I was tasked with organising a fabulous birthday get together abroad. Post pandemic and having missed several years of celebrations it was the perfect reason to get a group of his nearest and dearest together to celebrate. A lot of special considerations went in to picking this villa, but ultimately this one won
The Land of Smiles, where visitors are very often surprised by the ability of Thai people to smile through virtually every situation, and visiting Thailand coming out of the pandemic this couldn't be more evident. The Thai people are very welcoming and despite the difficult government procedures in place at the time of travelling, those working in hospitality on the ground made sure it was as hass
The stunning scenery in Iceland makes for a fantastic break no matter what time of year. I ventured over in November to explore their winter activities, and it certainly didn’t disappoint.
A big highlight of my trip was a Full Circle day tour. Our adventure began being picked up from the hotel in a monster super jeep, we headed out in style through Iceland’s stunning natural scenery; Gullfoss W
For those who have visited South Africa before you will know how amazingly hospitable it is. Offering great restaurants showcasing superb local food and wine, a wide variety of activity and adventure, as well as spectacular scenery, wildlife galore and a beautiful range of accommodation. For something a little different on your South Africa trip, you should consider taking time out to visit Kwazul
I love being out on the water and so I knew one of the highlights of Vietnam for me would be going out to the UNESCO world heritage site, Halong Bay. I always prefer authentic experiences and it was important to me that we would take the less beaten path, so we took a boat for two nights also taking in Lan Ha Bay.
Our 4* junk ship did not disappoint, complete luxury from the minute we stepped
Travelling in style on the BA Dreamliner in Club Class I settle back to enjoy a glass of champagne and the amazing space of both the cabin and the seating - of course I must take advantage of both the three-course a la carte menu and the fully lie flat beds too, before landing into snowy Calgary.
The gateway to the Rockies we don’t stay long but as we say, ‘we are here for a good time not a lo
I hadn’t really planned on climbing Mount Kinabalu when I first intended to go to Borneo, however all the tours I liked seemed to have it included so off I went. I am so glad I did, well maybe I had a few doubts as I was doing the climb, but the sense of achievement, the camaraderie along the way and the spectacular views made it all worthwhile. It’s only a two-day trek but it’s incredibly tough.
Having been to the areas of Cancun/Playa Del Carmen three times now I have managed to stay in a variety of hotels and undertake a range of activities, and I would still go back again!
Where to start? There are some fabulous resorts here, great service, delicious food, white sand beaches and tropical weather, what’s not to love?! The all-inclusive resorts really do cater for everyone, and I fin
I was so excited for this trip to Norway. I have been on expedition cruises before and knew this was going to offer a truly special experience, outstanding natural beauty, wildlife spotting and a chance to see the Northern Lights!
We started the trip arriving in Bergen, a city surrounded by stunning mountains and fjords, for a one-night pre-cruise stay. Colourful wooden houses line the Old Wharf
Arriving in Baltra was quite simply one of the most exciting feelings, almost like I had landed on another planet. The land is so barren and vast, a mixture of black volcanic rock, red dust and occasional cactus, with one solemn airport hangar in view.
We were all buzzing with excitement and great anticipation of the trip that was to come, as this is typically a bucket list type destination. A
I am often asked ‘where do people usually go on honeymoon?’, but I believe that a honeymoon is built on the wanderlust of going to somewhere together and bringing together your personal interests to make the perfect trip for you.
Honeymoons are all so different, there are no set rules, this is the time to go somewhere that’s incredible and memorable to you! For some, there is nothing better th
South Africa is one of my top recommendations everyone should visit. Starting with Cape Town, this city really does have it all; a cosmopolitan city scene, combined with beautiful beaches, abundance of local wildlife, wineries, amazing local landscapes, and for the most part fantastic weather to enjoy it all in.
Even when the weather is cooler in the winter months there is plenty to keep you o
Maldives has been on my list of places to visit for as long as I can remember, the white sand beaches and the idyllic crystal-clear waters, with incredible marine life, topped off by staying in an overwater bungalow, paradise! There are only several places in the world where it is possible to stay in an over-water villa, and my Maldives trip certainly lived up to my expectations!
After landing
Having lived in Canada in my early twenties for a year, I have a real fondness for the country, the people, the landscapes and the outdoor activities. Whether it be hiking and kayaking through the Rockies during the summer, or skiing one if its magnificent peaks in the winter (I highly recommend Whistler and Mount Tremblant for winter sports).
My most recent visit saw me flying in to Vancouv
Prior to this trip I was a little oblivious to this whole world of wonder and just exactly what would make this trip so spectacular, after all there isn’t even a detailed itinerary to go with a trip attempting to circumnavigate around Svalbard!
The very fact that there isn’t a set itinerary makes you realise how special going to the Arctic really is. Nothing is guaranteed, not the weather, nor
Thailand is one of my favourite holiday destinations. It has so much going for it, great weather, idyllic beaches, amazing people, delicious food, a variety of shopping - including plenty of markets, diverse wildlife, plenty of culture, fantastic spas, and nightlife should you want it!
My latest trip saw us stopping off in Bangkok for a few nights; a real love it or hate it city. Personally, I
