Open during evenings and weekends, Sara is on hand to help busy families, couples and solo travellers plan their dream getaways – all with the personal touch you won't find online.

Sara, who has lived in Alsager for over 10 years and is excited to serve the town she calls home. "Alsager is such a supportive, friendly place," she said.

"I feel so lucky to be able to build a business here and help local people create amazing memories through travel."

She added: "On a recent trip to Thailand, my daughter kept saying, 'this is amazing- and it really hit me how powerful travel is for making lasting memories.

"That's what I love about my job – I get to help others experience that same magic."

As part of her launch, Sara has set up community-focused Facebook page here and Instagram page here where locals can find travel inspiration, tips, and even see where their friends and neighbours have been jetting off to!

Sara added: "People love talking about holidays, and there's something special about seeing where someone you know has been. That's what my pages are all about – local inspiration, not just faceless online reviews."

Sara works under the trusted Travel Counsellors brand – a global travel company known for its award-winning customer service and 5-star Trustpilot rating. She specialises in family holidays, honeymoons, city breaks, cruises, group trips, and more.
