Who am I and How I Can Help You
There isn't much to say except I am a forty something northern lass, that has spent the last twenty odd years traveling around the world, I will hopefully continue my journeys for many more years.
I am lucky enough to spend my days in Bridgnorth, a quaint little town in the middle of the beautiful rolling hills of Shropshire. I float around and spend time with family in Yorkshire and friends in Warwickshire so some would say I'm never in the same place for too long, this flexible lifestyle allows me the freedom to explore.
My northern nature brings a pretty honest and easy going approach, I care about providing a quality service that comes from a genuine place of wanting to find others that perfect escape.
I am using this space to share my experiences and tell some stories from my adventures and holidays to hopefully inspire more people to see this world. The last few years have been a struggle for a lot of us and the world has become somewhat strange. When transport and knowledge have never been more advanced this world should be easier than ever to explore however technology for some is daunting, just searching the thousands of sites for the ideal get-away is a mission in itself. The thought of tackling airport security or navigating your way to a hotel in a foreign city is just too much, don't worry, Holiday Halo can help.

Ten Reasons Why You Need a Travel Agent
1. We often work out costing you less. We have access to hundreds of suppliers, some of which are trade only that the general public can’t access. We can explore the special offers and save you time as well as money.
2. Our service is free. We earn commission from hotels & suppliers. We don't charge for our service, our aim is to find the perfect holiday and the right price to suit your budget.
3. We are convenient. We will save you the time & hassle of researching & finding the right holiday. We also save you the stress of making sure that you have done everything right.
4. We are knowledgable & experienced. Travel suppliers & hotel brands offer excellent training to Independent Travel Agents, so that we can sell their hotels & packages in the best way. We know the best time of year to visit places, what the best hotels have to offer their guests, what visas are required, we can suggest things to do & so more much than an online booking site wouldn’t provide.
5. We provide a personalised service. We can build an entire itinerary for you and your holiday. The airport parking, airport lounges, flights, transfers or car hire, accommodation, excursions, tours & days out, we can even organise your restaurant reservations.
6. We are your friendly advocate & point of contact. 'Touch wood' nothing goes wrong but if it ever does we are on the other end of the phone to assist you. You won’t get stuck on an automated telephone system, on hold for ages trying to get through to a human. If you have any issues or concerns, we can help get your holiday back on track.
7. We are resourceful. We have access to special tours & excursions that the general public cannot access. We have built relationships with hotels & suppliers, to provide the best rooms, best seats or let you know if the hotels offer any extras that you’re entitled to. We are also part of a global industry network, so we have inside info from where the ‘It’ place is to stay, to which supplier is going bust & needs to be avoided.
8. We will go that extra mile. We genuinely want your holiday to be perfect, of course we can't promise but we can request room upgrades & are much more likely to get them for you, than if you asked yourself. Celebrating a special occasion? let us call ahead and plan a bottle of fizz to be waiting for you.
9. We have more protection for your holiday. You’ll be surprised to hear that many of the big booking sites, do not have all the protection available. ATOL gives you the customer financial & legal protection when booking a package holiday. ABTA means that the travel agent is bound by a code of conduct as per the ABTA guidelines.
10. We are a great way to support a small businesses. Not only do the big booking sites not need you, they don’t rely on repeat business & so often you are just another number. An independent Travel Agent such as as Holiday Halo rely on forming a great relationship with their clients. We work hard to provide the best service possible so that you will come back to us & recommend us to friends.
