I’m Claire Ahluwalia, your personal Travel Counsellor, and I’m so glad you’ve found my page.

Travel has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. In my younger years I loved solo adventures, when the world felt like my oyster and I could hop from city to city, discovering new places on my own terms. For the past 15 years, life has looked a little different as a family of five, and we have travelled extensively together. We holiday several times a year, so I understand exactly what it takes to keep both little ones and teens happy, and how important it is to make every trip count.

I live in Dubai and feel very lucky to have sunshine, pools and the beach right on my doorstep, but I also spent four years living in Saudi Arabia, which really deepened my love for the Middle East. As much as I adore warm weather, my favourite trips are actually winter breaks: wrapping up in a cosy coat, wandering the streets of a new city and warming my hands on a hot chocolate is my idea of heaven.

I decided to turn my passion for travel into a career because I truly love helping others create those special memories that last a lifetime. I enjoy getting to know my customers, understanding what makes them tick and then finding the perfect holiday to match. Whether it is a luxury beach escape, a family adventure, an exciting city break, a ski trip, a cruise or corporate travel, I take real care over the finer details.

When you book with me, you can expect incredible attention to detail, honest advice and friendly, personal service. You will also have the reassurance of booking with Travel Counsellors: financial protection, 24/7 support from our Duty Office and the convenience of the myTC app, giving you peace of mind from the moment we start planning until you arrive back home.

If you are starting to think about your next trip, I would love to chat and begin creating a bespoke holiday that feels just right for you.
