Before we begin our journey together, here is a little bit of my background:
Prior to becoming a Travel Counsellor, my career to date has been focussed on customer service; the last 12 years of which have been in Dubai.
Originally from the UK, my passion for travel has stemmed from a childhood of living in Nigeria, Bahrain and Singapore which enabled me to experience different cultures and places from a young age. After graduation I worked Ski Seasons in France, Summer Seasons in Greece and Sardinia; taking the opportunity to travel around the respective countries in between. Later on, I took a gap year and undertook a solo round the world trip encompassing Honduras, Guatemala, Ecuador including the Galapagos Islands, Bolivia, Peru (Inca Trail and Machu Pichu), Argentina, Chile, Easter Island (Rapa Nui), Tahiti, New Zealand, Australia, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam.

Since moving to Dubai, I have traveled to Oman, Georgia, Jordan, South Africa, Maldives, Mauritius and New York. One thing is for sure, the list of places to visit never gets any shorter!

‘Travelling, it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller’ – Ibn Battuta, I am here to help you make your own stories.

Please don’t hesitate to call or email me with your queries and ideas, I am really looking forward to hearing from you!

Amazing Mauritius

06 July 2019

My husband and I went to Mauritius for 7 nights in July 2019, our holiday was based around kite-surfing as during the winter months the south west corner of the island, Le Morne, is world famous for its wind and its Lagoon. A perfect spot to either hone your skills (my husband) or like me, to learn. We stayed at the 4*star all-inclusive Riu hotel as it is situated a few minutes’ walk along the beach to the kite surf center. The hotel offers both adult only and family options with numerous daily activities, evening entertainment, spa and themed restaurants to enjoy....

Pleasing Tbilisi

22 February 2019

My husband arranged for us to go to Tbilisi for our wedding anniversary over 4 nights, it is a 3.5-hour flight from Dubai, with no time difference to factor in and visa on arrival making it a very accessible destination for a city break. We stayed at the 4*star Courtyard by Marriott centrally located on Freedom Square and within walking distance of the Old City and many of Tbilisi’s attractions including the Georgian National Museum, Rustaveli Theatre and the State Opera House. Our first experience of Tbilisi was a rookie error – the taxi ride from the airport to the hotel, we...

My customer stories

Joanna did a marvelous job in putting together a great itinery for a holiday in Italy I was so impressed at the speed, attention to detail and itinery she produced

Joanna was absolutely amazing. She asked all the right questions , addresses all my concerns and helped me so much. She was quick to respond and followed up all the way. I would totally recommend her for any travel advice and booking that fabulous trip you have always thought of doing.

Got a recommendation on here to use Travel Counsellor Joanna Spruce. She literally put together a total holiday package with flights, hotel accommodation, transfers to & from airport, travel insurance with different options for 4 or 5 nights. This would have taken me endless nights of scrolling on my iPad which she did in a matter of a few hours. Unfortunately due to ill health the holiday has been postponed but I would definitely use her again as the time and hassle she saved me was invaluable. She’s also added me to her mailing list with great special offers which travel agents get for getaway deals here in the UAE.

Thank you Joanna for all your help, support and insights regarding our trip to South Africa. Your professionalism, enthusiasm and timely updates has been fantastic. Very impressive service.
