This is going to sound like you've asked me to do this, Karen - you haven't, but I watched your video just now and wanted to say on FB that Travel Matters is fantastic. We have booked lots of holidays with you now, including our amazing honeymoon recently and one to come in the summer to Puglia (Italy). Everything is always to a lovely spec and we have never arrived somewhere and thought its not what we wanted it to be. Well done! This is high praise indeed from me! xx Ps I've got the same Ikea picture of Paris as you have in the office !! More...

Fantastic team of ladies run a local travel agency and really understand what you are looking for in a holiday - they not only appreciate your likes and dislikes but also suggest other possibilities that more often than not work far better - so thanks to Travel Matters for helping us out for now (can't believe it) over 10 yrs.

What do you love most about your job?
travelmatters was Karen’s first baby nineteen years ago. She has always enjoyed organising the perfect family holiday. Since then, she juggles travel and family life, with the arrivals of Alice, aged 16 and Elsie, aged 13. Her experience is wide and varied including taking old people around Europe with Page and Moy, hosting double-decker bus tours with Top Deck travel and running her own tour operating programme in Portugal. She can also be found slipping from English into fluent French, German or Portuguese, often helping in those tricky hotel booking negotiations! The last couple of years she has visited Thailand, South Africa, Mexico, Cyprus, France, Eygpt and five Caribbean islands.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Travel Matters is a multi award winning independent travel agency in South West London, established 19 years. Based in what has been dubbed “Nappy Valley” for having the highest percentage of under-fives in the whole of the UK, the independent travel agency has always specialized in family holidays. The idea of promoting more “ethical ” holidays in our Make Travel Matter section, came from Karen’s passion of travelling and CONNECTING with a community. Here at Travel Matters, we want to make your travel matter, we want the travel experience to be complete with the involvement of learning from the local community. We help you organise a holiday with HEART in it, meeting the people, experiencing their culture, respecting their country and land.
