Helen Hopwood
Travel has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to create incredible memories with my own family, from magical trips to Florida, cruising in the Mediterranean and Caribbean, unforgettable city breaks and fabulous road trips. These journeys have given me first hand destination knowledge that I love sharing with my clients to help bring their own holiday dreams to life.
Beginning my career with Thomas Cook at the age of 16 and more recently working at my local Hays Travel branch, I’ve now taken the exciting step of becoming a self-employed Personal Travel Consultant with Hays.
As your Personal Travel Consultant, you’ll deal with me directly from start to finish. I’m here at a time that is convenient for you day or night and I’ll guide you through every step, right down to the little extras like excursions, car hire and airport lounges. I’ll take the time to understand what you’re looking for, whether it’s a relaxing beach escape, an adventure-filled city break, a magical honeymoon or the perfect cruise.
Partnering with Hays Travel, the largest independent travel agent in the UK, allows me to hand-select holidays that fit your budget and needs, all with full ABTA and ATOL protection.
With my experience and passion for travel, I’ll make planning your holiday exciting, stress-free, and personal to you.

Florida
Florida will always hold a special place in my heart. It’s more than just a holiday destination, it’s where many of my happiest family memories have been made. We’ve been lucky enough to visit Disney World several times and every trip has been just as magical as the first. There’s something so special about walking down Main Street USA, watching the parades and seeing the fireworks light up the sky.
Florida isn’t just about Disney though. From beautiful beaches and amazing shopping to the laid-back charm of the Keys, there’s something for everyone.
For me, Florida always delivers sunshine, smiles, and unforgettable memories every time.

Venice
A childhood visit to Venice is where my love of travel truly began and it’s a city like no other. From the stunning architecture of St. Mark’s Basilica to exploring the charming canals and hidden squares, there’s something magical around every corner. I will never forget the feeling of gliding along the canals in a gondola and exploring the little streets that felt like a maze full of surprises.
It’s the perfect place to wander, enjoy markets and artisan shops, savour authentic Italian cuisine or take a gondola ride at sunset. Venice is full of experiences that make a holiday truly unforgettable.

Yosemite
Yosemite is one of those places that instantly takes your breath away. From the moment you step into the valley and see El Capitan, cascading waterfalls, and giant sequoias, it’s impossible not to feel inspired. We stayed in Yosemite as part of a family road trip from Las Vegas to San Francisco and the natural beauty of the park has stayed with me ever since.
Yosemite offers a perfect blend of adventure and tranquillity. Hike scenic trails, take in the dramatic views or simply relax and soak up the serenity. Whether you’re a keen hiker, a nature lover, or just looking to escape into the great outdoors, Yosemite has something to make every trip unforgettable.
