Bespoke Travel Support for Discerning Guests
Your adventure, your decisions, your experience

Travel need not diminish with age. With the right support, you can continue exploring the world on your terms - whether visiting family at home or abroad, pursuing long-held travel ambitions, or simply enjoying the journeys that enrich life.
Senior Travel Companion provides professional peer companionship for mature travellers who value their independence yet recognise the benefit of experienced, discreet support.
This is not care provision - it is companion travel for individuals who wish to maintain their autonomy while having reliable, capable support throughout their journey.
I'm Graham Bell OBE, and I provide this service personally. With over 40 years’ experience in business leadership, social work, public service and extensive world travel, I understand what makes travel truly enriching. As your companion, I bring this insight to every journey. Together, we plan carefully, travel at your pace, and ensure you have confidence at every stage.
As a registered business, you can expect professionalism, proper planning and clear communication.
Each engagement is individually tailored. Services may include assistance with luggage and documentation, navigation support, liaison with travel providers, and companionable presence throughout your journey. I accept a select number of bookings each year to ensure personalised attention to every client.Email Graham

About Graham
My guarantee to you
I live in Kilcreggan on the Rosneath Peninsula in Argyll and have travelled extensively across Europe, North America, Africa, Asia and Australasia.
I remain active, physically through exercise and projects around my home and hillside garden, and intellectually through board leadership roles in health, social care and community justice. I also actively support my community in my role in our local village hall.
I created this service because I believe travel should remain possible throughout life - not as something we "used to do", but as something we continue to enjoy, on our own terms, with the right support.
"With age, comes wisdom. With travel, comes understanding."
