A travel agent who has set up a brand new business from her home says she is following her dreams - and that coronavirus won’t stop her.

Tracy Hendricks, from Lowestoft, has launched an independent travel agent which is open 24 hours a day seven days a week.

Mrs Hendricks joins over 1,900 Travel Counsellors in seven countries across the world who run their own travel business from home, allowing them to work flexibly around the needs of their customers, including being contactable during the evenings and weekends.

Mrs Hendricks said: “I’ve travelled the globe over the last 20 plus years, and this has always been my dream.

“I know we can’t go anywhere at the moment and people might think I’m mad to start this during a pandemic but one day it will be over. We all need something to look forward to over the next few years.”
