Travel Counsellors

Fundraiser launched for Travel Counsellor and family after death of baby boy Maverick

It follows an inspiring effort by Corin and his family to bring Maverick to the UK for urgent treatment in January, after he was diagnosed with a serious heart condition in his birthplace of Istanbul.

Little Maverick Corin was born in September to Corin, who is British, and his wife Eda, who is Turkish. Maverick held a British passport, but the family initially struggled to secure an advised transfer to Bristol Royal Hospital for Children to be stabilised, before then travelling to another major UK hospital for surgery.

'We loved every minute of our drive'

Travel Counsellor Alex Maxwell-Clarke

I won a prize of five nights’ rental at a Tourism Australia event, and we travelled in March this year. I planned the route very carefully as I treated this trip more like a self-fam than a holiday. My partner is also an amateur photographer, so he was especially keen to capture the diverse Australian landscapes and wildlife.
