My journey in the travel industry began 6 years ago but wow, what a journey it has been! I have always been passionate about travel but never did I think I could combine my passion into now my profession. I can never call my job “work” – I enjoy it way too much!I can help you plan and put together 5 star luxury escapes or a budget trip, honeymoons (including wedding gift registry), escorted or private touring, independent packages, cruises, active adventures, round the world itineraries, sports group trips and even your “weekenders” interstate. My favourite kind of holiday could be best described as Active or Adventure Travel as this usually involves some kind of extended walk/hike, climb or seeing animals or nature that is under threat – this often takes us off the beaten track!! I have completed many extended walks/hikes with my husband including the Kokoda Track in Papua New Guinea, Inca Trail in Peru, Mt Kinabalu in Sabah, Overland Track in Tasmania, Milford and Routeburn Tracks in New Zealand but lets not leave out Mt Yasur on Tanna Island in Vanuatu – an active volcano with lava bombs and eruptions – adrenalin pumping stuff!! In addition to this, I have experienced all different ways of travel: I have backpacked, travelled Australia in a caravan, had a fly/drive honeymoon around New Zealand, relaxed in amazing resorts in Asia and the South Pacific, shopped til I dropped in cities like Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok and Hong Kong, toured with small group operators in South America and larger tour groups in Europe, cruised both Expedition style vessel in Antarctica and tasted Passenger Ship cruising with Royal Caribbean and even our wedding was a package on Hamilton Island. I also love the annual footy/shopping trip to Melbourne and of course the odd camping trip closer to home.
