Hi, I'm Eilish – I have a love for exploring the world, with a soft spot for Europe, Bali and youth travel.

I love putting together smooth, personalised travel plans, using my organisational skills and fun, bubbly personality. Helping people turn their dream holidays into reality, making sure every detail is just right.

In 2024, I was proud to be named a Contiki Champ, which was a personal accomplishment with a brand I have tried and tested and love myself.

Whether it’s a group getaway or a solo journey, my goal is to help people discover new destinations, create lasting memories, and feel confident while exploring the world.

I really do have a passion for travel especially visiting new destinations. 

I very rarely spend my holidays at home. I'm usually on a plane with husband Mike - suitcases over packed as usual. 

We enjoy being active on holiday - walking 800 kms across Spain on the Camino, biking through Latvia and Estonia. 

I equally enjoy a good beach holiday such as Santorini, Fiji and Queensland. 

We also manage to fit in visiting children and grandchildren in London, Hong Kong and Sydney.

I have had a lifelong love affair for exploring the world. Raised in a family that prioritised travel, I inherited a passion for all things travel. I have lived in different countries (London, USA, Argentina) and I am fascinated with the rich tapestry of culture, people, religion and food in new places. 

My love for travel has taken me to some of the world’s most amazing places!

From Mauritius to Bahamas and all in between, I have been privileged to experience the world and being able to speak and understand 5 languages English, Afrikaans, Dutch, German and Greek) certainly comes in helpful.

I have grown up in South Africa, spending most of my adult life there, being able to show my clients what makes this region so unique is a privilege. Africa was my backyard after all and even after living in NZ for almost 12 years, my heart still beats to the African Drum.

For me, choosing a favourite destination is impossible. But .. Bali has literally captivated my heart, and even though I have been there 20+ times, I still always find new things to uncover. As does the Maldives, Mauritius and Seychelles, these islands just have the “it” factor

I also love ocean cruising, especially Mediterranean and the Caribbean. Cruising offers such a great variety and a chance to see multiple destinations and experiencing iconic landmarks and locations from your hotel on the sea. 

I WOULD SAY MY PASSION IS MAKING MY CLIENTS DREAM HOLIDAYS COME TRUE AND I PRIDE MYSELF ON MY EFFICIENT SERVICE AT ALL TIMES.

Vietnam FAQs

Q. What is the best time to visit Vietnam?
Vietnam’s diverse geography means the best time to visit varies by region. Generally, spring (March to April) and autumn (September to November) offer pleasant weather with less humidity and rainfall. For northern destinations like Hanoi or Halong Bay, it is generally cooler than the rest of the country so winter (November to January) is cooler, while southern cities like Ho Chi Minh City enjoy dry weather during these months. Central Vietnam, including Hoi An and Hue, is best visited between February and August when it’s warm and sunny.

Q. Where should I go on holiday in Vietnam?
Vietnam boasts incredible diversity. Visit Hanoi for history and culture, Halong Bay for its stunning limestone karsts, and Hue for imperial palaces. Central Vietnam offers the charm of Hoi An’s ancient streets and Danang’s beaches. In the south, explore the Mekong Delta’s waterways or experience the vibrant city life of Ho Chi Minh City. For nature enthusiasts, Sapa's terraced rice fields and Phong Nha’s caves are must-sees.

Q. How long should I plan for my Vietnam trip?
To see the main highlights, we recommend a minimum of 10 days, but ideally three weeks — to see the very best of Vietnam in its entirety.

Q. How to find the best holiday package to Vietnam?
Check out our Vietnam deals section on the website or subscribe to receive exclusive offers straight to your inbox. Our Vietnam travel specialists can help craft the perfect itinerary for your adventure.

Q. Where should I stay in Vietnam? 
Vietnam offers options for every budget. Choose boutique hotels or luxury stays in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, eco-lodges in Sapa, beach resorts in Danang or Phu Quoc, and traditional junk boats for an unforgettable overnight in Halong Bay.

Q. What should I pack for Vietnam?
When traveling to Vietnam or other neighbouring Southeast Asian countries, your packing list will vary based on the time of year you decide to travel.

  • Lightweight clothing for hot weather, with layers for cooler northern winters.
  • Comfortable shoes for walking and exploring cities or trails.
  • Sunscreen, bug spray, and a reusable water bottle.
    A universal adapter for electronics (Vietnam uses type A, C, and G plugs).

Q. What are some must-try experiences in Vietnam?
Some of our absolute favourites to explore in Vietnam include - Cruising Halong Bay, visiting the bustling markets of Ho Chi Minh City, cycling through rice paddies in Hoi An, and indulging in authentic Vietnamese cuisine like pho and banh mi are experiences not to miss.

Q. Do I need travel insurance for Vietnam? 
Yes, travel insurance is highly recommended. Ensure your policy covers unexpected medical needs and trip interruptions.

Q. How to get around in Vietnam?
If you’re short on time, skipping central Vietnam and flying from north to south (or vice-versa) is wise.  If time's not a problem, book a driver and guide for a scenic route between Hue and Danang, or Hanoi and Danang. Both drives are stunning. 

Trains are reliable throughout, but the Reunification Express train, which chugs between Hanoi and Sapa, is a real highlight. Slow but intrepid, if you have time to amble, the views are incredible. 

We recommend you to download the Grab app (similar to Uber) but no need to put credit card details in. You know the price before you go & pay cash. Much easier than taxis & super cheap.

Q. What dishes should I try in Vietnam?
Street food is very common & more stalls come out at night than day time. Sit on a very low plastic seat & enjoy new flavours & textures. You may need to observe fellow diners on how to eat some dishes!

We highly recommend eating where Obama dined - While in Hanoi, President Obama ate at an every-day noodle establishment called Bun Cha Huong Lien. Food is tasty, cheap and the restaurant is very proud of it’s most famous diner!
