Travel is a passion for me, I have been in travel for quite some time (too long to remember) from Corporate to Leisure. 

I aim to help people no matter what their plans are to create the best holiday experience possible. I enjoy being part of our travellers experience and making the whole process as easy as possible & to create fantastic memories that are special and will last a lifetime for themselves and their families.

I have travelled to some amazing places, but one stands out, the 6 months I spent working on Antarctica at McMurdo Station is a highlight & backpacking through India was a challenge.

From visiting the many aspects of Australia, Asia, South Africa & South America to basking in the sun on the Maldives or hitting the beaches and shopping in Thailand I would love to help you create some new stories & memories. I love active holidays and have followed the Moto GP / Formula 1 and the Isle of Man TT was particularly exciting. Followed by walking up on Mt Kinabalu was another eventful trip.

However, every great adventure starts with a plan, and I would be honoured to help you with that plan, whether you take the road less travelled or one of the many roads that lead to Rome.

I look forward to helping you to create more wonderful stories and memories in the coming years.

I thoroughly enjoy the diversity travel offers, especially learning about new and exciting destinations. I am very people focused and thrive on planning the perfect holiday experiences for my clients.

Why Choose Me? Because Travel is Personal — and So Am I.

I’m not just here to book your flights and hotels — I’m here to help you create memories that you’ll talk about for years to come.

What sets me apart? It’s the little things. I listen. I care. I take the time to understand not just "where" you want to go, but "why" — whether it’s ticking off a dream destination, reconnecting with loved ones, or simply taking a break that truly feels like a break. I believe travel should feel as seamless as it is exciting, and I’m passionate about making that happen for every single client.

My own travels — from watching snow monkeys bathe in the steaming hot springs of Nagano, to sipping cocktails at sunset in Fiji, to reluctantly (but joyfully!) zipping through Tokyo in a Mario Kart costume — have taught me that the best experiences often come from the unexpected. I’ve wandered through the vibrant chaos and calm of India, floated in the warm, peaceful waters of Samoa, soaked up the buzzing beach energy of the Gold Coast and Sydney, and fallen for Melbourne’s cool charm and hidden laneways. And then there was sailing away on a Disney Cruise — a perfect mix of childhood nostalgia and grown-up luxury, complete with fireworks over the ocean. I bring that same curiosity and energy to planning every trip, with insider tips, honest advice, and a commitment to making your version of a perfect getaway come to life.

People often tell me I have a calming presence, a knack for making complex trips feel simple, and a sharp eye for the details others miss. I see myself as your advocate, your sounding board, and sometimes even your travel therapist. And I love that.

At the end of the day, people buy people — and when you choose to work with me, you’re not just getting a consultant. You’re getting a partner who’s just as invested in your travel dreams as you are.
