I have always been a lover of travel, family holidays as a child sparked my love of seeing the world. I was born in England, moving to New Zealand with my family at the age of six. Drawn to the outdoors and the natural beauty of the world, I enjoy nothing more than exploring new landscapes, immersing myself in local living or being a major tourist. Whether that’s wondering narrow streets, exploring a big city or lounging on a sun-soaked beach.

In addition to my knowledge of travel, I'm currently training to become a Contiki champ with a passion for adventure and a love of meeting new people, I am eager to help you plan your own exciting Contiki, Top Deck, G-adventures or Intrepid tour and create unforgettable memories. 

I was fortunate enough to be sent to Disneyland California and loved every aspect of its adrenaline packed adventure. It is an unforgettable trip and I cant wait to help others book their magical Disney holidays. 

With a passion for adventure and a keen eye for detail, I’m always on the lookout for hidden gems, unique experiences and trending destinations. Whether you're looking for a thrill-seeking adventure or a peaceful escape into nature, I have the drive to help you plan the trip of a lifetime.

TIPS FOR YOUR QUEENSLAND HOLIDAY.

 

  1. FAMILY FUN
    Queensland is jam-packed with fun-filled activities, experiences to entertain the whole family, from Gold Coast to the Tropical North. Pack the beach ball, frisbee and cricket set and settle in for a day of sunshine at the beach or get the heart pumping at the theme parks – the little people will be entertained for hours! Explore rock pools, chase waterfalls, hire a bike and cycle to a shady spot or stop for an ice-cream - a fun way to explore and you may even see different aspects of the region you never knew existed. With over 300 days of sunshine you won’t struggle for things to do with the family. Plenty of family-friendly accommodation options to choose from.

  2. LOVE IS IN THE AIR
    Whether you’re on a honeymoon or re-igniting the flame, experience the tranquillity of nature in the Whitsundays where you can unwind with a sensuous massage, enjoy ultimate privacy on a secluded beach or visit the renowned Whitehaven beach by helicopter. Discover Tropical North Queensland as you explore this incredible destination together and create unforgettable memories, admire the spectacular scenery of Cape Tribulation, views of Daintree Rainforest, pamper yourself in Palm Cove or experience a once-in-a-lifetime out in the Great Barrier Reef.

  3. APARTMENTS
    Great option for families and a group of friends but just a few things you need to know when booking an apartment. Each apartment is privately owned therefore the owner can choose to decorate their own unit so the apartment you book may not look like the apartment in our brochure. There are also many three level apartments with NO lifts – you will need to carry your own bags up/ down the stairs. These are serviced 7-10 days of your stay.

  4. FREEDOM ON WHEELS
    Plenty of opportunities to bring out the ‘Sunday Driver’ in you via a range of scenic drives. Hire a car and drive at your own leisure without a care in the world as time is no issue. Either map out your road trip or just take the scenic route and stop along the way and immerse yourself in the changing landscape and take in the different sounds. Road trips are the best to discover all the hidden gems. Just remember, Queensland is a big state, so you won’t run out of destinations, diversions and things to see and do – it can be as long as you want!

  5. EXPAND YOUR PALATE
    Stop the drooling and satisfy those hunger pangs! The importance of food is an essential part of life and Queensland will satisfy your culinary curiosity. You will find a delectable selection of food, however you feel on the day, you can buy from a food truck, decadent doughnut hotspot, street market or reserve a table at a fine dining restaurant – the only issue you will have is deciding what to eat! There are so many local restaurants, bars and cafés to choose from to make your money last longer while enjoying the buzzing foodie scene without burning a hole in your back pocket. Tempt your taste buds and celebrate all things food – you’ll be returning home with a full belly!

  6. SHOP O'CLOCK
    From international brands, and discounted outlet malls to eclectic market stalls – there is something for everyone. Check out the markets for local produce, entertainment as well as arts and crafts - it is the perfect place to pick up unique items and sample tasty local food. Just remember, not a lot of the stalls will have eftpos so don’t forget to take some cash. Pick up a bargain at an Outlet Shopping Centre offering up to 70% off or visit the local shopping mall, where all the stores are under one roof. Wherever you choose to shop there will be something with your name on it waiting to be purchased, just don’t forget your wallet! So put on your comfortable shoes and shop your heart out - find that ultimate outfit, new shoes or a high-tech gadget or simply just browse through the shop window.
