Tasmania

An island packed with adventure, flavour and charm


Wild, delicious and wonderfully unique

Australia’s captivating island state of Tasmania is a place where nature and culture collide beautifully. Best known for its wild landscapes, abundant wildlife (hello, Tassie devil!), and fascinating history, Tassie is also a foodie’s paradise. Picture yourself sampling local wines, sweet strawberries fresh from the farm, delicious cheeses and mouth-watering seafood from friendly artisan producers or bustling markets.

Tasmania’s compact size, paired with easy roads and stunning scenery, makes it perfect for a self-drive adventure. Give yourself at least a week to wander through towering forests, explore pristine beaches, delve into historic sites and marvel at majestic mountain scenery. Fancy something more adventurous? Paddle your way through secluded bays by kayak, tackle exhilarating white-water rafting, or lace up your boots and trek through spectacular wilderness trails.

Looking to mix it up? Glide down tranquil rivers on relaxing cruises, enjoy the thrill of guided 4WD tours, or even take to the skies in a helicopter for views you’ll never forget. And don’t miss Hobart’s iconic Mona, a world-class museum that’s put Tasmania firmly on the global art map.

"We have found Torin outstanding. He has gone the extra mile for us several times and we are very grateful. We had major health issues during our last Brisbane trip and he was so helpful with all the changes we had to make to our itinerary. He is also helping us with an issue we have with Air New Zealand and again we are so grateful for his help."

With over 20 countries visited and four group tours under my belt, I understand just how impactful a well-planned journey can be. Each trip has given me new insights—not only into different cultures and places—but also into what truly makes a travel experience memorable.

I genuinely enjoy the planning process: mapping out itineraries, uncovering hidden gems, and making sure every detail is just right. It’s this same thoughtfulness and enthusiasm I bring to every trip I help design. Whether it’s a relaxed escape, a cultural deep dive, or an adventure-filled group tour, my goal is to create travel experiences that are exciting, seamless, and tailored to you.

When I’m not travelling, you’ll usually find me being a proud (and slightly crazy) dog lady—spending time with my three dogs and competing in dog agility. My love of animals flows into my travel values too, and I’m a big believer in travelling ethically and responsibly, with care and respect for local communities, cultures, and wildlife.

Customer service has always been drilled into me. After begging my way into a cafe job at 14, I then spent 12 years working in the hospitality industry supervising restaurants and managing specialty cafes which also founded my love for all different types of foods.

After spending 3 years in Melbourne, 6 months in South East Asia and a few years in the UK I finally made the switch to the travel industry where I have been able to share my love for travel and customer service ever since.

I made it through the dark years of COVID in the industry which has led me to know to dig that little bit deeper into my clients' travel plans to create that perfect trip, and ensure we really have the best option for you in terms of comfort, reliability, and service. As we just don't know what is round the corner, do we!

I've travelled extensively across Southeast Asia, UK and Europe, spent a lot of time exploring properties in Fiji (and relaxing by the beach), road tripped in California and in 2024 I visited South Africa in Feb, Japan, South Korea and Taipei! I've got many more places on my bucket list to visit, but if I haven't been, I've got a superb team of people behind me who have and we'll work out the best trip for you! My ultimate passion when I travel is trying local foods, and finding the best possible places to have that authentic experience that we wouldn't be able to have at home. So if that resonates with you, I'd love to hear from you and let's put together your foodie adventure, together :)

Travel is truly in my blood. My grandparents sparked the travel bug in my mum, and she passed that passion on to me. From the moment I took my very first holiday at age three, a magical trip to Disneyland, I was hooked. Growing up, I listened to my mum’s stories from her OE, my cousins’ globe-trotting adventures, and my sister’s explorations, all of which fueled my own wanderlust.

Over the years, I’ve lived in Scotland, as well as in England and Ireland, soaking up different cultures and ways of life. I’ve been fortunate to travel extensively, exploring incredible destinations including Jordan, Israel, the USA, Australia & Europe. I’ve experienced the security and ease of organised solo travel with Contiki and Topdeck tours, but I’ve also embraced the challenge and freedom of planning my own trips, like eloping in Denmark, which remains one of my most cherished adventures.

With a background in hospitality, I combine practical knowledge with genuine care to craft holidays that are personalised, meaningful, and seamless. I love getting to know your unique travel style and what matters most to you, whether that’s family fun, a romantic escape, or a bucket-list adventure.

I’m not just your travel consultant; I’m your travel cheerleader. I’ll celebrate every countdown with you, smooth out any bumps along the way, and be just as excited when everything comes together perfectly. My goal is to take the stress out of travel planning, so you can focus on making memories.

Let’s work together to create a travel experience that’s not only unforgettable but uniquely yours.
