Travel brings joy, and I’m passionate about helping people create incredible memories! I love turning travel ideas into exciting, memorable experiences and making the journey from dreaming to booking as easy and enjoyable as possible.
Travel has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. Having grown up travelling regularly and now visited 21 countries (and counting!), it felt like a natural step to turn my passion for exploring the world into a career where I can help others experience it too.
I specialise in travel across Australia, Southeast Asia, the USA, the Pacific Islands and cruising, bringing firsthand knowledge from both my time living in the USA and my recent month-long adventure through Europe. I love discovering destinations both on and off the beaten track and using my own travel experiences, combined with my industry knowledge, to create holidays that are perfectly suited to each client.
Some of my most memorable travel experiences include island hopping through Greece, exploring Mexico on a Contiki, travelling through Southeast Asia with my best friend, and discovering the beautiful Pacific Islands closer to home.
Whether you’re planning a family holiday, romantic getaway, cruise, solo adventure or once-in-a-lifetime trip, my goal is to make the planning process easy and enjoyable while taking care of the details along the way. I love creating personalised itineraries that match your travel style, interests and expectations, and I’m here to help from the initial planning through to those special insider tips that can make your trip even more memorable.
Share your dream holiday with me, and together we’ll make it a reality! Let me take care of the details so you can relax, enjoy the journey and make memories that last a lifetime.

"Life is short and the world is wide, the sooner you start exploring it, the better." - Simon Raven
Why I love travel:
Travelling takes us out of our comfort zone and inspires us to experience new things that we otherwise wouldn't in our normal day to day lives. It enriches your life from meeting new people from all walks of life, trying new food from different corners of the world, and humbles you to appreciate the small things in life.
My travel tips:
- Always have travel insurance
- Wake up early - whether it be to see the sunrise, or to skip a queue, or get a coffee at the local café.
- Make a list of the things you want to experience and pre book as much as you can.
- Stay local with everything easily accessible on foot.
My top 5 favourite destinations:
- Italy - rolling hills and crystal blue waters, stunning villages and cathedrals, amazing food and wine.
- South Africa - rich cultural experiences, amazing wildlife on safari, breath-taking landscapes.
- Croatia - stunning beaches and unbelievable landscapes from the islands in the Adriatic to the Krka National Park.
- Mexico - amazing food, fascinating Mayan culture, stunning beaches, and fabulous architecture from ancient temples to the colonial cathedrals.
- Canada - my birth land! The people, the rich forests, lakes, mountains and wildlife.
What's in my suitcase:
- First Aid kit as you can never be too prepared.
- Travel Diary - make an effort to write down the highlights of your day, you will look back in appreciation.
- Sarong or thin, long scarf - will come in handy as a towel or to cover your shoulders when need be.
- Small change of local currency - whether it be to buy a bottle of water or a quick snack or to leave a tip.
