Our Latest Pacific Islands Deals

Travel has always ignited a deep passion within me. I’ve been incredibly fortunate to wander across distant lands and hidden gems, and my longing to explore continues to grow with every trip. After my time working in Florida, I've returned to the U.S. multiple times, and Philadelphia holds a special place in my heart—alive with history, bursting with vibrant culture, and so wonderfully easy to discover.

My journeys have taken me to London, Egypt, Jordan, and more recently, I’ve embraced the joy of exploring closer to home. I’ve been captivated by the awe-inspiring landscapes of Uluru and the Red Centre and mesmerized by the beauty of Heron Island in the southern reaches of the Great Barrier Reef. I’ve also fallen in love with the energetic pulse of Sydney and the breathtaking northwestern wonders of Tasmania—visiting Launceston, Cradle Mountain (even in summer, don’t forget your coat—the cold can surprise you), and Strahan.

As the dedicated Australia and Pacific specialist at our office, these adventures have not only broadened my horizons but have fuelled my passion to share these incredible experiences with others. I eagerly look forward to discovering more extraordinary destinations, immersing myself in diverse cultures, and creating unforgettable memories—wholeheartedly sharing that joy and passion with everyone I meet!

"Whether it be cruising, OE's or travelling with a young family my first-hand knowledge will certainly be an asset when planning your winter break, European adventure, or once in a life time dream holiday!" 

"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.
