See the world through your eyes, your story, your solo travel adventure.
Independent adventures
Travelling on your own, but never alone.
Whether you’re flying solo by choice, ticking off a bucket list while your partner stays home, or simply craving some ‘me time’ with the option of great company along the way, we’ve got you.
Our independent travel options are perfect for those who want to explore the world on their own terms – with the freedom to set your pace, plus the comfort of a group when you want it. You might be keen on a guided small group tour, a women-only journey, a cruise with no single supplement, or a tailored trip with your own space at the end of each magical day. However you want to travel, we’ll match you with the experience that makes it feel easy, safe and unforgettable.
From culinary walking tours through Italy, to sailing in Croatia, to dancing across the temples of Thailand, these trips are made for connection – with places, with people, and most importantly, with yourself.
There are a variety of tours, cruises and experiences that cater for those travelling on your own. Check out some of our favourites solo deals or holidays below!
So go on, plan that big trip. Just for you.

CHOOSE THE WAY YOU TRAVEL
Happy to share
Skip the single supplement by sharing a room with a same-gender traveller on select tours. It’s a great way to save—and maybe meet your travel twin along the way.
Your own space, your own pace
Prefer the comfort of your own room? Choose the single supplement option—join the group by day, unwind in your private retreat by night.

The best holiday experience is a blend of organised activity along with a sense of discovery.
Bespoke holidays are my specialty.
Exploring off the beaten track destinations where you feel like a local yet welcomed as a guest creates treasured memories.

My first big trip was off to Camp America many years ago. As soon as I stepped foot on the first big international plane, the travel bug bit me and I never wanted to stop! Eventually I had to get a "real job" and what better job than as a travel agent.
Since then I've enjoyed sending many more people on their first big exciting trip overseas, on family holidays, honeymoons, reunions, road trips, girls trips and any other reason you can think of for travel!

Why book with me?
Because your holiday deserves more - it deserves care, tailored advice, and personal attention every step of the way.
With over 20 years of experience as a travel consultant, I specialise in designing trips that fit your needs perfectly, whether it's a fun family escape to the Gold Coast or a complex, multi-country adventure across the globe. I'm here to handle the details, solve the unexpected and make sure your travel experience is seamless from start to finish.
Travel isn't just my job - it's my lifelong passion. Since catching the travel bug at age 12 on a trip to England, I've explored around 35 countries, discovering the joys of rail journeys, river and ocean cruises, guided tours and solo travel. This hands-on experience means I can give you first-hand tips and recommendations.
My favourite destinations include Italy, England and Niue, but truly, I've fallen in love with almost everywhere I have explored. Next on my list? Japan, Samoa and Sri Lanka - always planning, always exploring, so I can share the very best with you.
I feel privileged to work in such an exciting, dynamic industry, and I'd love to help to plan your next unforgettable holiday. Let me take care of everything - so all you have to do is enjoy.

For a long time, I've told people I have the best job in the world and I still stand by that.
What could be better than turning peoples dreams into reality? I never know what the day will bring and isn't variety the spice of life?
My travel journey started a bit later in my life, so I haven't been everywhere YET, but I am having a damn good crack at it, gathering local knowledge along the way.
