About me

Hi, I’m Briony Bullard.

To start planning your next trip, you can email me at Briony.Bullard@travelmanagers.com.au or call me on 0421 958 400.

I am here to help get you away be it for a weekend or a year.

I’ve lived overseas for a total of 14 years in Japan and the UK and including 5 years working onboard a number of cruise ships as a croupier.

I love doing different things, particularly quirky things when I travel.

I am a quilter, long distance runner, prolific concert goer and avid ice-cream eater.

I also dabble in playing a bit of bridge.

Services I Provide

Pretty much everything!

I really like to meet up with you if we can over a coffee. That way we can talk about what you’d like to do, what you’ve done before and I can get a feel for your holiday.

If you are interstate, maybe we can use FaceTime or Skype to meet up?

I can then go and create a fabulous itinerary and find the best deal for you and maybe suggest a couple of things that you hadn’t thought of.

Think of me as the person who can make your holiday dreams and ideas become real for you.

I can also help you with visas and some of those nitty gritty things that you need to fine tune your holiday.

I also offer after hours/emergency service if on the rare chance you get stuck.

Best of all, when you get home, I want to hear all about your holiday (hopefully over a coffee or two!) and maybe hear about what you have in the pipeline for the next one.
