Attention to detail is in my DNA

Attention to detail is in my DNA

I am the daughter of a librarian & a civil engineer, which means that attention to detail is in my DNA. This has held me in good stead throughout my life and is key to ensuring seamless holidays for you – my fabulous clients.

I pride myself on taking attention to detail to another level, because making sure that you have a great time while travelling is very important to me.

I highly recommend Christie as a TravelManager. Her attention to detail, knowledge of fantastic destinations and easy going nature make planning our travel experiences fun and trouble free. Anne M – Sydney

The nature of travelling the world means that things never quite seem to go completely as we hope they will. Flight delays are inevitable, the weather has a mind of its own and other little hiccups are bound to happen. These types of drama are beyond our control, but having confidence in the plans that I help to put in place can go a long way to give you peace of mind when travelling.

Horror stories abound online of travellers learning from experience when arriving in Sydney, Nova Scotia – instead of our harbour city; or revellers trying to check-in to a hotel for New Years’ celebrations in Sydney (the correct one), to find that their reservation is for the following year! It makes me quite proud to know that not one of my clients has ever found themselves in this kind of pickle.

Christie is a fantastic travel agent! She has meticulous attention to detail and extensive travel experience and knowledge. Samantha S – Brisbane

Have you ever travelled back in time as you cross the international dateline on the way to somewhere like the Cook Islands or Tahiti? The first thing I do for these itineraries is to include a hotel stay for the night before you leave, as this is when you actually arrive. I can’t imagine how frustrating it must be for those who arrive at these destinations to find that they have to wait in a hotel lobby late at night & for more than half a day, because their arrangements were only booked for the next day. Not my clients!

I’ve had the good fortune to have Christie arrange several cruises for me. Everything within her control happened seamlessly smooth. Vic F – Sydney

Wherever possible, I choose to book directly through airlines & cruiselines, to maintain full control over my clients’ reservations and allows me access to every little detail – from booking to the day you get back home.

I also work with a range of trusted speciality wholesalers, tour companies & other suppliers who have a level of attention to detail that matches my own. I place my trust in them to get things right, so that you are assured of a fabulous holiday. Although this can mean a small additional premium, it’s hard to put a price on being confident in your holiday plans.

Taking the time & the energy to dot every i & cross every t on every itinerary is important to me, and more importantly to you.

“Planning your holiday should always be half the fun!” Let me do the hard work, so that you only have to worry about what to pack & counting down to your escape to an amazing destination (or two). ? Christie
