About me

I am a dedicated Travel Agent that believe’s the best holidays aren’t just about where you go, they’re about how you experience them.

I have a genuine love for travel, from luxury escapes, ocean and river cruising to Disney, Asia, the USA, Europe, beautiful beach escapes and incredible group adventures. But what I really love is finding those hidden gems and unexpected experiences that turn a great holiday into an unforgettable one.

It could be discovering a hidden speakeasy you’d never know was there, dinner at a Ninja restaurant in Japan, Breakfast at Tiffany’s in New York, an incredible rooftop bar in Asia, a little local gem tucked away in a European laneway, or finding that perfect beach resort where you can completely switch off.

If there’s something fun, unique or a little bit special to experience, I’ll find it for you.

I particularly love the incredible variety that Asia, the USA and Europe offer, and I’m equally at home planning a fabulous ocean cruise, a beautiful river cruise through Europe or finding the perfect luxury beach escape. For me, it’s about getting to know how you like to travel and then finding those extra touches that make the holiday feel completely yours.

Luxury doesn’t always mean five-star. It’s about having the right experience, thoughtful details, seamless planning and knowing your precious holiday time is being spent well.

Whether I’m planning a luxury escape, ocean or river cruise, Disney adventure, USA road trip, European journey, Asian getaway, relaxing beach holiday, group trip or family adventure, I want you to experience more than just the destination.

Because a holiday isn’t just about seeing somewhere new. It’s about living it, discovering its secrets and coming home with stories you’ll be telling for years.

How My Passion for Travel Began

How My Passion for Travel Began

My travel journey and career began at 21, and from that very first adventure, I was hooked. Since then, I’ve been lucky enough to travel extensively across the globe, creating incredible memories of my own while helping others create their journeys and memories too.

As my life has changed, so has the way I travel. From travelling in my twenties to now exploring the world as a family, my passion has only grown. I love showing that travelling with children doesn’t mean giving up incredible experiences, it means experiencing the world in a completely different way.

I love the big moments – Disney Magic, Universal Adventure, Cruising, Beautiful Resorts and Iconic Destinations, but I’m just as passionate about the unexpected ones. The hidden speakeasy, the local restaurant, the cultural experience or that little gem you almost walked straight past.

For me, travel is about so much more than simply visiting a destination. It’s about experiencing it, creating memories and coming home with stories to inspire others – My Life motto is “You can always make money, but you can’t always make memories”

There is still so much of the world I can’t wait to discover, and I’d love to help you discover it too.
