About me

I am a traveller and I love to travel. Travel isn’t just my career, it’s my one true passion. I love the adventure, the discovery, the sights, sounds & scents and the wonderful memories it creates.

I’ve been helping travellers plan exceptional journeys for more than 40 years, based right here in Gippsland. My experience, knowledge, integrity, enthusiasm and personalised approach have earned the trust of clients who value expert advice and tailored travel experiences. I’m well known for sharing my straight-forward advice and authentic service with everyone.

As no two travellers are the same, every itinerary I create is carefully designed to reflect your interests, travel style and dreams. I draw upon decades of firsthand travel experience and professional expertise, and I take pride in crafting unique journeys that are seamless, enriching and memorable.

As your Personal Travel Manager, I combine the warmth and personal service of a local business with the resources and buying power of a national network. My goal is simple – to save you time, provide expert guidance and create an itinerary that is perfectly suited to you, so you travel with confidence.

Where I've Travelled

Destinations I'm Passionate About

I am an epic traveller and drawn to the less crowded locations of the world, loving to explore away from the beaten track. I find isolated and desolate landscapes mesmerising.

I am a polar travel specialist, having explored Antarctica twice and South Georgia, the high Arctic 3 times, including Svalbard, Iceland, Greenland, the Canadian Arctic and I have successfully traversed the Northwest Passage from Nuuk to Nome.

The Gobi Desert of Mongolia, the rich red dunes of the Namib Desert, the silence of the Atacama, that’s my scene.

The spirituality of India, the diversity of the landscapes and peoples of the South American continent, the majesty of wildlife encounters in Africa – these are the experiences I love.

I am equally comfortable though, strolling through the narrow cobble-stoned streets of medieval villages in Europe, driving through the rolling green hills of the United Kingdom, being crammed into a crowded bus on the busy streets of Buenos Aires or enjoying performances in opulent opera houses.

I’m not a good tourist, but can’t resist visiting iconic sights of ancient cities or modern marvels.
With a lifetime of firsthand experience across diverse destinations and travel styles, I’m excited to help you create your perfect journey.

Services I Provide

What I do.
No matter what type of journey I am designing, my starting point is simply listening to you. I’ll ask many questions, as your needs and wants are the framework around which I create the perfect travel experience.
From city walks to frontier expeditions; from luxurious hotels to jungle lodges; from expedition cruising to huge ocean super-liners; from narrow gauge sightseeing trains to the Trans-Siberian railway; from the Arctic to the Antarctic; from a cooking class to gastronomic indulgences – this is a brief description of my experience and the scope of my knowledge. I am a free spirit. I love to travel. Travel is my life.
