About me

My passion for travel started in my teens.  Maybe my European heritage inspired me but I knew before I had even finished school that all I wanted to be was a travel agent.  After more than 20 years in the travel industry I knew my strength was helping people plan amazing travel adventures and creating life long memories.  That’s when I decided to start my own travel business as a Personal Travel Manager.

I am based in the Mt Gravatt area of Brisbane but I have many clients all over Brisbane and interstate.  Location is not a problem, and how wonderful we live in a digital world where we can video call, email and chat from anywhere.

As a Personal Travel Manager I really enjoy meeting with clients and planning their travel adventures.  Every client is different, with different needs, different bucket lists and budget.  I listen to what my clients want and do not push any one particular product.  It is about what is best for the client and their travel requirements.  Whether you are looking to book your dream holiday, a short break, special occasion or business trip I would love to be your Travel Planner and Holiday Maker.

Services I Provide

A holiday can be something we plan and dream about for a long time.  Sometimes we are too busy to take the time out of our schedule to even plan a holiday and with the internet and so much information available at your fingertips it can be overwhelming.  That is where my expertise comes in handy.  As your Personal Travel Manager I will use my years of experience and knowledge to best tailor a holiday that suits you.

  • My services don’t stop as soon as you have paid for your holiday.  I will look after you all the way through the booking process and after you return from your holiday.

JW Marriott Gold Coast

JW Marriott Gold Coast

When life gets busy, as it often does, we need to recharge and get away.  I can personally say that the JW Marriott Gold Coast will leave you feeling relaxed, refreshed and wanting more.

This beautiful Gold Coast luxury hotel has just been refurbished in December 2020 and offers so much for both couples and families alike.

From the moment you step into the beautiful, light and airy foyer with it’s decadent grand staircase and lot’s of different nooks to sit and relax and watch the world go by.  I instantly felt I was on holidays.

The adults will love the bars & restaurants, a full service spa on site and poolside cabanas to enjoy.  The kids will be entertained by the activities available like daily fish feeding, herb gardens to explore, pizza making and not to mention the amazing pools with slides and caves to swim in.

All rooms have been refurbished with light colours and turquoise blues to match the location.  A very fresh and modern feel.

For those short getaways, there’s no need to leave the hotel during your stay but instead relax and enjoy the facilities.  For those staying a bit longer and wish to venture further afield the location is fantastic, only a 5 minute walk to surf beaches and close to all the Gold Coast has to offer.
