“I’ll Never Book a Holiday on My Own Ever Again!

As a seasoned traveller who’s now also a busy working mum, planning holidays has become far more time-consuming and overwhelming than it used to be.

Having Marlee take the stress off my shoulders by doing the research, presenting thoughtfully curated options, and being there every step of the journey has completely changed the way I book travel.

I genuinely can’t imagine doing it any other way again - Marlee is my first stop when we even have an idea to travel!”

Such a lovely review from a referral client ❤️
Travel planning is so time consuming, and sometimes you just don’t want to spend hours researching, comparing and booking it all yourself.

My job is to take that off your plate and make the whole process easier, from the first idea to getting home.

Thinking about your next trip? You know where to find me ✈️ I’m available for new bookings until August 22 and will be taking a short break.

“Marlee has been incredible to work with over the past few years, helping organise everything from simple trips to a major celebration in Greece that brought together 50 people from Australia, Asia and Europe.

She found the perfect hotel for our group, organised a wonderful celebration dinner, arranged a fantastic boat day, and coordinated flights and itineraries for many of our guests. She also planned our travels throughout Greece, Europe and Morocco, making what could have been a very complicated experience feel seamless.

What I appreciate most is how invested Marlee is in making every trip special. She is patient, resourceful, responsive and always willing to go the extra mile. Her expertise saved me countless hours of planning and removed so much stress from the process.

I couldn’t recommend Marlee more highly. She is an absolute pleasure to work with and a big part of what made our travels and celebration so memorable.“

I love organising group travel, it’s such a joy being part of something like this 🥰

Thankful for this referral and lovely review.

“Planning our first trip to Europe felt overwhelming until a friend recommended Marlee — and we are so glad they did. She made the whole process easy, exciting and stress-free with her knowledge, patience and genuine care.

Marlee took the time to understand our travel style and what we wanted from the trip, then tailored thoughtful recommendations for places, tours and experiences that suited us perfectly. Her practical advice, including tips on European hotel room sizes, helped us make smarter choices without compromising the experience. We especially loved the Greek Islands, and her personal travel insights made a real difference.

Marlee was incredibly patient with my ambition to see everything in six weeks and still helped us create an unforgettable holiday while saving money along the way.

We couldn’t recommend her highly enough and are so grateful for her role in planning our first of many European adventures.” 🌹🫶🏼

🇨🇦 Canada’s ski season is calling, and right now it’s one of the best times to book.

Air Canada and Qantas flights are now on sale, as well as some early bird packages, ski packages with flights + hotels, lift passes for a family of 4 under $10,000.

Even better, the Australian dollar is currently close to parity with the Canadian dollar, making your money go further once you arrive.

After living in Canada for seven years, skiing across Western Canada, and helping travelers plan Canadian ski vacations for more than a decade, I’ve personally visited every resort below. If you’re wondering which mountain best suits your family, ability, budget, or ski style, I can help you choose the right one.

Resorts I’ve been to:
• Whistler Blackcomb
• Big White
• Sun Peaks
• SilverStar
• Revelstoke
• Kicking Horse
• RED Mountain
• Whitewater
• Fernie Alpine Resort
• Kimberley Alpine Resort
• Lake Louise Ski Resort
• Sunshine Village
• Mt. Norquay
• Marmot Basin

No two Canadian ski resorts are the same. Whether you’re after incredible terrain, a charming ski town, shorter lift lines, family-friendly slopes, or the best powder, there’s a resort that’s perfect for you.

✈️ Send me a message or link in bio and let’s find the Canadian ski holiday that’s right for you.

“We engaged Marlee to plan our honeymoon in the Maldives, followed by two weeks in Sri Lanka, and everything was seamless from start to finish.

She organised our all-inclusive Maldives resort, flights, accommodation throughout Sri Lanka, a stopover in KL and a fantastic itinerary that made the whole trip stress-free.

Her recommendations were spot on, communication was excellent, and every detail was taken care of. We could simply relax and enjoy the experience.

We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Marlee to anyone planning a special trip. Great for brides who a tapped out of planning a honeymoon after organising their wedding!”

Thank you for this lovely feedback. I loved planning this honeymoon - a great combination of exploration and relaxation. 🏝️

Thanks again Manni 💙
