A country lad with and accounting background, who, in 1979 bought a one way ticket to London. After punching a Double Decker bus around Europe, Scandinavia, North Africa, Russia, the former Eastern Bloc, Canada, the USA and Mexico for Top Deck Travel for 5 1/2 years I returned to Australia. On my return I managed retail agencies for 10 years before biting the bullet in 1995 and opening my own travel agency in East Maitland. I have been here 18 years now and love the Hunter Valley area. My aim is to visit 100 countries and invest those experiences and knowledge into my client’s holidays, only 30 odd countries to go. Using my knowledge as a driver and tour leader with Top Deck Travel I now put together and es**rt small group tours to all parts of the world. Kellie Laver - Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday (9am - 5pm)
Originally from Guyra, I have been working in the Travel Industry since 2005 with my first position at Scenic Tours located in Newcastle. Recently I made the decision to come closer to home and secured my position at Greenhills Travel Centre (formerly Harvey World Travel Greenhills). I have been fortunate enough to travel extensively through Europe, UK, Ireland and Scotland. I have also been to West Coast Canada with Scenic Tours, Hawaii, USA (San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, Las Vegas, Orlando, Miami, Caribbean Cruise & NYC), extensively traveled around South America including Galapagos Islands, South Pacific Islands Cruise, Thailand, Dubai, Bali, Fiji, Iceland and India. India was in March, when the pandemic started and arrived back into Australia the day before Australia closed its borders.
