Honestly, it won’t cost you ANYTHING to use me as a travel agent. The commission is paid to me by the travel company, and I price match the online costs so theres no sneaky additional fees.

It’s a no brainer really, you don’t have to do the leg work of searching for the right holiday, booking the holiday, contacting support if there are any changes/issues etc… it all comes through me.

PLUS, you get the extra benefit of getting some first-hand info from someone who’s been to over 50 countries! That’s a lot of valuable info.

Just pop me a message if you’re starting to look at/book any holidays for 2026 ✈️🌍

We visited Japan back in 2023 when Adelaide was only 18 months old and I've recently planned another trip here almost identical for a client and their 10 month old baby.

We had the best time and it was such an amazing country to visit - if you're interested in planning out 2 weeks in Japan (with OR without kids) then take a read or reach out to me.

April (aka cherry blossom season) isn't far away so there's still time to get something booked for next year!

If you're planning on a family trip to Japan, Spring is THE perfect time to go! Here's how you can spend 2 weeks in Japan with kids in April!
