I love travel. With over 30 years industry experience and having traveled all over the world, let me help plan your next holiday.

I have had over 30 years in this industry and I still love it! I have had some amazing jobs that I have been lucky enough to travel the world with. I have stories upon stories of places I’ve been, people I’ve met and all things in between. I have lived in the United States and on an island in the Whitsunday’s of Australia (a hard job, but someone had to do it!). I have traveled to South America, t

he USA, Africa, Australia, most of the Pacific Islands, many places in Europe & lots of Asia. I believe you are never more alive than when you travel and I’d love to help you plan your next holiday. I also have a few corporate clients I look after, so if you travel a lot for business and are looking for someone who will make everything seamless for you, give me a call. Married to Kirk (who I met in the travel industry), we live in Milldale with our 2 girls - this affords me the luxury of being a working-from-home Mum who can still spend quality time with the kids! We love travelling as a family and have done quite a bit, so I have plenty of tips! I am proud to be an approved Broker for the Travel Managers Group which is IATA accredited and bonded.
