Rachael Albert, Travel Advisor 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.

Uniworld has partnered with Golden Eagle Luxury Trains to bring you an extraordinary way to experience Europe – combining the elegance of boutique river cruising with the romance of private luxury rail travel.

One such itinerary takes you from Venice to Istanbul. Sail in all-inclusive comfort along the waterways of Venice and beyond aboard the S.S. La Venezia, before boarding the Golden Eagle Danube Express – your private train with stylish en-suite cabins, refined dining, and ever-changing views of Europe unfolding outside your window.

This is travel at its most indulgent: from a private evening at St Mark’s Basilica to exploring historic cities across the Balkans, before arriving in vibrant Istanbul. Along the way, enjoy curated excursions, fine cuisine, and the seamless service for which Uniworld and Golden Eagle are renowned.

A true once-in-a-lifetime journey that pairs two luxury travel icons into one unforgettable adventure. Find out more here 👉 bit.ly/WTEunicr

Human vs AI — when it comes to travel, there’s no contest
AI can pull options in seconds, but it can’t guarantee they’re accurate, available, or even bookable. It won’t rebook you when flights are cancelled, and it certainly won’t advocate for you if things go wrong. A travel agent does all that — and more. Because when it’s your holiday on the line, nothing beats having a real expert in your corner.

Thinking about your next flight?
You’re not alone if comfort matters more than before!

New data from IATA (International Air Transport Association) shows that growth in premium cabins — Business and Premium Economy — is outpacing traditional Economy travel worldwide. More travellers are choosing extra space, comfort, and service on their journeys.
After all, the flight is part of the journey, and enjoying it can set the tone for your whole trip.
Have you considered upgrading your next flight experience? Whether it’s more legroom, a fully flat bed, or priority service, sometimes a little extra makes all the difference.
Chat to us if you’re curious to explore your options for your next trip.

Are you a UK passport holder now living in New Zealand and planning a trip back home?

Under the reciprocal health agreement New Zealand has with the UK, all New Zealand passport holders are covered for emergency healthcare. However, if you’re still using your British passport and don’t hold a New Zealand passport, you’re not covered under this agreement.

In addition, if you’re a British citizen who no longer resides in the UK, you cannot access free healthcare when visiting. We highly recommend taking out travel insurance for the entire duration of your trip to ensure you’re fully protected for any unforeseen circumstances.

🌿 Sri Lanka: Where Culture, Nature & Calm Collide 🇱🇰

There’s something quietly magical about Sri Lanka. One day you’re standing atop an ancient rock fortress, the next you're sipping tea in the highlands or watching wild elephants roam through golden grasslands. Add a few days on a palm-fringed beach, and suddenly, you’re wondering why you didn’t come sooner.

Our bespoke, privately guided Sri Lanka holidays are designed for curious, independent travellers who want more than just a sightseeing trip. These journeys give you the freedom to explore at your own pace, with expert local guides, seamless transfers, and carefully selected hotels throughout.

✨ 12-Day Adventure & Wildlife Tour from $3,199pp
Includes safaris in Yala, the famous train ride to Ella, Sigiriya, Kandy, village visits & more.

✨ 10-Day Sri Lanka Beach Stay from $1,839pp
Think boutique hotels, historic Galle Fort, laid-back Beruwala, and time to just be.

✈️ Add return flights with Malaysia Airlines from just $1519pp in Economy or $5119pp in Business Class when booked with your land package. Sale ends 2 September 2025.

From ancient wonders to wild escapes and warm hospitality, Sri Lanka is a destination that lingers long after the journey ends.
