Australia Travel Expert

Australia Travel Expert I have a passion for Australia. I am uniquely honored to be a Premier Aussie Specialist with Tourism Australia. Designing custom vacation itineraries.

Visit Boomerang Escapes for more information. You will also find my book, Awakened in Australia, there. I was born with travel in my blood. Having moved since birth, living in ten different states, I have a natural wandering soul. I love change and all things new. My passion: Australia! I have been in love with this country for as long as I can remember. Every school report was written about one

of its unique and amazing animals. My room was filled with stuffed koalas and even a koala latch hook rug. I had (still have) a collection of picture clippings from magazines. But, it truly began, in 2008, when I was introduced to the travel industry and became an independent travel consultant. In 2010, I stumbled upon Tourism Australia’s website and entered their Aussie specialist program. In 2011, I was contacted by them and offered a chance of a lifetime to travel to Australia for a tour, followed by Coroborree (A gathering of agents and operators for intense product training and fun!). I could hardly contain my excitement! When I arrived in Sydney and within hours laid hands and eyes on a koala, I was brought to tears. I was forever changed by my trip “down under”. My hope is to share this love and passion with you. I truly believe travel transforms us and broadens our love and appreciation for life. I currently reside in Old Bridge, NJ after spending the last 13 years in TN. I am mom to three amazing teenagers. In my spare time I love being involved with my children’s activities, working out, bowling, cooking, and socializing poolside with friends. In 2015, my love of fitness and travel collided to create Be Fit To Travel. Be Fit To Travel has become an extension of Boomerang Escapes-Return to Your Happy Place. I am not only here to send you on the most fabulous escapes ever, but can also guide you to looking and feeling great when you travel. My goal is to inspire people to stay young, active, healthy, and ready for adventure...creating transformations of the mind, body, and soul through diet, exercise, and travel.

Finding ideas for an Australia vacation is the easy part.

Sydney. The Great Barrier Reef. Kangaroo Island. Uluru. The Whitsundays. Melbourne. The Great Ocean Road.

There is no shortage of incredible places telling you, “Add me to the list.”

The harder part is figuring out which ones belong on your trip.

How much time do you have?
What time of year are you traveling?
How much moving around do you actually enjoy?
What experiences matter most to you?

I've planned enough Australia trips—and taken enough of my own—to know that a great itinerary isn't about squeezing in the most places.

It's about putting together the right places, in the right order, for the right traveler.

That's where Australia starts becoming your Australia. 💙

If you were planning your first trip, what's the ONE place or experience you wouldn't want to miss?

One thing all my trips to Australia have taught me: you don't have to see everything.

Australia is huge. And one of the easiest mistakes to make is looking at a map, picking all the places you've heard of, and trying to squeeze them into one trip.

More stops don't necessarily mean a better vacation.

Sometimes that extra night in one place gives you time for the experience you didn't know about. Or a morning with nowhere you have to be. Or the chance to actually enjoy where you are instead of packing another suitcase.

I've traveled Australia many times, and I still haven't seen it all.

And honestly? That's part of what keeps me going back. 💙🇦🇺

Save this for when you start planning your Australia trip.

Some travel moments need absolutely no explanation. 💙🇦🇺

This is one of them.

I could spend all day watching Australia's wildlife — and apparently my camera roll proves it. 😂

Follow along for more of the Australia I can't stop going back to.

🐨 September is Save the Koala Month — so you know I couldn't let the month begin without talking about one of Australia's most iconic residents.

No matter how many times I visit Australia, seeing a koala still gets me.

I've been lucky enough to see them in wildlife sanctuaries and out in the wild, and there's something pretty special about spotting one tucked into a eucalyptus tree when you're not expecting it.

September is a month dedicated to raising awareness about koalas and the importance of protecting their habitat.

So yes, you'll probably see a few extra koalas around here this month. 🐨💙

But really... is there such a thing as too many koalas?

Have you ever seen a koala in person?

There’s a big difference between dreaming about Australia and actually figuring out how to make the trip work. 🇦🇺

How long should you go?

Which places make sense together?

What should you skip?

Where should you splurge?

And how do you fit everything you want to experience into the time you actually have?

That’s the part I love.

I’ve traveled Australia again and again, and I use that firsthand experience to help my clients create a trip that makes sense for them — not just check off a list of places everyone says they should see.

If Australia is more than a “someday” trip for you and you’re ready to start seriously planning, I’d love to help.

Visit the link in my bio to explore my website, see sample itineraries, and schedule an initial planning conversation with me.

Let’s figure out what your Australia should look like.

Australia has a way of starting as “someday.” 🇦🇺

Someday we’ll see Sydney.

Someday we’ll snorkel the Great Barrier Reef.

Someday we’ll find beaches like this one.

And then one day you realize… maybe it’s time to actually figure out how to make it happen.

The hardest part for most people isn’t deciding they want to go.

It’s figuring out where to start.

Australia is huge, and deciding what you can realistically see in two or three weeks can get overwhelming very quickly.

That’s exactly why I created my free Australia Vacation Planner.

It gives you a place to start sorting through the possibilities before you’re ready to get into the actual trip planning.

Sometimes the best part of Australia is saying yes to something you weren't expecting to do. 🇦🇺

Yes, those are my feet.

And yes, that's a pool noodle floating in front of me. 😂

No wetsuit. Just my snorkel gear and a pool noodle — because it makes it a whole lot easier for me to balance while I'm trying to take photos underwater.

Some of my favorite Australia memories aren't always the big iconic sights. They're the things I tried and the moments that made me think, well, I didn't see this coming.

So here's my question...

When you travel, are you the "I'll try it!" person — or the "I'll watch you from over here" person? 😂

I'm definitely an I'll-try-it person.

Australia isn't a trip I recommend piecing together one Google search at a time. 🇦🇺

There are just too many decisions that affect everything else.

How long should you go? Which regions actually fit the way you like to travel? How much time do you need in each place? And which experiences are worth building the trip around?

Because Australia can look like this...

But figuring out how to fit places like this into a trip that actually flows? That's where the planning comes in.

That's the part I love.

I take all those ideas floating around in your head and turn them into an itinerary that makes sense for you, your time, and the way you want to experience Australia.

If Australia is on your radar for the end of 2026, 2027, or 2028 and you're ready to start figuring out what your trip could actually look like, visit the link in my bio and schedule a planning conversation with me.

One of the things I love about Australia is how some of the smallest moments become part of your travel story.

This was Beechworth in 2011 — and the place where I had my very first Australian meat pie. 🇦🇺🥧

At the time, I certainly didn't know how many more meat pies I'd eat 😂 — or how many times I'd return to Australia.

But that's what I love about looking back at photos from that first trip. The big sights were incredible, but it's often the little stops, small towns, and everyday experiences that I remember just as much.

And they're exactly the kinds of things I love working into my clients' trips today.

Australia is so much more than checking Sydney, the Reef, and a koala off a list.
