I booked my first overseas trip with House of Travel so it's a pretty surreal feeling that I get to be a part of the team now. I have a real love for travel from Paragliding in Austria, Train trips through Japan to VIP parties in Las Vegas.

She met me at short notice on a Friday afternoon, explored all our options for a first holiday to Raro & even called us back on a Sunday to answer an inquiry. Super welcoming, professional & efficient & had our holiday all booked in 3 days! Definitely highly recommend our go to travel agent.
