Lovely to meet you

My travel story started at a young age dreaming of travelling the world and in my early 20’s I set off on my OE to UK/Europe which was the most wonderful experience with some cherished memories.

I have now been a travel consultant for 19 years, and have loved helping clients to realize their travel dreams.  Through the many travel opportunities I have been lucky enough to experience over the years this has given me the skills and knowledge to help clients with their travel.  I am not only here to help plan their holidays but am here for them through the whole travel process.

Some of my favourite travel experiences have been visiting Machu Picchu and the Galapagos Islands, walking along the Great Wall of China, cruising through the islands of Tahiti, travelling the length of Vietnam and most recently river cruising through Europe just to name a few.  I have always  enjoyed visiting different places and learning about different cultures and there is still so much more to see.

    Trekking in Peru was the hardest thing I have ever done but worth it at the end to see beautiful Machu Picchu.
