“Travel changes you. As you move through this life and this world you change things slightly, you leave marks behind, however small. And in return, life – and travel – leaves marks on you.“ – Anthony Bourdain (chef, author, TV personality)
The above quote sums up what I think travel should be about.
I believe that travelling broadens your mind. We live in a world that is full of adventure, charm and beauty and it’s one of those life experiences that we should not miss out on.
I am no different to you as a traveller. When the holiday idea triggers, I buy travel guides, I watch documentaries, immerse myself in the cuisine of the country I’m planning to visit, I start learning phrases and the world globe in my lounge room starts spinning!
Travel is for everyone, whether you’re ticking off your bucket list, honeymooners, looking for a cultural experience or a family wanting nothing more than a week in Hawaii to relax, shop, eat, swim and play. If you have the travel bug then we have something in common.
If you’re a foodie, then you’re in luck. I specialise in Food and Wine / Culinary / Cooking tours and itineraries every from Europe, Asia, Mexico, Central & South America to Africa. The tours I offer are always more of an immersive experience that will let you interact with the destination not just look at it. You will get to taste and learn about different flavours by visiting a cooking school, going on a street food tour, visiting a local produce market, eating at authentic ethnic eateries, or indulging at a fine dining restaurant. There are also Culinary cruises where you can experience a world of food with world renowned chefs. They will share their expertise through personal cooking demonstrations, special menus and themed dinners. You can join shore excursions to see the sights as well as taste local authentic food and wine.
You can rest assured that you are booking with a professional and fully qualified Personal Travel Manager. I have many years of experience working in different parts of the Travel industry – retail, wholesale, corporate and group travel and also pride myself for continual up skilling to keep up to date across all facets within the changing face of travel. By far my favourite part is running my own business with Travel Managers.

My job is to talk about travel all day and plan my client’s holidays. It might start over a coffee at a café or at your house. Some interstate clients have completed bookings purely online and over the phone!
Once you make contact with me, we can start with a casual chat and when you are ready to start planning, we will work together to design the holiday you want. I’m also there for inspiration when you are stuck for ideas. I will advise the best way to travel there (fly, sail, cruise, train or car), where to stay (hotel, villa, apartments, luxury lodges) and what to do when you get there (shopping, museums, art galleries, beaches & swimming, visit historic monuments, eat-drink, sports packages, spas, adventure activities). You might need a visa to travel where you want to go and you will definitely need travel insurance. I will even make a restaurant reservation for that special occasion!
I make every booking special to you whether it’s a weekend away to Fiji, or a long stretched European summer. I am sincere and practical and will offer you my honest opinion whenever I plan your trip. My personal knowledge, secret hints and 24 hour help ensures that your travel plans are seamless and can be adjusted if the unexpected happens.
Peace of mind
