Virginia Stace | Personal Travel Manager - Naremburn, NSW

Hello, My name is Virginia Stace.

I joined TravelManagers in 2015 having had many years in the travel industry since leaving school in NZ in 1967.

Travel is my life!

Throughout my career I’ve had experience in Corporate Travel, Events & Trade Fairs, and specialised small group art workshops.

(I’m also a sculptor and have exhibited in both the Willoughby Art Prize and the Hornsby Art Prize).

Now I deal predominately in leisure travel, piecing together the travel jigsaw with many components providing my clients with stress free and memorable experiences.

I have been arranging travel for some of my clients for over 40 years!

Most of my complex itineraries these days include competitively priced airfares, a river or ocean cruise, various accommodations throughout the itinerary including stopovers, and … importantly the finishing touches such as prepaid private transfers (eliminating the problem of foreign currency when first arriving in a foreign city), local city excursions and even theatre tickets to your chosen show.

Attention to detail for me is imperative, and I offer a complete, personalised and specialised service.

To start planning your next trip, you can email me at [email protected] or call me on 1300 023 347.

Where I've Travelled

I’ve travelled extensively throughout the world, including Europe, UK, USA, Canada, China, Asia, South Africa, South America, South Pacific, NZ, Egypt, Jordan, India, Japan, Alaska and most recently Antarctica which was truly amazing.

I love the experience of flying, but more recently have treated myself to small ship luxury cruising (I have sailed with Seabourn four times – over 130 days at sea!) I have to say there is something to be said about unpacking once rather than in and out of airports and hotels. I’m planning my next cruise which will be to the Arctic & Northern Scandanavia.

Destinations I'm Passionate About

I LOVE Europe – the various cultures and languages fascinate me. Apart from booking wonderful European itineraries for my clients I own a ‘rustic’ 600 year old stone house in a tiny village in the hills of Mallorca, Spain. Having had my holidays there for many of the past 25 years I am regarded as one of the village people, and unlock the door each year as my ‘home away from home’… It’s wonderful!

My experience living in a small village with multi-generational Spanish families is a wonderful part of my life. I was lucky enough to be introduced to it in the early 1990’s and have enjoyed living like a local on my holidays ever since.

As a mobile Travel Manager I can even work from there and enjoy Spanish village life at the same time!

I have also travelled extensively in Central Europe with my corporate clients to trade fairs in Basel in Switzerland and Dusseldorf in Germany, and over the years participated in four different painting workshops in Italy covering Tuscany, Lake Como & Florence, Cinque Terre & Amalfi Coast and Sicily.
