I have a pretty broad spectrum of knowledge on many destinations, I would like to say that I would have more knowledge of the places I have travelled but for example I have booked Vietnam that many times that I know a fair bit about it as a destination, but have never been there… it’s on my list.

I have a soft spot for Thailand as I met my husband there, I love the people and the beaches and the culture AND the food, but I also loved Canada, and would love to go back.. and of course the history of Europe.

Have Fun, be open minded and remember all your experiences make for a good story, we are all better off as Human beings when we have travelled and experienced all walks of life and Cultures, 20 years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did.

Travel agents save you time – Time in our most precious commodity and yet hours can be spent properly researching a holiday. With the amount of conflicting information available online, it’s easy to quickly get overwhelmed and confused. Many times, the questions travellers have are one that agents can answer right off the top of our heads thanks to our years of experience and great team environment. We know who and how to reach out to in order to get the job done, saving you hours of frustration and money.

It is much easier to explain to a local driver where you want to go.

What interested me about being a consultant was that I loved traveling and learning about new countries.
New Zealand, China, Hawaii, America and Canada.
America is my specific area of expertise as I have been there a few times.
I love most places I have travelled to as every place is different in its own way. I love America for all the amazing cities and love China for the cultural experience.
