About Me:

From the moment I first saw a picture of Santorini’s white buildings and azure oceans, I became hooked on the idea of travel. Still haven’t been there, but hey, gotta have a dream, right?! I have been in the travel industry for a total of 16 years, and have had a short stint out of the industry whilst having children. After spending the last 4 years in a retail travel agency, I made the move to TravelManagers in 2007 and have not looked back. 

Services Provided:

As with most TravelManagers, I offer a personalised travel service, where I either meet with my clients in their home, office, or somewhere in between.  I am also happy to do business via email and phone. Whilst my office hours are generally from 9am to 4pm Monday to Thursday, I am available after these hours by appointment, and of course via mobile phone in an emergency. 

Specialties:

Cruising and Group Travel are my specialties, however I can assist you with all aspects of your travel. Group Travel can be a daunting task for the group leader, and I love being able to take the stress out of this role by managing the groups entire event, whether it just be flights and accommodation, or if it also includes conferences, gala dinners, music performances or sports matches with the locals. I can even source a speaker for your event, and arrange freight of instruments or sporting equipment. Information evenings are an integral part of this process, so that the group members can be kept up to date with what is happening with their trip, and can also be a fun way for group members to meet each other and get to know each other.

Cruising is another passion of mine, and my whole family are keen cruisers. I have completed my ICCA training, which gives me an International Cruise Council of Australasia Accredited Cruise Consultant listing. I am able to match the perfect cruise for your personal circumstances, and make sure that your expectations for your upcoming cruise holiday are met. I have personally cruised 7 times, I have inspected over 15 different ships, and completed both Royal Caribbean and Princess Cruises' in-house cruise training.
