Wishing you and your family a safe and Happy Christmas. I hope you get some time to unwind and enjoy the things you love. Thank you for your continued support throughout this year.

I look forward to sharing holiday ideas both near and far, amazing places to visit, and of course looking after all your travel needs in 2022.

Today was a massive day in my business.
I had my first clients depart for an overseas trip in 622 days.

To say the last 622 days has been difficult is an understatement, but what I see now is hope.
Hope that the domestic boarders will stay open, hope that more of my clients will be able to travel overseas and hope that the business I have stood by for the last 2 years will survivor.
I am still working part time at Ascot Vale Osteopathy to make ends meet, so I may not be easily accessible to reach at the moment, but I attend to my emails regularly.

It’s currently a new world of travel, but I’m here to help navigate all the rules and procedures needed for overseas travel.

It’s been almost 12 months since COVID-19 was declared a global pandemic and I wanted to get in touch to check how you are and give you an update on my business.

It has certainly been a challenging time. Since the pandemic began, I have spent hundreds of hours sourcing refunds and credits from suppliers across the globe on behalf of my clients. To date, Australian travel advisors have successfully repatriated six out of ten billion dollars in refunds due from overseas. This work continues, both personally and across the whole industry.

The closure of our international borders and the continued unpredictability of our domestic borders has also impacted my business significantly. We have been hoping for a travel bubble between Australia and neighbouring countries since the middle of last year but have repeatedly seen those options pushed back when new cases have occurred. Fortunately, I’ve been working part time as a clinic coordinator at Ascot Vale Osteopathy which I feel very grateful for and it has kept me on my feet and kept my spirits lifted. This has also allowed me to keep my business open, afloat and enable me to assist clients where there are ongoing issues with suppliers until we start to see signs of recovery.

One year on, I find myself sitting back and reflecting on why I’m still here; why I’m pushing on despite the hurdles; and why I’m excited about the future of travel and your and my participation. It all comes back to the quote… “remember why you started”. I started because I love travel, it’s in my DNA, and I wanted to share that passion with as many people as possible. And while the opportunity to clear customs (and at times our own driveways) has been on hold for longer than hoped, my passion remains. It’s not hard to remind myself of this… my phone’s camera roll and Instagram is a quick reminder of landscapes that made me gasp, food that brought me near tears, and people that made me feel like I was somehow home.

Australians are itching to travel again, and I’m eager to be there and make it happen when we get the green light. It’s difficult to know exactly when that will be, but I am keeping up to date with the latest information. What I am confident of though, is that 2022 will be a bumper year and I have my sights firmly set on the recovery it will bring.

I would love to hear from you, learn what’s been happening in your life and chat about your travel plans. I’m still here and available to help you get going, whether it’s planning for something big in 2022 or seeing a little more of our own backyard this year. And what a lucky bunch we are to have the spectacular backyard we do.

personally yours,
Virginia
💙🧡💛💚
