Hi! I've realised I'm very behind on updating this Travel page - the best place to follow my own adventures is on Instagram at , but I promise to update this page more frequently for my travellers.

Thankyou to my amazing clients for keeping me very occupied this year! It is always such a pleasure to help you with your getaways, so please reach out for your next holiday and be sure to spread the word to your family and friends! My office will soon have another Tara, so please be sure to mention my full name to your friends when referring - Tara Thillainath - or pass along my email address.

Over the past year, I've embarked on some of my dream bucketlist adventures - why put off for the future what you can achieve today! I've visited the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt (with Intrepid Travel ), experienced sunrise at the Taj Mahal in India (and spotted an elusive Tiger) (with Luxury Gold Vacations), and hiked to the heavens at the Ancient city of Petra (with Topdeck Travel ). I love being able to give first hand experience and advice to my travellers!

Please reach out for your next trip and I look forward to sending you to amazing destinations! ✈️

Paris - followed by a trip to the wine region and famous riviera!
Stockholm - followed by an epic Scandi tour (hello midnight sun)
Madrid - with a Spain Portugal and Morocco adventure
Munich - followed by a Balkans getaway

Had such a beautiful stay at Hyatt Regency Bali - a tropical oasis! 🌴🥥

This classic Balinese hotel was closed for renovations for over 5 years and only reopened in 2019. The room features feel so luxe and new, and the hotel facilities are so well equipped - it feels like such a modern resort but with the perfect Balinese ambience!

The local Sanur surrounds have matured with this area as well, with a number of amazing restaurants, bars and spas popping up along the beach boardwalk since my last visit. It is also one of the best spots in Bali for sunrise as it faces east!
This will forever be my favourite area of Bali and one I will continue to return to, time and time again 💓🌸

TRAVEL is back and booming - how exciting! ✈️😍

In June, I headed over to Vietnam ( Huế and Hội An) and Singapore for a relaxing few weeks away, and it was oh so special! Upon returning to the office, my thrill for sending travellers on amazing getaways is greater than ever - it makes me so so happy to see my clients heading away on their bucketlist adventures or to reunite with family overseas.

Travellers are realising how necessary an advisor is for their travel experience, with many airlines experiencing disruptions, cancellations or delays, and so much more research required for successful travel. Thankfully, my clients have not noticed the travel chaos, as they have myself and my experienced team available to them - we have direct access to the airline's availability, so if you aren't happy with your airline's schedule change, I'll provide you with all of your alternative options, or if you need assistance, I have the ability to change or cancel an airfare for you in seconds!

If you have any questions about the service I provide, please feel free to reach out with a message or email me at [email protected] , and of course, if you have any family or friends looking to travel, please feel free to pass on my details!

Bring on an exciting year ahead of amazing adventures! ✈️😍

Earlier this month, I returned from my first International getaway since 2020 - I spent a week in beautiful Fiji! 🌴🐠

It felt so surreal, to be dusting off my passport, sitting in a departure lounge, flying away from Australia, entering a new country and experiencing a new culture once again!

There are more elements to consider for travel these days - each country has different travel restrictions, testing requirements to complete, forms to fill out, apps to download, and protocols to follow - and this is exactly why I’m here to help make the process seamless for you! Airline schedules are also changing like crazy, and wait times to get through to airlines are lengthy - luckily, I can quote a change and amend your flight plans in just a few clicks!

My travellers are getting out there and exploring this beautiful planet once again, and I could not be happier!

Please feel free to share my details with your family and friends and reach out for your next getaway - the world has been waiting for you 🌍✈️🙂
