Just got back from an incredible evening diving into the world of luxury travel! I attended a fantastic presentation featuring Abercrombie & Kent, Ponant, and Journey Beyond. 🌍✈️

From the opulent trains of The Ghan 🚂 to intimate luxury tours and off-the-beaten-path cruises 🌊, the insights were absolutely eye-opening. Learned so much about how these brands craft unforgettable experiences and cater to the discerning traveler. 💼🛳️

Feeling inspired and ready to start planning my next adventure! 🗺️✈️ If you're into exploring the world in style and comfort, let me know 🌟💼

🌺🌴 Aloha from paradise! 🌴🌺

I’m beyond thrilled to share these absolutely stunning photos from my wonderful clients’ recent unexpected visit to Hawaii.

They were due to travel to the beautiful Rocky Mountains 14 days ago when the terrible bush fires struck and cancelled their tour. We needed to fill in 10 days before the rest of their plans so what better place to fill in time then Hawaii. With a quick change of flights and new hotel booked they were on the way.

It was an absolute pleasure helping plan this getaway, and seeing these images just fills my heart with joy. Now onto the original plans of a stunning cruise to Alaska and getaway to Mexico. 🚢❄️🌵

Thank you for letting me be a part of your journey and for sharing these beautiful memories! I can't wait to see the next amazing photos.

Mahalo and safe travels! 🥥🌺

Fun Fact Friday!!

I stumbled upon this absolute gem of a photo from when I was around 8 years old. Me sitting with Mickey Mouse.😍🏠✨

I'm not sure when or where the photo was taken but it must have been somewhere in Australia as we did not travel overseas when I was a child.

Looking at this photo, I see how this moment must have been the spark for my lifelong Disney obsession and my dream of exploring every Disney Park.

How cute is little me, and how iconic is Mickey? 🎩🐭💫
I guess it’s no surprise that I’ve turned into the ultimate Disney fan! 😂🌈✨

Do you have any childhood photos that helped shape your passions? Share them with me! 📸💖

Travel Agent myth busting 🔍

Myth number 2-Travel Agents are Becoming Obsolete in the Digital Age 💻

FACT-In the age of online booking, the role of travel agents is often misunderstood. While technology has made information more accessible.
Travel agents bring expertise, personalisation, and time-saving benefits that automated systems can’t replicate. We can also provide insider insights, access to deals, and recommendations that enhance your travel experience. 💵⏰💲
