About me

I LOVE TRAVEL and as a teenager I knew that this was what I wanted to do for a career. I would love to constantly travel the globe, but unfortunately thats not practical, so I enjoy exploring the world though each of my clients itineraries. I have been part of the TravelManagers network since its inception in 2005. This allows me to provide personalised service to all my clients, whilst

still having the latest technology at my fingertips. Whether you are travelling for business or pleasure, I can assure you that I will research and put together an itinerary that is best suited to your individual needs. Travelling should be exciting, fun and stress free. From the time of quoting and booking, through to the time you return home, you can be at ease knowing I am only ever a phone call away. dream ~ escape ~ live

Does your Australian passport need to be renewed? This is reminder to check you passport expiration as most countries will required your passport to be valid for a minimum of 6months beyond your intended stay ✈️

On 1st July the cost of an Australian passport is going up by 15% and will see the coast at almost $400 for an adult. So if your passport has expired or if it needs renewing, now’s the time to act.

July also sees the start of a new fast-track system which will allow passport applications to be processed within five business days for a $100 fee. If you need a passport quickly but don’t want to pay the $252 urgent fee (for a passport issued in 2days), then this is perfect.

Are you dreaming of a Fiji family getaway? 🇫🇯 🌴 The lovely Wells family did exactly that! They had waited a very long time and finally had their Fijian holiday over Easter and also celebrated a milestone birthday.

Staying at the Radisson Blu Fiji Resort in a 2 Bedroom suite gave them the added space that they needed. You can tell by the photos and the kind review that they had a fabulous time and are already planning to return.

If a relaxing and fun Fiji holiday sounds just like what you are looking for, I’d love to hear from you!

Celebrity EDGE is a stunning ship 🛳️ Just about finished the season here and I was so happy to finally get on board today to have a look around and have lunch. The weather was pretty awful in Sydney, but the ship certainly didn’t disappoint.

So many spacious areas to relax in, many dining options too - with 4 main dining restaurants included in the cruise fare. Large and spacious staterooms and suites. Feels like a lovely boutique hotel with just over 2900 passengers on board. She is heading off to sail Alaska’s Inside Passage next week, but she will return again next season to Australia.

Definitely a ship to consider if you want that wow factor ✨

Hotel Indigo Dresden, Germany 🇩🇪 thought I would share this little gem I stayed in! Recommended to me by a colleague, this boutique hotel did not disappoint.

I stayed in Premium City View Room and it was very well appointed. There was enough bench space for 2 medium suitcases, plus great cupboard storage. Bathroom was also a great size with walk in shower.

The staff couldn’t be more helpful. There is a restaurant for breakfast and a bar that serves snacks in the evening. A couple of restaurants nearby along with a bakery/cafe next door.

We arrived to Dresden via rail and caught a tram to nearby the with about a 600m walk. Then walking into the old town was around 10mins by flat walk. Very easy!

Another property I would have no hesitation in recommending to my clients ⭐️

Dresden, Germany 🇩🇪 is rich in history from the city’s destruction in WW2. It is situated on the Elbe River (which was flooded) and lots to see around the Old Town (Altstadt). Beautiful architecture, castles, art, and a hop on hop off bus to make sure we saw everything. It was also veeeery cold here 🥶

Adina Checkpoint Charlie Berlin, Germany 🇩🇪 I have used this property numerous times for clients and always had great feedback so wanted to stay here for myself.

We had a 1 Bedroom Apartment and as you can see it has kitchenette and a washing machine and dryer. The smaller Studio apartments do not have a washer/dryer. There are also 2 bedroom apartments. We had so much room, the apartment was very spacious and comfortable.

The property has a 24hr reception, a snack pantry where you can purchase goodies, they offer breakfast in the restaurant (in my opinion this was very lacking for the price), a bar with small menu, gym and lap pool. There is also a supermarket within a 5min walk which is very handy.

Happy to answer any other questions, it’s a great property and location.

Marrols Boutique Hotel, Bratislava 🇸🇰 Thought I would share this lovely property that I stayed in recently. With 54 rooms, this hotel is located in the historic old town. Walking distance to almost everything or public transport easily accessible too.

We had a Premium Queen Room and the rate included breakfast and a drink at the bar. The room was very comfortable and breakfast was great with a big variety of hot and cold selections.

A great property with friendly and attentive staff that I would have no hesitation in recommending to any of my clients.

Regensburg Germany 🇩🇪 was our day trip from Munich on Christmas Eve. The 4th largest town in the state of Bavaria, Regensburg is a town on the Danube river with a medieval feel and only 1.5hrs by train. The water is really high and the town is preparing for it to go even higher. Being Christmas Eve it was very quiet with almost everything closed. A great day out nonetheless.

Valencia, Spain 🇪🇸 here is a snapshot from my time there. What a surprise, loved it! Valencia is Spain’s 3rd largest city and had a such a great vibe. We ate and drank … tapas, horchata, fartons, pinchos, aigua de Valencia 🍹, patatas bravas, Albondigas and more.

We visited the city gates, el Mercat (market), the beautiful plazas, Museu de les Ciències site, Museu Faller, La Lonja, the beach and saw the Holy Grail (credited as being the actual one). I’m sure there was more we saw, it was a busy few days.

Definitely worth a stop if you are planning a visit to Spain!

Royal Palace of Madrid 🇪🇸 is the largest palace in Western Europe and one of the largest in the world. Standing for nearly three centuries, it is where the daily operations of the palace are conducted. Entry from €12 per person is worth the small fee to wander through some sections. 👑

Tallinn, Estonia 🇪🇪 Today we look the 2.5hr ferry from Helsinki to Tallinn. Tallinn is a medieval town with a fairytale feel. Very cold at -8° but everyone was out and about for the Christmas Markets held in the Old Town. If you travel to Helsinki add a day trip to Tallinn, it is well worth the effort.

1. Snowing and -8° ❄️ 🥶
2. Port gate
3. St Olav’s Church
4. One of many colourful, intricate doors
5. Parliament of Estonia
6. Winter wonderland
7. View of the Old Town of Tallinn
8. Mulled Wine
9. Beautiful stands at the Christmas Markets
10. Christmas Markets in the Old Town of Tallinn

Tallinn has been on my travel list for a while, glad to have ticked it off the list ✅

3. Sake barrels at Menji Shrine
4. Popular for young people to wear traditional dress, many having photo shoots.

8. Sky Tree, Asahi building (designed to look like a beer)
9. Harajuku style dressing
10. Sunset view of Tokyo Tower with views to Mt Fuji in the distance.

A fab couple of days and great weather too!
