Limited availability

I hope everyone is well, just a heads up that I am getting extremely busy & each day inundated with new requests which is a great problem to have but I won't be able to help everyone so I may need to pass you onto another wonderful agent in my network who will look after you.

For the next 2 months I will only be taking on a small amount of new clients so if you are looking for help with a new booking please email me so I can see when I can fit you in.

I am away in Japan 🇯🇵 for 2 weeks at the end of the month so this also limits who I am able to help.

The best way to contact me is on email [email protected] , there is a few days wait at the moment so keep that in mind!

I wish I was super woman & could help you all 😍2025 is looking exciting for so many of you!

Happy Monday everyone! I'm sure some of you would have seen this already but as 2025 is only just over 5 weeks away this is just a reminder to those of you heading to the UK & Europe departing in 2025 that new ETA visas will be soon required.

✅Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA)
Australians will need an ETA to travel to the UK starting January 8, 2025. The ETA is a digital visa-waiver that allows multiple visits to the UK for up to six months at a time over two years. You can apply for an ETA online through the UK Government website or via the UK ETA app on your smartphone.

Applications open on November 27, 2024, and the ETA costs GBP10.

✅European Union's ETIAS
Most of Europe will also implement a visa-free/ETA system in 2025. The ETIAS will allow visa-free entry to 30 countries and will be valid for three years. The ETIAS application will ask for a lot of information, including your name, address, date of birth, parents' first names, level of education, occupation, travel details, and criminal convictions. The application process will cross-reference your information against international criminal and informational databases. The ETIAS was originally planned for January 2023, but has been postponed to 2025.

If you're traveling between Europe and the UK on the same trip, you'll need to pay for both an ETA and ETIAS

Hey Everyone, I just wanted to share this little gem 💎 with you!

Little Black Limo

We recently had Colin pick 6 of us up for airport transport here in Perth and it was perfect! Super comfortable sexy Mercedes Van, luggage trailer and if you want bubbles on board you can!

They also do weddings, events, Winery tours etc. Check Colin’s page out and I would highly recommend his services the next time you want to arrive in comfort and style. ❤️👌

Greece! 🇬🇷

Sorry this took me so long to post! 🤦🏼‍♀️

We spent 8 nights in Greece in September and it was a perfect time of year, less crowds as it was the end of season and the temperature was spot on! Even though it forecasted only about 23-25 it felt like 30+ 🙌🏼

The Greek people were so so friendly🥰 I didn’t have any had experiences so that was a huge plus!

We rented a convertible Smart Car in Santorini and a Convertible Mini in Mykonos which made the trip as we could go exploring on our own and it was so much fun! HOWEVER! Don’t trust google maps as we had some very interesting experiences where we ended up on farm roads or roads only made for a quad so that certainly raised the heart rate 😂😂😬😬 I do recommend packing light and getting the car from the port or airport as airport taxis were expensive!

The food and cocktails didn’t disappoint however it’s not for the budget traveller that’s for sure, I can say it’s one of the most expensive places I’ve travelled to but in saying that it was worth every cent and I would go back!

Our accommodation in both Santorini and Mykonos were perfect! In the edge of town to make it easy to get around, away from the masses of tourists and a short walk into the main area, Santorini was an absolute dream! We had the most spectacular views and it was very private so we didn’t have to go to the sunset restaurants we could grab a bottle of wine from the supermarket and sit on our balcony! I’m sure you can tell from the photos it was incredible!

Mykonos was a small boutique resort and we loved that it was small, all rooms had great views so it was a win for sure!

The beaches on both islands were great, the water was crystal clear we visited quite a few to check out the rental costs for sun beds and the general environment so I have all the tips and tricks!

If Greece is on your radar and you want me to put together a customised itinerary I would love to help! 🇬🇷♥️

I’ll add some videos of the Adamant Suites in Santorini where we stayed! I’ve already booked several clients to stay here next year!

Morning! I’m back from my trip and super excited to get all of your trips booked! I do love my holidays but I do miss the grind of booking you all! ♥️

I’ll share a bit of my trip in a few posts! Let’s start with this! We were lucky enough to fly Qatar first and business class! It was an amazing experience and something I hope you all one day get to try! I do book a lot of luxury travel and this is THE way to do it that’s for sure!

We got to dine together for a 4 course meal that included a caviar course! The on board team were incredible and I couldn’t fault their service, I have flown business with several airlines and Qatar are my fave that’s for sure! From Pjs, gorgeous amenity kits & a bar on board you won’t be disappointed 🙌🏼💯

If you ever get the opportunity DO IT! Where that’s paying for it, points redemptions or a sneaky upgrade that some airlines offer closer to the trip just go for it! 🙌🏼♥️

Reminder about importance of Insurance….

I’m sure we all have seen this many times in the news about someone in hospital overseas without insurance… not a great position for you or your family to be in.

I can’t stress this enough! Even if you just take out a medical and dental cover and skip the extra cover for personal items and cancellations etc it could save your life and potentially save your family the financial burden if good forbid something back happened to you.

On top of this a reminder that you need an international licence is alot easier for countries to be covered on insurance! You also need to make sure the CC size is on the moped is correct for your licence, wearing a helmet, not under the influence of drugs or alcohol and driving responsibility under that countries laws and regulations.

Many great policies out there but if you can’t afford insurance you can’t afford to travel it’s as simple as that.

I got back from Phuket last week & even though its wet season we had wonderful weather, a little update for you below. This was my 10th trip to Phuket & I have stayed in multiple locations so there is something for everyone!

✈️ Jetstar - The direct flight was really good, awesome times on both flights, extra leg rooms seats is a must, snacks & plenty of netflix downloaded on your phone to help the 6 hours pass, onboard service was great & nice new Neo planes.

🏖️ Kata Beach - We stayed at Club Med which is down on Kata beach which was lovely, quiet & clean with a bit of surf at this time of year which was great to watch, nice food markets which were great. The all inclusive experience wasn't what i was expecting but if you are happy for 3 buffet meals a day ( buffet was amazing ) & a cruise like feel around the resort with lots going on to keep the kids entertained and an open bar for Mum & dad then its great, I wouldn't recommend it to couples as its very family focused and lots of kids. They Day spa was very very good & really reasonably priced. The overall hotel price is a bit high for me to say its a winner but if it was on sale then it may work out ok but this is my opinion from the experience.

🏖️Karon Beach - We stayed at the Mandarava on the edge of Karon beach which is perched up on a hill with stunning views & landscapes, down side was the resort was a bit out of the way & a bit of a pain. I did feel Karon beach area to be a bit boring & not as nice as other areas & maybe a bit too spread out.

🏖️Patong - We ended up moving to the DoubleTree Hilton Banthai which is across from the beach in Patong, renovated rooms, great price for what you get but could use with a bit of upkeep but that's quite common is Asia. I know Patong gets a bit of a bad rep for its seedy nightlife but I think if you stay on the edges of the bay so you are not close to Bangla Road & don't venture that way late in the evening then it does have most things, great night food markets, great shopping markets, Jungceylon shopping mall, lots of restaurants and Patong is a great beach most of the year. On previous trips i did feel it was flooded with Russians but this trip i didn't feel that way there was a mix of all travellers. It is a very busy area though so I personally prefer to break it up with a quieter area so you get the best of both.

✅ Great thing about Phuket is a lot of the activities are not of a long drive away, in 30 minutes drive we were at Hanuman World Zip Lining & it was an awesome half day activity, tree top zip lines, sky tree walks, Luges , roller ziplines etc great for all ages. Lots of other activities you can do on the island that are not far away & a great half day activity. Of course there are all the full day trips to the Islands OR why not split the trip up & stay a couple of nights oh Koh Yao, Phi Phi etc.

With the direct flights making Phuket more accessible consider it for your next trip & let me create you your next Thailand holiday!❤️✈️🏖️

Something different today! A video update 😂

I know many of you mainly deal with me over emails so thought it was about time I did a video, 1000 takes later 🫣

If you manage to watch the full 90 seconds thank you! Secretly I’m quite shy 🙈 so this took a bit of courage!

Thanks for all your support for the first half of the year it’s been amazing to be your agent of choice for these incredible trips! Thank you ♥️

I’m back from my sneaky Bali getaway and well and truly relaxed! I forgot how relaxing Nusa Dua really is!

A little update for you!

⭐️ Bali arrival gates-
I know many of you have already used these but for those who haven’t yet they are an absolute breeze and make arriving into Bali so quick! It took us 10 minutes from walking off the aircraft to luggage collection! You do need to pre do the visa online prior to arrival but I found that process quite easy! Then of course you need the customs form and tourism levy.

⭐️ Nusa Dua
I looked at multiple hotels during my visit & we stayed at the Sofitel Nusa Dua in a pool access room, there are a lot still in need of a renovation as the photos don’t always tell the true story, however still lovely I expected a little more when comparing to their website pics, Melia Nusa Dua is a big hit with many of you and it’s closing this October and when reopening in July 2025 🤞 it will become Paradisus By Melia which is set to bring a new high standard in All inclusive so I’m super excited to see what they do.

I still think splitting time up and finishing with 2-3 nights in Nusa Dua or Sanur to relax in a more chill area as Legian and Seminyak can be FULL ON!

⭐️ Potato Head Suites
We stayed 2 nights here in Seminyak in their ocean front studio and WOW! 🤩 the hotel is so unique and the experience from check in to check out was awesome! 🙌🏼 the rooms are stunning, little gifts from staff to take home, delish snacks and fresh juice is topped up for no additional and the views are incredible at sunset! Our room even had a full bar set up with recipe cards in to make drinks! 🍸

⭐️2025
I am already booking 2025 trips for many of you but just a reminder that most of the time you are getting a better deal to pre plan and book ahead! School holidays is a given for pre booking about 10 months ahead to get better deals.

Many people think 🤔 I don’t need an agent to book Bali but if that was the case I wouldn’t be this busy booking Bali like crazy and repeat clients multiple times a year! Bali is my jam! I have been there WELL over 40 times, I’ve lost count! I’ve stayed in many hotels / areas and I always make time to do site inspections to further my experience and knowledge !

Anyway just a wee little update for you all, I better crack on with my day and get bookings done! ❤️

Check your passports peeps!

I hope everyone is well! Just want to send a friendly reminder to check how your passport is looking!👀 is there wear and tear? Is there pen marks 😬 , water damage etc?? Don’t risk it!

I’ve had many clients forget to check their expiry dates on their passport and forgetting that you need 6 months from the trip return date.

Not realising their passport is damaged and is at risk of being denied at the airport and TRUST ME it happens!

As of 1st July the cost for a new passport is increasing so NOW is the time to check and get that passport renewal sent off!

I’m off to Bali for a week for R&R chat soon!

🫶🏼😍

I am back from Mauritius & I wanted to give you all a run down

So for those who dont know Mauritius is a tiny island off the coast of Africa so it's not your typical Island holiday like in Asia for example. The island may be tiny but it takes a long time to get from point to point, as an idea 60 kms last week took us about 2 hours. The Island has a stunning coastline and each area is slightly different so that's where I come in to make sure you are in the right part of Mauritius for the holiday you are after.

Most of the hotels offer Half board to All inclusive & you need it, you can't just walk out the resort to find restaurants, bars & markets you mainly stay at the resort to relax and take in what they have to offer you, most have plenty of activities on offer to keep you busy if you are after more than laxing by the pool. There is one area with a bit more happening out of the resorts but not necessary to stay in that location in my opinion.

Sightseeing there are a few great things you can do, The Zipline/Quad was super fun & they also have hiking options with waterfalls, there are stunning catamaran trips to see dolphins & sea life & if you like Golf they have beautiful golf courses.

Overall it is a great place to visit, the island is very clean, not overcrowded at all, the people are so wonderful & it is very picturesque. Price wise I would put Mauritius in the higher end of the market as you wouldnt want to go budget in the accommodation TRUST ME. Air Mauritius also fly to Africa & Europe so its also a great option as a stop on the way home!

Some photos of the trip I haven't posted, if you think Mauritius might be for you let me know & I can assist with a package.

LUX* Grand Baie

We stopped by and did a short inspection of another Lux property but on the west coast. I was surprised how different it was to the Belle Mare as this one had more of an industrial vibe but let me tell you it did not disappoint!!

The gym had a full spin class room which I was wowed with, again another stunning day spa and the rooms were stunning! They also had a nightclub which I didn’t expect!

The photos talk for them selves!

20/03/2024

LUX* Mauritius

I had the pleasure of staying at this incredible property on the East Coast of Mauritius!

Stunning rooms and villas, wonderful staff that are so accommodating and make excellent cocktails! The food WOW! 😮

I felt relaxed as soon as we arrived and didn’t want to leave, the day spa was one of the best I’ve seen and an excellent gym with all new top equipment.

It’s certainly not on the lower end price wise as it’s a top 5 ⭐️ but you do really get what you pay for. Quality and service all the way for the most enjoyable stay!

Travel is a gift - Why book with me?

Thanks for adding my page! I have been a travel agent since 2011 & it was 100% my calling!

I used to be one of those people who always said I would never use an agent or I can just do it all myself but it was until I became one I realised the true value of what we do! Booking with an agent takes the stress away from booking your little weekend away or your dream holiday & makes it easy! Not only is it my job to shop around for deals, check whats the easiest way to get there , tell you what visas you need, give you suggestions from our own personal experience or our other clients feedback. We are also there to help in emergencies when you need us most! I work mainly from home but am happy to come meet you in a cafe to talk travel & sip good coffee! I dont have set days that I work so feel free to contact me any day of the week for help! Now why book with me? I Love what I do and have a 8 years of experience! I've traveled to dozens of countries and booked many more. I pride myself on finding my clients good deals & really do care about your holiday running smooth & it being one to remember! Why book your trip with several different agents or sites when you can deal with one for EVERYTHING you need so only one person to call and its all in the one place! I look forward to helping you :)
