So good to be travelling again. Singapore putting on its best show for us.
Nice smooth experience to leave Australia though takes more time to process checkin and immigration. All in all fairly easy.

Ready.....set.....let's go!!!!
International travel is becoming a reality again. There are some changes and a fair bit of background logistics.....but leave those details to me and you can just focus on the holiday.

Where in New Zealand am I?

A large catamaran ferry takes you through this hole with little room to spare. Lots of dolphins to be seen on the way. This is a great day trip whilst in this part of the country. Do you know where I am?

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 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 successful in finding part-time/temporary work outside of the travel industry to keep me on my feet, and enable me to assist clients where there are ongoing issues with suppliers until we start to see signs of recovery.

I’m encouraged by the arrival of Australia’s first shipment of vaccines. To me, this represents a practical step towards our world opening safely, and of course relief for those of us with a dormant travel bug.

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 yes, printed photo albums) are 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.
