Travel has been in the blood and a passion of mine ever since I first went to Europe on my own in the late 1970's. Whilst much has changed in the world of travel since then, the beauty, history, peoples and stunning vistas of so many places around the world are still the same today, waiting for us to visit and experience them. We would love to help you realize your travel dreams, plan that cruise,

book your business trip or just assist you to pop to Aussie or the islands for a bit of R&R. At Travel Encounters we can cover all your travel needs. We can plan and book your holiday with you, arrange visas, and ensure you have everything from tickets to travel insurance, including peace of mind, before you leave. Our experience with group travel means you can cost-effectively plan to get away overseas with family and friends to celebrate important milestones, anniversaries, weddings or maybe just a long weekend across the ditch. You can book with us knowing that as a travel broker of the Travel Managers Group, who is a bonded member of the International Air Transport Association (IATA), your travel funds are secure. We look forward to assisting you with your travel arrangements very shortly! GOLF ENCOUNTERS

You can’t come to Argentina without visiting the Iguazu Falls. It covers a huge area and can be viewed from both the Argentinian and Brazilian sides. Make sure you take the boat ride that leaves you soaked to the skin as you experience the power and force of the falls from river level.

For the last couple of weeks we have been exploring Argentina. A previous post showed Buenos Aires and then we moved down to San Martin de los Andes, and onto Bariloche, wonderful parts of the country. We just happened to be in San Martin on the town’s birthday and witnessed a parade. The National park in Bariloche is stunning.
