Visit my agency, Boomerang Escapes for more information. You will also find my book there, Awakened in Australia. I was born with travel in my blood. Having moved since birth, living in ten different states, I have a natural wandering soul. I love change and all things new. My passion: Australia! I have been in love with this country for as long as I can remember. Every school report was written

about one of its unique and amazing animals. My room was filled with stuffed koalas and even a koala latch hook rug. I had (still have) a collection of picture clippings from magazines. But, it truly began, in 2008, when I was introduced to the travel industry and became an independent travel consultant. In 2010, I stumbled upon Tourism Australia’s website and entered their Aussie specialist program. In 2011, I was contacted by them and offered a chance of a lifetime to travel to Australia for a tour, followed by Coroborree (A gathering of agents and operators for intense product training and fun!). I could hardly contain my excitement! When I arrived in Sydney and within hours laid hands and eyes on a koala, I was brought to tears. I was forever changed by my trip “down under”. My hope is to share this love and passion with you. I truly believe travel transforms us and broadens our love and appreciation for life. I currently reside in Old Bridge, NJ after spending the last 13 years in TN. I am mom to three amazing teenagers. In my spare time I love being involved with my children’s activities, working out, bowling, cooking, and socializing poolside with friends. In 2015, my love of fitness and travel collided to create Be Fit To Travel. Be Fit To Travel has become an extension of Boomerang Escapes-Return to Your Happy Place. I am not only here to send you on the most fabulous escapes ever, but can also guide you to looking and feeling great when you travel. My goal is to inspire people to stay young, active, healthy, and ready for adventure...creating transformations of the mind, body, and soul through diet, exercise, and travel.

One of the first stops on my clients’ upcoming adventure this August will be the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary in Brisbane—the world’s oldest and largest koala sanctuary. 🐨 While koala cuddles are no longer offered, they’ll be among the first to enjoy the brand-new 'Koala Close-Up' experience, focusing on meaningful connections and extended time with these adorable Aussie icons. In addition to 'Koala Moments' and the 'Koala Discovery Tour,' this sanctuary is the perfect place to stroll through beautiful eucalyptus trees and make memories that last a lifetime. 🌿✨ Ready to start planning your own Australian adventure? Let’s make your dream trip a reality! 🌏✈️

An iconic South East Queensland koala sanctuary has become the latest to end the practice of allowing guests to hold their koalas.

Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary in Brisbane, which opened in 1927, is a popular destination for getting up close and personal with the loveable Australian marsupial.
