You're looking for a personal travel agent who...

Can pick a fake review a mile away

Make no mistake, I use TripAdvisor and other review sites to research travel experiences too! It's just that I  combine that with my on-the-ground connections to make sure what I find online matches the reality! As your personal travel agent, I ensure you know what to expect when you arrive.

Knows the difference between a deal and value

I know that a great deal is not just about the price you pay;  it’s about the quality, inclusions, and experiences that make your trip unforgettable. As your personal travel agent, I focus on finding the best value, ensuring you enjoy top-notch amenities, exceptional service, and memorable moments.

Doesn't select a tour off the shelf

Step inside my store and you'll notice that there are no tour brochures on my shelves! That's because I believe your holiday needs to be as unique as you.  As your personal travel agent, I make it my business to get to know what makes you tick in order to match you with the perfect travel experiences. 

Your time is valuable

let me handle the details in three simple steps.

My personal travel agent process is as simple as 1, 2, 3!

The path to your ideal trip starts with a free consultation where I can better understand your must haves and deal breakers

STEP ONE

You give me your time, either in a face-to-face, online or over the phone meeting. This is your chance to tell me all about the trip you're dreaming of,  your must-have's and deal-breakers, and what it is you'd love to hand off to me.

We collaborate to navigate the best options for your unique needs.

STEP TWO

Step back and let me do my thang! No cookie-cutter, off the shelf itineraries here. I bring my personal knowledge and killer keyboard skills to the table to curate a customised plan for you.

I get to work on the finer details so you can get on with life and it's many priorities!

STEP THREE

I'll lay it all out for you to review.  You get the final say on what works for you, not some tour company based in a foreign country. You walk away with a tailored itinerary that provides you with peace of mind that all the details have been taken care of.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What do you do?

I'm a personal travel agent who specialises in customised travel planning and booking.

I take the time to get to know you—your travel needs, preferences, must-haves, and deal-breakers—through a detailed consultation process. Then, I use my extensive travel industry knowledge and contacts to match you with travel experiences that suit you perfectly. Whether you're after a relaxing escape, a cultural deep-dive, or an off-the-beaten-path adventure, I take care of the details so you can focus on enjoying your journey.

How are you different to other travel agents

There are a few key ways I work differently to traditional travel agents:


I work for you, not the supplier

I use a fee-for-service model, which means I’m not driven by commissions. My recommendations are based solely on what suits you best—even if that means a low-cost or no-cost option. You can trust that my travel advice is tailored to your needs, not a sales target.


I support clients all across Australia

Whether you're in a capital city or a remote regional town, you can access my travel planning services. I use whichever communication method you prefer—video chat, phone call, email, text or in-person (if you're local!). My goal is to make planning your trip easy and enjoyable, no matter where you live.


Transparent pricing, always

In most cases, you will pay the travel provider directly, meaning no hidden fees or sneaky mark-ups. The only fee you pay to me is for the work I do on your behalf—and I’ll always outline this upfront. That way, you know exactly what your holiday costs and where your money is going.

What travel experiences do you assist with?

I provide end-to-end travel planning and booking services—researching, recommending and organising as much or as little of your trip as you need. I'm completely guided by you, whether you want help with a single element or a full itinerary.


Here are some of the most common travel services I assist with:


  • Airport car parking
  • Transfers – to/from airports, hotels, cruise terminals or your home
  • Flights – including layover planning and complex itineraries
  • Cruises – plus pre- and post-cruise options and shore excursions
  • Multi-day tours – from luxury small-group experiences to budget packages
  • Independent travel itineraries – for travellers who prefer flexibility and self-guided adventures
  • Accommodation – including hotels, resorts, and holiday home stays
  • Day tours and local attractions
  • Free and low-cost activities – to help you make the most of your destination without blowing the budget
  • On-the-ground transport – like trains, buses, taxis, and rideshare
  • Dining recommendations – from must-try local gems to convenient bite options


No matter your travel style, I’m here to help bring it all together—your way.

Which areas do you service?

I service clients Australia-wide using phone, email, text and video calls. 


Think of choosing your travel agent in the same way you would choose your lawyer, accountant, or financial adviser —  choose someone for their expertise, approach, and the way they work to understand your needs, not their postcode. You don’t need to choose your travel agent based on who happens to be closest to you. My clients recognise that working with a travel agent they can trust, and who is working in their best interest is more important than working with the closest travel agent.


Most planning, research, and communication happens via phone, email, and video calls, making it easy to work together no matter where you live and the schedule you keep. You can rest assured that I work around your communication style and preferences.

Where is your office located?

My office is located on Byrnes Street, right in the heart of Mareeba,

an iconic regional town in Far North Queensland, where the rainforest meets the outback.


I'm incredibly lucky to live and work as a personal travel agent in Mareeba. It gives me a deep connection to both the local community and the stunning natural surrounds that make this part of the world so special.


While I work with clients all across Australia, many locals love being able to drop into my office. My Mareeba location makes it easy for clients to visit  from nearby areas such as:


  • Cairns
  • Atherton
  • Port Douglas
  • Innisfail
  • Cooktown
  • Cape York and the Gulf Country


If you're in Mareeba, you're always welcome to pop in for a face-to-face consultation.

How do you support rural and remote clients?

Let's face it, holiday travel is just different for those living in regional, rural and remote parts of Australia. Living in Far North Queensland, Cape York, the Torres Strait, or the Gulf means travel is a little more complex. It often involves extra flights, careful connections, overnight stays, and much more planning just to get to the starting point of your trip.


Based in Far North Queensland, I know first-hand what it takes to plan a smooth holiday from communities across the Cape York Peninsula, Torres Strait, the Gulf region and country towns throughout FNQ. I understand the extra steps, the extra logistics, and the importance of getting it right from the very first flight.


Whether you're travelling from Weipa, Cooktown, Thursday Island, Mossman/Port Douglas, Normanton or a remote community further afield, I help make international and domestic travel feel simpler, more connected, and far less overwhelming.


Do you provide a mobile travel agent service?

Yes, I do.


While many clients visit my Mareeba office, I also work with travellers across Far North Queensland who prefer a more flexible arrangement. I regularly assist clients in Atherton, Cairns, Innisfail, Mossman and Port Douglas, and I’m happy to meet in a way that suits you best.


That might mean sitting down in the comfort of your own home, booking a private meeting space locally, or catching up at your favourite coffee shop to plan your next adventure.


As a Far North Queensland travel agent, my focus is on making the planning process feel easy and personalised — whether you visit me in Mareeba or we meet elsewhere across the region.
