Sail and snorkel the idyllic Fiji Islands

Fiji

Even if you spend all your time on the mainland, it doesn’t mean you can’t experience some island magic from Port Denarau. Take a day trip sailing experience through Fiji’s beautiful Mamanuca Islands enjoying awesome food and great hospitality aboard the catamaran ‘Sabre’.

Snorkel coral reefs, take a short boat ride to the sand bar, enjoy a drink, and dance the macarena on the return home knowing even the shy ones will be up singing and dancing. Each day’s itinerary is different, creating a unique experience every day.

Hi all - please note that I am on maternity leave until September 2026 :)

Customer service has always been drilled into me. After begging my way into a cafe job at 14, I then spent 12 years working in the hospitality industry supervising restaurants and managing specialty cafes which also founded my love for all different types of foods.

After spending 3 years in Melbourne, 6 months in South East Asia and a few years in the UK I finally made the switch to the travel industry where I have been able to share my love for travel and customer service ever since.

I made it through the dark years of COVID in the industry which has led me to know to dig that little bit deeper into my clients' travel plans to create that perfect trip, and ensure we really have the best option for you in terms of comfort, reliability, and service. As we just don't know what is round the corner, do we!

I've travelled extensively across Southeast Asia, UK and Europe, spent a lot of time exploring properties in Fiji (and relaxing by the beach), road tripped in California and in 2024 I visited South Africa in Feb, Japan, South Korea and Taipei! I've got many more places on my bucket list to visit, but if I haven't been, I've got a superb team of people behind me who have and we'll work out the best trip for you! My ultimate passion when I travel is trying local foods, and finding the best possible places to have that authentic experience that we wouldn't be able to have at home. So if that resonates with you, I'd love to hear from you and let's put together your foodie adventure, together :)

For a long time, I've told people I have the best job in the world and I still stand by that.

What could be better than turning peoples dreams into reality? I never know what the day will bring and isn't variety the spice of life?

My travel journey started a bit later in my life, so I haven't been everywhere YET, but I am having a damn good crack at it, gathering local knowledge along the way.

Travel brings joy, and I’m passionate about helping people create incredible memories! I love turning travel ideas into exciting, memorable experiences and making the journey from dreaming to booking as easy and enjoyable as possible.

Travel has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. Having grown up travelling regularly and now visited 21 countries (and counting!), it felt like a natural step to turn my passion for exploring the world into a career where I can help others experience it too.

I specialise in travel across Australia, Southeast Asia, the USA, the Pacific Islands and cruising, bringing firsthand knowledge from both my time living in the USA and my recent month-long adventure through Europe. I love discovering destinations both on and off the beaten track and using my own travel experiences, combined with my industry knowledge, to create holidays that are perfectly suited to each client.

Some of my most memorable travel experiences include island hopping through Greece, exploring Mexico on a Contiki, travelling through Southeast Asia with my best friend, and discovering the beautiful Pacific Islands closer to home.

Whether you’re planning a family holiday, romantic getaway, cruise, solo adventure or once-in-a-lifetime trip, my goal is to make the planning process easy and enjoyable while taking care of the details along the way. I love creating personalised itineraries that match your travel style, interests and expectations, and I’m here to help from the initial planning through to those special insider tips that can make your trip even more memorable.

Share your dream holiday with me, and together we’ll make it a reality! Let me take care of the details so you can relax, enjoy the journey and make memories that last a lifetime.
