Venture through South Australia, to Adelaide and beyond.

If you’re planning to travel to Adelaide, you’ll discover a city that combines outstanding food and wine with an easygoing lifestyle. Known as Australia’s 20‑minute city, Adelaide is compact, walkable and the ideal base for exploring South Australia’s most iconic regions.

An Adelaide holiday begins in the city, where leafy streets, cultural highlights on North Terrace and a standout dining scene set the tone. Enjoy shopping at Rundle Mall, sample local flavours at the Adelaide Central Market or head to nearby Glenelg Beach for café‑lined streets and golden sands just minutes from the CBD.

Beyond the city, South Australia shines with world‑class destinations. The Barossa Valley, less than an hour away, is famed for award‑winning wineries and gourmet food, while the Adelaide Hills offer cooler‑climate villages like Hahndorf, rich in history and charm. For a slower pace, the Murray River delivers scenic cruising, wildlife encounters and unforgettable houseboat stays.

Whether you’re after a short city break or a longer journey through wine regions and natural landscapes, Adelaide and South Australia offer relaxed travel, incredible flavours and memorable experiences at every turn.

For me, travel has been more than just a series of destinations,  it has been a transformative journey that has sculpted my character and contributed to my personal evolution. 

My travel experiences are not merely about ticking off destinations from a bucket list, but about immersing myself in the heart and soul of each place I’ve visited visit.  

My early travels began with frequent road trips around my home country of Canada and the USA, and I am fortunate enough to have now been to six of the seven continents. 

Exploring the world through various modes of transportation has been a thrilling adventure for me, from cruise ships, to trains, to rickshaws, and I have an appreciation for the experiences that local transport offers.  I am comfortable with sleeping in a hammock in the rainforest, an overwater bungalow in the South Pacific, and everything in between.  

My experiences have taught me to adapt to different situations and understand diverse perspectives, and my background in customer service and sales has equipped me with valuable skills that I believe make me well-suited for various client needs. I believe this makes me well-suited to meet your needs as a client.

Whether it's finding solutions to problems or anticipating your preferences, I strive to provide an exceptional service tailored to you. My aim is to not just meet but exceed your expectations by drawing on my varied background.

My enthusiasm for travel is infectious, and it is my goal to inspire others to embark on their own adventures and discover the beauty of our planet.

My love of languages and exploring the world has naturally evolved into a career in travel. I enjoy discovering what motivates your travels and tailoring your trip to suit your own style and interests.

I have travelled extensively across Europe and lived abroad both in the UK and Paraguay. Recent travel highlights include cruising Hawaii’s Islands and experiencing the best of Washington DC.

My special interest is in cruising, from the world’s largest floating resorts to casually cruising Europe’s rivers or the more adventurous Expedition ships to the Antarctic. There is a cruise possibility for every personality and preference!

I look forward to getting to know you and helping you to get the most out of your next adventure.

I liken planning a holiday to baking a cake. It takes several well measured and thought out ingredients for a great result.

I have been lucky to have travelled extensively myself and being a travel consultant for more than 20 years, I use these 'ingredients' - experience and expertise - to draw on to help create amazing holidays and lifelong memories.

It is such a pleasure to help my clients get the best out of their holidays and manage an incredible team of travel professionals.
