"With very little input from us ( except for a departure date ), Shelley has used her knowledge and experience to recommend an itinerary that we accepted without change. We are really looking forward to the trip as we would, choosing for ourselves, never have booked what Shelley has recommended."

Taylor
I am so excited to be back working and a part of the House of Travel family after some time away from the industry whilst my children were young.
Being a friendly and bubbly person I appreciate spending time with my clients building their dream holidays, listening and paying attention to their needs to create special memories.
I feel so lucky to be a part of this wonderful travel industry and find that my passion to help others shows when working in my happy place.
I have travelled through Europe, Vietnam and Cambodia as well as parts of Eastern Canada. I have cruised Alaska which I absolutely loved and have had many trips to different parts of Australia, Asia and South Africa.
My favourite country would have to be Cambodia, where I thoroughly enjoyed meeting the locals, travelling this beautiful country, and experiencing the local food. Waking up at 5am to have a cup of tea whilst watching the sun rising over Angkor Wat as the local monks walked past. It was such a magical moment and one that will be engraved in my mind forever.
I can’t wait to meet with you to discuss your individual travel enquiries.
