I organise independent, unique and individual trips for clients. I personally do not book your trip, however, I have exclusive access to a trusted agent who will book your planned itinerary for you free of charge.

I do all the liaising for you.

You should be aware that certain components of your trip may need to be booked by you. I will let you know which components they are and guide you through the process.

It is essential that a service provider, accommodation or tour provider be able to liaise with you directly while you are travelling, at any given time.

My Travel Planning Service is aimed at providing you with the most cost-effective and personal itinerary possible.

You certainly could! What I do is not magic. It is something anyone can do and I understand the appeal of planning your own travel. It is enormously rewarding.

But the internet can be a crazy place and when you start researching, reading destination posts and articles and scrolling through sites like TripAdvisor, Booking.com, different travel forums and... well let’s just say it might seem easier to stay at home.

And I wouldn’t want you to do that. I take away the stress by doing the research for you and delivering a bespoke trip that is uniquely you, travelling in a style that you love with experiences that will last you a lifetime.

I have travelled. Experience counts for a lot. It's not easy to get an itinerary to flow well and work. Why take the risk with your precious time and money?

You will have 14 days to make any revisions to your itinerary.

Up to two itinerary changes are permitted, however, this does not include a change of destination.

A Travel Agent won’t research Airbnb apartments. Or free tours. Or all the other unique and personal information that will be relevant to you.

And I don’t receive any commissions from any service, organisation or company.

Which means I work ONLY for you.

My recommendations are only based on your personal preferences and requests.

All consultations are online and will be recorded.

That way neither of us misses anything AND we can relax and have a good conversation rather than scribbling notes the whole time.

It's also a great reference tool if you can't remember if you mentioned something or when I share a travel tip with you.

You can book a FREE online consultation.

This will be a 10-minute chat, however, bear in mind that specific details of a trip will not be discussed.

This is just to see if we will be a good fit in working together and both our expectations will be met.

Well here's the kicker. A travel agent may be charging you but you just don't know. Because their quotes are not individualised a lot of the time it's hard to know if they are charging a fee. I had a travel agent admit to me that they had included a fee (which they are very entitled to do by the way) but it wasn't itemised on the itinerary.

So make sure you always ask.

I can offer you a range of options to look at what they don't. I saved $4000 on Round the World tickets for my family back in 2010 simply by getting the agent to book with Finnair instead of Qantas (even though I had asked for the lowest possible price).

It all comes down to options, and I find as many as I can for you.
