Travel can be life-changing, and as your Travel Specialist for Australia, my priority is to provide you a trip you will be telling your friends and family about for years to come. Whether you are an on-the-go adventurer or someone who prefers to savor moments at a slower pace, we will be sure to craft the best plan to meet your needs.
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"I specialize in creating custom itineraries for all ages and all sizes of groups, tailored to first-timers and seasoned adventurers alike. My favorite activities include nature, culture, and going off the beaten path. I am a foodie, so I will definitely point you in the right direction for a great meal after whatever your day's activities hold. "
How did you get involved in travel?
"I started travelling during high school when I got to do a summer long foreign exchange in Finland and a year long foreign exchange in Italy. After that, I was hooked! Since then, I've been living abroad for the past nine years and have visited 27 different countries, with Australia being one of my absolute favorites. Every trip has taught me something new, and I would love to be able to share my passion and insight with you! "
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"I am a very lucky girl, because it's impossible to choose just one adventure! Here are my top experiences to name a few: eating traditional Hot Pot in Taiwan, watching a traditional Irish band in a pub in Dublin, running into kangaroos while hiking in the Australian bush, bicycling 60 kilometers through Italian vineyards, climbing the Story Bridge in Brisbane, and... many more.
