Our team is made up of:
I love to travel and am particularly interested in food and wine travel. I have 20 years' retail travel experience and lots of real travel experience too! Some of the places I’ve enjoyed travelling to include Switzerland, Southern Africa, Tasmania, Hunter Valley, Tennessee, The Galapagos Islands, plus many more!
I have over 23 years’ experience in the travel industry, and of course extensive real travel experience also. I started my love of travel with a 3-year “OE” through Europe and Southeast Asia and Europe remains my personal favourite travel destination. Most recent travel experiences include: European River Cruising, Dubai & Oman, Singapore, Hong Kong, China and Tahiti. Having grown up in Melbourne and explored many parts of Australia I can also give you great inside knowledge closer to home as well.
Travel is my passion and come with 10 years of industry experience between various airlines and travel agencies. I love to create itineraries to help make my clients’ dreams into a reality. Lately, I have travelled extensively in New Zealand and am just in love with my own backyard. I have also travelled throughout India, Qatar, UAE, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand.
New to the travel industry in 2020, I bring 4 years of event and social media marketing plus 12 years of administration and support work. Travel has always been an interest after visiting China when I was 16. Since then, I travelled through Europe on my 2-year OE, with my favourite location being the South of France. Recent travel experiences include: Fiji, Melbourne and New Zealand.
Travel became my passion after 3 years in the UK and travelling in Europe, USA plus Canada. I have been in and out of the industry over the past 20 years - for some of that time running the Travel programme at Otago Polytechnic preparing students for life in travel or tourism, as well as administration positions. The experiences that can be had from travelling continue to enthrall me and I am happy to be back helping others have that wonderful life changing experience.
New to the travel industry in 2015, I brought a 10 year background in administration, documentation and systems. I’ve enjoy researching travel for clients, whilst also learning about and experiencing new destinations with my own recent travel experiences including Japan, Brisbane, Hong Kong and Fiji.
What Our Customers Have Said About Our Service:
Janine, Prachi and the team look after my regular business trips with ease, and when we changed covid levels they were incredibly proactive and contacted me.
Janine was unbelievably helpful and supportive, at a time of (desperate) need!!
We wish to thank and recommend Janine for her outstanding service. We called Janine at 2.00am to advise that our flight from Dublin was delayed and we would miss our connection in Oslo to Kirkenes to meet our Cruise down the Spine of Norway’s Bear. Janine immediately burst into action and rearranged our cruise to one two days later, sorted accommodation in Oslo, re-jigged our future itinerary and started the insurance claim processes. I highly recommend Janine and her college Prachi Koll who have arranged our complex 5-week European trip.
