As a born and bred Aussie, I started my own travel company 20 years ago to help visitors see my beloved homeland through the eyes of a local. Getting travelers off of big bus tours and into the real heart of Australia is my passion.

I get the most joy out of planning vacations off the beaten path or helping people see country highlights in a special way—like taking a seaplane to an untouched corner of the Great Barrier Reef where you can snorkel with no one else around. I’ve had the pleasure of exploring my country far and wide, and I’m thrilled to share my insider knowledge with clients.

With my local contacts and 20 years of experience in the industry, I give my travelers exclusive, behind-the-scenes access to all that makes Australia so special. If you want a private picnic on a picture-perfect white sand beach; a special lunch where you can pick the brain of a renowned chef or winemaker; or a private wildlife and wilderness tour that brings you up close to wallabies, platypuses, and wombats in the heart of the Tasmanian bush, I can make it happen.

I visit Australia several times a year, continually seeking out new and exciting ways for travelers to experience my country. And while my travelers tend to have a few things in common—a curious spirit, a passion for new adventures, and an appreciation for the finer things in life—they are each unique, and I find great joy in building the perfect custom itinerary for each one.
