About Carol

Welcome to my website. Everytime I get a wish list from a client I am as excited as if it were my own trip, and just can't wait to get started. The main thing is that it's your trip and I am there to help with the intricate planning, but your valued input is imperative.

I like to live every day of your trip whilst we are planning together, piece by piece until is all done. I use my attention to detail and organisation skills to keep happy customers and my destination and product knowledge to the same end.

I have travelled on almost every major airline which departs Australia so am able to offer my first hand experience. I am a one stop travel shop available to you for all your travel needs, be they long or short - simple or complex.

As a your mobile travel agent I am always available - even when I am on a world trip of my own!

Moving to London as a young lass of 18, I became involved in a young person's travel company operating tours all around Europe and also overland trips through the near, the Far and the Middle East and from Nepal down through Asia.

I also sold myself on most of these trips at various times with some wonderful travel experiences and tales to tell. Some of these countries are not possible to travel to nowadays.

Onwards to Sydney I was involved with Sundowners Travel, Adventure World Travel and then began a long spell as Airline Concierge, Customer Service Agent and Airlines Operations Coordinator with 3 major airlines departing Sydney International. I also teamed up with a friend as a senior consultant in a small corporate agency in Double Bay.

Having heard through a colleague about MTA – Mobile Travel Agents, I decided to give it a go with the philosophy that my first hand experience working with airlines and the nitty gritty of how they work, my consulting days, my knowledge and travel experiences throughout every year of my life, with children as well, could go well for me to be able to build a business of my own. When I started I did not have any clients to bring to my computer with me, I now have just completed my 200th trip file.
