About Debra

I have enjoyed and experienced many years in this fascinating industry. With over 35 years experience I am still passionate to assist in planning my clients travel needs and take pride in providing a dedicated personal service.

My travel journey started at 18 years of age and I have shared my experiences with Corporate and Leisure clients to many destinations around the globe. I co-owned my own Agency for 17 years and specialised in servicing the needs of Australian business for corporate travel both domestically and internationally. Like so many industries there are always ongoing changes and one of the fastest growing areas the travel industry has seen in the last decade is the Cruise market. I have achieved my Master Cruise accreditation and can offer a comprehensive cruise itinerary in both luxury ocean and river cruising to romantic, exciting and unique destinations.

Travel has been a huge part of my life both individually and with my family. At 21 years of age I headed off with my back-pack and travelled to Europe and the UK on the “Australian Working Holiday”. I travelled throughout Europe and worked in London for 6 months and as an Au Pair in Vienna for 3 months. On my return to Australia my career in travel commenced and here I am today!

Through MTA Travel being able to offer such a huge range of premium preferred partners and special offers, my clients can enjoy chatting over a coffee or phone/email at a time and place that is convenient to you. I am dedicated to make your planning stress free and for you to live the “Travel Dream”.

With more than 35 years in travel I have been fortunate to see first hand a wide range of travel products from a Walking Tour in Provence, the magnificent Iguaza Falls to a Canoe Safari down the Zambezi and Family holidays to Disneyland, Hawaii, The Gold Coast or sailing on a Gulet with a group of friends in the Adriatic!
