About Amanda
Travel has always been one of my great passions and I'm so excited to be able to share my knowledge and experience with you. I love it all, from the buzz and bustle of airports to the excited anticipation of discovering new and revisited destinations. I've been inspired by our incredible world of breathtaking landscapes, amazing creatures and the friendly smiles and warm welcomes I've received from people of all creeds and cultures.
My travel addiction began when I moved to beautiful Lord Howe Island, living and working in a resort for two years before crossing the Pacific to settle in Massachusetts. For several years I lived in the USA, working and traveling abroad before returning to Australia, where my travel experiences helped me to land my dream job as a Travel Consultant. Now my travel addiction, my passion and my work all come together.
As a professional Travel Consultant I am committed to delivering to you the highest level of personal attention and customer care so you can be sure that you are in safe and experienced hands throughout your journey with an itinerary that is meticulously planned, seamless and hassle free from beginning to end.
With MTA I now have access to global resources and exceptional industry knowledge and buying power. I have continued to travel and build my product knowledge as well as establishing valuable International connections, which means I can ‘open doors' to add value to your arrangements, making sure you have access to all the small and special things that you may not have even thought about.
Your trip is as important to me as my own, after all, your travel experience is an investment, your time is precious and I want to be sure that you will always have treasured and lasting memories of amazing travel experiences.
Whether you are looking for that special leisure holiday or business trip, please contact me and discover how I can make your travel dreams a reality or your business trip an uncomplicated journey.
