About Shayne and Jodie

Shayne Earley and Jodie Simms are the passionate duo behind MTA – Mobile Travel Agents Berry, an independent travel business at the heart of the Berry community. Together, they combine decades of experience, deep industry knowledge, and a genuine love for creating unforgettable travel experiences.

Shayne's fascination with travel began early, when her family moved to Malaysia at the age of 12. That spark grew into a lifelong passion, leading her to explore 37 countries and every corner of Australia. Since 1991 she has built an impressive career in the industry, known for her ability to craft tailor-made journeys that not only meet but exceed expectations. Shayne values the opportunity to connect with clients on a personal level, offering them flexibility, insider knowledge, and the reassurance that she's available whenever they need support.

Jodie's career also began in 1991, and she brings warmth, care, and a wealth of expertise to every itinerary she creates. After taking time to raise her family, she returned to the industry in 2019 to join forces with her long-time friend Shayne. Jodie takes pride in delivering seamless, stress-free travel experiences designed around each client's unique needs, whether it's a luxury escape, a family holiday, or a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.

As a team, Shayne and Jodie share the same values – listening closely, understanding what matters most to their clients, and delivering personalised service with professionalism and heart. Working with MTA gives them access to incredible deals, exclusive products, and the technology to stay flexible and available, but it's their teamwork, dedication, and genuine passion for people that truly sets them apart.
