About GINA
I joined MTA - Mobile Travel Agents because I wanted the luxury of being my own boss, in an industry that I love. Due to the amazing technical support MTA offers, I can keep up to date with the latest deals and options for my clients, and myself! I can choose my own working hours, to suit my family commitments and I can be flexible with my clients and chat at a time that suits them.
Having the travel bug myself, it is so easy to be enthusiastic about helping a client plan their holiday. I always have a family holiday on the go. Europe is my favourite destination, I absolutely love Paris and London, but always try to add a completely new destination for each trip. That's not to say I don't do Asia as well, having been to Bali, Singapore, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam and lived in Malaysia. I have also visited parts of the USA and Canada, favourites being Las Vegas, New York and Quebec (a little bit of France in Canada).
I joined MTA - Mobile Travel Agents in June 2007, just prior to moving back to my home state of Tasmania. Before this, I worked in the travel industry for over 15 years, initially with a Time Share company on the Gold Coast, then with Ansett Australia, until their sad demise. After that, I was lucky enough to be employed by Qantas and worked in International Reservations for almost 7 years until my move back to Tasmania.
I thoroughly enjoy my job! I love helping my clients (who usually become friends) plan their holiday, especially adding all the helpful little tips and tricks I have learned along the way.
I have booked clients holidays to every continent on the planet - including Antarctica! (Thanks Alice)
As I am a mother to a 30-year-old son and 18-year-old daughter, I can offer practical advice on travelling with children. My daughter had her first flight at 3 weeks old, and has literally been around the world several times since!
Having taken 12 months to really get to know Rainbow Beach....and recently returned from an incredible 6 week journey to Europe with my favourite traveling companion, and business partner...Brian Edwards...I have pondered the sort of Travel Advisor I want to be...post-Covid....We have the perfect work/life/community/family balance, that so many working Mums (and Dad's) seek. Follow our journey and see if there is anything we can do for YOU...to help YOU live YOUR best life.
Working with MTA - Mobile Travel Agents gives me access to amazing deals and the most wonderful support staff. If you can dream it, we can make it happen. Bucket Lists are a specialty!
