About Jodie
It was Hans Christian Andersen who said, “To travel is to live.” For those who have not travelled, you are probably wondering what all the fuss is about. But for those of you who have, chances are, you are hooked. Well you are not alone…
I was fortunate enough to have travelled the world from a young age. It ignited the passion that I still have today for exploring and experiencing a vast array of destinations; the cultures, climates and cuisines.
I opened my first travel agency in 1991, and have been working in travel ever since. With almost 30 years of experience, I have gained so much knowledge about this ever changing industry. I now specialise in cruise, luxury travel and groups, creating unique, tailor made itineraries for my clients. I have organised tours such as my renowned ladies shopping trip to Kuala Lumpur, Japan, French and Italian tours for a number of Perth school groups, cycling tours through France and Italy, and volunteer trips for Australian medical professionals to India.
Having developed a particular passion for cruising, I made it my personal mission to be an expert agent in this field. In completing extensive cruise training I have gained the titles of Virtuoso Advisor, Accredited Virtuoso Voyages Host, Silverseas Platinum Member and Uncruise Certified Adventurist, just to name a few. Additionally, I am a CLIA (Cruise Line International Association) Ambassador. As a CLIA trained agent, I am able to match you to your perfect cruise ship, itinerary and experience. I have personally inspected and cruised on an array of ships, including Celebrity Solstice, Viking Orion, Royal Caribbean's Mariner of the Seas, Voyager of the Seas & Rhapsody of the Seas, Dawn Princess, Crown Princess, Silverseas Silver Cloud, Regent Seven Seas Mariner & Navigator, Blue Lagoon Fiji Cruise and Pandaw Mekong River Cruise amongst others. My expertise in cruising was recognised by CLIA, who in their Annual Industry Awards named me as a Finalist for Home Based Mobile Agent of the Year.
MTA (Mobile Travel Agents) were pioneers of the remote working travel agency business model, and enjoy the “big agency” buying power that gives us agents, and our clients, exclusive deals. Being a part of MTA means I can give you even greater discounts, priority treatment and more travel opportunities.
Travel can be amongst the best life experiences, but, if not done properly, can be the worst. If you are too time poor to research and plan, are travelling to unfamiliar places, are nervous about booking online or are lost amongst the mess of “deals” we see every day that hold hidden terms and extra charges, then get in contact. Together, we can start creating your hassle-free holiday.
To follow my own travel adventures, or to get in touch, you can find me at all the below online places. I look forward to helping you plan your next adventure!
