About Kylie
I love connecting people to their dreams, of far-flung places, or that special jewel closer to home. That special something that makes their heart sing, and truly connect with the place, the culture and the people. It might be the food, the wine, the nature, the culture, the history that makes it come to life for you.
Travel is very different in 2025 and beyond, so our capacity for tolerance and kindness will be even more important going forward, to make the experience for those working to serve our needs, just as incredible as they make ours. Kindness is free. The adjustments we may need to make might just make your travels the ultimate trip of a lifetime.
As an industry, collectively, we have worked extremely hard, as it is our passion, and we have the information to help navigate the complications that will impact travel arrangements, the entry visas of the future, the changed travel landscape with some suppliers ie airlines, tour operators etc changing how they operate, their routes, new players. In this digital age, and the pressures of navigating if it's a deal made up using AI or it's a real offer, it is even more important to put your money where it can be trusted, and keep profits for the smaller companies, and businesses, not necessarily for the Global online entities.
I love creating cruise holidays, that enables a sneak peek, or an in-depth immersive experience in the destinations. I have cruised Alaska/Canada West Coast, South Pacific, New Zealand, Australia, Papua New Guinea and Asia to date via Ocean, and have river cruised in Europe.
I have relationships with suppliers around the world, from Hoteliers, Tour operators, Destination companies, Cruise Lines, Insurance Companies, Transfer companies, and more which helps make your arrangements just that much more personal. Ongoing training in product, destinations and processes is something I am passionate about, so that I can increase the value I bring to the table to collaborate and design your ultimate trips.
I look forward to planning your amazing holidays very soon!
