About Mandy
“Choose your travel companion in life wisely as it makes a difference to how you enjoy the journey.”
One of my favourite quotes, which applies to your Travel Advisor as well! I create memorable holidays for people who aspire to more than hitting the “buy” button on a website.
Many years ago I left a full-time job when my boss wouldn't let me have 6 weeks' leave to go to Europe. In those days you couldn't justify the cost of the airfare for a short holiday. So I resigned, went travelling through Europe for 6 months and started a life-long travel addiction.
I eventually joined Qantas, spent 21 years learning the A-Z of the industry, and experienced amazing trips around Australia and the world.
People often ask me “Why use a travel agent?”. Because the best ones live, breathe and sleep travel; it's not a job, it's a passion.
A trusted Travel Advisor sees you as a real person and a long-term relationship. They know your likes and dislikes, wish list and how to pay for it on your budget. When it comes to your holidays they also see the big picture. They understand the dream but also the pitfalls that you might miss by doing it yourself.
Never have our travel experiences seemed more valuable than right now. Why wouldn't you put them in the hands of a professional?
