About Mel

Hi, I'm Mel!

If you ask me what makes me happiest, the answer is easy... travel! ✈️

Travel isn't just what I do - it's who I am. It's the excitement of planning, the butterflies before a trip, the unforgettable moments you never expected, and the stories you'll be telling for years to come. Nothing makes me happier than helping someone turn their dream holiday into a reality.

With more than 24 years in the travel industry, I've been fortunate to experience almost every side of travel. From retail and wholesale travel to training, education and now running my own MTA Mobile Travel business, my career has always been driven by one thing - my passion for helping people explore this incredible world.

When I'm not planning amazing holidays, you'll often find me teaching the next generation of travel professionals as a TAFE NSW Travel and Tourism teacher, leading my own hosted small group tours, or keeping up to date with the latest destinations, resorts and cruising experiences. (Someone has to do the hard work!)

I absolutely love creating holidays that are more than just flights and hotels. Whether it's a luxury escape, a family adventure, an unforgettable cruise, a bucket-list trip to Japan, or joining one of my escorted group tours, I take the time to get to know you so every itinerary feels like it was made just for you.

I've been lucky enough to explore some incredible places around the world, but Japan, USA, South Africa, Fiji, Samoa and Holland will always have a special place in my heart. Of course...my bucket list keeps getting longer!

One of the biggest differences you'll notice when booking with me is that you're never just another booking number. From our very first chat until you're safely back home (and even when you're unpacking!), I'm here to answer questions, celebrate your countdown, help if anything unexpected happens and, most importantly, hear all about your adventure when you return.

So...where are we off to next?
Let's start planning your next unforgettable holiday!
