About Paayal
Born in the sun-kissed islands of Fiji, I grew up with adventure in my veins and a hunger for exploring new horizons. New Zealand nurtured my love for nature, while Australia became my home, embracing the vibrant multicultural tapestry. My family, a rich blend of Fijian-Indian, Thai, and Chinese influences, instilled in me a deep appreciation for culture, incredible food, and exquisite experiences.
With over 20 years in the travel industry—including curating high-end journeys for American Express Centurion—I specialise in crafting personalised itineraries that seamlessly blend true luxury with flawless logistics.
As a mum of two and a passionate foster carer, I deeply understand the complex nuances of travelling with children of all backgrounds and needs. I share our family's global adventures, travel tips, and real-life moments over on my Instagram community, @honeyIpackedthekids. Whether you are planning a relaxing luxury getaway, a snowy family escape (like my recent trip to the magical onsens of Japan), or a complex multi-generational reunion, I ensure every detail is navigated flawlessly.
My commitment to family and children extends far beyond my own front door. I am also the proud founder of Purpose Project AU, an initiative designing exclusive, curated tours where 50% of the profits go directly towards supporting foster children across Australia. When you book your travels with me, you aren't just creating lasting memories for your own family—you are helping provide brighter futures for vulnerable children in our community. Let's turn your travel dreams into a powerful force for good.
