About Sabine

I'm Sabine, a travel professional with over 18 years of experience, specializing in personalized concierge-style service.

I've proudly called Phillip Island my home for the past 13 years, where my love of the ocean and nature inspires both my life and the way I care for my clients. Just as much as I value the serenity of my surroundings, I also treasure the connections I build with my clients - relationships that make every journey more meaningful.

My travel career began with Lufthansa German Airlines, where I had the privilege of working for one of the world's leading carriers and gained invaluable insight into the highest standards of customer relations and global reservations. I later built on that expertise with Helloworld Travel, further strengthening my foundations in client care and international travel planning. Today, through my own MTA business, I offer a one-stop concierge service designed to take the stress out of travel and replace it with confidence, excitement, and joy.

What sets me apart is my genuine passion for travel and my commitment to going above and beyond for every client. Partnering with MTA also gives me access to Virtuoso and other luxury travel affiliations, meaning my clients enjoy exclusive perks, insider experiences, and exceptional deals.
I believe travel should feel personal, not transactional. That's why I take the time to listen, understand your unique needs, and craft experiences that reflect your dreams - whether that's a luxurious cruise, an expedition to Antarctica, a family reunion, ticking off your bucket list, or chasing waves on a surf adventure.

Having had the privilege to travel extensively myself, I know how important it is to have someone you can trust by your side. My clients know they can reach me anytime, even in emergencies, and that I'll always provide thoughtful solutions and expert guidance. When you book with me, you're not just a customer - you're a valued client, and I'll be with you every step of the way, from planning to your safe return home.

Travel is more than a journey - it's about creating memories that last a lifetime. I'd love to help design your next adventure with care, creativity, and the peace of mind that everything is taken care of.
