About Sarah

Travel has shaped my life for as long as I can remember. With journeys to over 30 countries and nearly 30 years in the industry, I've seen how travel opens minds, inspires new ideas, and transforms the way we see the world. I believe it should be fun to plan, seamless to experience, and always an investment in yourself

For the past 10 years, I've been part of the award-winning MTA – Mobile Travel Agents network, giving my clients flexibility, personal attention, and access to exclusive benefits. I am based in the Maitland area, proudly servicing my Newcastle and Lower Hunter local community, thought technology allows me to have clients in far flung locations also.

Through MTA's global connections, ATIA accreditation, and my Virtuoso and other industry memberships and affiliations, I can offer VIP amenities for my clients, trusted partnerships, and peace of mind on every booking, whether you're planning a luxury travel escape, family holiday, cruise, or corporate itinerary.

As a CLIA Cruise Master, cruise and leisure specialist, and multi-award finalist and winner, I bring deep knowledge and solid industry relationships to every trip I design. If I haven't personally experienced a destination, I know the experts who have—and I'll ensure your itinerary is shaped by real insight, not guesswork. My service is fully mobile and flexible, with options to work with you either online or in person to help plan your tailor made holiday or travel experience.

My career has taken me from Contiki Tour Director in Europe to consultant roles across leading travel companies, corporate travel management, shore excursion guiding, and even teaching at Hunter TAFE. Each chapter has strengthened my commitment to service that feels personal, thoughtful, and genuinely above and beyond.

When you book with me, you gain a dedicated travel partner who treats your holiday as if it were my own.
