Australia & New Zealand Specialist

Snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef, Australia

I am proud to be both an Australia & New Zealand specialist. These two fabulous destinations should be on your bucket list.

Australia is simply too large a country to be seen in one visit, unless you have unlimited time & resources. Think of Australia as a large pie. You eat it one slice at a time. Wildlife, culture, scenery & active adventure options abound. The Gold Coast south of Brisbane has some of the most amazing beaches I have ever seen. I spent a few nights in the Whitsundays, a group of island gems in the middle of the Great Barrier Reef. Pictures do not do the Whitsundays justice. Australia's indigenous Aboriginal culture is over 40,000 year old & should be included within your travels. Spending a couple of nights near Ayers Rock, in the middle of the outback, is a great way to immerse yourself in their ancient culture.

New Zealand is a much smaller country but gifted with astounding beauty and active adventure opportunities. Queensland on the South Island is the active adventure capital of the country. The bungee jumping craze actually started here. The Hobbit & Lord of the Rings movies were filmed on both the north & south islands of New Zealand because of the unique scenery.

The Best Spring Break!

Andre was incredibly easy and comfortable to work with. She advised us on great locations to visit in the Canary Islands, as well as found us affordable and convenient airfare and lodging. She had a variety of suggestions for us to choose from, giving us room to select what we wanted while still giving us valuable information. I would definitely work with her again and highly recommend her services.

Vacation Exceeded our Expectations

I can’t thank Andre enough for her expert guidance and services! We truly had an over-the-top family vacation 30th anniversary trip --with two grown children and their partners--at a Yucatan resort. Andre was always professional and personable. She took time to learn about our interests and values to give us a small selection from the many possible resorts. She promptly responded to any stupid questions and needs with genuine care, creativity, and competence. As relatively inexperienced travelers, we felt safe in her hands, knowing we could call with any worries (and we did!) of travel amidst a pandemic. We're grateful for the destination she led us to as well as for the direct flight with shuttle service she arranged. It was the most "stress-free-of-logistics"vacation ever and I won't hesitate to call her again.

The Perfect Combination

Communicative and great with brainstorming to achieve the perfect vacation. We wanted to be gone about 3 weeks with a minimum of packing and unpacking. Combining the transatlantic crossing , long weekend in Bath, Seine Riverboat cruise and stay in Paris covered all of our desires. The arrangements all went as planned with minimal disruption. We never could have come up with the itinerary and arrangements on our own. So important to work with someone so attentive to our wishes.
