Driven by an insatiable curiosity, Joanne embarked on an extensive, nearly two-year adventure through England, Scotland and France. She immersed herself in British culture, experiencing everything from the bustling streets of London and the charm of Mevagissey's coastal towns to the lively spirit of Glasgow. As Joanne reflects, "The ancient castles, weathered churches and warm embrace of traditional pubs deepened my love for this history-soaked land and ultimately led me to a career in travel." Her journey continued in Bangkok, where she delved into the city's rich tapestry of culture, from the tranquil beauty of Wat Pho to the vibrant Damnoen Saduak floating market. "Navigating the city by bus was an adventure in itself," Joanne recounts, "allowing us to immerse ourselves in the local culture and witness the everyday life of its friendly people."

Joanne's adventures also include a memorable month-long family expedition through California, Arizona and Nevada. The magic of Disneyland, the iconic experiences of San Francisco and the tranquil majesty of Yosemite National Park, with wildlife frolicking against the backdrop of El Capitan and Yosemite Falls, created lasting memories. Los Angeles offered its signature dazzle, while Las Vegas thrilled with its neon energy. However, the true highlight was a humbling journey to the Grand Canyon. "The sheer scale and vastness of the canyon was a humbling reminder of our planet’s extraordinary beauty."

Her adventures then led her to the vibrant heart of Argentina, Buenos Aires, where she explored the colourful, artistic street of Caminito and the architectural marvel of Recoleta Cemetery. From there, an extraordinary Quark cruise on the "Patagonia Essentials" itinerary unfolded, revealing the breathtaking majesty of the region. This unforgettable journey included navigating majestic glaciers, witnessing the dramatic peaks of Torres del Paine National Park and exploring the dynamic city of Santiago.

Leveraging her extensive personal travel experiences, Joanne now specialises in crafting one-of-a-kind journeys for her clients. "Whether it's exploring urban landscapes, a romantic getaway, or finding tranquillity in nature, I design journeys that perfectly match my clients' interests." Her expertise is exemplified by a lavish New York honeymoon meticulously arranged for a former Australian cricket captain and his bride. "While I can't reveal names, we orchestrated every detail: First Class flights, a five-star hotel overlooking Central Park with the room adorned with rose petals and candles, and a romantic carriage ride that made the bride feel like a princess."

Joanne's unparalleled knowledge is further honed by her professional background as a travel agent in Woking, England and Sydney, in addition to her experience representing 6,500 global hotels at a hotel reservation and marketing company. This diverse experience ensures that every travel experience she designs is exceptional. "To me, bespoke travel means surpassing my clients' expectations every step of the way and making magical memories they will cherish for a lifetime. I leave no stone unturned to achieve that for my clients."
