Kate is a home-based travel advisor in the Shepparton area that has a wealth of expertise to share. Kate’s favourite travel memory is her first white Christmas at Lake Tahoe in the USA when she was just a teenager. Perhaps it was this that helped define her favourite destination – Whistler in winter.

“I love the atmosphere in the village and all the different bars and dining options on offer. For me, nothing beats the Fairmont Chateau Whistler at Christmas. After a big day on the slopes its wonderful to relax with a drink in The Mallard Lounge followed by a swim in the heated outdoor pool surrounded by snow”.

It’s hardly surprising given this passion that Kate specialises in holidays to the USA and Canada. So if you are thinking of travelling there, regardless of the season, Kate will be able to offer insightful suggestions of where to visit, the best hotels to stay in and the wonderful range of experiences you can enjoy during your holiday.

She’s also your go-to for ski and snow holidays, as she can recommend a ski resort with slopes to match the skill level of your party, as well as highlight surrounding attractions for any non-skiers in the group.

While those are her specialties, with more than a decade of experience in the travel industry, Kate is equally adept at booking all styles of travel to destinations around the globe.

Where is still on your travel bucket list?

There are still several incredible places on my travel bucket list that I’m eager to explore. I’m fascinated by Antarctica’s raw, untouched beauty and the unique opportunity to experience a truly remote environment. I’ve always been drawn to ancient history, and Egypt is like a living museum. From the iconic Pyramids of Giza to the temples of Luxor and the Valley of the Kings, it’s a place where history feels alive. I’d love to cruise the Nile and immerse myself in the culture.

What is your number one travel tip?

Enjoy the place you are visiting and focus on creating memories that will last a lifetime. It’s easy to get caught up in ticking off landmarks or capturing the perfect photo for social media, but the most meaningful experiences come when you slow down and breathe in your surroundings. Take the time to soak in the culture, engage with locals, try the food, listen to the language, and embrace every moment. Be present, even if things don’t go exactly as planned—sometimes, the unexpected moments become the best stories!
