For almost two decades, Cici McLeod has been weaving travel magic. Her passport, brimming with stamps from 26 countries, reflects a life infused with exploration. This passion spills into her work, where she crafts bespoke journeys that transcend expectations.
“Travel has the power to broaden perspectives, foster understanding, and create connections across borders,” says Cici, who thrives on discovering new destinations and immersing herself in different cultures.
"Being a travel advisor is more than just a job for me; it's a way to inspire and enable others to explore the wonders of our world,” says Cici. “It brings me so much joy to help people discover new places, create lasting memories, and embark on life-changing adventures.”
"My own favourite travel memory is of the first time I saw snow in Europe. It was magical," she recalls. "Stepping out of the airport, I was filled with awe as delicate snowflakes gently fell from the sky. The world transformed into a winter wonderland, with streets adorned with icicles and rooftops glistening in sunlight. It felt like stepping into a fairy tale. Even the sound of snow crunching under my boots added to the enchantment of the moment.”
Skiing some of the world's most esteemed slopes has solidified her love for winter escapes. “The thrill of skiing down pristine slopes, the serene beauty of snowy landscapes, and the cosy warmth of a mountain lodge are experiences I cherish. However, my passion for travel goes beyond my personal preferences.”
In fact, one of Cici’s most extraordinary undertakings was crafting a journey through South America. Starting with Machu Picchu's ancient ruins and Andean vistas in Peru, the journey continued through Chile's Atacama Desert for salt flats and starlit skies, followed by Rio de Janeiro's cultural landmarks. A guided Amazon jungle trek and a visit to Iguazu Falls, bridging Argentina and Brazil, were further highlights. The pinnacle was an expedition to Antarctica, encountering glaciers, penguins, and seals. "From ancient ruins to the icy wilderness of Antarctica, the itinerary allowed my clients to experience the unparalleled beauty and diversity of South America,” she says.
Cici doesn't just plan trips; she listens. Through in-depth consultations, she gets to the heart of your travel desires, uncovering your unique preferences, interests, and travel goals. This personalised approach ensures every detail, from accommodation to unforgettable activities, aligns perfectly with your vision. Her ultimate goal? To create a journey that becomes a treasured memory, not just a holiday.
Whether you're seeking a relaxing beach vacation, an epic ski adventure, or a luxurious escape, Cici is waiting to make it happen.

Get to know me
What is the most amazing experience you have created for a client?
I really enjoy planning amazing experiences for my clients, but most of all, I love firsts as they're always so special - like first passports, first flights, a first time overseas, or a first cruise. Being included in these experiences is such a joy.
What is your number one travel tip?
After everything is organised, I always tell my clients to to stay curious and open-minded. Some of the best travel experiences happen when you step out of your comfort zone, try something new, and embrace the unexpected.
What are your favourite destinations and why?
My favourite trip has been skiing in Japan. I love the snow, the people, the culture, and the traditions - also these ski resorts tend to be less crowded.
How do you go above and beyond for your clients?
I organise each holiday as if it were my own. I pay close attention to every detail, ensuring each client's experience is seamless, enjoyable, and truly unforgettable. I take the time to understand their preferences, interests, and dreams, tailoring each itinerary to create a personalised journey.
