Liz’s true value comes from her immeasurable experience. Having visited 75 countries spanning the alphabet from A to Z, and covering almost every letter in between, there are few places you could be travelling that she does not have first-hand insights to offer.

She has also lived and worked as a tour guide in Canada and Alaska as well as the UK and Europe. Liz’s knowledge of these areas is unsurpassed, allowing her to tailor amazing itineraries that meet your every expectation.

Having travelled so widely, you’d think it would be hard to choose a favourite travel destination, but this is not the case. “That’s easy”, she says. “Antarctica. Wow, just wow, Penguins, Glaciers, Whales what more could you ask for?”

But her single best memory is slightly further north, in Peru. “Hiking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu was the most amazing experience, the views along the trail are breathtaking, but pale in comparison to your first sight of the ancient city”.

Liz is also a mine of useful travel advice. These gems include a suggestion to wear flat shoes in Las Vegas.

“Wandering up and down the famous strip you can walk up to five kilometres in a single night”. She also has a hot tip on how to avoid queues at Disneyland. “Head straight to the rear left hand side of the park. There will be no queues for the rides for the first hour or two, as most people start at the front left or right hand side”

When asked what she loves about her role as a travel advisor, Liz says “seeing a client walk in with an idea and walk out with a plan and full of excitement is a win every day”.

Get to know me

What is the most amazing experience you have created for a client?

I planned an amazing post-cancer round the world trip for a couple, which included luxury cruises, touring and relaxing. It was such a joy bringing their dream holiday to life.

What is your number one travel tip?

Travel with an adaptor that has an Australian plug, USB ports and USB-C ports, so that you can charge multiple devices on your holiday.

What are your favourite destinations and why?

Antarctica is a mind-blowing destination just for the glaciers, whales and penguins alone. Canada is another favourite with its spectacular scenery and wildlife.

How do you go above and beyond for your clients?

I ensure that I get to know each client so that I can find the perfect experience tailored to you, whether it's a hotel, cruise or tour.

Liz's client testimonial

I have been booking my travel with Liz for approximately 15 years now. Even when she moved about 30 minutes away from me, I would still travel to receive her experience, knowledge and efficiency.
