Get to know me
What is the most amazing experience you have created for a client?
Several come to mind; I most recently arranged a celebratory Christmas at The Plaza in New York City for my client that also included a meet and greet with some of the Rockettes, and a private tour of The Met.
What are your favourite destinations and why?
London is a classic go-to for the history and great hotels. Closer to home, New Zealand is a good choice for the scenery and the world-class food. Singapore and Thailand are also at the top of my list for the mix of incredible hotels, interesting food and for easy access from Australia.
How do you go above and beyond for your clients?
By always being available, my clients know they can reach me at any time. If there is a little something special that I arrange for a client, I'm happy to do so - whether it be a favourite variety of wine, or tote bags and caps from a hotel they'll be staying in!
Where is still on your bucket list?
South Africa is a country that has been on my wish list for a while - seeing the "Big Five", staying in luxury lodges and going on a private safari. Greece, with its beautiful islands and ancient history, is also a dream destination that ticks all the boxes for a luxury holiday.
