    Speaking to Anita, it's evident how much she values her clients and it's clear she will go to great lengths to craft them a memorable holiday.

    I treasure the relationships I've built with my clients over the years," she says. "They trust me with their precious time so I always approach their itineraries with care and thoughtfulness, as if the holidays are my own."

    This Travel Manager loves a challenge, which is why she particularly enjoys working with business clients and coordinating their complex - and sometimes, last minute - travel itineraries. And, as a member of the Virtuoso network, Anita has access to special bonuses and travel perks.

    For those seeking less work and more play, Anita is an expert in European holidays.  "Europe is my passion," she says. "From the ornate castles of the Czech Republic to the stunning islands of Greece and Croatia; the mountain ranges of Austria, Switzerland and France to the rich history of Germany. I'm lucky to have experienced these destinations first-hand and love advising my clients on how to get the most out of their European getaway."

    Anita believes an overseas adventure begins as soon as the planning is underway. "It's just as important to view this dreaming and anticipation as part of the journey," she says. "The holiday itself always ends far too quickly."

    It's this infectious positive attitude, which makes her one of the most sought-after consultants in the business. Her professionalism is further complemented by a wealth of worldly experiences.

    Anita has sailed the Nile on a traditional Felucca, taken a donkey ride through the Valley of the Kings and explored Nubia from camel’s back. She says there are endless adventures to be had when it comes to Egypt, Jordan and Israel. "If you're after an unforgettable view, head up to the rooftops of the Old City of Jerusalem."

    If you love the outdoors, Anita can devise a breathtaking journey to South America, to places like Patagonia, which offers wild and unrivalled views of mountain ranges, like the world-famous Torres del Paine. “The scenery in this part of the world is so dramatic," she says. "It truly is a once in a lifetime experience."

    Beyond the researching, planning and booking, Anita says it’s the relationship she has with her clients that she loves most about her job. "I love helping them to plan amazing trips around the world," she says.  “The loyalty I have built with these people over the course of my 14-year career is not something I take for granted.”

    Get to know me

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

    My hope is that every trip I organise with my clients is an amazing experience. Some itineraries are more involved than others, but none are any less special.

    What is your number one travel tip?

    Allow your favourite travel consultant to assist you with your planning! Enjoy the journey from the beginning - from the moment you start to plan, followed by your time away, then the memories upon your return. Trips can be life-changing experiences, so definitely savour each one.

    What are your favourite destinations and why?

    Europe is my all-time favourite destination. I love the mountains, the villages, the food, and the people. There is so much to see, it's easy enough to travel to and explore every year, if you wanted to!

    How do you go above and beyond for your clients?

    I try to simplify things for my clients, which means not offering too many choices at once. It's about understanding their travel needs and using your experience to offer valuable recommendations. Excitement should start with the planning as our holidays never last long enough!
