    “I especially enjoy helping clients who are planning something really momentus like their first big trip, a family holiday or a honeymoon,” says Elise at Jamison Plaza Travel Associates.

    “To be part of that experience and play such a key role in creating important memories in their lives is important to me,” she says.

    “But wherever my clients want to go, I’m passionate about helping everyone have the best holiday possible, and I’m always sharing ideas for activities and experiences to ensure they get the best value for money.”

    A very memorable client of Elise’s once asked her to help organise their wedding day on board a cruise ship. “The cruise took in the beautiful Queensland coast and allowed them to combine their wedding and honeymoon into one magical holiday. The cruise company got involved as well too to ensure it was everything they could have imagined.”

    Elise is especially enthusiastic about family holidays and multi-generational travel. “Travelling with family and making long-term memories is always very special. I remember fondly the many holidays we took as a family when I was growing up, and now that I have children of my own these are memories to forever look back on and reminisce.”

    Prefer adults-only escapes? Elise says you can’t go wrong with a trip to Italy - her favourite spot on the map for food, culture and history. “The history of ancient Rome is amazing and the food and authenticity behind it is like nowhere else on the planet. I learned to make pasta in Rome!”

    Another tasty tip? “Don’t miss Botín Restaurant in Madrid for cuisine cooked the traditional way. It’s the world’s oldest restaurant - home to the best sangria in all of Spain and an amazing filet mignon too. They are famous for their Segovia suckling pig and the atmosphere is just perfect, every time.”

    From Fiji and Turkey to Vanuatu, Vietnam and the USA, Elise has the expertise to show you the best of any destination. She is your specialist for All-Inclusive holidays, family holidays, Ocean cruising, as well as Destination Weddings & Honeymoons. Elise is also a destination specialist for Australia, Europe, New Zealand and the South Pacific.

    Get to know me

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

    I take pride in crafting experiences that truly feel like a trip of a lifetime. I do this by paying attention to individual preferences and desires. Whether it's exploring iconic landmarks or venturing off the beaten path, I tailor every aspect of the itinerary to ensure a personalised and immersive experience.

    What is your number one travel tip?

    My top priority is to be prepared. Always pack a charger and a good book to keep yourself connected and entertained. Don't forget to include essential items in your carry-on bag - this way, if your checked luggage gets delayed or lost, you'll have everything you need at your fingertips.

    What are your favourite destinations and why?

    Spain has been a major highlight of my travels. I am particularly drawn to southern Spain because of its rich heritage and the convenience it offers. In just one day, you can enjoy the stunning coastal views of the Mediterranean, immerse yourself in the local traditions, and delve into the fascinating history.

    How do you go above and beyond for your clients?

    I listen attentively to my clients' needs from our very first interaction. I pride myself on responding promptly and maintaining open lines of communication. This proactive approach not only ensures that I am there for my clients during their trip but also allows me to gather valuable feedback post-trip.
