Not only has Brenda worked in the travel industry for more than 20 years, but she has travelled to all seven of the world’s continents — a feat she achieved before the age of 40! All of this, along with a CLIA Ambassadorship, ensures that she is just the right person to help you plan your next holiday of a lifetime.
It’s safe to say that when it comes to booking holidays, Brenda has probably been there and done that in all the right ways. She is more than happy to share her insider tips and expert knowledge in how you can turn a great trip into something you’ll remember for a lifetime. In fact, helping her clients do just that is one of her favourite aspects of working in the industry.
“The smile and excitement people get on their face when I have booked their dream holiday, whether it be $5,000 or $100,000 — priceless! It gives me tears. And when a client takes the time while on holidays to send a photo of them enjoying what I have put together for them is very rewarding.”
She has travelled to more than 60 countries herself, gathering a heap of expert know-how. And though she has quite literally been all around the world, she definitely has a favourite spot.
“Antarctica. There is nothing else like it on earth. It’s definitely a once-in-a-lifetime for most people. Amazing landscapes and animals. And, sitting on the ice while penguins and birds come up to nibble on your boots was incredible!”
When it comes to booking just the right holiday for her clients, Brenda will leave no stone unturned. This is especially true when it comes to cruising and adventure travel — two of her specialities.
“But, who doesn’t love a little luxury at the end of their trip?”
Whether you’re looking to book a luxury getaway or adventurous journey, or something in between, Brenda can lend a helping hand. Her expert knowledge will ensure your holiday ticks all the boxes, whilst incorporating all the extras that could only come from someone with Brenda’s expertise in travel.

Get to know me
What is the most amazing experience you have created for a client?
There are too many to name, but sending a three-generational family to meet Santa in Lapland was pretty special. After following an elf through the forest in -20 degree weather to find Santa's cottage, the kids walked in to meet Santa who greeted them by name!
What are your favourite destinations and why?
I have so many favourites. Antarctica, as it's so untouched and there's nothing else like it. Italy, for the pizza, pasta, and gelato - plus a lot of history and culture. The Maldives has such a chilled vibe - you can do as much or as little as you like. And Japan is so alive, it's like it never sleeps.
How do you go above and beyond for your clients?
Where possible, I like to make sure they have some sort of little surprise that they don't know they are getting - even if it is just a hand-written card in their hotel room or cruise cabin on arrival wishing them a happy holiday, or champers if they're celebrating a special occasion while on holiday.
Where is still on your bucket list?
My bucket list travel wish is to see a polar bear in the wild! And trekking to see the gorillas would be another unbelievable experience.
