    For Cetina the highs of travel doesn't get much better than a memorable Christmas Eve spent in dynamic New York City, with the magical Christmas lights and ice-skating at the Rockefeller Centre.

    Cetina knows better than most that the ultimate travel experience is something very different for every person and whilst the United States and Canada are two of her favourite destinations, Cetina’s personal travel adventures have taken in 21 countries - all of which hold a special place in her heart.

    Working the travel industry is a dream come true for Cetina and over the past five years she has revelled in planning itineraries that have created memorable travel experiences for her clients. A favourite experience for Cetina was assembling an round the world trip of a lifetime for a special family, including a stop-over in Malaysia, a 10 day pilgrimage walk in Israel and a holiday in the USA.

    Apart from her love of traveling to - and booking client itineraries to - the USA, Canada, United Kingdom and Europe, Bali is another favourite closer to home. She does believe the world truly is your oyster with any destination new and different appeals to her sense of adventure.

    Get to know me

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

    I curated a 3-week, all-inclusive luxury lodge & cruise itinerary through Patagonia and the Chilean Fjords for a client’s special birthday. The journey showcased breathtaking mountains, glacial lakes, and waterfalls and immersed them in local culture and hospitality for a one-of-a-kind celebration.

    What is your number one travel tip?

    Always take a carry-on with essential items and a complete change of clothes - perfect for long layovers and delayed or lost checked baggage.

    What are your favourite destinations and why?

    From ringing in the New Year in Times Square to a magical Christmas at Disneyland Paris, I’ve loved every adventure. Iguazú Falls' raw beauty is unforgettable, the Maldives' waters are perfect for snorkelling, and trekking Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park to see mountain gorillas was a surreal experience.

    How do you go above and beyond for your clients?

    My experience extends to both business & leisure travellers, and I pride myself on creating personalised and tailor-made travel itineraries with meticulous attention to detail to ensure all my clients have an amazing travel experience from start to finish.
