Denise is a travel advisor that understands what it means to be listened to, and given the time to truly explore all the possibilities for your next escape. “I really value customer service,” she says. “I treat my clients’ holidays like I would my own.”
That means you can trust her to organise every aspect of your trip and get your holiday running like clockwork, near or far.
“The best part about working in travel is the response I get from my clients when they return home,” she says. “Whether it's a family taking their first cruise, or seasoned travellers doing something unique on their 'bucket list', providing the best possible experience and helping people create wonderful memories makes coming to work fun!”
Denise hasn’t always lived in Australia though. Originally from New York, it was while backpacking around Australia that she met her husband here and winded up staying for good! Having now lived on both the east and west coast of Australia and travelled our sunburnt land extensively, she’s seen much more of Australia than many Aussies have – making her a great source of advice.
She has also experienced the wonders of the USA, the UK, New Zealand, French Polynesia and Hong Kong, and has been fortunate enough to tick off quite a number of beautiful spots in Europe and Asia – taking her grand tally of countries visited to 30.
Her favourite place, however, is London. “I love going back to visit. There's always something new to see, but at the same time, so much stays the same. Never a dull moment!”
She also knows a little secret or two.
“I love the Ceremony of the Keys, which is a little-known night-time experience where a small number of people get to be there with the tower guards for the locking up of the Tower of London. It’s a ceremony that’s been going on for 700 years – being there for that is really special.”
Denise has also experienced the world of family cruising, so she’s a wealth of advice in this area – and in cruising in general, having worked for Cruiseabout before joining the amazing team at Low & James Travel Associates.
From taking in magical vistas of big wave surfers from her balcony in Hawaii to taking a private tour of WWI battlefields in the Somme, France, Denise knows what it takes to make a holiday not just great – but truly extraordinary.
With a wealth of experience, a passion for superior customer service and a love for travel that can’t be denied, Denise at Low & James Travel Associates is a travel advisor who really can make your next holiday your best escape yet.

Get to know me
What is your number one travel tip?
Don't overschedule yourself with too many tours, countries or travel days. Leave some time to immerse yourself in local areas.
What are your favourite destinations and why?
For me, nothing beats New York and Tokyo. They're both vibrant, exciting destinations where you'll never run out of places to explore. A classic favourite, Italy is not-to-be-missed for its people, culture, history, and scenery.
How do you go above and beyond for your clients?
I will answer clients' calls on weekends, and go out of my way to accommodate any requests when it comes to planning the perfect trip. It brings me great pleasure crafting one of a kind, tailored itineraries for my clients, based on their needs and desires. I also use my own personal travels to inform clients and give them advice about destinations.
Where is still on your bucket list?
A dream of mine is to enjoy the pure magic of the Northern Lights in a remote, tranquil setting. Reykjavik offers some of the best views of these magical skies, but Scotland's Isle of Skye is a lesser-known and surprisingly good location for spotting the aurora.
