Kellie’s strength is people: understanding them, connecting with them and knowing how to prepare the perfect travel itinerary for them.
Take for example, some clients who had always dreamed of seeing the Northern Lights. Kellie arranged a life-changing trip to Finland where they could not only witness the Aurora Borealis but be completely immersed in it; by sleeping in an igloo with a glass roof. “Making people’s holiday dreams come true is what I love to do,” Kellie says modestly. “I thought, what could be better than waking up to see those world-famous lights right above you?”
Managing her client's dream itineraries is more than just a job to Kellie, it's her passion. And while she is based in Melbourne, no matter where you are based, she is available to her clients over the phone and email too.
Having worked as a Travel Manager for more than 30 years, Kellie has visited an array of amazing places around the world. She says Vietnam is one of her favourite destinations, because of its delicious food, beautiful beaches, stunning mountains and friendly people. “It has everything you could want in a holiday, all in one place,” she says.
If unique food and drink spots are your thing, ask Kellie about the speakeasy in New York City called Please Don’t Tell (PDT). She can tip you off about how to get into this super cool and secret bar, located at the back of a seemingly simple hot dog store.
Kellie enjoys working with all kinds of clients and is skilled at putting together a range of different holiday experiences; from flop and drop getaways to family vacations and everything in between. She says she especially enjoys helping those people who have recently retired and have worked hard to be able to travel later in life. “These guests deserve the utmost attention to detail, and to know they will be well looked after,” she says.
If you want to embark on a memory filled holiday, full of special touches, speak to Kellie to begin planning your next unforgettable time away.

Get to know me
What is the most amazing experience you have created for a client?
My most rewarding and humbling experience was arranging travel for several families to USA/Mexico during the challenging COVID restrictions, so their children could receive life saving treatment. After one success story, I was able to help a number of families that required travel support to seek medical treatment.
What is your number one travel tip?
Go with the flow and keep an open mind—travel is all about exploration and experience. I always tell my clients to spend at least one day without plans or expectations—just walk. You can never get lost, and I promise you’ll always discover something new.
What are your favourite destinations and why?
The Maldives is the most beautiful, luxurious, and relaxing destination I’ve ever been to. France is also a favourite of mine—there’s such a variety of places to explore, from countryside to city. It really has it all, including the most incredible food.
How do you go above and beyond for your clients?
I take the time to really listen to my clients and pour my attention to detail and love for their holiday into every aspect of the planning. My clients will always receive a personalised note at their first and last hotel - it's my way of showing they are one-of-a-kind to me!

Kellie's client testimonial
The best thing about Kellie is that she isn't one of those travel advisors that will just nod along with everything you say and tell you it's fantastic, she'll make the effort to listen to what kind of holiday you're looking for and make suggestions based on her experience. For the recent holiday I went on, I thought I knew what I wanted prior to booking but Kellie really fine-tuned it to create the holiday I needed.
