Kylie has been exploring the world's incredible places and unique cultures since her first overseas trip to Thailand in 1985. That is where her passion for travel and (Thai food) all began. Since then, she has travelled to over 40 different countries and embarked on some truly amazing adventures.
She searched for the endangered Mountain Gorilla in Uganda, Hot Air Ballooned over the World Heritage Pagoda's in Myanmar, hiked the 4-day trek to Machu Picchu in Peru and walked along the Camino de Santiago in Spain.
Kylie loves introducing her clients to holidays that may be a little less known to many and venture on roads less travelled. She truly believes it's these kinds of holidays where you find the real heartbeat of the country.
As much as she loves exploring outside Australia, Kylie adores many of our local national treasures. As a native Queenslander, she has visited the Great Barrier Reef and Daintree Forest, and in the NT has explored Uluru, Kings Canyon and Kakadu National Park.
Her experiences have taught her how to curate complex group itineraries for her corporate and private clients. She has even accompanyed groups as their agent on trekking tours to South America and Europe.
Throughout her 14 years of experience in the travel Industry, she prides herself on building strong relationships with all of her clients and delivering a personalised level of service that ensures they enjoy an amazing and unique travel experience every single time.
"With the unpredictable nature of travel, there is no greater feeling for me than just being there to assist my clients from both here in Australia and whilst on location overseas!" - Kylie Atkins.

Get to know me
What is the most amazing experience you have created for a client?
A Vietnam holiday for six friends celebrating a 50th birthday was an experience to remember! None of them had been before, but from the moment they arrived, they were incredibly well taken care of. The trip was filled with uniquely local, one-of-a-kind experiences: cycling through the vibrant streets of Ho Chi Minh City, indulging in a mouthwatering foodie tour in Hoi An, and sailing on a private boat amidst the stunning limestone formations of Halong Bay.
What is your number one travel tip?
When I visited Europe for the first time, my tour guide shared a piece of wisdom that has stayed with me ever since: 'It's not wrong, it's just different!' This thought has helped me navigate experiences that didn’t always align with my own beliefs and values. It’s a reminder to stay open to diversity - after all, we live in a very big world, and not everyone is the same!
What are your favourite destinations and why?
Morocco is such a magical destination, and its vibrant culture and cuisine are definitely unforgettable! It's unique blend of Berber, Arabian, and European influences help shape its modern-day identity, and the architecture and medinas are a one-of-a-kind cultural experience! Once you have tried their beautifully cooked lamb and vegetable tagines it is hard not to keep going back for more!
How do you go above and beyond for your clients?
Every holiday itinerary I create is tailored to the client’s needs. I ask plenty of questions to understand their preferences and then craft their perfect trip. If there's a special occasion or a unique experience they'd like to have, I make it a priority to make it happen! The world feels much bigger now, with endless avenues to pursue that allow me to turn their dreams into reality!
