Not only does Lolo have an abundance of personal travel experience to share; she can also offer a wealth of practical tips as a result of almost 20 years as an expert travel planner.
“I love my job because I get to travel the world every day through the adventures and stories of my lovely clients,” says Lolo. “If there’s anything that I can do or suggest to make their holiday better, I’ll go out of my way to make it happen.”
While Lolo’s talents as a travel advisor allow her to excel at planning all the details of a seamless holiday, she also advises her clients to leave some experiences up to fate.
“I really believe in taking time to slow down and people watch while you’re exploring a new destination,” says Lolo. “You never know what unexpected experiences are going to come your way, and that’s where the magic happens. I definitely believe that being organised will mean you have a more stress free holiday, but still – make sure you have time to simply enjoy it.”
Lolo’s clients love the thought she puts into their itineraries, which are always designed to make sure they enjoy the destination in a way that suits them personally. One of Lolo’s favourite career memories was arranging an adventure to the iconic Red Centre.
“My clients wanted to experience Australia’s Outback in a very undiluted way. Their itinerary included many nights of sleeping under the stars – no barriers between them and the heavens. It was a wonderful reminder of the beauty that we have right at our doorstep.”
Lolo’s favourite travel destination is Italy, which she loves for its vibrant food, culture and people. In her opinion it’s an ideal destination for family and small group travel, which are two of her areas of expertise.
“Although solo travel has many benefits, I think travelling with friends and family is so much fun. It’s an amazing feeling to share your travel experiences with loved ones, and you’ll always have the memories to bring you together as you reminisce years later.”
Ask Lolo her favourite travel memory and she’ll offer up her experience at the Palio in Siena, Italy.
“The Palio is as colloquial as it gets, and I loved experiencing it through the eyes of a local. It’s an ancient horse race where the city’s different areas, or contrade, choose a representative to ride for them in a race to end all races. The jockeys still wear the traditional colours and flags, and the crowd is simply electric. I would highly recommend it to anyone lucky enough to be offered the experience.”
