I spent five years as a travel agent in Cairns, calling the Great Barrier Reef home, before continuing my career in New Zealand. Now, based back in Australia on the Sunshine Coast, I love the region’s wildlife and quiet beaches. My knowledge of Australia and New Zealand is one of my strengths, and I’m excited to share the places and experiences that make this part of the world so special.
