Lela Hopkins - Travel Agent Chifley

Hi! Thanks for visiting my web page. A little about me and my travel service.

My experience is extensive within the travel industry and I am passionate about sharing my skills with you to help create the travel experience of a lifetime. I have assisted travellers in a leisure and corporate capacity, so whatever your travel needs, I am ready, able and most willing!

My passion for a personal travel experience is the reason I have embraced the Travel Counsellors philosophy. Every traveller is different, every travel experience unique, and my aim is to ensure your travel experience exceeds your hopes and dreams.

I have extensive experience in adventure travel and a keen interest in the far reaches of the globe. If you are looking to explore the remote parts of the world, I would be very excited to help you get there!!

I have a passion for food – be it Christmas tuna empanadas in Galicia or a hot dog from a street vendor in New Orleans; I’m an animal lover - a giraffe and zebra roadblock in South Africa was an incredible experience; I love shopping - from Istanbul's Grand Bazaar to Chiang Mai's busy Night Markets; I enjoy adventure - swimming with sharks and rays in Belize was thrilling; and I am also very fond of relaxation - sunshine and cocktails in Cancun was true indulgence. But it is the people I have met that have truly shaped my travel experiences - Monks in Luang Prabang eager to share their English skills, children in Honduras keen to pose in my sunglasses and photograph their friends, a gondolier in Venice overzealous to provide the soundtrack to my gondola ride. These are the experiences I cherish most ... and these are the experiences I wish upon fellow travellers!

I have a special love for Laos and her beautiful people, and I am a passionate advocate of responsible and sustainable travel. The world is filled with a myriad of beautiful and personal experiences we should treasure for generations to come.

If you’re looking for enthusiastic advice from someone who loves travel as much as you do, then please don’t hesitate to call!
