‘Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the places and moments that take our breath away’

Welcome to the wonderful world of travel and thank you for taking the time to visit my site. My name is Samantha and I would be honoured to be your Personal Travel Counsellor.
I have been in the travel industry, both leisure and corporate, for many years and in that time I have been fortunate enough to travel extensively to the destinations that I sell, experiencing the different cultures and different ways of life that make all destinations unique. Travel has been my passion for as long as I can remember and I love sharing my experiences with others. Nothing pleases me more than hearing about clients travel dreams and being involved in making them come true.
In today’s hectic world many of us are time poor, the service I offer can assist you with this. I offer a personalised, honest and flexible service. You no longer have to line up and feel like just a number or spend hours searching the internet. The flexibility of working from home lets me fit into your lifestyle. Unlike the traditional retailers I am available at times that suit you.
My business is based purely on providing my customers with the highest possible levels of personal service at the best prices. Whatever your dream holiday or getaway may be, from a short break, tailor-made adventure of a lifetime, romantic honeymoon, fun family escape or a business trip, I have access to the very latest technology that assists me to organise the flights, accommodation and all additional travel services to make this happen.
I am proud to say that I am a Personal Travel Counsellor working with a supportive and professional company. Give me a call or send me an email and give me the opportunity to organise your next experience.
Warm regards
Samantha
Whatever your holiday needs I'm here to help you, so simply give me a call or send me an email with your contact details on and I can get things started for you:-

Samantha was exceptional in the service she gave. Sam made what was at times confusing and time consuming, to an easy step process to get the holiday we wanted and absolutely loved. Samantha was also very patient with my sometimes pedantic ways! Highly recommended. Thank you Sam!

Sam has been helpful in every way! Even when I've rang to organise accommodation with very short notice, there has been no panic. That has made me very appreciative of her skills and professional attitude.

Samantha has been amazingly helpful. We haven't done a lot of international travel, so her knowledge and experience was extremely valuable. She was very patient when we couldn't make decisions, and helped with more information when we weren't quite sure or wanted to look at something else. As she was able to talk from her own experiences, it helped with the planning of our family USA holiday. We highly recommend Samantha and will always tell others of her business.

Once again Samantha has provided the best price and service. We are at the point now that we don't even bother getting quotes from other agents, we just contact Samantha and leave it all up to her.

Sam organised a 3 week trip for us (3 adults) to Europe. As I was travelling with my parents I needed it to be a completely stress free, fully organised trip, with transfers, rail tickets and everything completely taken care of. Sam was amazing, she exceeded all our expectations of what we required. We travelled through 2 countries staying in 5 different cities, we commuted by plane, bus and train throughout and absolutely everything was planned to perfection. All our travel timings were fabulous, which was a feat in itself! There were no nasty surprises at all on our trip, and a couple of unforseeable hiccups (that were no fault of Sam's) were easily taken care of due to all the contact details we were given. We had an amazing trip, it was a pretty intense Itinerary we had requested, and Sam organised it beautifully. I would recommend Sam to anyone wanting an amazing trip that is well organised with all the little details taken care of. We will be going straight back to Sam for our next overseas adventure! THANK YOU SAM, it was a fabulous trip, and my job as "travel guide" was made so easy thanks to you and all your hard work. Monika

I am a well travelled person and part of the reason for that is my incredible agent Samantha. Nothing is too much trouble for her and she exhibits professionalism and patience in everything she does. I still remember a frantic phone call I made to her from Rome station. She was cool, calm and collected and helped resolve the situation from half way around the world. I have no hesitation in recommending Samantha for all your travel needs.

Over the past few years I have only turned to one agent for my travel needs, Samantha. Despite at times being on leave and at all hours of the day and night she has worked tirelesly to assist me in planning family holidays. Found solutions that I wouldnt have otherwise, no doubt saved me lots of dollars but overall has ensured all my travel requirements were covered, a genuinly good person.

Samantha is the epitome of the perfect travel agent. Nothing is a problem for her, she is prompt with replies to all your requests, and she is constantly updating you with relevant information. We will never use anyone else for our holidays because she can never be beaten for customer service.

From the moment I contacted Sam about this holiday, I was met with great enthusiasm and a wealth of personal knowledge that made Sam the perfect choice for helping me organise this trip. Sam was quick at getting back to me with thorough answers to every question I had. I highly recommend Sam and Travel Counsellors to anyone looking for genuine first-hand advice for any holiday destination.

Samantha has booked 2 overseas trips for me now & she's amazing at what she does. Nothing is too much effort for her & the convenience of having a travel consultant at hand almost any time of day is unbelieveably helpful. Samantha is professional but in my experiences with her, it's almost like a friend was organising it for us. Can't wait for our 5 week USA trip! Thanks Sam!

Sam has been my trusted travel agent for about 4 years now, and in this time she has booked 3 major overseas holidays for me, and provided countless quotes and pieces of advice. Sam organised the honeymoon registry for my wedding and provided all the stationery and details we needed. It was a relief to know I could cross that task off without lifting a finger! I now only book travel through Sam.

I would like to say Samantha is fantastic!!! I had been to 3 other travel agencies and had the worst experiences, I was considering cancelling my trip as I was not enjoying planning this trip which had to coincide with family also traveling from Melbourne. I was then recommended to Samantha. Samantha was fantastic and I will never even step foot in another travel agency as the service I received was second to none and especially the personal service...I actually felt like a customer not just a number walking into a store. THANKS SAM!!!

We went to a few different travel agencies before seeing Sam about our trip to Japan. We chose Sam not only for her competitive prices but also because she is a great communicator and responded to our phone calls and emails. We had a great holiday thanks to Sams organisational skills and the attention she paid to what we wanted out of our experience.

In organising our trip we were sooo disorganised till we found Samantha. With sincere thanks I write to express our gratitude in getting this family dream on the plane. 3 Countries in 3 weeks with 2 children and big expectations. Everything from the plane tricks to the 3am phone call when we lost a tour confirmation. Your Service, experience and most importantly - your patience was second to none. Thanks xx
