Meet the team at Naturaliste Travel

I have worked in the travel industry for over 28 years, starting with a regional airline in the eastern states which I did for 9 years before becoming a travel consultant for the last 19 years. I have travelled extensively throughout  the Pacific Islands  including New Zealand where I was a Kiwi Expert agent Appointed through tourism New Zealand . 

I have recently travelled to Italy , New York and Boston which I loved as destinations , being a foodie these destinations are right up there .   

I have worked in the Travel Industry for over 20 years starting briefly in Busselton before going to Broome for a few years. Whilst working in Broome I also did shift work at Broome Airport at the check in counter for Qantas which provided me with great insight into the entire booking process for air travel.

I then moved back to Busselton and opened Naturaliste Travel in 1997 in The West Busselton Shopping Centre and ran the agency as the sole owner until 2013.  From then until now the agency is owned in a three way partnership with Paul, Mary and myself.

One of my favourite destinations is SE Asia including Vietnam which  provides many highlights. From a walk through the rice paddies and a homestay in SaPa to a Bassac Boat cruise in The Mekong Delta, a new sight, sound or activity will never cease to amaze.

From a very young age it has been my passion to travel and experience new and exciting destinations so when I graduated from school many years ago I embarked on a career in travel.  I started my career in England and then moved to Australia.  I have worked and lived in both Broome and Busselton and I have now become a partner in Naturaliste Travel with Kevin and Paul.  I moved to Perth 2 years ago where I work from home and return to the office once a month.

I think travel is one of the most rewarding and enriching activities anyone can experience.  I have been fortunate enough to travel to many beautiful countries…. Canada, USA, England, Greece, Spain, France, Austria, Portugal and Mauritius to name a few.  I love helping clients create travel memories that last a lifetime, most of all I love hearing all about it when they return.
