My Personal Travel Experience

I am the owner of Holidays Beckon, a travel & cruise agency offering a specialised & personal service to my clients.

I have been involved in the travel & tourism industry for over 15 years & hold a Certificate III in Travel. I am also a Cruise Line International Association (CLIA) Master.

Being born & raised in Darwin, I consider myself a Northern Territory specialist including the Top End & the Red Centre. I have a large circle of friends & acquaintances in Darwin who, together with myself, can offer expert advice & insider knowledge of travelling in the N.T.

I love to travel. It is truly one of my life passions! I have toured extensively through Europe including Croatia, Italy, France, Belgium, Spain, Greece, Iceland, & the UK, as well as Asia, Canada, the US (including Alaska) and New Zealand.

My favourite European destinations include Dubrovnik, Florence, & Barcelona. Some of my most memorable travel experiences have included snow-shoeing near Fraser in British Columbia & witnessing the magic of the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) near Reykjavik, Iceland.

I’ve helped clients research, plan & book extensive trips to destinations including South America, Ireland, & Thailand. I’ve also arranged travel for special interest groups & reunions.

My specialties include solo travel, cruising, music cruises, group travel, special events, organised tours, custom itineraries, & LGBTI travel.

I regularly undertake training and certification in the travel & tourism industry to ensure my skills and knowledge remain current.

You can search & book cruises, flights, hotels & tours worldwide on my website, with the added benefit of having my expertise & support just a chat away.

Be assured that you’re dealing with someone who cares deeply about your travel plans & is committed to an ongoing partnership beyond your first holiday!

I look forward to making your Holidays Beckon!
