Australia Specialist

When I was a kid, I had dreams of going to Australia. My dreams have come true as an adult. I am now an Australia Specialist, with over 34 years of travel experience and have been there multiple times.  It is a fantastic destination for those those that love outdoor photography as I do.  I have had the opportunity to capture Ayers Rock at Sunset and sunrise, iridescent fish swimming among the Great Barrier Reef and trekking in Kings Canyon with the myriads of birds with their colorful plumage in flight! The nature lovers don't forget the less visited "top end" with the city of Darwin and then Kakadu National park.  Check out my pictures from the Yellow Water Cruises from the Yellow Water Billabong.   On my last trip, I got to check off not one but two bucket lists items, both surfing on Bondi Beach and the Sydney Bridge Climb. 


Let me help you check a few things off your bucket list... It will be an adventure you will never forget!

Bucket List trip!
This was our first time visiting Alaska and doing a cruise. What a wonderful experience it was! Jacqie was able to explain everything to us prior to our trip starting, so nothing was a surprise! Great experience that we will remember forever!

The Best Trip We Haven't Taken Yet
Jacqie listened to our desires and helped us chose a vacation location that best suited our hopes and needs. She created a luxurious trip within our budget. Once COVID hit and we had to cancel she did ALL THE WORK to get us refunds!
