  I have the best job in the world; helping people with their travel plans! Travel has been a lifelong passion for me, and what better way to be connected with the world and its many people and places than by becoming a traveller myself, and a travel agent. I started my travel career in 1984 and have been fortunate to visit many countries, but somehow my "wish list" is still longer... there's lots to look forward to! I love to work on complex air itineraries and equally enjoy planning a relaxing holiday. I handle my client's travel as I do my own; with great care, professionalism and attention to detail. And to top it all off, Flight Centre travel partners are among the most respected in the industry, offering the best possible travel arrangements, for the best value. *** Countries I have visited: Australia, Fiji, New Zealand‎, Thailand, Hong Kong, Macau, UK, N Ireland, France, Germany, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Belgium, Denmark, Norway, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Antigua, Jamaica, Cuba, Mexico, USA, Hawaii, Bermuda, Brazil, Greece Next on my list?
