HI, I'm Catherine, an independent Travel Advisor operating under Global Travel Network.
With more than 11 years’ experience in the industry, and a lifetime of travel both within Australia and around the world, I have the knowledge and understanding on what creates an amazing holiday experience.
Having spent 5 years living in the UK and the Netherlands, I used every opportunity to explore Europe. The diversity of cultures and experiences in such a relatively small geographical area was the perfect location to grow my love of travel, food experiences, culture and history.
My great love, beyond my young family, is Europe and all that encompasses it.
When not exploring the backroads of Europe, you will often find me enjoying some time out in South-East Asia. My first overseas trip was to Thailand where my love of travel was truly ignited. Always on the hunt for the best street food, and searching for remote beaches and National Parks to explore, I travel to South East Asia as soon as an opportunity allows.
I grew up all over Australia so know all corners of the land. You can never underestimate the beauty and diversity that exists in our own backyard and I believe there is a destination within our own borders to suit every traveller.
As a specialised luxury advisor, I can ensure you will enjoy the added benefits when staying in luxury hotels around the world. Travel is my absolute passion and not just a product. I want to ensure every trip for every client is an unforgettable experience, and will always go the extra mile to make your holiday truly unique and personal to you.
Having worked continuously through COVID, I have the knowledge and experience on how to navigate the future ways of travel.

I stumbled upon Catherine a few years ago when I started doing some work overseas in places I'd never been to and ultimately wasn't sure how to navigate the travel easily so I could focus on the work aspect and keep the stress levels low.There's no two ways about it. Catherine is so good at what she does, that I'd have a question pop into my mind in the middle of the night sometimes, and I'd grab my phone to try and work out the answers from my documents, only to find there's an email she'd sent me moments earlier on the exact subject.I always try to take a few days off when I do these trips to unwind at the end and I'm never disappointed with the recommendations I get from her. Long story short, if you're travelling, you've gotta call Catherine. I've had a few travel agents in the past, but never one who's on point as she is. I simply wont go anywhere else.

Catherine organized a beautiful trip for us and she took so much organisation and arranging out of our hands, which made us able to just enjoy. When our travels need to be adjusted due to weather conditions at one of our destinations, she arranged a wonderful plan B for us within a couple of hours. She is a true professional who really listens to what you want, gives very useful tips and advice, knows great activities and accommodations and pro-actively arranges everything that you otherwise would have to think about yourself. We would highly recommend her as your travel manager!
