Hi, I’m Jade Garlick – your go-to travel expert and self-confessed travel addict! With over a decade of industry experience and adventures in more than 35 countries, I’ve turned my love of exploring the world into a career I absolutely adore. My personal favorites? Africa (safaris have my heart!) and the Maldives – paradise on earth.
My love affair with travel began with an early European adventure that changed everything. I even deferred my Bachelor of Policing because, let’s be honest, the travel bug had bitten hard, and I wasn’t looking back. Fun fact: I landed my first job in the travel industry while soaking up the sun in Santorini. Talk about living the dream!
Now, I’m all about creating tailor-made holidays that are as unique as you are. Sure, anyone can book a trip online, but I specialise in crafting experiences packed with thoughtful touches and unforgettable surprises. From luxury getaways to family adventures, I make sure every detail is just right so you can relax and make incredible memories.
Here’s what you’ll get when you book with me:
Inside knowledge and personalised advice you won’t find on the internet.
Someone who genuinely cares about your holiday as much as you do.
A personal travel superhero ready to save the day if things go off course while you’re far from home.
No travel request is too big or too small – I love a challenge and take pride in going above and beyond for every client (and the friends and family they refer!).
Let’s make your dream trip a reality. Where to next?

Jade is experienced and knowledgeable in all things travel. She spent time understanding our family and what we wanted from our trip. This resulted in a wonderful seamless holiday through Italy and Singapore. Jade is so easy to deal with, responsive and organised. Highly recommend.

Jade is amazing in finding you the best deals for value and luxury. I have never used any other agent other than Jade since she started in the travel industry. I trust her decisions in knowing what you need for that special escape. Her advice is always spot on with adventures that you would totally enjoy.

Jade has been booking my holidays since she started, her attention to detail is impeccable. Because of her life experience in travel, she has a vast knowledge and organises it all to the last details, ensuring I have the best holiday. The activities she recommends are next level. Thank you for all you do. It is really appreciated.

I’m just so blessed to have found Jade! I was at a loss when my previous travel agent went unexpectedly on holidays within 4 weeks of my first overseas holiday with my two boys. I hadn’t booked flights and had no idea where to start. She happily took over the process for me, helping me book flights and then recommend me and booked the best hotel, hotel transfers and tours for us through Spain, Portugal and Italy. She also suggested Barcelona instead of a whole stay in Madrid which was a highlight of ours, and Lake Como when we stayed in Milan! We just love Jade, and cannot wait to book her again for our trips in 2025 to Portugal and Brazil! Thanks Jade! Kristy, Logan and Ashton x

Jade helped my husband and I prepare a three month holiday starting with a wedding in the US, visiting family in Canada and several different tours in Europe. She was always responsive, insightful and planned a terrific trip for us. When my husband unfortunately had a cycling accident in Italy towards the end of our trip she worked tirelessly to get us home ASAP. We would highly recommend Jade at ‘Roast and Roam’ to anyone wanting an extremely competent agent to assist them with their travel needs.

We found great value in using Jade Garlick to coordinate our Honeymoon trip. She was extremely helpful and made the whole process stress free. Jade also managed some last minute changes to our itinerary quite quickly and in a cost-effective way. We received a couple of little surprises from her while on our trip, which was also a special touch. Would highly recommend!
