Let Me Plan Your Trip to Australia!

Australia shaped who I am. From the golden shores of Surfers Paradise to the graffitied alleyways of Melbourne, my time in Australia has been filled with the kind of experiences you carry with you forever. That’s why I believe I’m the perfect person to plan an unforgettable trip to the Land Down Under: I know the country not just from a tourist’s lens, but from living, working, loving, and growing there.

My first encounter with Australia came during a study abroad semester at Griffith University on the Gold Coast. I lived in Surfers Paradise, a name that lived up to every expectation. Between lectures and late-night Tooheys-fueled adventures, I dove into the culture, literally and figuratively. I lived with four Australians who became my first true connection to the country. Through them, I learned Aussie slang, proper meat pie etiquette, and how to appreciate the laid-back lifestyle that defines the coast.

One of my proudest (and most touristy) moments was holding a koala, fulfilling a childhood dream. Another was learning to surf in Byron Bay. Though my attempt was marked by an unfortunate (and visible) booger moment in front of my painfully attractive surf instructor. I still laugh about that day. These moments, while funny and sometimes awkward, are part of what makes Australia so memorable. It invites you to drop your guard and embrace the ride.

Later, I returned to live in Melbourne, a city that matched my creative, eclectic side. I spent 2.5 years between Collingwood and South Yarra, neighborhoods that felt like different worlds yet both so vibrantly Melbourne. I managed a paleo café, where I learned the pulse of daily life and earned regulars who treated me like family. On weekends, I’d head to the 12 Apostles for a taste of grandeur or dance under the stars at bush doofs. Those wild, open-air music festivals that define Aussie subculture.

I fell in love in Australia...both with a person and with life itself. I saw kangaroos in the peaceful countryside and watched the sunrise at Bondi Beach, quietly regretting not jumping into the iconic Icebergs pool. I made friends who became family, whose voices I still hear when I crack open a Tooheys or hear a didgeridoo in the distance.

Australia isn’t just stunning landscapes and exciting cities; it’s the people, the disposition, and the little moments the sunburned noses, Vegemite debates (always a layer on toast WITH butter), and spontaneous road trips. Because I’ve lived these experiences firsthand, I understand how to design a trip that captures the heart and soul of Australia beyond the postcards.

I’ve seen the country from both the inside and outside. I’ve lived like a local and loved like a traveler. I know where the magic hides, whether it’s a beach shack in Byron, a Melbourne laneway café, or a hidden lookout in the bush. I want to share that magic, raw, real, and unforgettable with you!
