Essential Downunder Travel, LLC was started in 1999.

 

G’Day, Mates!

Once I was a traveler in your shoes – trying to plan a trip DownUnder, but confused about information in guidebooks, on the internet, or at my neighborhood travel agency.

Then as I traveled extensively in Australia and New Zealand, I met many Americans who envied my trip.  They saw the tourist icons, but I camped in the outback, fished and sailed the isolated northwest coast of Australia, and kayaked turquoise bays in New Zealand. I saw koalas in the wild, while they went to zoos.  I’d stayed where the locals do, but they were in hotels packed with other Americans.   

In 1999, I opened Essential DownUnder Travel so I could design custom itineraries.  I work with you to plan your trip, based on my personal experience plus the feedback from hundreds of satisfied clients.    

Previously, I was a writer/journalist for over 35 years, focusing on travel and history.  My articles were published in Gannett Newspapers and a variety of magazines.  Recently I completed writing a book titled The Great Australian Spirit:  One Woman’s Journey Inside the Outback. 

Don’t risk your hard-earned money and vacation time!  Put yourself in my hands!
