Kylie’s travel list ticks off every continent (including Antarctica) – she’s literally circumnavigated the globe. Of course, much of this is thanks to her four years working aboard the luxurious cruise ships Queen Mary 2 and Queen Victoria.

She says, “I’m so lucky to have been able to visit so many different countries, from the wilds of Argentina to the desert kingdom of Oman. And it’s almost impossible to pick a favourite – every travel experience has been amazing for different reasons.”

Naturally, these years aboard have made her a firm advocate of cruising; and for her clients, there’s an even greater benefit – she’s experienced cruising from all perspectives: as a professional, a client and a staff member. So her cruise know-how is some of the best in the business.

If you want a cruise that’s really once-in-a-lifetime, Kylie would love to help you experience one of her favourite all-time travel memories. She reminisces, “Cruising to Antarctica was just amazing. When you get out onto the ice, the penguins come right up to you, completely unafraid. It truly was a life changing experience and certainly one that not everyone is lucky enough to have.”

For repeat visits though, Kylie says for her, nothing tops New York, with its famous galleries, museums, shopping, restaurants and architecture. She enthuses, “It has it all and something for everyone. There are simply not enough adjectives to describe it: Exhausting, Exhilarating, Diverse, Fast-Paced, Humbling, Inspiring, Non-stop, Evolving, Challenging, Unforgettable – and that’s just a start!”

It’s a big contrast to one of her favourite client bookings though – when she booked a blissful honeymoon to Bali, for a couple who came back raving about the relaxing combination of culture, shopping and beach.  She says, “They loved it so much, they’re going back for three weeks for their fifth year Anniversary.”

Kylie would love to help you plan your next trip – or just fine tune your already great plan.

Get to know me

What is the most amazing experience you have created for a client?

For a honeymoon in Bali, I arranged private airport transfers with a warm Balinese flower garland welcome, a stunning Ubud villa with a private butler, temple tours, indulgent spa treatments, and a private cooking class with a Balinese chef. It was pure magic for the couple!

What is your number one travel tip?

Sometimes, the best part of a trip is the people you meet along the way. I always recommend to my clients to try to connect with the locals - even just by sitting down in a café and absorbing their way of life.

What are your favourite destinations and why?

Antarctica is one of the last truly untouched and pristine places on Earth. Its vast, icy expanse offers an out-of-this-world escape, providing an experience that feels both humbling and awe-inspiring.

How do you go above and beyond for your clients?

When my clients come in for a consultation, I spend time getting to know them and understand their likes, dislikes, and travel styles. The more I know about their interests, the more I can tailor their experience to be one-of-a-kind.

She makes you feel you are her number one priority, as she always takes the time to go the extra mile to ensure your holiday is the best it can be. Her thorough knowledge of the travel industry, meticulous attention to detail, and wealth of personal experience is second to none.
