Sydney Opera House

Australia is a blend of natural wonders, unique wildlife, vibrant cities, rich culture, and endless opportunities for adventure, making it a dream destination for many. It offers something for every type of traveler, whether you’re seeking relaxation, exploration, or a cultural journey.

During my time in Australia, I was fortunate to experience some of the most fascinating creatures on Earth, many of which can't be found anywhere else. Imagine seeing kangaroos hop across open plains, cuddling a koala, or seeing penguins in the wild. For animal enthusiasts, visiting Australia is like stepping into a live wildlife documentary.

I explored most of Victoria from the mountains to the coast and visited many of the small towns outside Melbourne. Each had its own vibe but all were friendly and welcoming. Culinary and drinking opportunities allow you to try local fare while gaining insights into area culture.

I was astonished by Melbourne's city center, it is a beautiful blend of historic architecture and modern engineering creating a vibrant and dynamic scene. It is easy to navigate on foot or via public transit. 

I cannot wait to explore more of Australia's treasures and help you plan the vacation of your dreams. Whether you want to experience the vastness of the outback, the majesty of the coastline, or the vitality of her metropolitan cities. Australia offers dynamic getaways for every type of traveller!

Fall Color Tour
Reviewed By Lisa - Westville, IL | Traveled to Telluride ~ Colorado ~ USA
Fall is my favorite time of year, and I wanted to see as much of the Colorado color as I could! Ms. Harris planned an unbelievable tour for me! I loved the clear, detailed itinerary I received before my trip to allow my mind to relax and not worry about the details. Ms. Harris had everything in order for my safe and happy travels. She arranged two separate 5 Star Resorts for me. First in Beaver Creek/Vail, then two nights in Mountain Village/Telluride. The Mountain Village property in particular, The Madeline, was really like nothing I had ever stayed in before. The views were spectacular, and the design of the resort was breathtaking! In the evenings there were fire bowls to light the path walking through the village, and live, smooth music filled the courtyard. There was a wide variety of food and beverage choices, including gourmet selections from their 5 Star Michelin Chef! Ms. Harris surpassed my expectations and hopes for this trip! What a whirlwind of fall beauty! Thank you!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

I contacted Lori for recommendations for a trip to North Carolina to visit family. Lori recommended accommodations at a nearby Resort close to my family’s residence. I was impressed with all the details Lori included, including information on the Resort, shopping, entertainment, etc. I highly recommend Lori based on the thoroughness she included in planning my trip!

Bucket List Trip
Reviewed By Willburr - Asheville, NC | Traveled to Grand Canyon ~ Arizona ~ USA
I really enjoyed working with Lori to plan my trip to the Grand Canyon. I was overwhelmed with all the options and didn't know where to start. Lori asked what kind of trip I wanted to have, my budget, places I wanted to see and activities I wanted to do, and provided me with a condensed list of choices across a range of prices. She was open to feedback and made sure that I was getting the trip I wanted. I'm so happy I connected with Lori!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Mixing Business and Leisure
Reviewed By Roger - Kearney, NE | Traveled to Asheville ~ North Carolina ~ USA
I recently visited Asheville, NC for the first time as part of a business trip where I needed to arrange my travel for work, but wanted to see the town while I was there. Lori found great a deal for me at a hotel within walking distance of downtown, which was a short commute from the airport. She also had several restaurant recommendations that offered a variety of culinary options. I really enjoyed the farm to table cuisine offered by several of the local establishments. I was able to take a day to myself to experience the Biltmore Estate and gardens which had amazing views and walking trails. I didn't realize all Asheville had to offer, but Lori clearly has a passion for the area and was able to arrange a great first visit. I will be back for sure!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Aloha Spirit in Oahu
Reviewed By Farm Girl - Savoy, IL | Traveled to Honolulu, Oahu ~ Hawaii ~ USA
Oahu was everything I imagined thanks to Lori's planning and recommendations! We visited the North Shore where we got to see surfers carving the legendary waves, while we took advantage of the local flavors from the food truck vendors. I have to say nothing compares to fresh pineapple and mahi tacos! Our beach rental put us steps from the ocean and close to several attractions we wanted to experience. I feel like we were able to optimize our time on the island, based on the accommodations and the amenities Lori arranged for us. I would definitely recommend Lori to anyone who wants to experience the aloha spirit for themselves.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
