About Me

Aussie Specialist Badge
Aussie Specialist Badge

Australia is a destination that always finds a way to surprise you even when you think you’ve seen it all.

I’ve had the privilege of exploring it twice: first as a traveler, then as a Luxury Buyer at the Australian Tourism Exchange (ATE), where I met with over 100 of the country’s top hoteliers, destination experts, and tourism partners. This experience deepened my understanding of Australia’s vast and varied luxury landscape — from world-class lodges and island escapes to immersive Aboriginal cultural experiences and wine-region indulgences.

After ATE, I joined an exclusive familiarization trip through Tasmania, uncovering the wild beauty of Hobart and its surroundings. Highlights included a private night tour at Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary, stargazing atop Mt. Wellington, and exploring the island’s artisanal food and art scene — proof that Tasmania is every bit as magical as the mainland, especially for milestone celebrations and meaningful escapes.

Before becoming a travel advisor, my husband and I also spent time in Melbourne, driving the iconic Great Ocean Road, sampling the city’s legendary coffee culture, browsing its markets, and soaking up the relaxed St. Kilda vibe.

These journeys have given me both the insider connections and the personal perspective to craft extraordinary, tailor-made itineraries across Australia — whether it’s wine-tasting in the Yarra Valley, diving in the Great Barrier Reef, or glamping beneath Tasmanian skies.

Ready to experience Australia beyond the ordinary? From its wild coastlines to its world class cities,  let's design a journey that celebrates your story.

Wonderful Tropical Vacation with my Daughter and Granddaughters
Reviewed By Grandma Kitty - Sioux Falls, SD | Traveled to Punta Cana | Dominican Republic | Caribbean
Dafny made the arrangements for a tropical getaway the was over the top! I was a bit reluctant to travel so far away and was absolutely thrilled to have experienced the DR. Dafny promised me I would be safe, relaxed and have a great time. The Hyatt Dreams Beach Macaco was beautiful. The beach was breathtaking. The transportation to and from the resort that Dafny lined up was excellent. I give a 100% outstanding review to Dafny, the resort...... Our Butler Jansel, pools, lifeguards, kids' activities, nightly entertainment, security, groundskeepers, restaurants, beverages, housekeeping and Easter celebration. Special thanks to staff members Jansel, Katerin, Mari, Diana, Jhony Bravo, Kenny and Mimi Meow. We had a 100% great experience. See you next year!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

The Perfect 25th Wedding Anniversary Trip
Reviewed By Jeff - Aiken, SC | Traveled to Negril | Jamaica | Caribbean
Dafny was a true God send. Life gets busy and as we approach our 25th wedding anniversary we weren’t sure if we could even do a trip like this (sandals, Negril Jamaica) with a son graduating from college and a son graduating from high school as well as aging parents. Working with Dafny gave us the confidence we needed to make it happen. She listened to each of us and was able to help us find the perfect spot. She checked in with us several times and we had so much fun touching base with her after our trip. She is amazing! Our trip was amazing! We had no idea that we even would want a photo shoot, but she scheduled one for us, knowing that it would be a great experience. She was able to help us find the perfect room type in location. I would highly recommend Dafny.

Fantastic trip to Punta Cana
Reviewed By Katy - Omaha, NE | Traveled to Dominican Republic | Caribbean
We recently traveled to Punta Cana and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. We had originally planned a trip to Mexico, but decided to change destinations at the last minute. Dafny handled the switch with incredible patience, kindness, and professionalism, making the entire process seamless and stress-free. The resort she recommended exceeded all of our expectations. It was spotless, safe, and perfectly suited for families. The food and drinks were outstanding, and every detail of our stay was thoughtfully arranged. Dafny truly took care of everything; flights, resort accommodations, transportation, and even travel insurance, so we could simply relax and enjoy our trip. We’re already looking forward to planning our next vacation with her. Thank you, Dafny, for such an amazing experience!

What a wonderful trip! Dafny is great!
Reviewed By Christy - La Toc | Traveled to St Lucia | South Africa | Africa
Dafny was very helpful in finding a location to suit our desires and needs. After the hurricane occured, Dafny was able to rebook our stay at a different wonderful resort! She also sent us wonderful information about our travel plans and itinerary several days before our arrival date. It was great information to have. She checked in on us as well and sent a nice note while at the resort.
