Carolyn Rogers

I thoroughly enjoy being a travel consultant and have done so for over seven years. Having always planned my own holidays, I am thrilled to be helping my clients plan their 'dream trip'.

Some of the destinations that I have been to include New Zealand, Vanuatu, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Hawaii, USA, Canada, the UK and Europe.

I have cruised both the South Pacific and Asia and also experienced yachting, snow skiing and motor home holidays. There are so many favourite places I have travelled to around the world, and I love to experience new destinations. I next plan to visit the Greek Islands in addition to enjoying a 'Canadian White Christmas'.

I have also been fortunate to have spent the last three months travelling around our own beautful country of Australia.

Nicole Rappel

Nicole has more or less come full circle – starting her first job in travel at Jetset Waurn Ponds in 1994, Nicole has recently rejoined our team after living in the UK for the past 10 years.

"I definitely have a travel addiction!"

I've been very lucky to explore the delights of the world... I can't list them all, but here are some highlights: the Northern Lights at the Ice Hotel, dancing at Rio Carnival, vineyard châteaux, Gaudi, New York breakfasts, bungee jumping at Victoria Falls, the idyllic Maldives, Greek island sunsets, candlelit silent canyon walk in Petra, Red Square, Italian shoes, Asia for the food, the green grass of Wales, anytime day or night in London, and, of course, our very own Aussie beaches!

Family friendly holidays are now my personal priority, with a toddler to entertain, you need to be on the lookout for great spots to suit the whole family!
