Travel style
Let's delve into the art of travel, shall we?
For me, the ultimate journey lies where mindful exploration blends seamlessly with deeply enriching experiences. It is about seeking out those rare, authentic moments that resonate long after you return and contribute positively to the places we visit. Moving beyond the predictable, my passion is discovering those truly special experiences, whether it is carving through fresh powder in or uncovering a secluded, pristine beach in Koh Samui, Thailand. And yes, let us be honest, incredible culinary discoveries are always a central part of the itinerary! Crafting the perfect trip is an art, thoughtfully balancing savvy planning with those moments absolutely worth the splurge. It is about designing an experience that feels both effortless and extraordinary.

Peter's reviews
I had a great experience thanks to this amazing advisor! He helped me choose the best beaches and gave me so many helpful tips to make my trip even better. One of his great suggestions was to skip the limited hotel breakfast and head out to local spots instead. I ended up saving money and trying delicious new foods! He really took the time to understand what I was looking for in terms of beaches, food, and culture, and made sure I had the best options. Super easy to communicate with, friendly, and very understanding. Highly recommend!

Peter was great from beginning to end. He arranged welcome drinks, fruit, and a lovely card for our arrival. He worked hard with the hotel to ensure we were pampered well for our spa retreat. I highly recommend him on all our bookings! He goes above and beyond for his customers.

Peter did a great job of making sure I had a very nice stay my last night of this epic trip! It was very comfortable and easy, and I appreciated that right before my trip home.

Peter put me in a very eclectic neighborhood! And I did enjoy walking around and seeing what Fitzroy had to offer. I especially liked the tours he booked for me. I was able to go to Phillip Island and see penguins—a childhood dream fulfilled. Plus other wildlife and fabulous scenery. The Great Ocean Road Tour was fabulous. Scenic stops along the Victoria coast, including the wonderful 12 Apostles and a chance to see some koalas in the wild! That’s something you don’t get to do all the time. The small group experience was just right.
