Australia

In Australia, you'll be met by friendly people, wide open spaces and sparkling cities, while glacier-carved fjords and soaring mountains welcome you to New Zealand. In destinations as fascinating as Australia and New Zealand, each experience is certain to be a new one. Australia and New Zealand are a fascinating contrast - ancient, monumental, contemporary cities. I have toured Australia and New Zealand both professionally and personally. I promise you that nothing will prepare you for the extraordinary beauty of both Australia and New Zealand. I have traveled to 60 countries and cruised 121 times. Add the hands on knowledge to 30 years worth of training, and I am the specialist for you.
