Marita’s genuine interest with individuals from various backgrounds is evident in her commitment to building long lasting relationships with clients.

Having travelled all over the world, you can be sure that Marita has been there and done that or knows some-one that has! Some of her favourite destinations include Greece, Italy, Egypt and Africa. She has travelled to Spain, Portugal and the Cook Islands. Marita enjoyed a week of cycling in Croatia, followed by a delightful European River Cruise with Avalon. 

Marita has been escorting groups since 2016, covering diverse destinations such as South America, Canada & Alaska, The Gulf Savannah Way, Cape York, Uluru and iconic rail journeys like The Indian Pacific, The Ghan and the Great Southern.

Marita received an award for outstanding achievement within her first 12 months of business. Despite the challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic, neither Marita nor her business faltered. Today, the business has proudly earned a Bronze Award with Travellers Choice.
