"Charmaine has saved my bacon twice now with difficult routes after I had searched for several days without success. She sorted everything from the other side of the world within 48 hours. Thank you soooo much!"

Karena de Souza

"I’ve not long booked a holiday through Charmaine. It was the easiest most efficient stress free holiday I’ve ever booked!!! Awesome service and knowledge. Looking forward to my trip now 😊"

Leanne Ashley

"Charmaine is a well organised travel broker who thinks of everything. She made my overseas trip really easy to plan because she did it all for me including finding the best prices. I absolutely recommend her."

Margot Young, Wellington

"Charmaine has been amazing. We only had a vague idea about where we wanted to go as a family. Over dozens of messages she helped us whittle it down and we'd decided on Bali. Charmaine has guided us with where to stay and nice activities for the children. I feel safe taking my kids to such a foreign experience because Charmaine will be available 24/7 if anything goes wrong."

Rachel Dudfiled

"We have just had the trip of a life time to Europe thanks to Charmaine our travel agent from Hop Abroad. We feel she did an outstanding job. Charmaine made planning for the trip easy with her experience and expertise. Our apartments exceeded our expectations and were in really good locations. The tours she recommended were all fantastic and included Granville Island Market tour in Vancouver, Cinque Terre tour in Florence and Vatican, Sistine and Raphael’s tour in Rome. We really appreciated all the personal time and effort Charmaine gave us answering any questions or concerns we had about our trip. We highly recommend Charmaine and we can’t wait to book another trip with her."

Meet Charmaine

I have been in the industry since 2002 and on my own since 2006. The catalyst was the birth of my daughter with many of my clients saying they wanted me to focus on her but still book their travel - so was there a way I could do both?

As it happened brokering was starting to become an option for us senior agents who didn’t want to work full time in a retail agency but still wanted to keep doing what we loved.

My clients built my business and in the early days even helped with child care/distraction as my daughter was considered, by them, part of my sales team so she had to come with me when I visited them.

Each day is different, I get bored easily so planning a Gold Coast holiday one minute and a Northern Lights experience the next gets me going. I love to learn and there is nothing like being paid to learn about the best places to go, what to see and do and where to eat.
