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.

Why should I use a travel broker instead of booking online?
Anyone can book flights and accommodation online, but a travel broker gives you something a website cannot: experienced advice, personalised planning, and real support if things change.
Hop Abroad helps with the details, the timing, the route, the right suppliers and the little travel decisions that can make a big difference to your trip.
What kind of holidays can Hop Abroad help plan?
Hop Abroad can help with dream holidays, complex international itineraries, cruises, group travel, honeymoons, family trips, multi-stop adventures and once-in-a-lifetime travel experiences.
Whether you know exactly where you want to go or only have a rough idea, your trip can be shaped around your interests, budget, pace and travel style.
Can Hop Abroad help if something goes wrong while I’m travelling?
Yes. One of the biggest benefits of using Hop Abroad is having someone experienced to call if flights are cancelled, connections are missed, plans change or something unexpected happens.
You are not left trying to sort everything out alone from the other side of the world.
When should I contact Hop Abroad about my trip?
The earlier the better, especially for complex itineraries, cruises, peak-season travel, group trips or special experiences.
Getting in touch early gives more room to compare routes, choose suitable accommodation, plan the flow of the trip and avoid unnecessary stress closer to departure.
