Over 50s personal travel planner
MY Personal Travel Planner is an independent boutique travel agency situated at 23 Bridge Street in Toowoomba. The locally owned and operated agency was established in 2009 by owner Ainsley Hardie with a strong desire to provide her clients with personalised and individualised attention when planning their holidays. Starting as a home based and mobile business, a growth in demand for services saw the permanent office in Toowoomba open in August 2012. Joined by staff member Penny Webster, the pair enjoys spending their days planning dream holidays for clients both internationally and domestically. “We take planning holidays seriously”, says owner Ainsley Hardie, “we put the same level of care and detail into our clients holidays as we would our own”. Both have travelled to a wide variety of destinations throughout Europe, North and South America, Africa, Asia, New Zealand and the Pacific on an international level but have also enjoyed holidays here in Australia through every state. They pride themselves on their personal knowledge of destinations and the varying experiences of travelling at different stages of life. Many of the agencies clients are in the over 50s bracket and as travel planners, Ainsley and Penny love working closely to understand what type of holiday their clients would like to ensure that a holiday is Your Holiday, Your Way. So whether it’s a European River Cruise, a week in a Tuscan villa with language, art or cooking classes, an adventure on the high seas cruising the South Pacific, Alaska, the Caribbean or Mediterranean, a week in historic and natural Tasmania or a wilderness trip to Canada and the majestic Rockies, My Personal Travel Planner can bring your dreams to reality. The agency is also able to help with booking rail tickets, Sky Trans flights to and from Sydney and other domestic travel arrangements. No appointment necessary, just call in or phone 4637 8235.
