Our story
The story behind
the magic.
A family holiday. A lifelong love of travel. And a little magic that never quite faded.
My first overseas trip was a family holiday to Mauritius. It was magical, and the feeling never left me. That memory is where Magic Beaches began: a belief that the best holidays become part of us, in moments we carry long after we come home.
After returning from a Contiki European Experience in 2008, I began my travel career at Flight Centre. I later had the privilege of working as a roving consultant at Rennies Travel, learning how much personal care goes into a well-planned journey. Life brought more adventures: marriage to a TV producer, an introduction to the world of media and two beautiful daughters. Through it all, my love for travel never faded.
Today, Magic Beaches brings those worlds together. I help people find island holidays and beautiful coastal stays, with personal guidance from the first hello. As our YouTube journey begins, we’ll also share travel advice, coastal discoveries and the stories behind them. My hope is simple: to help you experience a little of the magic that has stayed with me.
