My own love affair with travel began as a child, being taken on many and varied family holidays, both overseas, and on road trips around Australia. Needless to say, I was bitten by the ‘travel bug’!

It quickly made sense to make a career out of something I enjoy doing – travelling, and gaining the education and personal growth that comes along with visiting different places, experiencing different cultures, and meeting people from all walks of life, all over the world. Being a Personal Travel Manager is a very positive and great job to do, and is one that I’m passionate about – creating, planning and organising all sorts of holidays, which meet and exceed my client’s expectations, and realises their dreams!

Even though I offer and can organise the entire spectrum of travel products and services available, my specialties include organising family holidays (being a mum myself), rail travel, honeymoons, coach touring, group travel & cruising. I am a “Master Cruise Consultant” and “CruiseManager”, which basically means that I am an expert in all things cruising!

I love writing…jotting down notes, tips & tricks about my travel adventures, that I get to share with my clients – so much so, that I’m currently writing a book on the subject…watch this space!

At our TravelManagers 2015 conference, I was very proud, honoured and thrilled to be announced as the winner of the 2015 TravelManagers’ “Spirit” Award. The description of the TravelManagers’ “Spirit” Award is: “This award is to recognise someone who’s everyday attitude and principles inspire and impregnate the thoughts, feelings and actions of all of us at TravelManagers. This award is for the person who lives, breathes and consistently demonstrates the heart and soul of TravelManagers. This award is open to any person within or external to TravelManagers who has been fundamental to developing, maintaining and enhancing TravelManagers’ unique culture.”

I was also proud and honoured to also be nominated as a finalist in both the ‘Innovation in Marketing’ Award, and the ‘Choice’ Award, voted on my fellow Personal Travel Managers, as a team player, helpful & good advocate for the company.

Think of me, being your Personal Travel Manager, the way you’d think of your personal trainer or financial planner – there to help you achieve a specific goal in their field of expertise. In my case, it’s travel. I realise that there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all, cookie cutter type of holiday. Whether you’re travelling for business or pleasure, I will work closely with you to create a tailor-made dream holiday that’s every bit “as individual as you are”, and is perfectly suited to you!

Whilst you’re away, please ‘share’ & ‘tag’ me in your own holiday photos, via your social media channels, and please ‘follow’ and ‘like’ me, via mine: @nicole_edgar_travelmanager | #nicoleedgarptm.

So, in the years to come, when you are looking back through all of your holiday photos with fond memories, as your Personal Travel Manager, I cherish the fact that I played a part in creating those positive memories for you. My goal is to enhance your overall travel experience, so that your entire journey is more than just your actual holiday. Enjoy the journey.
