Lisa Calabria
Owner
My love for travel started at an early age, my first cruise was at the tender age of 2 years old. A cruise from Australia to Italy – apparently I loved it and was a hit with the Italian crew!
More travel occurred over the years to come , this inspired me in achieving my dream job with Qantas which gave me great training and experience within the industry. A few years later I started work at CTM and have now been here for 20 years and have recently become the owner of the business since July 2019.
I have been fortunate enough to travel to many places around the world and if I had to choose some favourites it would be Russia, Vietnam, Denmark, Canada and the USA . Last but not least is Italy. Italy does have a place in my heart and I thoroughly enjoy creating itineraries with my clients for this destination and believe myself to be a bit of an expert in this area.
I am looking forward to travelling to many more places in the future such as Ireland, Spain, Alaska, the Kimberley’s and the Antarctic. Quite a diverse list!
Raika Naidoo
Travel Consultant
In the 80’s I enrolled into University to study Law, needless to say it was the height of civil unrest, and the wrong time to have a law degree… I decided to further my studies and follow my passion with a Diploma in Travel and Tourism in the early 90’s and then got employed by a travel agency and never looked back!
My favourite destination will have to be Egypt, my love for history, art and ancient culture will have to be the driving force for my love-affaie with Egypt… My most recent trip before COVID-19 was a trip to Ecuador, Galapagos Islands and the Amazon Rain Forest.
Maybe it’s time to brave the cold of Polar Regions, but who knows where my next adventure awaits…
Anyone can sell travel, when you come to our office you have the wealth of us being in travel for more than 28 years plus, as you would invest in a home, you would want to invest with a Travel Professional to build a dream holiday…
