Hey, I'm Tyla

Travel Guru

Age: 24

Where's home?

Originally born in Zimbabwe, I moved to The Land of Oz when I was super young.

I lived in the UK and Canada for a few years before moving back to Australia and now I live in Byron Bay.

Languages spoken:

Aussie Babbby!

Time spent in Australia:

All of my life apart from when I was on my travels : )

A little about me:

I’ve had the travel bug imprinted in me since I was a youngin. With moving around with family when I was young, attending 9 different schools growing up, it’s in my DNA to keep travelling and meeting people along the way! That being said, I am super lucky to have lived in the UK and Canada after graduating school and travelled to 22 countries (6/7 continents).

I’m always up to hang out with friends as well as heading to yoga class daily, walking around the markets in and around my area on the weekend, camping and currently learning how to ride the famous waves of the pristine beaches of Byron and surrounds!

Best moment in Australia...

Road-tripping the East Coast with mates in a campervan was one of if not the top Aussie experiences I've had.

Sunshine, Beaches and Camp Fires in the evening what can beat that HEY!

Also, an epic memory that I will never forget is the first time I stood up on a surfboard and rode the wave all the way into the beach!

Backpacking tips:

Travelling solo is unreal in Aussie/NZ – if your friends aren’t ready to travel, book your flight and head on a solo adventure (you’ll be surprised how many people are travelling solo!).

Type of traveller:

Adventure all the way.

Ryan did an amazing job and guided me through the alternatives of different campervan rentals and helped me to find what suits me for my trip

Planning a huge trip is always a daunting experience but George managed to make the whole experience stress free and enjoyable. Everything from start to finish was personal and easy! Booking with RatPack is like being on the phone to a mate. Super informative, really friendly and we got an amazing deal. All you can ask for really. Thank you RatPack!

Huge thank you to RatPack Travel! We left it pretty late to book our campervan for Tassie and couldn't find many affordable options ourselves. I spoke to Gregg from RatPack on Whatsapp and within 10 minutes he had found us a great vehicle at an amazing price. We've just landed in Hobart and found out we've been upgraded to an even better van at the same price!! Will definitely be recommending RatPack to everyone I know who is planning to travel and see Australia the proper way! Thank you Gregg! ❤️

My booking experience was such a pleasure and quite unique. I assumed I’d be dealing with computer generated prompts but instead had 2 calls with the lovely Anna who worked with our tricky time difference (I’m in Qatar) . Within 24 hours she secured me a great deal on the van that would work best for me. Can’t wait for my December adventure and couldn’t recommend RatPack Travel enough!!

I had an incredible experience renting a van with them for my road trip in New Zealand. Ben was exceptionally helpful and made the whole process smooth and enjoyable. We had a pleasant chat, and they were accommodating when I needed to make changes to my booking. Highly recommend this rental company for anyone exploring New Zealand! Can’t wait to get in the road.

Cannot recommend these guys enough!! We recently booked our 3 week holiday in NZ. We would be lying if we said the process of looking for a motorhome/campervan was easy. We spent days tossing up options that hardly met our budget. After a few days of stressing out like a pair of lunatics we came across RatPack Travel, lo and behold they were the saviours we desperately needed! We hopped on a call with Chris and got chatting. Within the hour we locked in a spacious motorhome (with insurance) that met our budget - WE’RE SO STOKED!! We wholeheartedly recommend RatPack Travel to any future holiday makers out there looking for a fast, reliable and friendly service! THANK YOU CHRIS!!! ❤️‍🔥

Haven't started my journey yet so can't say much but so far the customer service specifically from Ben has been incredible and he was able to find me a great deal and I'm very excited.

Anna has been really helpful and made sure I got the best deal for my last minute booking. She made it really easy as I had nothing to do, except for answer questions and review the details to confirm the booking. She was very professional and also answered my questions and gave me tips. The service is free for users as they get paid by the rental company. Thank you to Sammy and Tammy as well for finding a solution for me :). Will recommend your services.

Super helpful and friendly staff. They helped me plan an adventure with my dog in a rental camper and got the best deals. Thank you Ryan F and RatPack.

These guys are lifesavers! Needed to book a van for ten days right before arriving in Australia and they did all the heavy lifting finding the van! Huge thank you to Anna for being incredibly friendly and helpful - RatPack is the best!
