Languages spoken:
English... learning another language is on my bucket list.
Time spent in Australia:
I have been in Oz since September 2022. I've LOVED every minute of it so far.
A little about me:
I was living in London with a burning itch to get away. I knew I couldn’t settle until I went and did my thing! Decided to jump on a flight to Aus and haven’t looked back. The novelty of hitting the beach after work never wears off. Life’s much better when you don’t have to get your vitamin D from a tablet every day loooool.
I love bounding around, socialising and meeting new people on a daily! Made the transition from an absolute novice surfer to a somewhat respectable novice surfer, and no longer walk around looking like Casper the Ghost.
Why is Aussie so special...
What's not to LOVE about living in the land down under...
Favourite spot in Australia/NZ:
Byron Bay Baby! Luckily for me, our office is based in this idyllic beach town full of the best people and best beaches!
Backpacker tips:
Carry as little luggage as possible... a light traveller is a happy traveller!
Funny travel story/or best moment in Australia:
Surfing and catching a wave much bigger than my ability, much to the disbelief of Reuben (a fellow RatPacker).
Type of traveller:
Chaotic - make it up as I go. Since being at RatPack though, I've learnt that being organised with some things (tours and campervans) can help save hundreds of $$$ with a wee bit of prep.

From our RatPackers
Genuinely saved me a lot of dolla and stress, thank you so much!
Steve and I were incredibly impressed with Reuben's great professionalism and his ability to find us a wonderful deal for our upcoming N.Z holiday in 2024. Reuben was so helpful, informative and gained us a awesome JUCY Campervan package. Thank you so much for all your assistance.🤩 I would highly recommend Rat Pack Travel to all travellers. 😊Lindy Jurd.
Great service from Ben, can’t recommend RatPack enough. Got us a great price over a really busy period and got us the van we wanted. So easy and will definitely use them again in the future.
Gregg was very helpful in helping me plan my trip very last minute! Thanks so much
Jenna was a huge help getting me a camper for my trip up through the East Coast. Availability was tight and I can’t thank Jenna enough for sorting and at a great price. Definitely worth taking the stress out of searching and using these guys.
Seems to good to be true but Ratpack are everything they say and more. Helped me so much to choose a van and made the whole process so easy! Big shout out to Jenna and all her help above and beyond thanks so much!! Highly recommend
Ben from RatPack Travel was amazing!! Highly recommend getting in contact with this company if you’re unsure what kind of vehicle is best suited for your road-trip plans!
Jenna was so helpful and informative. She made the whole process of booking a camper so easy and answered any questions that I had. I would 100% recommend Ratpack travel for booking a campervan trip! Thanks Jenna 😀
Jenna was amazing! She took all the worry and stress out of booking our holiday! She was so helpful and patient, offering so much advice and securing us a lovely discount as well! Congratulations RatPack Travel - you have a winner in Jenna!
Messaged on Instagram and within a few minutes Reuben had replied, he went through every bit of detail to help arrange our east coast trip, providing the specification of the van and the true costings without any pressure. Very excited to start our trip next month, credit to the team for sure
Mikey was amazing and helped us out a great deal! Can’t recommend them enough!
Just booked a camper through Ratpack Travel with Gregg. He was super professional and talked me through the entire process with constant updates - absolute legend. One of the easiest experiences booking a camper I've had. Would definitely recommend!
Reuben was so helpful to deal with. Would highly recommend
Thanks for sorting out a camper for us Ben! I look forward to the trip and travelling in the RV you found for us
Gregg was fantastic chasing a great price and was extremely responsive - he called when he said he would, chased options immediately and was quick with follow up communication. The process was quick and painless and ended with us getting a great deal.
