Time spent in Australia:
3 years!
A little about me:
I spent my time at home being king of the BBQ at Nandos flipping chicken before I decided that life was 100% not for me hahaha….
I then flew to Thailand worked as a Scuba Diver living the dream in Koh Tao before flying to Australia and starting to help backpackers just like me with traveling this BEAUT country and yeahhhh the rest is history!
Best moment in Australia:
My best moment in Australia has to be exploring Fraser Island it is unreal
But the funniest WILL ALWAYS be the time I attempted my 88 days farm work for the 1st time and got paid $60 (£32) for 12 hours work because I am not made to pick oranges…
Not going to lie it was a tough day and the farmer did not want me back…
Backpacking tips:
1 Key tip from me is 100% Travel before going to do your farm work ahahahahah.
Type of traveller:
Backpacker who loves a 12 bed dorm at heart but would not say no to a little Air BnB from time to time.

Our Customers Say it Best
Ryan was really helpful, informative and super responsive! Made the whole booking process really easy and provided lots of helpful links to aid us with our travel!
George was awesome, helped us so quickly and got us everything we needed! Would highly recommend and will use this service again 😊
What a absolute legend Reuben is. Easy and friendly service with the best price provided. Thank you!
I want to give George a TEN star review. He was so persistent, searching to find a camper that suited our needs. He listened patiently, helping us clarify our requirements - at the best possible price.
Great service from James with helping us book our NZ and West Coast campers. Efficient and effective. Booking process was smooth and stress free. Highly recommend!
Top service! Reuben helped me to get the best quote as fast as possible. Was able to save a little of money. Thanks for the help again!
James was a great help organising my trip and got me a great deal would highly recommend
Booked twice through Ratpack now, once in Aus and once in NZ, both times they've been perfect, everything is so smooth and clear. James helped us this time and he was very efficient and friendly, made the whole process a breeze and saved us money! Would 100% recommend them!
I had an incredible experience with George from RatPack Travel! With only three days until my trip, no campervan booked, and everything sold out. George took the reins, calling around to find us a van. His dedication to customer service made the process seamless and stress-free. I can’t recommend RatPack travel highly enough for anyone needing personalised travel assistance, especially for campervan hire. If you’re looking for reliable help, George at RatPack is definitely the way to go!
Just booked a spaceships sleeper for 6 weeks in New Zealand next year through James. He was super efficient and friendly from the get go and really helped a clueless person get to know the best options!! Got a great deal for spring 2025! With the whole service being so personable and everything being included from date flexibility to fully equipped sleepers it has really made the experience a breeze. Would definitely go back to RatPack and James for another booking - thanks guys!!
The guys were so helpful! Mikey & Ruben were really patient with us and helped get us the best deal, can't wait to pick up the camper in a few months🙌🏻
ryan was super helpful with helping me choose a camper, very patient and offered me many alternative options with detailed info on each. couldn't recommend more!
I recently booked a camper van through Rattravel and had an excellent experience! James provided outstanding service—he was friendly, professional, and went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly. The booking process was straightforward, and I’m really impressed with their customer care. Highly recommend!
Really great service booking our van through RatPack Travel. Mikey kept us informed and we got a great deal on the van we were after!
James was incredibly helpful. He found me a great van for an amazing price. Couldn't have asked for an easier and better service
Guaranteed best deals from the best operators in Oz & NZ!
