Where's home?
Exeter, Devon! But it hasn’t been home for a little while now. Made the move to Aus in 2019 and haven’t looked back. Happily now calling Byron Bay home, time to recharge the crystals…
Languages spoken:
English, until I've had a few bevvies and then I can talk a bit of Spanish!
Time spent in Australia:
2 years so far and loving every minute of it!
A little about me:
After finishing uni in Manchester and a quick stint in investment banking, I decided to take a short break before selling myself to the corporate world. Fast forward 3 and a half years and the break is going strong. Surfing every day seems to suit me pretty well!
Why is Aussie so special...
Oz is INCREDIBLE! My favourite spot though has to be K'Gari AKA... Fraser Island is my stand-out spot. 4x4’s with a big group of people seeing amazing sites and followed by a party - epic.
Fraser is my stand-out, but my overall favourite thing to do is explore the national parks winding up the East Coast. Taking a van in-land and avoiding the crowds, finding incredible campsites next to lakes, waterfalls, mountains. There’s something about waking up with no phone service next to a waterfall that can’t be beaten.
And Finally...
If you are considering travelling Aussie or NZ – do it! I have no regrets whatsoever about travelling and it’s the best thing I’ve ever done.
From our RatPackers
Really helpful and overall great experience. Thanks George!!
George was super helpful, getting us organised for our trip to NZ and sorting us out a great deal for our home on wheels :) Very much appreciate the support given we left it a little late... Thank you!
Great service, Sam was so helpful and made planning a holiday a breeze!
Can't thank Ben @Ratpack Travel enough for the turnaround on my campervan booking - and on short notice too! Outstanding customer centricity and quality banter with the knowledge to match Should be a go to for anyone wishing to travel this way
Ben couldn’t have been more helpful in assisting with this booking. He was responsive and patient whilst we changed details and dates. I’d highly recommend rat pack and Ben. Thanks guys!
Anna was super attentive and helpful during the planning process. She made it as easy as it possibly could be!
Just rent a car through this company. James has been really helpful and patient ! I recommend a 100 %
Had trouble booking a campervan in nz and finding a good price, James made the process extremely easy and was willing to answer any questions we had in great detail would highly recommend James to anyone struggling to find a campervan in New Zealand. He even got us a discount!
Gregg did a great job of navigating through my questions in helping us secure the right vehicle for our trip to New Zeland! I don't have time to search and get quotes from 5 different companies all with different add ons and prices. Gregg with Ratpack did all the work and even negotiated a better price then going direct. Pretty much covered the additional cost of insurance! So dont waste your time searching the net for the right rental! Get time back to plan your adventure and let Ratpack get you there!
Sammy was super helpful in helping me find exactly what I was looking for! He checked in with me every so often and was patient with me while I organised dates. Also gave some great advice relating to my travels! Thankyou:))
My booking experience with James was exception. excellence in customer service second to none!
Chris is a star! Even with the time difference, RatPack manage to keep track of our demands through whatsapp, with days apart. We also have an incredible support to find us a solution with our dates that at first didn't match van availability, and score for us a great deal on top of that. Highly recommended!
Ryan got me a really good deal and was very helpful over the phone, would 100% recommend him and ratpack
James was super helpful! Thanks so much!
Ryan helped me book my 4 week trip to NZ, all sorted over 1 simple phone call. Very polite and extremely helpful. Highly recommend.
