Age:
Where's home?
Originally Brighton in the UK but now sunny Byron Bay (Both equally quirky in there own way!)
Languages spoken:
English and trying my best to learn Spanish, although my Duolingo streak might say differently! solo un poco
A little about me:
I'm a traveler at heart and have done two big trips around the world. My favourite spots have to be India, Sri Lanka, Japan and South Korea! I ended up in Australia and the point of call was Byron Bay, I fell in LOVE, I have done unreal trips here and there but Byron kept calling me back! I now can't imagine leaving this sunny paradise.
My hobbies are:
I am a big foodie, my fave thing to do is check out new restaurants and cafes! Also, just getting into surfing so have been known to catch a wave or two although I'm no Kelly Slater yet unfortunately! I also like to do some yoga on the weekends, classic Byron girl!
Favourite spot in Australia:
AFTER Byron Bay, it has to be the Whitsundays, I don't think I've ever seen such turquoise water! The Whitsundays are made up of 74 islands, all set against the backdrop of the Great Barrier Reef, and the famous Whitehaven Beach is not to be overrated! It really is the most beautiful beach I’ve ever seen.
Backpacking tips:
Get your fave snacks in for the drives. Bring a coffee filter and some decent coffee so you can wake up and enjoy the views with your morning brew. If you're travelling NZ, try and make sure you're self-contained to stay in the unreal national parks!

Our Customers Say it Best
Booked a van with Tom. He was super helpful in answering all my questions and requests. Really quick to respond and takes all the faff out of find and comparing quotes. Really excited for my trip and will defo book with them again :)
I used RatPack Travel to book a campervan for an upcoming road trip in Western Australia. Madeleine was incredibly knowledgeable and useful throughout the whole process, finding out what best suited my needs and providing a range of options! She provided loads of information that made me feel confident and comfortable when it came to booking. Couldn’t recommend more! Thanks Madeleine
My partner and I booked a campervan through Ratpack Travel with Shaun and had a great experience! He was even able to help us with ideas for our road trip in Australia and recommend some great areas to go! He helped us find a campervan to suit our needs and it was super easy to communicate over WhatsApp. Thanks Shaun! :)
Rat Pack was awesome to work with for our NZ campervan rental. Dom was very knowledgeable and had great recommendations. Appreciated the personal connection through a 1 on 1 phone call to discuss options and getting us a great price!
Had a fantastic conversation with Ben who was super helpful pointing us in the right direction with a camper and even providing us with some recommendations for things to do and places to stop Would thoroughly recommend
RatPack was absolutely amazing and a pleasure to deal with on so many levels. I booked a camper van rental in New Zealand thru RatPack and am so glad I did for a number of reasons. Everyone I spoke to during the booking process was knowledgeable, answered all of my questions, had helpful suggestions and were always prompt at getting back to me. Once we picked up the camper van we had numerous issues with it and when the van company were less than helpful and/or very slow to respond when I contacted them, RatPack always intervened on our behalf and got us the help we needed. I have asked for a partial refund from the camper van company and they told me that I was a VIP member because I had booked thru RatPack so am sure that my request will be taken more seriously as a result. Even tho I have now been home for over a week RatPack is still keeping in touch with me to make sure that I get satisfaction from the rental company. If I ever need to book anything again that RatPack can help me out with I will absolutely use them as their level of service and their helpful/friendly staff go above and beyond anything I have ever experienced. RatPack rocks!!!!!!
Zan was super helpful couldn’t recommend him or the company enough! He has was so patient and literally had an answer for every question possible. Would highly recommend and would absolutely use the company again!
Stef helped us out and made the process of booking a van super easy. Just had to tell them what I wanted / when I wanted it and I had options available. They’re a friendly service provider and are easy to navigate all through phone calls and Facebook messenger. Would 100% recommend to somebody needing assistance 🙂
