Where's home?

Manchester (UK) but now it’s Byron!

Languages spoken:

Manc and getting there with Aussie Slang

A little about me:

I first came over to Australia when I was just 3 with my family for 5 years. Then made the leap to move back solo in 2023, travelling the whole of the East Coast first before calling Byron Bay my new home.

I'm always planning my next trip, with so many more places left to tick off in Australia and New Zealand.

My hobbies are:

I love getting outside whether it's hiking, paddle boarding, running or enjoying the beach. You'll also catch me baking when I feel like a sweet treat.

Favourite spot in Australia:

Magnetic Island! You can really relax there, it's so pretty and there’s so many wild Koalas to see wherever you stay on the island.

Backpacking tips:

Invest in a good eye mask, you forget how much of a lifesaver they are when you're doing a long journey and just want to sleep.

We decided last minute to book a camper for our east coast trip and Shaun was super helpful, responsive and dealt with everything! Within less than an hour we had a van sorted and he explained everything to us. I would use rat pack every time now without fail, it made the entire process so much easier and it’s great knowing that the company we use are reliable. Saved us so much time and stress!!

Mikey was very helpful. I ended up not renting a camper van and chose a car but next trip will definitely use RatPack.

I have used Ratpack travel on two separate occasions now and they have gone above and beyond each time. Reuben was amazing to deal with, managed to get me a great deal and even sort me out with a campervan last Minute when nothing was showing available online. Highly recommended, customer service is exceptional. Pints on me if I ever meet the guy!

Massive thanks to Sam for sorting our booking! Made absolute light work of something we’ve been stressing over for days. 2 phone calls, and a brief WhatsApp chat displaying options, and booking secured for our month of travel later this year! He made sure it was value for money, found some great deals, and filled us with absolute confidence throughout the process from start to finish. Thanks Sam @ Ratpack, we’re absolutely buzzing!

Booked a camper for a month in October through Ratpack. A super easy, hassle free, and pleasant experience. Helped out with finding the best deals, and did it right there and then, didn’t have to wait days for updates. From enquiry to booking was literally 24 hours, and that was only because of our timezone. Huge credit to Sam for making it an effortless top quality experience!
