My Vine Change
After nine years of dreaming and two
years of solid planning, we finally made
our move from the hustle and bustle
of the city to the picturesque Barossa
Valley.
Working for seven years at Burnside
Village in one of the busiest travel
agencies in South Australia has certainly
opened my eyes to the world - with
thousands of destinations and a large
number of different travel styles to keep
me on my toes.
The date finally arrived and our dream
came true as we made our ‘vine change’
from the city lights to the vines of the
Barossa Valley.
Living in Tanunda and working in
Nuriootpa has certainly offered the
work/life balance we had both been
looking for.
I feel very fortunate and blessed to have
landed firmly on my feet here at Phil
Hoffmann Travel Barossa Valley.
I work alongside a wonderful team and
we have fantastic clientele.
Getting to know the community,
by attending local functions and
community events, has allowed me to
quickly settle into my role and new life
here.
Throughout my years in travel, I have
certainly found a passion for certain
styles of travel and destinations.
One of my specialty areas is constructing
round the world airfares.
WORDS BY SANNA SAUNDERS
PHIL HOFFMANN TRAVEL BAROSSA VALLEY
These offer incredible value and I love
the challenge of creating a great itinerary
that covers as many cities as possible, at
the best possible price. parts of the world myself.
Nowadays, more and more clients are
taking longer holidays, rather than a few
shorter ones, and having the ability to
travel to North America and Europe in
the one trip is quite appealing to them –
and that’s where I can help. Ticking the Rocky Mountaineer rail
journey off my bucket list was definitely
a highlight – it really was everything I
was hoping it would be!
Without a doubt the most popular
destinations at this time of year are
Europe, USA and Canada.
Finding a travel agent with a solid
knowledge
of
these
destinations
is paramount, and the best way I
have gained this knowledge is with
firsthand experience, visiting these
Canada would have to be one of the top
three countries I’ve visited.
Canada is such a fantastic country to visit
and the Rockies are simply spectacular.
If you’re thinking of travelling there in
2019, now is the time to take advantage
of our earlybird sale.
Why not pop in and see myself and the
team at Phil Hoffmann Travel Barossa
Valley? We would love to make you a
coffee and talk all things travel.
