As Managing Director of Platinum Travel Group and a partner with Journeys by Design, Sarah blends her expertise in finance, technology and HR to create smooth, seamless experiences. She’s all about the details and making sure everything runs like clockwork.
When it comes to travel destinations, Sarah loves nothing more than exploring historic cities – Reykjavik, Amsterdam and Honfleur are recent favourites. But she’s certain any city in Europe could captivate her for days (or even weeks).

Coming from the same camp as Jason when it comes to off the beaten track destinations, Bec loves any active or adventure driven journey where she can really experience the local culture.
On the weekend you will find Bec doing trail running events across Victoria.
