Australia Expat Travel (AET):

Travel is a great joy. It is truly one of life’s remarkable gifts to explore and learn from wherever your adventures take you. One of those opportunities was living in Shanghai in the early 2000’s. It was during this work posting that it became evident that a need exists for a travel service for expatriates who want local knowledge on travel to Australia and New Zealand. Vicki established Australia Expat Travel (AET) when the family repatriated in 2004. Since then Vicki has gained over 16 years’ experience planning & booking exceptional holidays for overseas visitors from all over the globe to discover the wonders that are Australia and New Zealand.

In addition, during this time, Vicki gained her International Travel Agent qualification, completed & continues ongoing training for both the Australia and New Zealand Travel specialist programmes, and the AET team has expanded with two overseas representatives. The focus and mantra of Australia Expat Travel (AET) is to deliver a personalised holiday of a lifetime for international visitors. We are proud to show-off our special corner of the world.
