About me
My story so far
For me, travel has always been more than an industry — it’s a calling. Over three decades, I’ve explored the world, built invaluable connections, and refined the craft of designing journeys that inspire, delight and transform.
My Career Journey
My career began with RAC Perth, followed by many years with Suncity Travel in Brisbane, before founding my own company, Skelton Travel, in 1999. After nearly two decades of growth and success, I joined the highly respected MTA Travel (Mobile Travel Agents) group in 2016. Today, I’m part of a nationwide network of more than 450 elite travel professionals, offering clients the advantage of global connections with the personalised service of a boutique advisor
Cornerstones Of Client Advocacy
Before entering the travel world, I worked within the legal profession — experience that continues to serve me well when collaborating with my corporate, business, and high-end clientele. My strong attention to detail, advocacy for my clients, and commitment to finding solutions and my never say never attitude set me apart.
Award-Winning Expertise
Over the years, I’ve been recognised as one of Australia’s leading Travel Specialists and have received multiple awards celebrating both my business success and industry expertise.
Industry Recognition & Achievements
Having been listed in the Who’s Who of Australian Women, The Female Entrepreneurs Book, Business Achievers Awards, Platinum and Gold Achievement Helloworld Awards and listed in the BRW Fast 100 List for three consecutive years, placing 9th in 2002, 83rd in 2003, and 79th in 2004 — a testament to strong growth, innovative service, and loyal clients.
Trusted Travel Media Voice
Since 2007, I have been the go-to voice for all things travel on South East Queensland radio stations, delivering fun, insightful, and always unbiased “Travel Talk” segments designed to educate, inspire, and entertain listeners.
I love exploring the World, and know it intimately.
Testimonials
What our clients say
Sandra has been looking after our travel for almost 25 years. Sandra is always available and creative in developing exciting itineraries. Highly recommend.
As ever, Sandra did a fantastic job of putting our trip together, at short notice. I've been using Sandra for all my travel needs for 20 years.
What an amazing travel agent. Sandra is very professional and always available. She gave me great information and was open and honest. She was not tiring to sell me anything but gave me great advice. She organised an amazing trip for 14 people from all around Australia to go to Alaska to spread my late husband's ashes. Nothing was never too much for her and she has maximised all our time. Every detail was arranged for us with the best of drivers, tour guides, and hotels. I really trust Sandra and I would certainly seek her advise again. I have passed Sandra's name and contact information to a lot of my friends. I can say enough about how professional and friendly Sandra is. I will be using Sandra again for any trips I have going forward. Amazing service!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If I could leave a 6 STAR review I would. Sandra has helped us out over many years with our travel but our latest trip was absolutely fantastic. I wanted to really experience parts of Spain that I wouldn't normally see and the simple act of booking a private transfer enabled us to see and learn so much more than we would have with a normal transfer. I wanted to have the full Parisian experience with our accommodation & location and it was perfect!! 5 mins to the Louvre and an array of cafes and restaurants - London was the finishing touch with a fantastic self contained apartment and superb staff running the place. All of my friends were super impressed as we were, thank you Sandra!! Looking forward to our next trip - May 2026!
Sandra has been managing all of our personal and corporate travel for the last 3 years. Her expertise and knowledge of every corner of the globe is absolutely unmatched and she removes all the grief of managing complex itineraries with multiple airlines and hotels. I would highly recommend Sandra for all domestic and international travel advice and bookings. You'll wonder how you ever did without her!
