What do I love about working at The Tailor?

I enjoy building a special relationship with our clients from all over the world to truly understand their interests and likes before tailoring an Australian itinerary exactly to their needs, including experiences they would have never heard of. Every itinerary is different and presents a new creative challenge, which I love.

City or Wilderness? Why and where?

A little bit of both, that is why I love living in Adelaide. It is only a 5-hour drive from Adelaide and you are in the Flinders Ranges & Outback or just a short 50-minute flight to Port Lincoln to explore the Eyre Peninsula. But I would not want to miss the Adelaide city life with its amazing festivals, art exhibitions & galleries and outstanding restaurants.
