Time spent in Australia:

8 months & counting – cruised around Byron Bay a lot – currently in the Dominican Republic where I have opened my own surf camp. Travelled a total of 1,797 Aussie Km’s.

A little about me:

At the moment I’m not travelling I’m just living my normal life… I was born into travel and my adventure hasn’t stopped. I could swim before I could walk and the ocean is where I feel most at home. I have lived in Amazonia, The Caribbean, Europe and now Australia. When I was younger I didn’t have a dog in my garden or a cat in my house instead I loved the animals of the jungle… I had a pet Anaconda and Spider. I regularly swim with whales and dolphins whilst in Byron Bay and my dream is to see a White Shark up close.

I now own and operate a surf camp in the Dominican Republic.

Why is Aussie so special...

It was my best friend and the pictures she showed me that made me obsessed with Aussie land. Since I arrived it has not disappointed. The lifestyle, people and nature inspire me to spread this love to others. I live for the beach, ocean and adventure. I now consider this my home… For now! Where ever I go my best friend {my camera} is always by my side.And Finally… Many people look at pictures and I hope you are inspired by mine, however just looking at pictures doesn’t make memories. Be inspired… book a flight and make your own story.

Absolutely recommended to anyone wanting to take the stress out of booking a camper van! Ben made the process for me so smooth and he genuinely cared for what my trip entailed and catered right to it! Blown away with his kindness and couldn’t be more happy with the price and deal we go for our van!

10/10 service! So helpful and friendly! Looking forward to heading on the trip already 😊

Jenna & Ryan are very professionals and helpful. Wish them the best

This shout out is for James! He took all of our worries,stress and anxiety about our up coming snow road trip and chucked them out the window. In under 30 minutes he had us booked with a better deal,upgraded vehicle and many laughs. Just for his service alone we will be back for every holiday! Thanks heaps James we look forward to our holiday because of you, now I can drive to Sydney today with a clear mind and no worries of having to sleep on my bike in the middle of the snow ⛄️ I have to mention his concern for safety was top notch with not wanting myself or my partner to have a bed fall on our heads again 😂

Jenna and Ryan were very helpful from the beginning to the end of the booking process. They shared all the details needed for our trip and in good time. Once our trip had been confirmed Ryan supported us through the phone call explaining next steps, payment and the process. We are very happy with the service we received! Thank you again and we look forward to our trip!

Mikey was very efficient and easy to deal with, we booked a camper and the whole process took around 1 hour from him getting us prices, speaking to different dealerships and us paying our deposit. He was happy to answer any questions we had and shared lots of information regarding routes, campsites and the day to day travel in a camper. We would definitely recommend!

The service at RatPack-Travel is absolutely great! Ryan took a lot of time to answer all my questions and always clarified everything very quickly. The telephone consultations were easy to understand and everything was clearly explained. Even when my plans changed and I had to adjust my booking, he clarified everything directly with the car rental company and I was able to adjust my booking very quickly and without any problems. I always received an answer within minutes. I am extremely satisfied, thank you Ryan from RatPack-Travel!

Also provided us with some helpfull information for sugesting itinerarys on things to do and see, as well of apps for finding campsites and campervan sites. 1000% recomended! what a grat custumer service And if this wasnt enought all the service was free!
