Time spent in Australia:
8 days in Sydney in 2014, 4 months over 2015/2016 & June 2017 to until April 2018. I’ve been up and down this huge country more times than you can shake a boomerang at.
A little about me:
My mum told me when I was a kid that you had to find the thing that makes the hair stand up on the back of your neck and do that! My main inspiration has always been film and everything to do with it. I’m a massive film score geek and even listen to epic soundtrack music whilst running! If I ever feel like I’ve lost that energy I just go watch a film on the big screen and it gives me goosebumps.
A little about me…Right, firstly, let me explain the name….in my early 20’s I worked in the Swiss Alps as a ski rep where I acquired the ski guiding nickname ‘Pocket Rocket’ because I was fast and I’m only 5ft tall! My first ever travel adventure was a 2 month road trip around 33 states in America on a tour called ‘The Trailblazer’ Last year, when I started designing my travel channel, the name just came to me and ‘Pocket Trailblazer’ was born!
For the last 8 years, I have been working freelance in movie production back in the UK which gives me the flexibility to chase my 2nd dream which is combining my passion for storytelling / filming and travel, trying to inspire people to get out and explore the world.
Why is Aussie so special...
From the very first moment I stepped in Australia, it just felt like home! So much so, that after only spending 8 days here I actually cried on the flight home! So from that point I planned to return for longer to explore properly which I did in Dec 2015.
I did the Great Ocean road, a 6 day tour in the outback to Uluru, spent New Years in Sydney. Adventured all the way up the East coast and then spent 10 days exploring up the West coast, which is still my favourite place so far!
And Finally…
I live me life by the phrase “You can always make more money, you can’t make more time” I know it may seem scary but just BOOK THAT FLIGHT and it will be the gateway to the biggest adventure of your life. One of the things I always tell myself when i doubt something is ‘YES YOU CAN’ –Don’t believe me – Take a look at my channel and see for yourself! www.youtube.com/c/pockettrailblazer
From our RatPackers
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!
Ben made our camper van booking experience a breeze, very professional and easy process, would be happy to recommend to anyone!
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.

I always received an answer within minutes. I am extremely satisfied, thank you Ryan from RatPack-Travel!
