Andrew has been a long-time client of mine. We had a quick chat last week when we caught up to plan his next adventure back to Greece.

Q: Where’s next on your travel list?
A: Greece in July! I’m taking my partner to my homeland – it’s long been on her bucket list, and I can’t wait to share it with her.

Q: What inspired your recent journey, and what drew you to this destination?
A: I was lucky enough to cycle part of the Tour de France in 2023 — a dream experience! France, Rome, and Croatia were all on the itinerary, and each offered something truly special.

Q: How did this trip compare to your previous travels?
A: It was unforgettable – one of those “pinch me” memories that’ll stay with me forever.

Q: What was the highlight of your journey?
A: Rome was a standout. I fell in love with the history, the food, the fashion, and the energy of the people.

Q: Any unexpected moments that made the trip even more special?
A: We spontaneously visited the Blue Cave in Croatia – one of those magical moments that wasn’t planned but turned out to be a real highlight.

Q: How did Michelle Tavli Travel elevate your experience?
A: Michelle’s app was a game-changer – everything was at my fingertips. Her knowledge is second to none, and I genuinely appreciated her expertise and care.

Q: What advice would you offer other discerning travellers?
A: Don’t do it yourself – just get Michelle. She takes the stress out of everything and turns travel into an art.

Business Spotlight

Q: Tell us about your business – what inspired it, and what sets it apart?
A: I come from an investment banking background but quickly realised how widespread financial illiteracy is in Australia. I’m passionate about numbers and genuinely helping people reach their financial goals. What makes us different is that our clients aren’t just numbers – we build long-term relationships with regular, trusted reviews. It’s deeply personal.

Q: Has travel influenced your professional or personal perspective?
A: Absolutely. Travel has broadened my outlook and helped me better understand how culture shapes financial beliefs. That’s been invaluable.

Q: Any exciting updates in the business?
A: We’ve recently taken over Fraser Wealth Management, which means we can now scale and support more clients. From starting solo in 2011, we’ve grown to a team of 10!

Q: Where can people connect with you?
A: You can visit advicehq.com.au or find us on Instagram and Facebook.

Personal Touch

Q: What’s still on your bucket list?
A: A white Christmas with our blended family – matching cheesy Christmas jumpers and all!

Q: If you could relive one travel experience, which would it be?
A: Rome – hands down. There was just something about it.

Q: Your top 3 must-have luxury travel essentials?
A: Business class flights, amazing food, and a sense of adventure – I love thinking outside the box.

Q: Any unforgettable travel moments?
A: Travelling with my son George in Greece when he was 10 – he looks Greek so everyone would speak to him in Greek, he doesn’t speak Greek! It was so special seeing the world through his eyes.
