Richard - Florida, Australia & Canada Specialist

Richard - Florida, Australia & Canada Specialist

Hi, I'm Richard, a Senior Travel Consultant at Charter Travel with 29 years of experience planning holidays across Florida, Australia, the USA, Canada and beyond. 

I have been fortunate enough to visit many amazing destinations including Canada, the USA, Australia, Hawaii, Fiji, New Zealand, Thailand, Borneo, Malaysia, Singapore, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Bahamas, St Lucia and soon the Seychelles!

As a certified Australia Specialist, I have visited many cities across Australia but my favourite is Brisbane. I often recommend Brisbane for its Botanic Gardens, easy day trips to the Gold Coast, and laid-back city vibe - ideal for clients wanting beach and city combined.

An unusual fact about me is that I actually lived in Florida for 6 months! That means I can offer my clients the tips and tricks of a local as I experienced a whole other side of Florida away from the buzz of Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando Resort. I often find that clients are confused and overwhelmed when booking Disney and Universal Holidays, and I love to simplify everything and plan my clients a fun trip with no added stress!

Get To Know Richard

Best Travel Experience

There are so many to choose from, but I would have to say swimming with turtles in Hawaii! It was a truly incredible experience I will never forget.

Favourite Hotel

Rayavadee Resort in Krabi, Thailand. The resort is located on the Phranang Peninsula and surrounded by three beaches (Railay Beach, Phranang Beach, and Nammao Beach). You can only reach the hotel via a private speedboat, and this really sets the tone for a luxury holiday!

Best Travel Tip

Arrive at the airport in plenty of time and don’t rush around. Everyone is always in such a rush and panic and if you have flight anxiety this will only make things worse!

We have just booked again with Charter Travel for our Disney holidays. This will be our forth time because we have always been so happy with their service and never had any holiday issues. They respond to emails extremely quickly and no questions are left unanswered. The booking has been quick and easy with no stress whatsoever. All I had to do was put in what I required from the holiday and Richard my rep sorted it all out from there. He has been excellent and I feel he has gone the extra mile. It was so nice to always have one person to work with. Our package includes flights, car hire, villa and also we could order the Disney park tickets through them as well. It feels great to have it all sorted in one place, it feels more straightforward and less messy. So now we can just sit back and look forward to our holidays. They have low deposit at the moment if you book early. Go on treat yourselves. Thanks again to Richard and Charter Travel for their amazing service.
