13 70 71 Advisor: Tara Wheeler HOMEADVISORSTARA WHEELER BROADBEACH, QLD 1800 242 613 (07) 5530 0022 Email Me Dare & Turner Travel Associates BROADBEACH, QLD Having travelled solo across many parts of the world, Tara has a wealth of knowledge about various destinations. From the harsh desert of Egypt to the soothing surrounds of French Polynesia. She says she is particularly passionate about adventure travel, especially in South America and Africa. Many travellers have been to see Machu Picchu and Mount Kilimanjaro, but not many have experienced Semuc Champey in Guatemala. “Set deep in the jungle, you’ll find beautifully tiered limestone pools,” says Tara. “The journey to get there is an adventure in itself, then arriving at the pools and sliding into the water is just heavenly.” If you’re interested in volunteering overseas or having a memorable wildlife encounter, ask Tara about working with spider monkey in the Amazon Jungle. She says the time she spent with these cheeky creatures in Bolivia, is something she’ll never forget. Another of Tara’s favourite places is the Rocky Mountains, at the start of Autumn. "Nothing quite beats that feeling, of being on top of a mountain and having a 360-degree view of glistening glaciers, turquoise lakes, and squirrels scuttling at your feet," says Tara. "Then just when you think you've reached the safety of the level ground, a herd of moose can come stampeding past! You can't help but be filled with adrenalin feeling the earth shake like that!" Tara enjoys coordinating all kinds of itineraries. In her 15 years working as a Travel Manager, she has helped people visit all kinds of places and achieve many different travel aspirations; from iconic big cities to weird and wonderful experiences. “I had a client who was scared of fish and wanted to try and conquer her fear by learning to snorkel,” says Tara. “I sent her to the majestic Republic of Palau and put her in touch with some friends of mine who are scuba diving instructors. They looked after her, and she not only learned to snorkel but ending up becoming a certified scuba diver! To see her develop so much and swim with not only fish but manta rays and reef sharks was so rewarding!” Tara says planning a holiday is one thing, but helping out a client is what makes this job really enjoyable.
