Hi, I’m Katrina McMullan, and I’ve been passionately working in the travel industry for over 25 years. My extensive travel experience allows me to offer first-hand insights and tailored advice on destinations worldwide, enhancing every journey with expert insights and personalised recommendations to create truly memorable experiences.
I specialise in creating bespoke travel experiences, from multi-centre itineraries to premium leisure holidays, honeymoons, and cruises. Whether it’s a luxury getaway, an adventurous journey, or a special celebration, I’m here to design a holiday that perfectly matches your dreams.
Choosing my favourite destination is no easy task! Living and working in Melbourne stands out as a highlight, with its vibrant culture, warm hospitality, and ideal climate. Vietnam and India have left lasting impressions, offering unforgettable experiences rich in history and beauty. Recently, I fell in love with Nashville, a city buzzing with energy far beyond its country music roots. For adventure, Utah’s stunning red rock landscapes and national parks provided incredible opportunities for exploring. And when it comes to ultimate relaxation, the Maldives remains unmatched.

Katrina McMullan of Travel Counsellors was an exceptional travel agent who truly went above and beyond to craft the perfect 2.5-week Cuban adventure for us. As a couple in our 30s, we wanted a mix of adventure and relaxation, and Katrina delivered exactly that. From the moment we arrived, everything was seamless. She curated an exciting itinerary, combining cultural explorations, outdoor adventures, and time to unwind. The highlights included touring Havana, hiking in Trinidad, and discovering hidden gems around the island. The all-inclusive resort at the end was the perfect way to wind down after our action-packed journey.
Katrina's attention to detail was evident in every aspect—from arranging transportation to recommending local experiences that felt authentic and unique. Thanks to her planning, we had an unforgettable trip and felt completely cared for throughout. Highly recommend Katrina for anyone looking for a personalised, hassle-free holiday!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Katrina for our travel plans to Florida and New York City for Summer 2024. From the very beginning, Katrina was incredibly attentive and responsive to all our needs and queries. She took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and provided a good range of options that perfectly matched our budget.
Our trip happened during the recent industrial action taken by the Aer Lingus pilots. As we were flying with Aer Lingus we had concerns regarding our flight bookings. At this time Katrina was always available at the drop of a hat to answer questions, provide support and put us at ease.
I highly recommend Katrina to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable travel agent. She goes above and beyond to make sure her clients are looked after and have an unforgettable travel experience. Many thanks Katrina, we can't wait to make our next booking with you.

Aer Lingus recently launched a new direct route from Dublin to Marrakesh, and with a flight time of just under 3.5 hours, it’s an ideal destination for some winter sun. I was lucky enough to spend a few days exploring this vibrant, colourful city and what an adventure it was.

I recently spent two nights aboard a Travelmarvel river cruise, sailing from Amsterdam to Cologne. It was a lovely, easy-going break that I think offers brilliant value for money. I'll share an overview of what they’re all about and what you can expect.

On my flight to Sri Lanka, I learned that it had just been ranked by Lonely Planet as 'Top Country to visit in 2019' so I was keen for my adventure to begin to find out why. Surprisingly, my highlights began even before I hit Sri Lankan soil.

To give some perspective, Vietnam is roughly the same size as Italy or California and has a population of 95 million (the population of scooters is 45 million!). And mountainous regions make up approx. 70% of the country. Pretty incredible statistics if you ask me!

The landing in Copenhagen is similar to lots of experiences we’ve all had where the aircraft wheels are down as we barely skim over the water, with land making a sudden last-minute appearance.

Here are some of my top tips for visiting
Despite being the third largest city in Spain, Valencia wouldn’t generally appear at the forefront of your mind for a short break to the sun.
