Carolyn Allen - Warrandyte Travel and Cruise Director 

Carolyn

Carolyn eats, breathes and sleeps a passion for travel. An esteemed career spanning almost forty years sees her zest for travel just as strong today as all those years ago. When she is not leading a tour group to exotic places such as Morocco, India or Peru, Carolyn likes nothing better than working with her clients to provide them enriching, seamless experiences.

Carolyn successfully steered Warrandyte Travel and Cruise through the tumultuous years of the pandemic, ensuring a buoyant business awaited its clients on the other side! She makes it her business to look after her clients by constantly monitoring the global situation, both before, during and after they return from their adventures.

Most of all, her caring and competent manner is testament to the regard in which Carolyn is held by both her peers and clients alike.

Romina Izzo - Warrandyte Travel and Cruise Team Member

Romina has been in the hospitality and tourism industry since 1993. Having travelled the world extensively, she returned to Melbourne in the late 90's cementing her career within the travel industry. Working for various corporations she concentrated on the corporate market, meetings, incentives, conferences and events.

Being nominated for the Australian Trust Awards 2015, Telstra Australian Business Awards 2015, 2014 and a finalist in 2011 for the Avis Scholarship of Excellence award, provided a timely recognition of the commitment Romina makes in ensuring she offers clients a level of service few can match.

Romina has built an ever expanding portfolio of satisfied clients, notwithstanding the challenging economic conditions of the past years. The element of customer service that differentiates Romina is the effort she puts into getting to know her clients interests and using her creativity, passion for travel, sense of fun and in-depth knowledge of travel destinations to create – with them – their own travel experiences with a personal ‘twist’.

Romina started her own company called ‘Travel with a Twist’ which is affiliated with Warrandyte Travel. Another way of sharing the passion with like-minded travellers and to offer authentic, innovative and original experiences.
