Susan Doyle

 

I'm now into my fifth year selling travel in Castlemaine and loving every minute of it. As I've travelled extensively myself and sucessfully run a number of businesses I'm looking forward to helping you with your travel plans. I also have a great love of people and places, I love nothing more than following my adventurous side checking out all any country has to offer. I've sampled bus tours, 9 cruises so far, tried skiing, hiking, cycling and sight seeing through most of the continents.
