Meet our Founder
What inspired you to start Benson Bespoke?
A lifelong love of travel, discovering new cultures, and the desire for true flexibility. I wanted to merge my knowledge of travel with my excessive (!) organisation skills and turn it into something meaningful.
I never followed a traditional career path—I always focused on designing the lifestyle I wanted first, then figured out how to make it work. When I started Benson Bespoke, I was hesitant to settle back in Australia. I wanted the freedom to work from anywhere in the world. Luckily, I was surrounded by an incredible support system of family and friends who gave me the confidence to create something truly special.
Where did you grow up? How did this shape your passion for travel?
I was born in Australia, spent my early years in Macau/ Hong Kong, then moved back to Sydney for high school and my 20s before heading to London. Travel was ingrained in me from the start.
I have spent my whole life at any given time with one of my family members living in a different country to me. Be it my dad, sister, grand partens mum etc and getting on a plane for even 2 nights for a cuddle and and chat has always been the norm.
Now, jumping on a plane once a month to explore somewhere new feels second nature. I thrive on different cultures, food, languages, and people. Honestly, I’ve worked on my laptop in more cities than I can count, just soaking in the atmosphere and people-watching. It’s my absolute favourite pastime.
Who are the types of clients you work with?
My business has grown purely through referrals, which means my clients often feel like friends and family— expanding organically to friends of friends, colleagues of friends, or school friends of friends all over the world actually!
My clientele is made up of: Newly married couples, Families with young kids, Parents and Grandparents of clients I book for.. and anyone who values curated, seamless travel experiences.
I have the most amazingly loyal friends- my business is the product of a long line of referrals which inturn makes my clientele the most respectful clients because they know me or someone who knows me and have confidence in my team and my service.
What are your top 3 travel destinations?
Europe, always. London, Paris, Mykonos, Ibiza—classic and forever iconic.
Dubai. It’s gone from being a stopover to a destination in its own right.
Ski destinations. Japan, Whistler, the US—I’ve been loving booking ski trips lately!
What is a country you’ve never been to that you’re desperate to visit?
SO MANY!
Japan (I know, ive only been for 12 hours airport to airport so it doesn’t count!)
Sri Lanka
South Africa
I’m incredibly lucky to have traveled so much already, but these are top of my list.
Any tips to beat jet lag?
I always book flights that arrive in the afternoon or evening. Having dinner and going straight to bed (regardless of whether I slept on the flight) helps me get on the local timezone.
I also drink only hydrolite and ginger ale on the flights LOLS.. it works for me!
What are your travel essentials you always pack?
Hydralyte- I don't go anywhere without my sachets!
Lululemon tights - for long-haul flights
A Great Hand Cream - I love Grown Alchemist
Dore & Rose Sleep Mask - Nothing more important than a good nights sl
Camera (current favourite is the FUJI x100V) - to capture all the special moments
What sets Benson Bespoke apart from traditional travel agents?
Me! My clients don’t just want to know where to go—they want to be told where to go and why. They trust me to know them well enough to know where to send them and choose the perfect destination, hotel, and experience for them.
They rely on myself and team staying up to date with the latest openings and travel trends and I personally travel and test out these properties, airlines and destinations so i can confidently send my clients to experience them.
