Mark Nicholson Branch Manager Modbury/Co-Owner Gawler & Barossa

I have worked in the travel industry for more than 30 years and have owned multiple travel agencies in and around Adelaide for more than 20 of those years. I am very passionate about the travel industry and all the excitement that it brings. Working with my clients enhances the magic of this wonderful profession; knowing that I am helping in some way to make the dreams come true for so many people. I joined Phil Hoffmann Travel in October 2014 as the co-owner and manager of the Gawler branch. I'm now the manager of our Modbury branch.

travel tips

• Take a small amount of local cash (exchange around AUD$100) with you to your destination, so that you can hit the ground running and at leats be able to purchase a bottle of mineral water, or better still - a beer!   

hot picks

• Croatia - Dalmatian Coast cruising on the Adriatic Pearl - amazing people and the most spectacular scenery!
• Moorea, Tahiti - hire a moped, call into a local shop to purchase a French baguette, some cheese, meat and a drop of wine and head to a secluded beach for a romantic picnic lunch. This is one of the best value romantic interludes around!
