Debbie Smith

Director – Travel Manager

Debbie took over ownership of Boland Travel in April of 2010, it has been one of the biggest and most rewarding events of her career. With over 30 years of industry experience, Debbie’s career began in the airline industry (ANSETT) and then shifted to the travel industry 10 years later. The appreciation and joy that her clients get from their trips is beyond rewarding, she couldn’t imagine herself ever doing anything else! Debbie’s personal experiences in Ireland, UK, Europe, Asia, USA, Canada, Greenland, South Pacific, New Zealand and all the states of Australia helps in her knowledge and personalisation of her clients’ travels.

Debbie’s 3 biggest travel passions are skiing, a view to die for and any place with interesting history. Whilst her career began in Sydney, Debbie and her husband David decided to move to the Southern Highlands with their 2 young children (at the time) in 2001 and have loved joining and supporting the local community ever since.
