About Tessa Fisher
Travel is not just a passion but a way of life for me. With exploration spanning across nearly fifty countries, I've come to appreciate the astonishing diversity, uniqueness, and sheer excitement our world offers. It's a privilege to leverage this wealth of experience to meticulously plan, book, and deliver tailor-made travel adventures for others, be it the annual family getaway, a romantic retreat at a luxurious resort, a swift yet efficient business trip, or that unforgettable once-in-a-lifetime journey that demands perfection.
My commitment to excellence and unwavering attention to detail have been honed over my extensive career in the travel industry, which commenced back in 2005 when I started my journey with Flight Centre. Along the way, I've earned top national accolades for my achievements. Though my decision to venture into independent travel consulting just prior to the pandemic initially felt uncertain, I am delighted to share that my business has not only weathered the storm but has emerged even stronger.
Today, I have the privilege to expand my services further under the banner of "Destination by Design." This name aptly reflects my approach to selling travel; I take the time to offer personalised recommendations tailored to your unique desires because each traveller envisions their holiday destination in their distinct way.
Throughout your journey, I am never more than a phone call or email away, providing you with the peace of mind that comes from knowing you have a trusted partner by your side. I look forward to the opportunity to assist you in crafting your next unforgettable adventure. I am also available via appointment at a location that suits you, if you prefer to meet in person.

I have used Tessa on several occasions over the past years and I continue to highly recommend her to anybody I know who needs some travel assistance. She has a huge depth of travel experience and her passions and interests cover a wide range of both destinations and types of travel. Whether you are looking for "roughing it" in Vietnam to Glamping in South Africa, to soaking up the sun in Rarotonga- she has always been able to provide us with accurate, up to date and informative advice and support. One of the things I love about Tessa, is that nothing is ever a problem- she works really hard and often during her " non contact time", to make sure her clients' travel arrangements go smoothly. She is always professional, responsive and always delivers what she promises in a timely manner. - Wendy
Tessa has been assisting my wife Ingrid and I with both personal and business travel for over 8 years. She is super knowledgeable, always professional, approachable and really friendly. Tessa is always happy to go the extra mile and has always helped us out of the inevitable hiccups that come with travel. It's a great feeling knowing she has your back! Now both my parents, my parents-in-law and sister-in-law all use her to help them with their travel needs. So it's obvious we think she is pretty awesome! We all couldn't recommend her any more highly. - Tim
