Caitlin, Travel Advisor at Hobbiton

Caitlin Lamprecht is a Travel Advisor at About Australia with a lifelong passion for travel and a deep belief in its power to connect people and cultures. With a bachelor’s degree in Parks, Recreation, and Tourism Studies with an emphasis in Tourism Management, Caitlin brings both professional expertise and genuine enthusiasm to every itinerary she designs.

Her connection to the South Pacific runs deep. Caitlin’s husband and his family are from New Zealand, giving her the rare perspective of experiencing the country as both a tourist and a local. She has traveled through the North and South Islands multiple times, building an intimate knowledge of the culture, geography, and experiences that make New Zealand so special. It’s a place she loves sharing with the world.

Caitlin is an Aussie Specialist, Fiji Bronze Specialist, and Advanced New Zealand Specialist, with additional advanced coursework spanning many aspects of the travel and tourism industry. Her background in destination management and group travel gives her a sharp eye for logistics and a talent for creating seamless, well-paced journeys.

What sets Caitlin apart is her approach to understanding what truly motivates each traveler. Whether a client is seeking adventure, relaxation, or a deep dive into a new culture, she listens carefully to their likes, dislikes, and travel style before building an experience curated specifically for them. For Caitlin, the goal is always the same: to help create unforgettable memories.

She believes travel has the unique ability to foster compassion, friendship, and the realization that we all have far more similarities than differences. Being able to help others experience those moments of joy and discovery is what makes this work so fulfilling for her.

A word from Caitlin:

What inspired you to pursue a career in the travel industry?

“I have always had a strong desire to go out and see the world, and I was very lucky to start travelling at a young age. I love learning about the history and culture of the places I visit, seeing new things, trying new foods, and experiencing life in a new and wondrous way. I believe that through travel we can come to understand a place and its people, and through that understanding we can foster compassion and friendship. Being able to help others have those same experiences, and help create moments of joy and discovery, is extremely fulfilling. I’m so glad this is what I get to do for work!”
