HELLO
I'm Joanne.B
Kogarah 0419 419 125

I’m Joanne Balasas and I’m your experiened personal travel manager with over 24 years in the travel industry. I started working as a travel agent in 1994 and have since worked with many agencies before coming a mobile agent with itravel.

I live in Kogarah/Monterey area for the last 20 years with husband John and my 2 daughters Rosie and Georgia.

I am of Greek/Cypriot background and have travelled numerous times to Greece, the various Greek Islands and Cyprus. My travels have also taken me to various countries including: Italy, the United Arab Emirates, London, Malta, Marseille in France, Valencia in Spain , New Zealand , Fijii, Vanuatu, Malaysia, Singapore, Maldives, USA, Bahamas & Cancun, Hawaii, Phuket in Thailand, Queensland and various Australian islands.

My favourite destination by far would be Cyprus and the Greek Islands – actually the whole Mediterranean captivates me!

I specialise in selling the Meditteranean and Europe and I love Hawaii and the USA. Travel is my passion.

I have won many awards for sales, top achiever consultant for example, the Los Angeles Halloween famil for top sellers with Qantas, the Abu Dhabi top seller with Virgin Airlines and many more.

I take pride in customer service and make all my clients feel special and important. Selling travel is easy because I love to travel and I love to sell dreams, to make people smile and remember their experience they just created for themselves.

What do I like about being an itravel mobile agent? I love the flexibility of being an itravel mobile consultant and with that being able to do my work when and how it suits me and my clients without being on clock to start and finish normal office hours. I’m also very happy to meet my clients when and where it suits them as I know that customer service is very important!

Need to book your next family holiday, an anniversary getaway or maybe a family reunion cruise? Give me a call or email and I’ll be happy to help you with your travel plans!
