About Erin
I’m Erin Parker, founder of Travel From Australia. I’ve travelled extensively through Finnish Lapland in winter and autumn, well beyond the usual tourist hubs, and I host group trips there, so the advice you get comes from firsthand experience.
Every partner I recommend is personally vetted, and I’m always transparent about which ones I’ve experienced first-hand.
What clients say
Restructured for my family
Erin is very knowledgeable and listened to my individual requirements. She went through my initial plan with pros and cons and restructured my itinerary, which is much better suited to my family. She even included some hints and tips of hidden local gems close to where we are staying.
Very little stress
Erin has been amazing throughout the entire planning journey. Her wealth of knowledge and local connections have helped me finalise my trip with very little stress. I couldn’t be happier with the experience!
A great plan for our family
It was lovely to share with Erin what our family wanted to get out of the holiday, and discussing the options helped me work out what was important and narrow down a great plan.
Spent less, got more reindeer
Erin’s tips and info made our Lapland trip so much easier to plan. She shared discount codes I never would have found on my own and saved us a surprising amount of money. Somehow I spent less and still got more reindeer. Clear, helpful, and generous with what she knows. If you’re heading to Lapland, start with Erin.
Local knowledge, and finding out things that I couldn’t find out online.
