Rochelle & Kiri: Two Sisters, One Passion for Travel

We’re Rochelle and Kiri, two sisters and the team behind Connected Travel by Rochelle & Kiri, a boutique travel business based in Melbourne.

While we share a love of travel and creating memorable holidays, we each bring something a little different to the table!


Rochelle specialises in immersive, bucket-list experiences, from African safaris and Alaskan adventures to exploring the culture, food and hidden gems of Italy. Kiri’s passion lies in romantic escapes, premium honeymoons, destination weddings and unforgettable couples’ holidays.

Whether you’re planning the adventure of a lifetime or celebrating one of life’s biggest milestones, you’ll have a dedicated travel advisor who understands exactly the kind of experience you’re looking for.

Meet Rochelle Barnett – Alaska, Italy & African Safari Specialist

Hi, I’m Rochelle!

I specialise in creating personalised, immersive travel experiences, particularly African safaris, Alaska adventures and holidays through Italy.

Whether you’re dreaming of watching wildlife roam the African plains, witnessing Alaska’s spectacular glaciers or discovering Italy’s incredible food, culture and hidden gems, I love bringing those bucket-list experiences to life.


For me, it’s about more than just booking a holiday. It’s understanding how you like to travel and creating a thoughtfully planned journey that combines authentic experiences, comfort and those unforgettable moments that stay with you long after you’ve returned home.
