Our Team

Naome has travelled widely, having visited 27 countries during her time in the industry, and is supported wholeheartedly by a passionate team covering administration, marketing and documentation. She has covered all styles of travel – budget through to 6-star, cruising to adventure travel, singles tours to family holidays. Each booking favours Naome’s full attention, personally scrutinised, in conjunction with more than 22 years of industry and travel experience.

Most recently, Naome has experienced India, the Kimberley Region and the Christmas Markets of Europe on a river cruise. It is these experiences that ensure you receive the most current advice and personal recommendations for your travel. Other destinations experienced include the UK and western Europe, Mauritius, Vietnam, Cambodia, Hawaii, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, nearly all of Australia, Fiji, New Caledonia, the Cook Islands, Samoa, Hong Kong, Dubai and Qatar! 

Naome doesn’t have a passion for travel - her passion IS travel. Years of searching for a ‘hobby’ led her to the realisation that her work and her hobby is travel. It’s not only travelling for herself that she enjoys, don’t even try to stop her when she gets started passionately assisting you with your next holiday!

Lisa Cheso classes herself as a 'gadabout', someone who travels often or to many different places for pleasure! Lisa lives for travel. She concluded her tenure in a farming business in 2007 and transitioned to a travel consultant where she dreams, talks, thinks and, of course, plans a lot of travel - not just for herself but for her customers who share those travel dreams. 

Since she started travelling in her early 20s, Lisa discovered that the world is such an interesting place. Now, every journey she takes and every trip she plans for clients adds to her extensive repertoire of travel adventures. While she's only touched parts of the big wide world, having been to 39 countries and counting, Lisa's favourite destination is Europe and Morocco. The culture, history and architecture never fail to amaze. 

Lisa's most memorable holiday was to Namibia and South Africa. The stunning landscape in Namibia is something to see, and the experience of an African safari is a must. Being within a few feet of animals while on a walk looking for rhino or lions was thrilling and seeing the Big 5 is a definite bucket list tick!

There is a Swedish term 'resfeber' which refers to the restless race of a traveller’s heart before the journey begins, a tangled feeling of fear and excitement. This is Lisa every time and she puts it down to a sense of excitement for the unknown and what she will find on her next adventure. 

To contact Lisa directly, please email lisa@argyletravel.com.au and together you can plan your adventure.

For more than 15 years, Holly Somerfield has dedicated her career to helping people experience the world in meaningful, memorable ways. Her journey began at just 17, fresh out of school, working in leisure travel under the guidance of Naome – an introduction that sparked a lifelong passion for the industry.

After building her foundation in leisure travel, Holly relocated to Adelaide, where she stepped confidently into the corporate travel world. Over the years, she has managed everything from detailed business itineraries to large scale group incentive programs, bringing together her organisational strengths, creativity and calm, solutions focused approach. Her ability to balance precision with personalised service has made her a trusted partner for both corporate clients and group travellers alike. 

For six years, Holly held a dynamic leadership role as Business Development Manager for a national occupational therapy franchise. She led a team spread across five states, navigating diverse personalities, working styles and goals. Building strong relationships, she supported new business owners and became the go-to problem solver. This chapter gave her a wealth of knowledge in people management, communication and strategic growth — skills that now complement her extensive travel industry experience beautifully.

Holly’s personal travels continue to inspire her work. Highlights include swimming with whale sharks in Oslob in the Philippines, wandering the lantern lit streets of Hoi An in Vietnam and climbing the iconic Sigiriya Lion Rock in Sri Lanka – an unforgettable moment surrounded by sweeping jungle views and ancient history. Outside of work, Holly enjoys life on the road in her caravan, embracing the slower pace of life on the road. She also enjoys roaming the beach for cowrie shells and eating her way through markets! Driven by passion, grounded in experience and fuelled by curiosity, Holly continues to inspire travellers to see the world with confidence, joy and wonder.
