I now understand why and it will take you time to get faith back. Never pay deposits unless only 20% of booking which is showing good faith on both sides.I booked Alycia in 2020 2 years later I am yet to see her. I paid the full amount which was $1870. Then Covid hit and booking was postponed. Then in March of 2020 ( 13 months after booking) she announced a Perth tour. Great I thought. Arranged a meeting and drove in to city for a Tuesday night booking. I texted no reply I texted again and again no reply I rang and no answer. After 1 hour of frustration I went home. a week later I got a reply saying she had been stalked by ex in QLD and went into hiding. I asked for some money back a d to this day haven't seen a dime. I can only say I was stupid enough to pay up front. Trying to make sense of it all but in the end I'm out almost $2000 I know have given up hope of ever getting my $$ back or Alycia fullfilling the booking. The thing that pisses me off a fair bit is there has been zero correspondence from Alycia over the journey once the money was paid. I hope others out there don't make the same .mistake.
I feel ripped off and gullible
