Hello and thanks for dropping by. I'm Elizabeth Floyd - your Companion cum curator, organiser, experience enhancer... Inspired by bygone days. Reimagined for today.
In the great salons and theatres of Europe it was once customary to share art, music, and ideas in the company of others - someone who could open doors, spark conversation and heighten the pleasure of the experience. And it was common for people of means to travel with a trusted companion - someone who offered company, cultural insight and practical support.
Rethinking tradition into a modern frame ...People describe me as "curious, considerate and easy to be with — the kind of companion who takes care of the details while sharing the joy of discovery". Whatever your interests; whether you are a Perth-local or a visitor to our beautiful city and its surrounds, I bring thoughtful arts, culture and travel companionship, helping you uncover the hidden or to experience your own favourites with the same goal of making each journey and encounter richer when shared.
...the making of a Companion
Perth born and raised, I've lived in 4 countries and travelled widely. The road to this Companionship concept has been a steady evolution. My first foray into seeing the world had me choosing working on board Cruise Ships... ball-gowns and caviar, over the traditional back-packing and ruck-sack option. This evolved into a UK-based career in international events which too, indulged me with the best of travel, locations, accommodation and programme experiences.
Over the years I’ve had the privilege of working with and accompanying people from all walks of life — including, one very special day of companioning Princess Diana. These experiences reminded me that no matter who we are, we all value warmth, connection, and the chance to simply enjoy the moment in good company.
Spotting a trend of increased aloneness and desire for more shared arts and culture experiences for individuals, I founded Arts & Culture Companion London. To my surprise it took off - all by word of mouth.
Returning home to Perth in 2024 accompanied by a breadth of knowledge and experiences, I spent 6 months working with the marvel that is Committee for Perth. This catapulted me into all things Perth and fueled a new-found passion for Perth (Boorloo) and all it offers. Adding Travel Companion to my Arts & Culture Companion offering, I launched here in Perth.
