Be spellbound by Iguazu Falls
South America
Taller than the Niagara Falls and four times as wide, the Iguazu Falls are one of the world’s most awe-inspiring natural sights – you will be spellbound by its vast scale, thunderous sound, and soaking spray. Nestled between two national parks and the countries of Brazil and Argentina, this horseshoe shaped chain of hundreds of cascading waterfalls pounding from heights of 82 metres it really is an impressive sight.
We recommend viewing from the Argentina side, as it’s arguably more impressive than Brazil, but it’s The Devil’s Throat which really dumb-founds. If you’re a movie buff, you’ll recognise these impressive falls featured in various Hollywood blockbusters - The Mission, Miami Vice and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
There is plenty more to do beside the Falls in Iguazu, we recommend at least two full days to fully explore.

I’m someone who’s always
had a deep passion for travel and a genuine love of connecting people with the
world around them.
I’ve been fortunate to live in several countries and have spent many months
backpacking through South America, Europe and Asia, experiences that have given me a deep
appreciation for different cultures, landscapes, and ways of life. For me,
travel is more than just visiting new places, it’s about creating meaningful
connections and helping others experience the transformative power of
discovering the world.
Whether it’s sharing stories, planning journeys, or offering guidance, I’m
passionate about helping others create their own unforgettable travel
experiences.

With over 40 years of travel experience, including 30 years living and working in the USA, I’ve developed a deep passion for showcasing the beauty and diversity of the United States. But my love of travel goes far beyond that. Travel is not just a career for me—it's a lifelong journey that has shaped my understanding of the world and its many cultures.
I thrive on helping my clients discover unique, off-the-beaten-path destinations, and I have a special fondness for authentic, remote locations that offer a genuine connection to the culture and landscape. My adventures have taken me to the vast sands of Morocco and Egypt, where I’ve explored ancient ruins and vibrant markets. I’ve trekked the Inca Trail in Peru and hiked to Everest Base Camp in Nepal, experiencing firsthand the stunning landscapes and welcoming communities.
Whether it’s trekking through the mountains of Nepal or uncovering hidden gems in Peru, I love guiding travellers to places that offer more than just sightseeing—they offer a chance to truly connect with the world. I find great joy in helping my clients turn their dream holidays into reality, whether they’re after iconic landmarks or remote locations that are rich in culture and adventure.
Through my work as a travel agent, I create experiences that go beyond the ordinary, helping travellers discover not only new places but new perspectives. Let me help you craft a journey that will stay with you long after you’ve returned home.

As the proud Owner Operator of House of Travel Nelson, I lead a small but passionate team dedicated to taking care of all your travel needs.
I primarily work on the Orbit World Travel side of our business, specialising in business and group travel. But as a traveller myself, I love chatting with customers and the team about their upcoming adventures — there’s nothing better than sharing in the excitement of a great trip!
Travel has played a huge role in my life. From years of family holidays to the Gold Coast and Fiji, where the kids spent hours in the pool or on the playground, to unforgettable highlights like Disneyland (they were 10 and 12 — the perfect age!), followed by a relaxing week in Mexico. These days, with older kids, we’re seeking more adventure. Our recent trip to Vietnam was a standout — from the vibrant energy of Ho Chi Minh City to the peaceful beauty of Hoi An's lanterns and Halong Bay. If you haven’t been, it’s a must!
Next on my list? Europe. While I’ve done a couple of quick trips
in the past, I’m keen to take the time to explore the diverse cultures and rich
history of the places I’ve spent years helping others discover.
Whether your trip is big or small, come in and see us at House of Travel Nelson — we’ll make sure it’s your best one yet.
