Pintxos tasting one small bite at a time in Spain
Spain, Europe
San Sebastián has a reputation that’s hard to beat. The city is packed with pintxos bars, each turning out bite-sized plates that range from simple classics to inventive takes worthy of Michelin-star status.
A pintxos tour is the easiest way to tap into the local rhythm: you move from bar to bar, try one or two dishes at each spot and pair them with a small glass of cider or txakoli, the region’s crisp white wine.
The Old Town is the heart of it, with places known for standout dishes like slow-cooked beef cheeks, fresh anchovies or grilled prawns done right in front of you.
It is casual, social and full of flavour, and it shows why San Sebastián keeps topping lists for Europe’s best food experiences.

You
know how some people collect handbags or shoes, well I have a love of
collecting passport stamps! I developed a bit of a passion for adventure travel
since working in the States at a summer camp in my early 20’s. I have travelled
to over 40 countries, doing everything from eating scorpions in China,
snorkelling the Silfra fissure in Iceland, to skydiving in Namibia.

Lovely to meet you! My love for travel began early—at 19, I
left New Zealand with a one-way ticket to London to start my OE, and I’ve never
looked back. I spent eight years living overseas, including four incredible
years in London, where I explored Europe extensively. (Barcelona still has my
heart!)
I began my travel career in Melbourne in 2004, and I knew I’d found my dream job. Even now, I still smile every day coming to work—I truly LOVE what I do.
Helping clients plan their adventures brings me so much joy.
I specialise in point-to-point Europe itineraries, and I’m especially
passionate about tours and cruising. Whether it’s your first trip or your
tenth, I’m here to make your journey smooth, exciting, and unforgettable from
start to finish.
I’m known for being friendly, bubbly, and a great listener. I’ll take the time to understand your needs and offer thoughtful advice and suggestions to make your trip the best it can be.
Now based on a dairy farm in Reporoa with my husband and our three young children, I understand the #mumlife juggle—and the importance of taking time out for a well-earned holiday! Having travelled to over 40 countries, I can’t wait to share my experience with you.
