Why I Love Travel
The places I see and the people I meet—travel truly is the best way to broaden the mind. It allows you to experience and learn from different cultures and walks of life. Life is short; travel often.
My Travel Tips
- If you are always early, you are never late.
- Pre-book as much as possible before departure and schedule rest days on longer trips.
- Live courageously—100% of the opportunities you don’t take are missed.
My Top Three Favourite Destinations
Italy
The food, history, people, dramatic coastlines, and mountains—Italy deserves a place on everyone’s bucket list.
USA
With its extraordinary diversity of cultures and experiences, you could spend a lifetime exploring the United States and still not see it all.
Patagonia
Challenging to reach, but the dramatic landscapes that greet you make every moment of the journey worthwhile.

House of Travel Nelson
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.
