Travel really is my passion and I perhaps love organising it just as much as the actual travelling. Being able to open up options for people they had no idea they could accomplish is truly exciting. I love the scope of what we can accomplish as a travel agent; our systems, knowledge and relationships with the right people all add up to being able to organise a truly memorable trip. I’ve done it all from tours, safaris, ocean and river cruises, adventure travel, self-drives, rail journeys, family travel specialising in all things Disney and I love to share my knowledge to help you achieve the trip of your lifetime.
Outside of the office I like to spend my time skiing, horse riding, tramping, scuba diving, getting outside on our lifestyle block with my two little girls or enjoying a glass of pinot with a side order of chocolate mousse.

Why I love travel?
Travel gives us our greatest stories, our most cherished memories and countless irreplaceable learnings that we can choose to pay forward to others. It teaches us about ourselves and each other, it broadens our horizons and, just like a reset button, it forces us to refocus on what really matters.
My travel tips:
- Pack your patient pants; Don’t sweat the stuff you can’t control. Your trip is
     much too short to stress. Did you miss your bus? No worries, there will be
     another one.. ATM out of
     money? Great! Take an unplanned road trip over to the next town and
     explore. I know it can be hard sometimes, but just
     take a deep breath and remind yourself that it could be worse.
- Focus on value over
     deals. It’s so easy to not look past the initial $ signs when organising
     your trip but how much extra will there be in added costs once you are at
     your destination, lost time or enjoyment is that initial saving really
     going to cost you once you are there. 
- Wake Up Early To Avoid Crowds. Rise before sunrise to have the best attractions all to yourself while avoiding large tourist crowds. It’s also a magical time for photos due to the softer light and often providing great opportunities to interact with locals getting ready for their day. Sketchy areas are less dangerous in the morning too. Honest hardworking people wake up early; scammers and criminals sleep in…
My top 5 favourite destinations: 
- Rio
     De Janeiro – Such an incredibly vibrant city. Imagine, having dinner in a
     local favela, no other tourists in sight and locals from ages 1-99 all
     together, laughing, dancing to the live music, everyone talking to
     everyone. A local group of young people came down the street performing
     the traditional capoeira martial art/dance and everyone heads outside to
     watch and cheer them on. It is always the people that make the place and
     Brazil’s people are very bit as colourful as this amazing city.
- Europe
     River cruise – A true holiday. Pull up each day in a different location,
     right in the heart of things, wander off the boat and go for it. Return
     when you feel like it to every luxury you could want, top class food and
     drink and every room has a front row view. No crowds, most ships have
     under 200 passengers and a great option for both first time travellers and
     more experienced as you tend to visit many of the smaller and often less
     visited towns.
- Rocky
     Mountaineer train journey – Starting in Banff, which really feels like the
     Queenstown of Canada and ending in Vancouver, a stunning city just a few
     minutes’ drive and from the beautiful redwood forests this train journey
     is must do travel experience. Seeing the spectacular scenery of the
     Rockies from the comfort of your warmed up spacious leather seat, the
     mountains are not just to either side but also above you through the glass
     roof of the train. 
- Borneo
     – Here you can combine stunningly beautiful beach resorts with a visit to
     the jungle; see the Proboscis monkeys, baby turtles being released into
     the ocean and one of the only places in the world to see Orangutans in
     their native habitat. One of the least explored areas on the planet with
     many adventures to be had but you don’t need to skimp on luxury.
- East Africa Safari – It is a strangely exciting experience to be told not to wander too far from your tent at night because wild animals are really all around you. From elephants wandering through our camp one evening, to hearing bison grazing in the grass around us while sleeping, Africa really is as wild as you hope it will be. So many travel experiences these days are replicas – shows put together for your enjoyment. Africa definitely is not; it could not get much more real. Seeing orphaned baby elephants playing football with each other, wandering over to you reaching out their trunk so smell you as you stand behind only a rope fence watching their antics is just one of the incredible experiences on offer in this amazing location.
What’s in my suitcase?
- A
     dog bed. I kid you not. These days I’m travelling with two little ones in
     tow and as strange as this sounds it’s a life saver on long haul
     flights-pair it with one of those big inflatable pillows that go where
     your legs usually do and you have a comfortable bed for the little ones to
     curl up in.
- A
     dirty laundry bag. One easy spot to place all the worn things and easy to
     take to the laundry with you while travelling or dump in the machine when
     home.
- Earplugs. I need a good nights sleep be ready to do everything I have planned for the next day on my holiday and you just never know what noises you might want to shut out while travelling.

House of Travel Papamoa
I have had a lifelong love affair for exploring the world. Raised in a family that prioritised travel, I inherited a passion for all things travel. I have lived in different countries (London, USA, Argentina) and I am fascinated with the rich tapestry of culture, people, religion and food in new places.
My love for travel has taken me to some of the world’s most amazing places!
From Mauritius to Bahamas and all in between, I have been privileged to experience the world and being able to speak and understand 5 languages English, Afrikaans, Dutch, German and Greek) certainly comes in helpful.
I have grown up in South Africa, spending most of my adult life there, being able to show my clients what makes this region so unique is a privilege. Africa was my backyard after all and even after living in NZ for almost 12 years, my heart still beats to the African Drum.
For me, choosing a favourite destination is impossible. But .. Bali has literally captivated my heart, and even though I have been there 20+ times, I still always find new things to uncover. As does the Maldives, Mauritius and Seychelles, these islands just have the “it” factor
I also love ocean cruising, especially Mediterranean and the Caribbean. Cruising offers such a great variety and a chance to see multiple destinations and experiencing iconic landmarks and locations from your hotel on the sea.
I WOULD SAY MY PASSION IS MAKING MY CLIENTS DREAM HOLIDAYS COME TRUE AND I PRIDE MYSELF ON MY EFFICIENT SERVICE AT ALL TIMES.
