Canada

Land of The Great Outdoors


CANADA.

Staggeringly large and home to some distinctly diverse regions, Canada is a rich tapestry of contrasting cities and landscapes. The country is truly enormous and packed with all sorts of amazing places waiting to be discovered. As you move between the different provinces, you might be surprised to find the culture changing almost as drastically as the landscape. From Celtic and French influence on the east coast and English in the west, you might need to sometimes stop and ask yourself if you are in Canada. Wildlife lovers will be enthralled by the country’s huge open spaces, sprawling forests and diverse animal life.

Flight time.

The flight from Auckland to Canada varies depending on the city you're flying into, but you can fly non-stop in just about 13 hours.

Best time to go.

Summer (June to August) offers the warmest weather and is ideal for exploring the national parks, lakes, and cities. September to October is perfect for witnessing the stunning autumn colours, especially in regions like Ontario and Quebec.

Time difference.

Canada spans multiple time zones. For example, Vancouver (Pacific Time) is 19 hours behind New Zealand Standard Time (NZST, GMT +12), while Toronto (Eastern Time) is 16 hours behind. This significant time difference will require some adjustment, especially after a long flight.

Leaving home at 19 with a one way ticket to London to start my OE, it's fair to say I've had the travel bug for years! 

Living overseas for 8 years, and in London for four years, I travelled extensively around Europe. Barcelona is my favourite city! 

Then living in Melbourne for four years after that, this is where I started my career in travel in 2004. It was my dream job all those years ago and I still smile every day when I come to work now, I LOVE this job!

Nothing brings me more joy then hearing of clients travel plans, putting together itineraries and making their travel experience run as smooth as possible from start to finish. 

I like to think I am a friendly, bubbly personality, a good listener and I will take on board your needs while also guiding you with helpful advice and suggestions when needed. I live on a dairy farm in Reporoa with my husband and three young children, I understand the #mum-life juggle and the need to get away and escape for a holiday sometimes! Having travelled to nearly 40 countries, I have lots of experience that I cant wait to share it with you. Looking forward to meeting you soon.
