Canada

Land of The Great Outdoors


Discover a world of wonders

Canada is so much more than maple syrup and mountains, it’s a vibrant tapestry of captivating cities, jaw-dropping scenery, and cultures as diverse as the landscapes themselves. From the French charm of Québec to the Celtic warmth of Nova Scotia, every province feels like stepping into a whole new world.

Imagine yourself exploring glittering glaciers, strolling through lush coastal forests, or soaking up the buzz of cosmopolitan Vancouver and Toronto. Picture spotting majestic wildlife, enjoying warm hospitality in charming towns, or breathing in crisp alpine air beside turquoise lakes.

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.

Having been born into an aviation family, I was always destined to become a passionate traveller, and have a lifelong fascination for aviation, airports, and exploring new destinations. 

Travel is in my blood, and my love for my job shines through, going above and beyond for my clients to ensure their needs are met with warmth, kindness, and an attentive ear. 

With a diverse background in the travel industry, my vast experience started with corporate travel for blue chip New Zealand companies, followed by a never-ending OE in London and Sydney in the Music & Film industry looking after global superstars and celebrities. Now back home in the Bay, I’m helping travellers with their holidays, corporate customers heading away for business, and specialising in group travel - whether travelling for sports, education, weddings, conferences, or events. I’m experienced in catering to a wide range of travel preferences and needs.

Whether you're planning a budget-friendly adventure or a luxurious getaway, I’ve tried it all, from economy to first class, I’ve even chartered private jets! I have great first-hand knowledge and I’m eager to share it with you to create a trip full of unforgettable experiences for you.

As your personal holiday builder I am here to take the stress out of your next holiday. Be it a family trip over the Tasman or romantic getaway to one of the sun soaked Pacific Islands, or maybe a bucket list destination trip. 

I have had 10 years in the travel industry -made up mostly of being an International Flight Attendant. I have been lucky enough to travel to many places and experience many cultures. But there is always somewhere new to go!

I want to take the stress out of the planning so you can focus on the excitement of the trip. I am highly organized and like to ensure everything has been thought of and accounted for. Communicating clearly along the way with you so you feel confident and reassured.

I am passionate about sustainable travel for the future. 

My entire career of 30 years has been in travel sales and tourism. I have travelled overseas more than a hundred times to over 70 countries and 6 continents for personal holidays, business and leisure.

I've made my home in London, Dorset, Chamonix and Auckland. I settled back in my home town of Christchurch after being away for five years. 

I love travel and how it enriches lives and provides a livelihood for people and communities around the globe. I love helping to inspire and inform clients, who care about the impact their choices have on local communities and the environment, and who want to have a great holiday. 

Sustainable doesn't mean you can't have luxury! My personal holidays always have a sense of adventure, you will find me on a beach or mountain or taking in a cultural experience to make the most of a destination. 

I personally rate train travel one of the best ways to casually explore, there's nothing I love more than checking in at a downtown railway station off to a new destination. I think travel provides new perspectives and respect for different cultures and values are par for the course. We can always find common ground when we are prepared to go out of our comfort zone. 

Why book your travel with me? I am a CLIA certified Cruise Master and dedicated to helping you with your travel plans. I have the tools and the networks available to assist with all styles of travel experiences you may be looking for.
