Why I love travel: 

The places I see and the people I meet, travel really is the best way to broaden the mind. It allows you to experience and learn from all cultures and walks of life. Remember life is short, travel often. 

My travel tips: 

• If you are always early, you are never late. 
• Prebook as much as possible before you go and schedule rest days on long trips.
• Live courageously - you miss 100% of the opportunities you don't take. 

My top 3 favourite destinations: 

• Italy - The food, the history, the people, the stunning coastlines, and mountains. Italy should be on everyone's bucket list. 
• USA - With a multitude of cultures to experience and adventures to be had, you could spend your life just in the USA and not see everything. 
• Patagonia - A challenge to reach, the landscapes that will great you make every minute of the journey worth the effort. 

What's in my suitcase: 

• Kindle/E-reader - it is easy to pack, light to carry, and has a long battery life; this is an essential on all my trips. 
• Noise cancelling headphones - perfect for noisy flights and airports. 
• Travel plug adapter - easy to forget but a must have.

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.
