I liken planning a holiday to baking a cake. It takes several well measured and thought out ingredients for a great result.
I have been lucky to have travelled extensively myself and being a travel consultant for more than 20 years, I use these 'ingredients' - experience and expertise - to draw on to help create amazing holidays and lifelong memories.
It is such a pleasure to help my clients get the best out of their holidays and manage an incredible team of travel professionals.

As a 17 year old, I headed off to Finland on a student exchange for a year, my first ever overseas trip and the start of my passion for travel.
Whether it’s a quick jaunt across the Tasman, an adventure
through Vietnam or a guided coach tour of Europe, I love working with you
to create the perfect holiday.
Having been in the industry for over 30 years, I have an extensive knowledge of airfares, and travel providers, I combine that with the knowledge of my returning customers and the wisdom of the House of Travel collective to craft your travel.
There sure is a lot you need to know and I pride myself on keeping up to date with industry trends and changes. That may be new destinations to visit, beautiful places to stay or changes in travel requirements.
So get in touch and let me help make your travel dreams come true.

Spain and Portugal are 10 hours behind New Zealand, so plan for a noticeable time difference.
"Service"
Craig"Theresa is very knowledgeable about the places we want to go, and she is a delightful person to interact with."
John & Julie"Trudi was very prompt in getting back to us when we emailed her with our enquiry about a trip to Aitutaki. She sent us our itinerary with a quote within a day and all email correspondence was clear and concise. She has the knowledge to answer any questions we had and all replies to our emails were very prompt. There is absolutely doubt we will use Trudi to arrange future travel."
