Having worked in the
industry for over 30 years I still thrive on the excitement that builds as I
help plan travel adventures both for my clients and of course myself.
Hearing the anecdotes and stories on your return home continues to feed
my wanderlust passion. I love the challenge of a tricky flight itinerary, and
travel destinations of the beaten track. My passion for exploration and
dedication to service will ensure you experience your dream holiday.

I have been in the travel Industry for 20 years and am convinced that it
is the most exciting industry to be a part of.
I still get excited about all things travel and love exploring new and exciting
destinations or passing on the knowledge and ideas to customers to ensure they
have the most amazing experience on holiday.

I’m someone who’s always
had a deep passion for travel and a genuine love of connecting people with the
world around them.
I’ve been fortunate to live in several countries and have spent many months
backpacking through South America, Europe and Asia, experiences that have given me a deep
appreciation for different cultures, landscapes, and ways of life. For me,
travel is more than just visiting new places, it’s about creating meaningful
connections and helping others experience the transformative power of
discovering the world.
Whether it’s sharing stories, planning journeys, or offering guidance, I’m
passionate about helping others create their own unforgettable travel
experiences.

Having spent the last 30
years in the Travel Industry I can safely say "I love my job" !!
Getting to put together dream holidays is very rewarding and it's great to see
so many more Kiwis getting out to see this amazing world of ours...
I love to tailor holidays that are uniquely personal to you. Every person has
different needs, wants and "must do's" for their holiday. Nothing is
cookie cutter in the world of travel so being able to put together an itinerary
that is bespoke and personal is rewarding for myself and for you, the
traveller.
My favourite destinations would be Europe (especially France and Italy), South
East Asia (especially Vietnam and Thailand) and of course our Island
neighbours. I have been to Fiji numerous times and every time I just love it.
But there are so many places I have yet to travel to and I look forward to
sharing my travel stories along the way.
I look forward to working with you..
