Beat the blues at Mardi Gras in New Orleans

Having spent the last 25 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 have been in the travel industry since 1987 as a tour leader, travel advisor, traveler visiting the globe, and now Owner Operator of House of Travel Dunedin City. 

My travels have encompassed 105 countries initially using all forms of transport from a double decker bus around Europe to rickshaws in Asia to horses in the Middle East and dugout canoes in Central Africa with camels, elephants, donkeys and bicycles in-between. 

I am more than willing to travel in a lot more comfort these days visiting the Pacific, Myanmar, India, Vietnam, Ireland, China, Cambodia, Hong Kong, Thailand, Japan, USA, Cayman Islands, Zimbabwe, Turkiye and Malta in recent years. 

I believe the transition is similar for people of my generation who still yearn to visit anywhere and everywhere but enjoy a bit, or a lot, more luxury. As such I have developed an in-depth knowledge of the whole spectrum of travel options and regularly come up with solutions to the most complex of travel plans.

I've spent the majority of my working career in some form of the travel industry and have returned to my happy place of working face-to-face with clients. It brings the most joy when I see the excitement on their face and I have the responsibility to live up to and exceed their expectations. But travel is now ever- changing, volatile and can throw up surprises at a moments notice. Having your travel consultant in your back pocket from start to finish, can give you reassurance you will not be left on your own, even if you do get stranded!
