Hi, I’m Megan! I’ve spent over 13 years in the travel industry, helping people plan trips that are exciting, enriching, and full of unforgettable moments. I’m all about finding experiences that are a little different—whether it’s an adventurous trek, a hidden gem, or a relaxing escape.

Having lived and worked overseas, I’ve gained a lot of insight into what makes travel so special. I love discovering new places and connecting with locals, and I’m always on the lookout for unique experiences that you won’t find in typical guidebooks. My goal is to help you explore the world in a way that feels personal and meaningful, no matter where you’re headed.

When I’m not helping others plan their travels, you’ll likely find me exploring new destinations with my family, seeking out adventures, and getting inspired by the world around me. Let’s work together to plan your next journey, whether it’s a relaxing getaway, a cultural immersion, or a thrilling adventure—you’ll be in great hands!

House of Travel Tauranga: The Crossing

I am an adventure seeker with a passion for exploring the world and experiencing everything it has to offer. I'm always on the lookout for new and exciting experiences and have a particular love for small group tours and adventures. Whether it's cruising in the Galapagos Islands or exploring new cities, I love the intimacy and camaraderie that comes with traveling in small groups. 

When I'm not adventuring, you can often find me at live sports and events, cheering on my favourite teams and soaking up the excitement of the crowd. Or I'm equally at home soaking up the sun during a beautiful island beach holiday.  

I also have a love for cruising and have had the opportunity to explore new destinations such as the Mediterranean, the coastlines of Spain and Portugal, the Rhône and Saône Rivers in Southern France, canal boating in England, and cruising across the Tasman. All while enjoying the comforts and amenities of life on the water. 

One of my favourite pastimes is people watching whether it's from a cafe in Paris or on the streets of New York. For me, there is nothing more fascinating than observing the unique and diverse cultures of the world and the interactions of the people within them. I'm always seeking out new experiences and adventures, driven by a deep curiosity and a thirst for knowledge and understanding.
