Sunshine Coast

Having spent 40+ years, 30 owning my own HOT outlet here in the heart of Wellington, in this exciting and ever changing industry you could say that extraordinary resilience is at the top of my skite sheet given the many and varying challenges that have faced travellers over the years.

My clients and colleagues describe me as a passionate people person, who endeavours to get the best out of a traveller's investment.

It is important for me to be inclusive of everyone within a travelling party, to hear the voice of each traveller, and ensure everyone's wishes are met.

Having been to all continents bar Antarctica which is high on my list, I have also travelled in all styles from budget overland backpacking to luxury cruises which allows me to relate to all clients and work with you for what is best for you.

Why a customer would choose me:

I'm honestly in my dream job - I get to combine my passion for travel with my love of organisation and planning. Travel has changed so much over the last few years and continues to do so, which means there are more details to consider than ever before. 

It's so much fun getting to know my clients and helping them come up with the perfect itinerary. I can research to my heart's content and get into the nitty gritty to make sure your trip flows smoothly.

You just bring me your dream and we can build it together. Then leave me to focus on the details, so that you can relax and have your best adventure yet!

Meet Me:

I moved home to NZ in 2017 after living on the Sunshine Coast in Australia for ten years during my 20's (yes, I'd love to help you plan your next trip over there).

In the weekends I'm either reading a good book at home cuddled up with my rescue cats, or traipsing through the local forests - I'm not much of a city dweller if I can help it.

When it comes to travel, my attitude leans more towards 'go big or go home'. If I'm flying halfway around the world, you can bet that I'm going to make the most of it. I will bargain hunt my heart out so that I can fit in more days, more locations and more fun. 

I mean, is there any better feeling in the world than standing somewhere you've never been before, experiencing new things, tasting new foods, meeting new people and just having the time of your life?

Travel has always ignited a deep passion within me. I’ve been incredibly fortunate to wander across distant lands and hidden gems, and my longing to explore continues to grow with every trip. After my time working in Florida, I've returned to the U.S. multiple times, and Philadelphia holds a special place in my heart—alive with history, bursting with vibrant culture, and so wonderfully easy to discover.

My journeys have taken me to London, Egypt, Jordan, and more recently, I’ve embraced the joy of exploring closer to home. I’ve been captivated by the awe-inspiring landscapes of Uluru and the Red Centre and mesmerized by the beauty of Heron Island in the southern reaches of the Great Barrier Reef. I’ve also fallen in love with the energetic pulse of Sydney and the breathtaking northwestern wonders of Tasmania—visiting Launceston, Cradle Mountain (even in summer, don’t forget your coat—the cold can surprise you), and Strahan.

As the dedicated Australia and Pacific specialist at our office, these adventures have not only broadened my horizons but have fuelled my passion to share these incredible experiences with others. I eagerly look forward to discovering more extraordinary destinations, immersing myself in diverse cultures, and creating unforgettable memories—wholeheartedly sharing that joy and passion with everyone I meet!
