House of Travel Papamoa
Travel
has been an integral part of my life for over 20 years, and I can't imagine
pursuing anything else. This year, I proudly celebrate my 17th year with
House of Travel Papamoa, where I truly love being a 'hottie.' Our store boasts
a fantastic team culture that makes coming to work a joyful experience every
day.
I find immense satisfaction in crafting bespoke itineraries that
transform my clients' dreams into reality. While the USA remains my favourite
destination, my travels have also taken me through the stunning landscapes of
New Zealand, the enchanting South Pacific, vibrant Australia, diverse Europe,
and picturesque Canada and Alaska. This year (2024), I had the incredible
opportunity to experience the magic of South Africa, where witnessing wildlife
in their natural habitat is nothing short of breath-taking. Being on safari
brings you so close to majestic animals, just meters away, creating
unforgettable memories.
Remember, your holiday begins the moment you step through our
door. I invite you to share your vision of the perfect getaway—how it looks and
feels, any research you've conducted, and your essential must-haves. The more
we delve into your aspirations together, the more extraordinary your holiday
will be!

I am very passionate about travel that can immerse us into the cultures of the country we visit.
Being sustainable and giving back to these communities whilst we travel is so important to me and I have many tips and experiences to help do this on all holidays.
Isabella Taylor
House of Travel Northlink (formerly Northlands)
Travel has always been a big part of who I am, and I love helping people turn their dream holidays into something personal, seamless, and unforgettable.
From adventure and culture to great food, relaxation, and those special moments along the way, I enjoy creating trips tailored to each traveller. Having explored Los Angeles, Thailand, Bali, Singapore, Australia, the Pacific Islands and Europe, experienced a Rhine River cruise, and travelled with Contiki, I bring genuine firsthand insight to every holiday I help plan.
Three things I can’t travel without:
- My Uniqlo crossbody bag
- A portable charger
- My passport, of course
