My travel passions

European Adventures - I love to see my clients time away spent checking off those bucket list dreams and making them a reality, rather than figuring out the logistics of navigating a continent as big as Europe!! I take that list of things to see and do, and plot the perfect trip that flows well geographically. The best trips are the ones where they are immersed in the surroundings, history and culture, and to do that I keep them away from long airport waits and utilize Cruise, both Ocean and River, Rail & Ferries where possible.

History & Culture- Whether it's Europe or South East Asia, if there are ruins, temples, tales of mythology or ancient history, I'm fascinated by it. I'm passionate about experiencing different cultures and immersing ourselves in history; it broadens the mind.

What my customers have to say

  • Booking my holiday was a dream. Ellie’s experience and knowledge of the country I am visiting helped me to book accommodation that was within budget and close to what I wanted to see and do and arrange flights that suited my needs. In all my dealings with her, she has been kind, helpful and professional; taking the time to make sure all my questions were fully answered. Thanks Ellie for taking all the stress away. I am now sitting back, relaxing and looking forward to my holiday.

  • Having decided to travel to UK in 2025 I 'phoned House of Travel Hobsonville and arranged an appointment with Ellie a consultant at the Branch. Ellie was very welcoming and suggested seating arrangements for my comfort , Ellie also organized assisted travel and the seats requested by me. Ellie is a charming girl kind patient efficient and happy to answer questions however complex or simple. Ellie is an asset to the Hobsonville branch and I recommend her to all who wish to make travel arrangements through an agent.
