Lovely to meet you

"Because in the end, you won't remember the time you spent working in the office or mowing your lawn. Climb that goddamn mountain." - Jack Kerouac.

That's the quote that inspired me to pursue my passion for travel and become a travel consultant. For the past seven years, I have been helping my clients plan their dream vacations and create unforgettable memories.

Some of my favorite personal travel moments have been swimming with dolphins, sting rays and turtles in the Maldives, zip lining through a Fijian rainforest, quad-biking through aboriginal landscapes and one of the largest sand dunes in the Southern Hemisphere (Port Stephens), being in New York over Christmas, weaving my own 'ei Katu (flower crown) in Rarotonga, exploring the Seventh wonder of the world - The Taj Mahal, parasailing over the beautiful Bay of Islands and visiting Disneyland for the first time in my 20s. These are all experiences that have been invaluable to me.

Meeting new people, trying new food, and experiencing new culture is something I thoroughly enjoy during my travels. And in my spare time, I attend training sessions and workshops to update my skills and knowledge on various destinations and products that I have not yet crossed off my list. So, whether you are looking for a relaxing beach getaway, a cultural adventure, or a thrilling safari, I can help you make it happen.

I'm a reliable, honest, and friendly travel consultant who listens to your needs and preferences. I can think outside the box and find creative solutions for any travel challenges.

My goal is to create an excellent customer experience for you, from the moment you contact me until you return from your journey. I can share with you my insights and tips on how to make the most of your trip, making you feel positive and excited about your travel plans.

If you are ready to climb that mountain or explore any other destination of your dreams, contact me today and let's start planning your next trip!

My favourite holiday memories

Maldives

Practically my second home! I recently spent 3 months in the Maldives visiting the islands. There is something for every budget from guesthouses to luxury resorts. You can never get tired of this view!!
North America

Disneyland, is truly the happiest place on earth, even for the big kids!! Don't forget to download the app - it saves you walking to attractions only to find out it is temporarily closed & gives you approximate wait times.
South Pacific Islands

The Pacific Islands are a great winter holiday escape. The people are the heart and soul of these destinations. Every islands has something different to offer. So far I have visited - Fiji, Cook Islands, Samoa and Vanuatu. Rarotonga is my favorite - hiring a motorcycle and getting around the island was too easy.
Singapore

Such a great stopover with lots to see and do. You can spend two full days just exploring Sentosa island. We loved the Singapore Zoo - rainforest setup and only a few steps away was the Night Safari. Plenty of photo opportunities and stunning views of Marina Bay sands and Gardens by the Bay.
Australia

Quad biking on the sand dunes in Port Stephens. You can enjoy stunning views of the coastline, explore the diverse terrain, and feel the thrill of riding on the largest moving sand dunes in the Southern Hemisphere.
