My years of studying and my personal experience of travelling to Australia on family holidays has fuelled my passion for creating unforgettable holidays. I spend my days designing holidays within New Zealand, Australia, the South Pacific and Asia, and I absolutely love arranging cruise holidays.

I booked my first overseas trip with House of Travel so it's a pretty surreal feeling that I get to be a part of the team now. I have a real love for travel from Paragliding in Austria, Train trips through Japan to VIP parties in Las Vegas. I want to bring that same joy that I feel while travelling to as many people that are wanting to get out there and see the world!

Nothing brings me more joy then hearing of clients travel plans, putting together itineraries and making their travel experience run as smooth as possible from start to finish.

    Ever tried airplane karaoke?

    Swifties are taking the world by storm and especially Kiwis. Taylor Swift has finished one of her shows in Melbourne where Kiwis flying back home didn't let the energy dial down just yet. Passengers onboard the 4 hour NZ128 flight back home from Melbourne had one of Taylor's hits "Shake it Off" playing during the flight with the Eras concert goers were singing and standing during the flight.
  • Slide 2

    4 wheels or 2? Here's one of the best destinations to explore using a scooter!

    When you think Italy you probably think Ferrari. Well, we think you should choose... Vespa! Italy is home to one of the most historically beautiful countries and monuments in the world. Flying by in your Ferrari won't let you enjoy the views. Slow down and take it in with a 2-wheeled wonder. The urban streets filled with culture and the Italian countryside, either of which are perfectly suited for the iconic moped and is definitely a must-do on your bucket list.
  • Slide 3

    Kings Cross has a new boutique hotel opened in this iconic location.

Hotel Indigo Potts Point is the name and it's taking Sydney by storm as it sits right behind the iconic "Coke sign" in Sydney. The hotel brings past and future together in a boutique and luxurious way.

Our travel stories

Postcard from Camino Trail

Walking the last 150kms of the Camino Trail was very rewarding. Well worth paying to have your luggage transported between each town.

Postcard from Las Vegas

We all know Las Vegas for its Casinos, shows, shopping and bright lights and I love it, but did you know...

Postcard from Cambodia

Angkor Wat and the temples around Siem Reap are beautiful. My favourite is Ta Prohm with the roots growing up through the ruins, a little bit Indiana Jones.

Postcards from France

I am seriously in love with France, be it the Glitz of Paris, The charming villages of Rural France, be it Provence, Burgundy, coastal or inland I just can't seem too every have enough time here.

Postcards from Africa

AFRICA was a life long dream to experience real wilderness, and when we finally got there it exceeded everything I could have imagined. 

Postcard from Gold Coast

Gold Coast was perfect for a couple’s getaway, It was great to see some warm days since it’s a little colder in New Zealand.


Postcard from Bali

After visiting Bali, I saw everything we know it for.. Beach Bars, Coloured Bean Bags & Umbrellas on the beach, Bintang, Rice Terraces, Monkey Forest’s and so much more! However, while visiting Bali, I got to experience all the hidden beauty that Bali has to show! 

Postcard from Sydney

You can’t visit Sydney without out heading down to the waterfront at Circular Quay where the Sydney Opera House is located along with the stunning view of the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
