Lovely to meet you

Having spent the last 25 years in the Travel Industry I can safely say "I love my job".

Getting to put together dream holidays is very rewarding and it's great to see so many more Kiwis getting out to see this amazing world of ours...

My travel stories

Postcard from Samoa

What a fantastic place to visit for a family holiday. Cute villages with friendly locals always ready with a smile and wave.

Postcard from Tuscany

Ciao! Who doesn't love Italy?! A wonderful country to visit. So much to see and do...

Postcard from Fiji

Bula, come to Fiji! I love Fiji and have been there many times over the years and have pretty much been to most of the main touristy areas and stayed in lots of different resorts.  

Postcard from Fiji

I simply love Fiji - always greeted with a friendly Bula, the people are so friendly and always smiling. 

Europe

Europe is one of my favourite destinations and an area I feel I am an expert in.  I have lived in France and the UK when I did my OE at a young age and have returned a number of times since.  

Postcard from Samoa

Samoa is also a fantastic place to visit in the South Pacific.  I loved the beauty and tranquility of this destination.  There are not a huge amount of resorts on their main islands so you do need to book early.  

Postcard from Singapore

Singapore is I feel a destination in it's own right now - previously always a favourite for stopovers now it really has so much to offer.
