Lovely to meet you
For as long as I can remember, travel has always been a huge part of my life. I grew up travelling multiple times a year, so it's no surprise I chose a career in the travel industry to carry this on in my adult life!
My love of travelling and experiencing different cultures is what drives me to create bespoke travel itineraries for all of my clients. I truly believe that travel sparks our imagination, feeds our curiosity, and reminds us how much we all have in common.
I have explored various parts of the world along with our own backyard and will continue to do this to not only fulfil my desire to travel more but also to advance my knowledge of locations that may be of interest to my clients.
Excelling your needs, wants and expectations before, during and after travel is my main priority. I would love to create a truly amazing trip and memories that will last you a lifetime!

My travel passions
18yr-30 Something Travel - Being part of Gen Z helps me to connect with not only my own generation, but also Millennials and Gen Alpha. I know the importance of self-exploration, making new friends, Contiki trips and also sometimes needing a helping hand... I also know a thing or two about how late nights don't mix well with early morning activities!
Australia - Just across the ditch is "The Land Down Under", Australia. Consistently voted one of the most desired destinations on earth, there's no question why. Being an 'Aussie Specialist' allows me to show you more than just your well-known locations, such as Bondi Beach, The Gold Coast and The Great Barrier Reef. Let me show you the amazing Aboriginal rock art in Uluru, the Ningaloo Reef, to swim with Whale Sharks or taste your birth-year wine in the Barossa Valley.
South Pacific- Exquisite natural beauty, cultural experiences, crystal clear waters, adventure activities, local cuisine, incredible wildlife encounters and great weather all year round are all things that come to mind when I think of the South Pacific. Having visited multiple islands within the South Pacific, I really can't name a reason why any of these islands aren't on your bucket list!
Luxury Travel- Having spent the first part of my career working within the luxury tourism sector, I am well versed with what makes a trip stand out. To me, luxury travel isn't just about staying in the best hotel and enjoying Michelin-star restaurants, it's about the overall ease and enjoyment of the trip. Connecting with private guides for exclusive experiences, personalised service and overall seamless efficiency is what makes luxury travel luxury.

My travel stories
Postcard from Europe
Think European Summer + travelling with your best friends... sounds good? Well, that's how I spent my New Zealand Winter! I escaped the cold and headed to London to join my friends for a 2 month trip travelling around in the European sun.
Postcard from Dubai
While transiting through Dubai can be convenient, there are so many reasons why you should consider spending time in the city instead! I visited Dubai with my family in November 2023, and it is still one of my favourite destinations.
