Lovely to meet you

I’m originally from Ireland but have lived in Paihia for over 10 years. I am lucky enough to have travelled to many wonderful places in the world and am also lucky enough to be in a job that I help people to create their dream holidays. I am passionate about people and their travel adventures. I love creating itineraries of all descriptions, whether it is a family trip to Fiji or a cruise in Europe. People are always happy when planning a holiday and I love being a part of that. 

I am based in Kerikeri and can be flexible for clients in the Northland Region. I thrive on putting together itineraries that is particularly suited to that specific client, going that extra mile and learning from their experiences. I always appreciate feedback whether is good or not, it helps me to become more knowledgeable in this ever changing world we live in.  Google will provide answers but I will take the time to personalise a trip to find out exactly what the client wants. 


My bucket list grows every day but planning to explore Sri Lanka, Maldives, Tasmania and Niue in the near future.

My favourite holiday memories

  • Aitutaki
    Aitutaki Mairead Burke

    One of the most beautiful places. Remote, relaxing, value for money, amazing people, a short flight from Rarotonga - definite must when visiting the Cook Islands.

  • USA - San Francisco
    Sfo Mairead Burke

    I loved the San Francisco vibe. I walked across the Golden Gate Bridge, visited Alcatraz which was an extraordinary experience. Went wine tasting in Sonoma, visited the giant Redwood trees.

  • Northern Ireland

    Of course I love my home country so I am a little biased when it comes to the Emerald Isle. There is something for everyone. So easy to get around, the best hospitality in the world, the craic in the pubs, the Wild Atlantic Way, Guinness Storehouse, Titanic museum, Giants Causeway, the list is endless. 

    I have yet to meet someone that hasn't had fun in Ireland!!

  • Vietnam

    South East Asia has it all. Vietnam was an experience I wont forget! Crossing the road is an extreme sport but it adds to the adventure of this country. Delicious food and fabulous home stays. Cu Chi tunnels tour is a must.

    I would also highly exploring Cambodia and Laos too.
