To me, travel shapes your view of the world and your place in it and I'm really passionate about creating itineraries that speak to my clients souls. I love travelling with my family and seeing my teenage girls minds blown by the experiences they have in different countries - different ways of living, different foods, different cultures, amazing sites (and sights!) and really seeing what is important to other people outside of the goldfish bowl that is New Zealand.

After many decades of working in store looking after so many amazing holidays for my clients I am now working remotely from the USA. My role now is to still create these fantastic holidays however, in conjunction with the other consultants in the office. So make an appointment with a consultant in store and then they will be in touch with me and I will assist them in putting together your holiday. This way you still have me having input into your trip but the convenience of someone in store during office hours. I look forward to still being part of your journey!

I am a food-loving, adventurous traveler and have been lucky enough to travel the world. I love to delve deep into a destination’s culture, learning the history of each place along with getting to know the people, their traditions, their customs, and of course their food!
