Hi, I’m Kate, and
I’ve been lucky enough to spend over 40 years doing what I love—helping people
create incredible travel memories. My journey in the travel industry started
back in 1982 when I walked into a travel agency as a receptionist. Little did I
know, that first role would spark a lifelong passion for exploring the world
and sharing its wonders with others.
I’ll never forget
selling my very first trip to Singapore—it was a huge challenge because I had
no sales experience. But that moment taught me something I carry with me to
this day: with curiosity, determination, and a genuine love for people, you can
achieve amazing things. Over the years, every client I’ve worked with has
inspired me to keep learning, discovering new destinations, and finding creative
ways to make travel dreams come true.
My personal travels
have shaped the way I work. I’m all about active, adventurous experiences—like
trekking the Inca Trail in Peru or exploring Nepal on foot. I’ve cruised
through rivers and oceans, driven through the picturesque countryside of
France, the UK, Ireland, and Scotland, and even floated in hot air balloons
over Turkey, Egypt, and Australia.
Some of my favourite
moments include witnessing the breathtaking safaris of Botswana, staying at the
eco-luxury Knight Inlet Lodge, and immersing myself in Morocco’s vibrant
culture. A group trip to Ireland with the Waihou Rugby Club holds a special
place in my heart, reminding me how travel brings people together.
Even during the
Covid years, when travel came to a standstill, I stayed connected with my
clients, offering support and dreaming of the day we’d all be able to explore
the world again. I can’t describe how much joy it’s brought me to see people
reconnect with travel—it’s like the world has come alive again.
For me, travel is so
much more than booking flights and hotels. It’s about connecting people to new
places, cultures, and experiences. It’s about creating memories that stay with
you forever. My clients often say I bring passion and a personal touch to every
journey, and that’s because I see travel as a story we write together.
So, whether you’re
planning your first trip or your next big adventure, I’m here to guide you,
inspire you, and make every step of your journey seamless and exciting. Let’s
turn your travel dreams into memories you’ll cherish forever.
I can’t wait to help you write your next travel story. Let’s make it unforgettable.
Kate
