Lovely to meet you

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
