Having worked in the Travel Industry for 9 years and counting, I am incredibly passionate about detail and no trip is too small!

I have lived in London & Perth, both opening destinations for me to explore! My favourite trips to date were Greece and Thailand. 

Every part of the process excites me, from simple flights, group holidays, to your bucket list trips! 

I enjoy getting to know my clients and I understand that no detail is too small and warm prompt service is key to delivering great customer experiences.

Lovely to meet you! My love for travel began early—at 19, I left New Zealand with a one-way ticket to London to start my OE, and I’ve never looked back. I spent eight years living overseas, including four incredible years in London, where I explored Europe extensively. (Barcelona still has my heart!)

I began my travel career in Melbourne in 2004, and I knew I’d found my dream job. Even now, I still smile every day coming to work—I truly LOVE what I do.

Helping clients plan their adventures brings me so much joy. I specialise in point-to-point Europe itineraries, and I’m especially passionate about tours and cruising. Whether it’s your first trip or your tenth, I’m here to make your journey smooth, exciting, and unforgettable from start to finish.

I’m known for being friendly, bubbly, and a great listener. I’ll take the time to understand your needs and offer thoughtful advice and suggestions to make your trip the best it can be.

Now based on a dairy farm in Reporoa with my husband and our three young children, I understand the #mumlife juggle—and the importance of taking time out for a well-earned holiday! Having travelled to over 40 countries, I can’t wait to share my experience with you.

Quote: “Never pass up a bathroom”

About me: With over 2 years of solo travel across 40+ countries, I am passionate about immersing myself in new cultures and uncovering the unique experiences each destination has to offer. Fluent in Spanish, Latin America is my particular area of experience and expertise. Whether you're after an exciting adventure or a peaceful getaway, I’m committed to designing a memorable and seamless trip tailored specifically to you. 

Why I love travel: It allows me to escape the sometimes repetitive nature of daily life. I enjoy experiencing new places or returning to ones that I love. I like making connections with people from places around the world and having experiences that can’t be replicated.

My travel tips:

  • Meet the locals Almost all of my favourite and most cherished travel experiences have involved meeting and making friends with the local people. It is a sure-fire way to have a more unique and intimate holiday experience.
  • When in Rome A cliché but one to that will enrich your travel, observe how the locals live and learn from it. Try the local brew or dish, join in on the fun. Also respect local customs and traditions, this will allow a richer and safer experience.
  • Expect the unexpected- Be ready for unforeseen circumstances that will inevitably occur at some point during a trip. If you are expectant and prepared for troublesome scenarios you can save yourself a lot of grief. After all, you want to make your break from reality as stress free as possible.

My top 3 favourite destinations:

  • Colombia- An up and coming travel destination, a country cursed with the reputation earned from its past. It is extremely geographically diverse and amazing bang for your buck. I still haven’t found a country with warmer and friendlier people.
  • Spain- A country full of amazing destinations to discover, with a rich history and a world class gastronomical scene. The fun loving people, the nightlife and the picturesque towns with uniquely their Spanish architecture are a must experience.
  • Mexico- Mexico is a country which is truly fascinating, an amazing place to get to know. It’s a big country with lots to explore - like the US it is made up of states (32), the more you see the more you’ll want to see. It is full of the most beautiful places you’ve never heard of. The locals are extremely friendly and of course the cuisine one of the best and most famous on the globe.

What’s in my suitcase:

  • Spare phone, cables and a travel adaptor- Fact is electronics are a very important travel tool and to be prepared is important so you don’t have to go in the dark.
  • A Journal- A great way to record all the little details and memorable moments. When moving fast and or experiencing a lot we naturally forget things. Writing it down will help to recall in future and also to have what you’ve written forever is something special.
  • Travel cubes- Will help you to keep your suitcase nice and organised for easy packing and ultimately will save you time making things easier to find.

My most memorable travel stories:

  • Walking the Camino de Santiago in Spain together with part of the Camino Portugues from Lisbon to Porto – totalling 1200kms. My hiking shoes broke so I did the last 1000kms in Sandals.
  • Doing a 32 day Top Deck bus tour around Europe. Easily one of the best months of my life full of laughs and all round good times. I made some strong friendships and saw a lot in such a short space of time.

FAQS

What is the best time to visit Bali? 
Anytime is a good time to go to Bali, but we recommend April to October, where the temperatures average 30+ degrees and there’s less humidity. Australian school holidays are always busy so if you don’t have to travel when ‘schools out’, be sure to check your dates. Bali does have both a wet and dry seasons: typically, dry season is April to September, wet season runs from October to March, where you can expect a downpour every day, however it’s unlikely to last long. Air New Zealand operates direct flights from Auckland year around making Bali an easy holiday option for Kiwis.

Where to go on holiday in Bali? 
Bali offers an array of beach options including Legian and Seminyak both great for dining.  Or visit Sanur, this was originally a fishing village but now you can soak up the charm along the beachfront boardwalk.   Visit Ubud for cultural experiences, wellness and adventure or head to Nusa Dua for luxury resorts. Don’t miss the beautiful temples like Tanah Lot and Uluwatu. If you're planning a holiday in Bali, explore our Bali travel guide and find out how to make the most of your time on your beach holiday.

Where to stay in Bali? 
Bali has something for everyone, travelling in a group…choose a villa, if you’re a foodie head to Seminayk, or a hard-core surfer? - catch a wave in Uluwatu.  Bali has accommodation options for every budget, taste and style. Bali is a perfect break for people who want a relaxing, well-being break or an adventure-filled escape with amazing nightlife, good food and a touch of culture.  

What should I pack for my trip to Bali?
Don’t leave home without your sunscreen! You’ll be spending a lot of time outdoors and a happy traveller is one that isn’t bright red!

Insect repellent should also be packed plus a few other essentials.

Don’t forget your power adapter & chargers either!

Bring enough cash to see you through the first few days.

There are numerous ATM’s in the main beach areas so accessing money is not a problem. 

Let your bank know you’re travelling to Bali too, so they will be aware in advance of any international transactions.

What to wear?
Light clothing is best, but if you are heading to a temple, respect their culture.

Do I need travel insurance for Bali?
Yes, it is highly recommended to have travel insurance for your trip to Bali. We offer a range of travel insurance options suitable for travel to Bali. Find more information on our website.  

Can I use New Zealand dollars in Bali?
No, you will need to exchange your New Zealand dollars (NZD) for Indonesian rupiah (IDR). Currency exchange services are available at airports, banks, and exchange bureaus. Credit and debit cards are widely accepted in tourist areas.

How to get around in Bali?
Once you’ve arrived in Bali, we recommend having an organised transfer with guide waiting for you when you clear customs. Once settled in at your accommodation, beating the feet for a short walk is a good way to get your bearings. 
Download the ‘GRAB’ app or locally they have ‘GOJEK’ to get around (similar to Uber).  

If your holiday entails more than days at the beach and you want to explore more, consider hiring a driver. It starts from as little as $60 per day and is a smart idea. You get driven from door-to-door and can sit back and absorb all the highlights. Your driver will take you to sites you might not have found yourself, and you’ll get insider’s knowledge from a genuine local. 
When planning your adventures, be prepared, traffic can be heavy so when making plans, always add in some extra time to get there.

What are some of the cultural dos and don'ts in Bali?
Bali is a fairly relaxed place, and many locals are used to the number of tourists that visit annually. Remember that bartering is mostly only accepted at markets and street stalls and won’t be well received in malls or boutiques. Tipping is not essential but welcomed. 
Remember, If visiting a place of worship or a temple, you will need to be well covered. Many temples open for tourists do provide clothing to be worn before you enter the temple surrounds, and shoes may also need to be removed at some places.

What are some family-friendly activities in Bali?
Bali is a great family destination with a large range of fun activities.  A lot of the resorts are family friendly with big pools, kids’ clubs and a lot to keep them occupied.  Visit Waterbom Bali in Kuta for extreme water slides and a fun filled day for kids of all ages.  It’s guaranteed to provide hours of entertainment and fun for all.
