I believe that planning travel isn’t just about booking flights and hotels - it’s about creating memories that last a lifetime.
I’m not just here to book your flights and hotels - I’m here to turn your
travel dreams into something real, seamless, and extraordinary. I’ll take the
time to understand you – see what excites you, what comforts you, and what you
want out of every journey. My goal is to create experiences that feel perfectly
tailored to what you are after, never generic.
Having explored some of the world’s most incredible destinations, I love using
my firsthand experience to create holidays that truly suit you. Whether it’s
ticking off iconic landmarks, venturing off the beaten track, relaxing on a
luxury escape, setting sail on a river or ocean cruise, or planning the perfect
trip for couples, families, solo travellers or groups - I’m here to help bring
your next adventure to life.

Why a customer would choose me:
I'm honestly in my dream job - I get to combine my passion for travel with my love of organisation and planning. Travel has changed so much over the last few years and continues to do so, which means there are more details to consider than ever before.
It's so much fun getting to know my clients and helping them come up with the perfect itinerary. I can research to my heart's content and get into the nitty gritty to make sure your trip flows smoothly.
You just bring me your dream and we can build it together. Then leave me to focus on the details, so that you can relax and have your best adventure yet!
Meet Me:
I moved home to NZ in 2017 after living on the Sunshine Coast in Australia for ten years during my 20's (yes, I'd love to help you plan your next trip over there).
In the weekends I'm either reading a good book at home cuddled up with my rescue cats, or traipsing through the local forests - I'm not much of a city dweller if I can help it.
When it comes to travel, my attitude leans more towards 'go big or go home'. If I'm flying halfway around the world, you can bet that I'm going to make the most of it. I will bargain hunt my heart out so that I can fit in more days, more locations and more fun.
I mean, is there any better feeling in the world than standing somewhere you've never been before, experiencing new things, tasting new foods, meeting new people and just having the time of your life?

I have always been a lover of travel, family holidays as a child sparked my love of seeing the world. I was born in England, moving to New Zealand with my family at the age of six. Drawn to the outdoors and the natural beauty of the world, I enjoy nothing more than exploring new landscapes, immersing myself in local living or being a major tourist. Whether that’s wondering narrow streets, exploring a big city or lounging on a sun-soaked beach.
In addition to my knowledge of travel, I'm currently training to become a Contiki champ with a passion for adventure and a love of meeting new people, I am eager to help you plan your own exciting Contiki, Top Deck, G-adventures or Intrepid tour and create unforgettable memories.
I was fortunate enough to be sent to Disneyland California and loved every aspect of its adrenaline packed adventure. It is an unforgettable trip and I cant wait to help others book their magical Disney holidays.
With a passion for adventure and a keen eye for detail, I’m always on the lookout for hidden gems, unique experiences and trending destinations. Whether you're looking for a thrill-seeking adventure or a peaceful escape into nature, I have the drive to help you plan the trip of a lifetime.
