Canal boating along the Canal du Midi
France, Europe
No prior boating experience necessary, just bring your sense of adventure! A great way to share quality family (an extended family) time as you slowly meander (between 8-10 miles an hour) along the canals, navigating locks, stopping to explore quaint villages, castles and châteaux - you might even find a Michelin star restaurant a short stroll from dock! Toulouse is often referred to as ‘Paris in miniature,’ a maze-like city and a great place to start your canal boating adventure. Overflowing with art galleries and excellent food, make sure you shop for a picnic of local produce at Marche Victor Hugo or grab a cassoulet lunch in an eatery above the covered market before you set off. The 9 locks of Fonseranes (also known as the Octuple) in Beziers is a Canal du Midi must do and a great way to end your canal boating journey!

As the saying goes, “Travel
is the only thing you buy that makes you richer.” I feel incredibly fortunate
to turn that truth into a career, helping others explore the world and enrich
their lives through unforgettable journeys.
I have been privileged to travel extensively, immersing myself in diverse
cultures, iconic landmarks, and off-the-beaten-path adventures that continue to
inspire and energize me.
Growing up in South Africa gave me the unique opportunity to experience my own
“backyard” for nearly 40 years. The breathtaking nature of Africa will always
hold a special place in my heart.
My travels across the UK, Spain, Greece, Turkey, and other European cities have
deepened my appreciation for history and culture.
The perfect holiday for me is anywhere spent with my husband and our amazing
daughters. As a family, we tend to gravitate towards island destinations
because they offer something for everyone. I have been fortunate to visit many
beautiful islands, with my top four being the Cayman Islands, Madagascar, Fiji,
and the Seychelles.
With 20 years of professional experience in the travel industry in South Africa
where I specialized in Corporate, Group, and Incentive Travel. One of the
proudest moment of my career was being named the ASATA (Association of Southern
African Travel Agents) Corporate Consultant of the Year for 2013.
Now, I’m thrilled to bring my skills and knowledge to the New Zealand travel
industry—especially here at House of Travel Rotorua. My rapid response time,
attention to detail, and systematic approach will save you stress and time.
Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, a multi-generational family trip,
business travel, or a school tour group, I am here to personalise any itinerary
to fit your needs.
So don’t delay—get in touch today and let me make YOUR travel dreams a reality!
Yours in travel,

Having been in the travel industry for 14 years, it's safe to say travel
is my biggest passion. I love turning up somewhere not knowing what to expect
and being delighted by both the differences in culture, cuisine and customs.
Part way through my career I took a year off and spent this travelling
extensively through central America, Asia and Europe. I'm now fortunate enough
to be able to pass on the knowledge I've gained over the years and work with my
clients to bring their travel dreams to fruition.
