Dreaming of a white Christmas ... in Santa's Lapland

After more than 30 years in travel, I still genuinely love creating exceptional holidays for my clients. I love being part of the journey from the very beginning — building the anticipation, shaping the perfect itinerary, and then hearing all about your experiences when you return. It’s one of the most rewarding parts of what I do.

Travel has changed significantly over the years, which is why having an experienced consultant by your side has never been more valuable. As a senior, award-winning travel consultant with House of Travel The Crossing, I’m here to make the planning process smooth, enjoyable and completely tailored to you.

My recent travels to Europe and South Africa have brought even more firsthand insight and inspiration to the holidays I create, allowing me to share up-to-date recommendations and thoughtful advice based on personal experience. Whether you’re planning a luxury escape, a boutique journey, a cruise, a family holiday or a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, I’ll take care of every detail so you can feel confident, relaxed and excited about what’s ahead.

Let’s create a holiday that’s seamless, memorable and perfectly tailored to you.

As a 17 year old, I headed off to Finland on a student exchange  for a year, my first ever overseas trip and the  start of my passion for travel. 

Whether it’s a quick jaunt across the Tasman,  an adventure through Vietnam  or a guided coach tour of Europe, I love working with you to create the perfect holiday.

Having been in the industry for over 30 years,  I have an extensive knowledge of airfares, and travel providers, I combine that with the knowledge of my returning customers and the wisdom of the House of Travel collective to craft your travel.

There sure is a lot you need to know and I pride myself on keeping up to date with industry trends and changes. That may be new destinations to visit, beautiful places to stay or changes in travel  requirements.

So get in touch  and let me  help make your travel dreams come true.

As the proud Owner Operator of House of Travel Nelson, I lead a small but passionate team dedicated to taking care of all your travel needs.

I primarily work on the Orbit World Travel side of our business, specialising in business and group travel. But as a traveller myself, I love chatting with customers and the team about their upcoming adventures — there’s nothing better than sharing in the excitement of a great trip!

Travel has played a huge role in my life. From years of family holidays to the Gold Coast and Fiji, where the kids spent hours in the pool or on the playground, to unforgettable highlights like Disneyland (they were 10 and 12 — the perfect age!), followed by a relaxing week in Mexico. These days, with older kids, we’re seeking more adventure. Our recent trip to Vietnam was a standout — from the vibrant energy of Ho Chi Minh City to the peaceful beauty of Hoi An's lanterns and Halong Bay. If you haven’t been, it’s a must! 

Next on my list? Europe. While I’ve done a couple of quick trips in the past, I’m keen to take the time to explore the diverse cultures and rich history of the places I’ve spent years helping others discover.

Whether your trip is big or small, come in and see us at House of Travel Nelson — we’ll make sure it’s your best one yet.
