Eat tapas like a local in Spain
Spain, Europe

Eating tapas in Spain is a social ritual and a ‘complete tapas experience’ involves hopping from bar to bar and enjoying a couple at each bar!
We recommend booking a tapas tour to help get your bearings, where a local guide will take you to a few of their favourite bars and show you how it’s done - then you’ll be set.
A few tips... keep your eye out for happy hours, each bar has a speciality dish, don’t order everything in the first bar and the best tapas bars are always crowded so pop into any lively looking place - Salud!

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,
Ang

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.
