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!

Travel ignites the fire in my belly, daily and I'm lucky enough to turn holiday dreams into unforgettable experiences.

I specialise in family travel, group getaways, solo adventures, and special interest trips, helping clients craft memories that last a lifetime.

A recent highlight was travelling to New York with my sister, followed by Japan, and a Christmas in Bali with my family.

Whether I'm working with long-time clients or meeting new faces each week, I'm always excited to bring personalised travel dreams to life.

Passionate about what I do, I'm always ready for the next adventure - both for my clients and my own family.

After more than 30 years selling travel, it still gives me such a buzz to create fabulous holidays. I love watching my clients' anticipation build, being part of the planning, sharing in the excitement of their journey - and of course hearing all about it when they return. It's almost as good as being on the trip with them!

Travel has changed a lot in recent years, and that's exactly why it pays to have an expert in your corner. As a senior, award-winning travel consultant at one of New Zealand's best-rated travel agencies, House of Travel The Crossing, I'm here to take the stress out, and the fun in!!

From complex airfares and cruise itineraries to boutique stays, family getaways and once-in-a-lifetime adventures, I'll help you navigate this new era of travel with confidence - keeping an eye on the details, the fine print, and the "what ifs", so you can focus on the excitement.

Let's create a holiday to remember - fabulous, seamless, and perfectly you.
