Marvel at the Northern Lights from your glass igloo
Europe, Finland
Scientists are predicting 2025 will bring the best Northern Lights display in 20 years! Located in Finland’s Lapland region, we all know who the most famous resident here is, and we’d put money on Santa spending most of his downtime at an igloo resort!
These snow-tucked hotels boast multiple glass igloos and will be the perfect place to witness the aurora borealis. Accommodating between two and four guests, a domed thermal glass design and zero WiFi, these igloos allow you to take a cosy digital detox beneath a fluttering of snow and the best starlit sky in Europe. Marbling the sky from August through to late April, for a once-in-a-lifetime auroras experience, book an igloo stay.

Travel has always been more than just getting from A to B for me. I love helping clients create holidays that truly suit them, from relaxing escapes, a seamless getaway or a one-in-a-lifetime adventure. Known for being organised, responsive and honest, I enjoy sharing practical travel knowledge that takes the stress out of planning and leaves clients excited for what's ahead.

Travel -it broadens our views, creates lasting memories and allows you to take a break from your ordinary.
During my career, I have hit some ultimate highs- being the only New Zealand finalist in the prestigious Avis Travel Scholarship in 2019, winning the CLIA Rising Star award in 2020, being a finalist for the House of Travel Rookie of the Year in 2020 (not awarded to anyone due to COVID), multiple internal sales awards and of course getting to see some amazing countries through travel adventures.
In recent years, I have taken to much more off the beaten track travel, exploring Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan, Vietnam, Sri Lanka and China and a epic three-week safari through Zimbabwe, Namibia, Botswana and South Africa.
Although I did sneak in a wee three-week coach trip in Europe as well-we all need some creature comforts!
I have loved travelling with my family and seeing my teenage girls' minds blown by the experiences they have in different countries- different ways of living, different foods, different cultures, amazing sites (and sights!) and really seeing what is important to other people outside of NZ.
I now work from home but venture into the office regularly to see clients (by appointment only). I do love a good face to face catch up!
I would love to hear what adventures you have planned, whether close to home or somewhere in the weird and wonderful, and love helping pull things together to give you your Best Holiday Ever. Give me a call or send me an email to get started on your journey. I look forward to meeting you!
