Born in France, I moved to New Zealand in 2019.
Passionate in travel, I explored Europe from a young age, then decided to go a bit further with my backpack, first in Vietnam for a month, then in New Zealand for a year (that is when I fell in love with Aotearoa).
I started to work in the travel industry by organising safari trips in Tanzania, where I went several times as a tour leader.
Discovering new places, countries, cultures is an amazing way to create memories, that is why I love helping clients to organise their holiday.
There is nothing more satisfying to me than a client popping in store after their journey to tell me all about the adventures they've had.

Experiencing travel through the eyes of my daughter, has given me a whole new perspective and thirst for travel.
It enables me to slow my pace, look around and just enjoy being in the moment as she interacts with local people.
It brings back that feeling I had when I first travelled overseas, and I feel so grateful to be able to experience something so meaningful and life changing with my daughter.

My love for travel
kicked off early, I entered the industry at 19 and have been lucky enough to
turn that passion into a career. I’ve explored over 45 countries and
experienced travel in just about every way imaginable: solo adventures, OEs,
family holidays, cruises, group tours, and everything in between.
Having lived in several
countries, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for the diversity of travel and
how personal each journey can be. I truly believe the best holidays start with
thoughtful planning, and I love helping others turn their travel dreams into
reality.
I bring a mix of energy, enthusiasm, and people-focused leadership to my role. I’m a bubbly, approachable personality who thrives on connecting with others, but I’m also highly organised and passionate about ensuring everything runs smoothly behind the scenes.
