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!

From the first travel I did as a teenager I have wanted to travel the world, experience the food, absorb the culture and learn the history!!!

I have always been passionate about creating the ultimate holidays and feel that makes me the best planner of your holidays that I can be!! 

I had been selling travel for over 20 years when I felt something else was needed and to the leap to be the retail manger of House of Travel Papamoa. I feel I have never looked back and enjoy leading a fantastic group of people!!

I love my job!!! I love the fact that no one holiday is ever the same and also thrive on a challenge of a complex itinerary, round the world flight or something out of the norm. 

I think the benefit you get with me is the experience I have had planning and travel and the places I have travelled. 

I have travelled extensively and in particular done a lot around New Zealand, Australia, South Pacific Islands, USA and Europe and find that travel opens your mind to another world full of new experiences, new tastes and an appreciation for life in general. 

I have a rule that every trip I do I need to pick one unique thing to do on holiday that is un-usual or you would not do on another holiday .... I have been hot air ballooning, have been on a segway tour, have helicoptered out to an island etc.

My Travel Tips

  • I am a bit of a IT geek so always travel with an adaptor that has USB ports for my IWatch, iPhone and iPad. 
  • Have a store of great apps that help with travel, packing, maps, closest toilet etc.!!
  • Always keep in touch with your travel agent so they can keep you up to date with deals that are out for your next holiday.
  • Cash passports are a MUST as safe and easy way to travel. 

The best holidays are definitely created together so would love to get you in for an appointment and have a discussion about your travel dreams.

I've always loved travelling because the world is filled with such incredible beauty, diversity and unforgettable experiences. My roots are in Switzerland, but my own travel story truly began with a life-changing trip to New Zealand - so it feels especially meaningful that I now get to call this amazing country home. Last year, I moved to New Zealand to be with my Kiwi partner, and I’ve loved discovering more of this beautiful corner of the world ever since.

To date, I’ve explored 56 countries across six continents, with only Antarctica left on my bucket list. I’m a curious, adventurous and active traveller who enjoys connecting with different cultures, uncovering history and soaking up the atmosphere of vibrant cities. From exploring Europe’s great capitals and finding hidden treasures on a scenic road trip to experiencing wildlife, landscapes and nature up close, I’m always excited about what’s next.

I’ve spent around 16 years working in the travel industry in a range of roles, but being a travel consultant is where I truly feel at home. It combines everything I enjoy most: travel, organisation, careful planning and above all, helping people bring their dream holidays to life. I’m passionate about creating personalised travel experiences that reflect each client’s interests, style and needs because every trip should feel unique.

Whether you’re dreaming of iconic European cities like London, Paris, Rome or Vienna, cruising the oceans or rivers of the world, relaxing on a tropical beach in Fiji or Rarotonga, road-tripping through Ireland, heading out on safari in South Africa, Namibia or Kenya or standing in awe at Angkor Wat in Cambodia - I’m here to help you plan it all.

Let’s create an unforgettable journey together.
