For over 20 years, I’ve had the incredible privilege of helping people explore the world. From weekend getaways to once-in-a-lifetime journeys, I’ve sent travelers to every corner of the globe—each trip teaching me something new and deepening my passion for travel planning.
What I love most is working with people to craft experiences that go far beyond just itineraries and bookings. Whether it’s a romantic escape, a family adventure, a cultural deep dive, or a soul-searching solo trip, I take the time to understand what matters most to you. Together, we create meaningful, memorable journeys that you’ll carry with you for a lifetime.
In the past few years, the travel landscape has changed dramatically. Flight disruptions, evolving health regulations, and new requirements have made things more complicated than ever. But with experience comes adaptability. We've become experts at staying ahead of the curve—navigating changes with confidence, keeping you informed, and ensuring your plans stay on track no matter what.
My goal is simple: to take the stress out of travel so you can focus on the joy of discovery. From the moment we start planning to the moment you return home, I’m here to make your experience smooth, enjoyable, and truly unforgettable.
Travel might be more complex today—but that’s exactly why having someone in your corner makes all the difference. Let’s plan something amazing.

Travel really is my passion and I perhaps love organising it just as much as the actual travelling. Being able to open up options for people they had no idea they could accomplish is truly exciting. I love the scope of what we can accomplish as a travel agent; our systems, knowledge and relationships with the right people all add up to being able to organise a truly memorable trip. I’ve done it all from tours, safaris, ocean and river cruises, adventure travel, self-drives, rail journeys, family travel specialising in all things Disney and I love to share my knowledge to help you achieve the trip of your lifetime.
Outside of the office I like to spend my time skiing, horse riding, tramping, scuba diving, getting outside on our lifestyle block with my two little girls or enjoying a glass of pinot with a side order of chocolate mousse.

Why I love travel?
Travel gives us our greatest stories, our most cherished memories and countless irreplaceable learnings that we can choose to pay forward to others. It teaches us about ourselves and each other, it broadens our horizons and, just like a reset button, it forces us to refocus on what really matters.
My travel tips:
- Pack your patient pants; Don’t sweat the stuff you can’t control. Your trip is
much too short to stress. Did you miss your bus? No worries, there will be
another one.. ATM out of
money? Great! Take an unplanned road trip over to the next town and
explore. I know it can be hard sometimes, but just
take a deep breath and remind yourself that it could be worse.
- Focus on value over
deals. It’s so easy to not look past the initial $ signs when organising
your trip but how much extra will there be in added costs once you are at
your destination, lost time or enjoyment is that initial saving really
going to cost you once you are there.
- Wake Up Early To Avoid Crowds. Rise before sunrise to have the best attractions all to yourself while avoiding large tourist crowds. It’s also a magical time for photos due to the softer light and often providing great opportunities to interact with locals getting ready for their day. Sketchy areas are less dangerous in the morning too. Honest hardworking people wake up early; scammers and criminals sleep in…
My top 5 favourite destinations:
- Rio
De Janeiro – Such an incredibly vibrant city. Imagine, having dinner in a
local favela, no other tourists in sight and locals from ages 1-99 all
together, laughing, dancing to the live music, everyone talking to
everyone. A local group of young people came down the street performing
the traditional capoeira martial art/dance and everyone heads outside to
watch and cheer them on. It is always the people that make the place and
Brazil’s people are very bit as colourful as this amazing city.
- Europe
River cruise – A true holiday. Pull up each day in a different location,
right in the heart of things, wander off the boat and go for it. Return
when you feel like it to every luxury you could want, top class food and
drink and every room has a front row view. No crowds, most ships have
under 200 passengers and a great option for both first time travellers and
more experienced as you tend to visit many of the smaller and often less
visited towns.
- Rocky
Mountaineer train journey – Starting in Banff, which really feels like the
Queenstown of Canada and ending in Vancouver, a stunning city just a few
minutes’ drive and from the beautiful redwood forests this train journey
is must do travel experience. Seeing the spectacular scenery of the
Rockies from the comfort of your warmed up spacious leather seat, the
mountains are not just to either side but also above you through the glass
roof of the train.
- Borneo
– Here you can combine stunningly beautiful beach resorts with a visit to
the jungle; see the Proboscis monkeys, baby turtles being released into
the ocean and one of the only places in the world to see Orangutans in
their native habitat. One of the least explored areas on the planet with
many adventures to be had but you don’t need to skimp on luxury.
- East Africa Safari – It is a strangely exciting experience to be told not to wander too far from your tent at night because wild animals are really all around you. From elephants wandering through our camp one evening, to hearing bison grazing in the grass around us while sleeping, Africa really is as wild as you hope it will be. So many travel experiences these days are replicas – shows put together for your enjoyment. Africa definitely is not; it could not get much more real. Seeing orphaned baby elephants playing football with each other, wandering over to you reaching out their trunk so smell you as you stand behind only a rope fence watching their antics is just one of the incredible experiences on offer in this amazing location.
What’s in my suitcase?
- A
dog bed. I kid you not. These days I’m travelling with two little ones in
tow and as strange as this sounds it’s a life saver on long haul
flights-pair it with one of those big inflatable pillows that go where
your legs usually do and you have a comfortable bed for the little ones to
curl up in.
- A
dirty laundry bag. One easy spot to place all the worn things and easy to
take to the laundry with you while travelling or dump in the machine when
home.
- Earplugs. I need a good nights sleep be ready to do everything I have planned for the next day on my holiday and you just never know what noises you might want to shut out while travelling.

FAQS
What is the best time to visit Bali?
Anytime is a good time to go to Bali, but we recommend April to October, where the temperatures average 30+ degrees and there’s less humidity. Australian school holidays are always busy so if you don’t have to travel when ‘schools out’, be sure to check your dates. Bali does have both a wet and dry seasons: typically, dry season is April to September, wet season runs from October to March, where you can expect a downpour every day, however it’s unlikely to last long. Air New Zealand operates direct flights from Auckland year around making Bali an easy holiday option for Kiwis.
Where to go on holiday in Bali?
Bali offers an array of beach options including Legian and Seminyak both great for dining. Or visit Sanur, this was originally a fishing village but now you can soak up the charm along the beachfront boardwalk. Visit Ubud for cultural experiences, wellness and adventure or head to Nusa Dua for luxury resorts. Don’t miss the beautiful temples like Tanah Lot and Uluwatu. If you're planning a holiday in Bali, explore our Bali travel guide and find out how to make the most of your time on your beach holiday.
How to find the best holiday package to Bali?
We've got that covered for you! Visit our Bali deals section on website or sign up to get the hottest deals sent straight to your emails here.
Where to stay in Bali?
Bali has something for everyone, travelling in a group…choose a villa, if you’re a foodie head to Seminayk, or a hard-core surfer? - catch a wave in Uluwatu. Bali has accommodation options for every budget, taste and style. Bali is a perfect break for people who want a relaxing, well-being break or an adventure-filled escape with amazing nightlife, good food and a touch of culture.
What should I pack for my trip to Bali?
Don’t leave home without your sunscreen! You’ll be spending a lot of time outdoors and a happy traveller is one that isn’t bright red!
Insect repellent should also be packed plus a few other essentials.
Don’t forget your power adapter & chargers either!
Bring enough cash to see you through the first few days.
There are numerous ATM’s in the main beach areas so accessing money is not a problem.
Let your bank know you’re travelling to Bali too, so they will be aware in advance of any international transactions.
What to wear?
Light clothing is best, but if you are heading to a temple, respect their culture.
Do I need travel insurance for Bali?
Yes, it is highly recommended to have travel insurance for your trip to Bali. We offer a range of travel insurance options suitable for travel to Bali. Find more information on our website.
Can I use New Zealand dollars in Bali?
No, you will need to exchange your New Zealand dollars (NZD) for Indonesian rupiah (IDR). Currency exchange services are available at airports, banks, and exchange bureaus. Credit and debit cards are widely accepted in tourist areas.
How to get around in Bali?
Once you’ve arrived in Bali, we recommend having an organised transfer with guide waiting for you when you clear customs. Once settled in at your accommodation, beating the feet for a short walk is a good way to get your bearings.
Download the ‘GRAB’ app or locally they have ‘GOJEK’ to get around (similar to Uber).
If your holiday entails more than days at the beach and you want to explore more, consider hiring a driver. It starts from as little as $60 per day and is a smart idea. You get driven from door-to-door and can sit back and absorb all the highlights. Your driver will take you to sites you might not have found yourself, and you’ll get insider’s knowledge from a genuine local.
When planning your adventures, be prepared, traffic can be heavy so when making plans, always add in some extra time to get there.
What are some of the cultural dos and don'ts in Bali?
Bali is a fairly relaxed place, and many locals are used to the number of tourists that visit annually. Remember that bartering is mostly only accepted at markets and street stalls and won’t be well received in malls or boutiques. Tipping is not essential but welcomed.
Remember, If visiting a place of worship or a temple, you will need to be well covered. Many temples open for tourists do provide clothing to be worn before you enter the temple surrounds, and shoes may also need to be removed at some places.
What are some family-friendly activities in Bali?
Bali is a great family destination with a large range of fun activities. A lot of the resorts are family friendly with big pools, kids’ clubs and a lot to keep them occupied. Visit Waterbom Bali in Kuta for extreme water slides and a fun filled day for kids of all ages. It’s guaranteed to provide hours of entertainment and fun for all.
