Always with a smile I will be just as excited and passionate about your future adventures as you are! Originally from the UK I've spent the last 10 years travelling around the globe before finally settling in heavenly New Zealand.

Here I've turned the joy of travel into a profession I love. I enjoy nature, the beach, spending time with loved ones and exploring new places especially on the open road or by cruise.

I believe the biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams!

To me, traveling is so much more than a simple trip or relaxing vacation; it is a journey that always leaves me transformed and forever changed by the experiences presented. I have had the pleasure of visiting too many countries to count from backpacking on a shoestring budget around Asia to going all out on a private luxury adventure filled holidays such as trekking Machu Pichu! 

My firsthand recommendations will ensure that your destination choices, no matter how uncommon, are always extraordinary. No matter what you are looking for, whether it’s a bucket list adventure or something that completely takes you off the grid, you can count on me to open doors to the most exceptional experiences and enhance every travel adventure.

Having been with House of Travel for 13 years I really enjoy how even after all this time every day is different. I can still find new destinations to learn about and expand on my knowledge through travel I have booked. Hearing about how my client’s travels went and what they experienced is always a highlight!

I encourage clients to keep in touch throughout their trip as I love receiving a photo now and then to see where their adventures are taking them. To me it's not just a holiday or a travel experience we are booking, it's memories we are helping create that will last you a lifetime.

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So, throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain.

So don't wait, get in touch to plan your next big adventure today!

Thailand FAQs

What is the best time to visit Thailand?
Phuket is November to March - pleasant weather with lower humidity, ideal for exploring beaches, cities, and cultural sites. But if you want to get better value for money, then travel between May – October.  
However, if it’s Koh Samui you’re interested in, you can travel year around, but a Top Tip -if you aren’t a fan of the crowds avoid October- November as it’s the raining season and try to avoid local holidays like Songkran (water festival) where there is a lot of local / domestic travel.

When you should go really depends on your preference and plans. The cooler season is the most popular, the hot season is the hottest and most festive, and the rainy season is the wettest and therefore tends to be the least crowded. Talk to one of our consultants and we can create you a trip that is perfect for what you need


Where to go on holiday in Thailand?

Can I use New Zealand dollars in Thailand?
No, you will need to exchange your New Zealand dollars (NZD) for Thai baht (THB). Currency exchange services are available at airports, banks, and exchange bureaus. Credit and debit cards are widely accepted in major tourist areas.

What are some of the best street foods to try in Thailand?
Thailand is famous for its street food culture, where you can find a variety of mouth-watering dishes at cheap prices. 
Some of the most popular, must try street foods are pad thai (stir-fried noodles), som tam (spicy green papaya salad), khao niao mamuang (sticky rice with mango), tom yum (hot and sour soup).  

What are some of the cultural dos and don'ts in Thailand?
Thailand is a country with a rich and diverse culture, and it is important to respect its traditions and customs. Some of the dos and don'ts are: 
- do greet people with a wai (a slight bow with palms pressed together), 
- do dress modestly and cover your shoulders and knees when visiting temples, 
- do remove your shoes before entering a house or a temple, 
- don't touch a child’s head.   

What are some family-friendly activities in Thailand?
Depending on where you are heading there is a huge variety of activities to keep everyone entertained.  Visit the water parks, kayaking in the ocean or hire a long tail boat to a private island.  Or for something special, we recommend the Elephant Hills rainforest camp in Khao Sok National Park. Stay in luxury tented accommodation and enjoy activities like jungle treks, canoeing, and ethical elephant encounters.
