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.

Life is a collection of moments and memories.  

Both planning your travel and the journey itself should be enjoyable. I find joy in working with travellers to build holidays that are perfect for them.

My love for travel began early - at 19, I left New Zealand with a one-way ticket to London to start my OE, and I've never looked back. I spent eight years living overseas, including four incredible years in London, where I explored Europe extensively. (Barcelona still has my heart!) 

I began my travel career in Melbourne in 2004, and knew I'd found my dream career. Even know, I still smile every day coming to work - I truly LOVE what I do. 

I did step away from the travel industry for a few years to raise my family, but the pull of travel was simply too strong. Coming back confirmed what I already knew: there is nothing else I would rather be doing. No two days are ever the same, and helping to create someone's dream holiday is a true privilege. 

Helping clients plan their adventures brings me so much joy. I specialize in point-to-point Europe itineraries, and I'm especially passionate about tours and cruising. Whether you're planning a romantic escape, a multi-generational family holiday, a tailor-made Europe itinerary or a cruising holiday, I'll work with you to create a trip that fits within your budget and needs.

I pride myself on attention to detail and prompt turnaround times with my work. I believe I also go above and beyond for my clients - many now see me more as a friend, because we've built such strong relationships. Whether it's your first trip or your tenth, I'm here to make your journey smooth, exciting, and unforgettable from start to finish.

I'm known for being friendly, bubbly, and a great listener. I'll take the time to understand your needs and offer thoughtful advice and suggestions to make your trip the best it can be. 

I live on our dairy farm in Reporoa with my Husband Mathew and our three young children, who go to school in Rotorua. We are a busy sporting family, so I understand the #mumlife juggle and the importance of taking time out for a well-earned holiday, either as a family or for a lush couples' getaway! 

Some of our favourite family trips have been around Vietnam and to the theme parks on the Gold Coast, and next on our list with the kids Hawaii. For my husband and I, our favourite recent couples getaway trips were to Bali and Malaysia - beachfront cocktails, yes please! Next on our wish list is the Maldives, I have been there 20 years ago so I think it’s time we went back!

Don't just dream about it - lets start planning. Get in touch today and let me turn your travel dreams into your next boarding pass.

With over 28 years in the travel industry, I’ve been incredibly fortunate to explore some amazing corners of the world. Argentina, Costa Rica, Japan, Guatemala and Cambodia are just a few of the highlights — and my list of places still to experience continues to grow!

My next adventures are India and Bali — two destinations that weren’t even on my original bucket list, but ones I’m now incredibly excited to discover. I love that travel can surprise you and take you somewhere completely unexpected!

One of my recent adventures was a trip to the Champagne region with my sister. As wine lovers, it was truly a trip of a lifetime — filled with beautiful scenery, incredible experiences and, of course, plenty of wonderful Champagne! ??

I absolutely love working with my clients to bring their travel dreams to life. From the initial ideas and inspiration through to the finer details, I enjoy collaborating with you to create an adventure that feels uniquely yours.

And my favourite part? Catching up with my clients when they return home and hearing all about their adventures, the special moments and the memories they’ve made along the way.

For me, travel is about so much more than simply booking a holiday — it’s about creating experiences you’ll remember for a lifetime. ????
