Travel has always ignited a deep passion within me. I’ve been incredibly fortunate to wander across distant lands and hidden gems, and my longing to explore continues to grow with every trip. After my time working in Florida, I've returned to the U.S. multiple times, and Philadelphia holds a special place in my heart—alive with history, bursting with vibrant culture, and so wonderfully easy to discover.

My journeys have taken me to London, Egypt, Jordan, and more recently, I’ve embraced the joy of exploring closer to home. I’ve been captivated by the awe-inspiring landscapes of Uluru and the Red Centre and mesmerized by the beauty of Heron Island in the southern reaches of the Great Barrier Reef. I’ve also fallen in love with the energetic pulse of Sydney and the breathtaking northwestern wonders of Tasmania—visiting Launceston, Cradle Mountain (even in summer, don’t forget your coat—the cold can surprise you), and Strahan.

As the dedicated Australia and Pacific specialist at our office, these adventures have not only broadened my horizons but have fuelled my passion to share these incredible experiences with others. I eagerly look forward to discovering more extraordinary destinations, immersing myself in diverse cultures, and creating unforgettable memories—wholeheartedly sharing that joy and passion with everyone I meet!

What truly sets me apart is that I believe in creating travel experiences as unique as you are. I take the time to understand your preferences, your dreams, and even those little quirks that make your ideal trip special. 

It’s not just about booking flights and hotels; it’s finding that hidden gem of a restaurant in Barcelona or securing the best view of the Pyramids in Egypt, I’m committed to delivering experiences that go beyond the ordinary. 

I also pride myself on being incredibly accessible and responsive. If a last-minute change or unexpected challenge arises, I’m just a phone call or message away, ready to jump in and ensure everything goes smoothly. 

My goal is to make every moment of your trip memorable, stress-free, and tailored just for you.

I am delighted to share the exciting news of my return to House of Travel after a brief break from the travel industry. I am thrilled to continue my travel career, which spans over 17 years. It all began when I entered the industry as a travel consultant and eventually progressed to assistant office manager. I developed a strong fascination with the wholesale operation, which inspired me to delve deeper into that specific aspect of the business. 

This experience further ignited my desire to embark on my second Overseas Experience (O.E.) As a result, I left New Zealand and had the opportunity to work as a travel agent in both Australia and Ireland. Upon my return to New Zealand, I seized a valuable position as a sales representative for Malaysian Airlines before finally joining House of Travel at the beginning of 2017.

During my travels, I have been fortunate to explore 18 countries, and among them, Hawaii holds a special place as one of my favorite destinations. Exploring the Waikele premium outlets, basking in the sun on beautiful beaches, snorkelling with turtles along the Maui coastline, and embarking on the exhilarating Haleakala Zipline adventure—this destination offers the perfect all-in-one holiday experience for me.

Cruising, indulging in luxury travel, and enjoying beach breaks are my passions, although I am not averse to a touch of adventure. Witnessing the awe-inspiring Chichen Itza Mayan ruins in Mexico and conquering the ascent of Mount Kinabalu in Sabah were both remarkable personal achievements.

One of the most fulfilling aspects of my profession is assisting clients in creating their ideal travel experiences. I take great pleasure in hearing about their favorite moments and highlights upon their return.

Having worked in the industry for over 30 years I still thrive on the excitement that builds as I help plan travel adventures both for my clients and of course myself.  

Hearing the anecdotes and stories on your return home continues to feed my wanderlust passion. I love the challenge of a tricky flight itinerary, and travel destinations of the beaten track.

My passion for exploration and dedication to service will ensure you experience your dream holiday.
