Why I Love Travel
The places I see and the people I meet—travel truly is the best way to broaden the mind. It allows you to experience and learn from different cultures and walks of life. Life is short; travel often.
My Travel Tips
- If you are always early, you are never late.
- Pre-book as much as possible before departure and schedule rest days on longer trips.
- Live courageously—100% of the opportunities you don’t take are missed.
My Top Three Favourite Destinations
Italy
The food, history, people, dramatic coastlines, and mountains—Italy deserves a place on everyone’s bucket list.
USA
With its extraordinary diversity of cultures and experiences, you could spend a lifetime exploring the United States and still not see it all.
Patagonia
Challenging to reach, but the dramatic landscapes that greet you make every moment of the journey worthwhile.
What’s in My Suitcase
- Kindle / E-reader – Lightweight, easy to pack, and long-lasting battery life; an essential on every trip.
- Noise-cancelling headphones – Ideal for busy airports and long-haul flights.
- Travel plug adapter – Easy to forget, but absolutely essential.

Pauline Gooding
House of Travel Te Awamutu
My first big trip was off to Camp America many years ago. As soon as I stepped foot on the first big international plane, the travel bug bit me and I never wanted to stop! Eventually I had to get a "real job" and what better job than as a travel agent.
Since then I've enjoyed sending many more people on their first big exciting trip overseas, on family holidays, honeymoons, reunions, road trips, girls trips and any other reason you can think of for travel!

With over 26 years in various roles in the travel industry, Louise's international knowledge and experience is wide-ranging and her logistical and organizational skills are exceptional.
Louise loves being able to create packages and experiences for clients and then deliver them onsite to see them enjoying the experiences beyond their expectations. Louise has been a part of the team that have taken New Zealand Supporters to multiple Commonwealth Games and Olympics along with Rugby and Netball World Cups.
While sports travel is still Louie's first love, over the past three years she has worked more in our Conference Management side of HOT Events. Working alongside the team in managing corporate conferences covering all aspects from destination research and contracting, through to registration administration and onsite event management.
When not talking sport at the desk, Louise is off being active - taking her two dogs (and husband) for long walks and runs in the stunning hills around Christchurch.
