Our Latest Sunshine Coast Deals

For a long time, I've told people I have the best job in the world and I still stand by that. 

What could be better than turning peoples dreams into reality? I never know what the day will bring and isn't variety the spice of life? 

My travel journey started a bit later in my life, so I haven't been everywhere YET, but I am having a damn good crack at it, gathering local knowledge along the way.

Travel has been an integral part of my life for over 20 years, and I can't imagine pursuing anything else.  This year, I proudly celebrate my 17th year with House of Travel Papamoa, where I truly love being a 'hottie.' Our store boasts a fantastic team culture that makes coming to work a joyful experience every day.

I find immense satisfaction in crafting bespoke itineraries that transform my clients' dreams into reality.  While the USA remains my favourite destination, my travels have also taken me through the stunning landscapes of New Zealand, the enchanting South Pacific, vibrant Australia, diverse Europe, and picturesque Canada and Alaska. This year (2024), I had the incredible opportunity to experience the magic of South Africa, where witnessing wildlife in their natural habitat is nothing short of breath-taking. Being on safari brings you so close to majestic animals, just meters away, creating unforgettable memories. 

Remember, your holiday begins the moment you step through our door. I invite you to share your vision of the perfect getaway—how it looks and feels, any research you've conducted, and your essential must-haves. The more we delve into your aspirations together, the more extraordinary your holiday will be!

“I haven’t been everywhere but it’s on my list” has pretty much been my life motto since I was 14. I sold a motorbike I’d outgrown and used the money to book myself, as an unaccompanied minor, on a flight to Australia to visit family, and I’ve never really stopped travelling since.

In my early 20s I did the classic European OE, and what I love most is how my travel style has evolved with each stage of life. I’ve backpacked, joined coach tours, sailed on luxury cruises and stayed in five star chateaus with two Michelin star restaurants. Now, with two young children, I’m genuinely excited about the next chapter: beach resorts with brilliant kids clubs, multi generational escapes and, of course, the Disneyland years.

I’ve travelled extensively through the South Pacific, Europe and Asia, and I’ve spent 17 years in the travel industry, most of that time working in product. That behind the scenes experience means I know how to sort the genuinely great options from the glossy brochure fluff, and how to build itineraries that flow well in real life, not just on paper.

As a consultant, I am especially passionate about the South Pacific, road trips and multi generational travel. I love finding those little “in between” moments that become the stories you tell for years, like taking the slow roads instead of highways or exploring a new neighbourhood while the washing is spinning at a local laundromat. My goal is to design journeys that feel personal, well considered and fun, with a little bit of something for everyone who is coming along.

If you are looking for someone who understands how travel changes as life does, from solo adventures to family holidays and everything in between, I would love to help you plan your next chapter.

I have been lucky enough to have travelled to Rarotonga, Samoa and Australia (Gold Coast & Sydney) and have a vast knowledge of all of these fun places with my most favorite place being Rarotonga!

I thrive off Customer Satisfaction, seeing my customers walk out the door with their documents in hand and smiles on their faces excited to embark on their adventure fills me with immense joy. I cannot wait to help you plan and book your holiday!
