Discover a different Australia

Indulge where Australia shines - the world’s outdoor restaurant. From the Hunter and Yarra Valleys to The Barossa and Margaret River, sip cool climate chardonnay, savour Tasmanian oysters, and dine at cellar door restaurants in historic vineyards.

For something truly unforgettable, step aboard the Q-Train – a moving restaurant journey along Victoria’s scenic Bellarine Peninsula, where regional flavours and panoramic views pair perfectly on the plate. Or dive into Melbourne’s buzzing laneways on a guided foodie tour, tasting your way through artisan coffee, multicultural bites, and hidden culinary gems.

 Every meal, a celebration of place and produce, is ready for you to taste.

House of Travel Devonport

I like to think of myself as a breath of fresh air in the travel industry. Having spent some time living in both the USA and the UK, my love for travel truly blossomed during that time. I firmly believe that exploring the world opens hearts and minds, offering lessons you can’t find anywhere else.

Organising travel might sound simple, but when you’re juggling five different airlines, hopping between continents, and coordinating an international cruise with visa requirements and embarkation rules to navigate, it can quickly become overwhelming. Lucky for you, I’ve got the expertise and experience to make the entire process smooth and stress-free, so you can focus on enjoying the journey.

For me, it’s all about you. Hearing about your dream adventures and helping turn them into reality is what makes my job so rewarding—it’s a privilege to be involved in such exciting moments. No dream is too big or too small! Whether it’s a luxurious journey through Asia, hopping across Europe’s hidden gems, a self-drive adventure in Australia, or cruising the stunning Baltics, any adventure has the potential to be truly magical.

If it’s on your bucket list, let’s make it happen—I’m here to listen and bring your vision to life!

Having a love of travel, I completed a Bachelor of International Tourism Management in 2013.

After a 6 month stint working at Walt Disney World in Florida I returned to NZ and started my career in the travel industry.

After three years I was feeling the itch to travel again so I decided to embark on my second OE and moved to the UK. Living and working there allowed me to travel Europe extensively and my favourite country to date would be Poland. I returned to NZ in 2020.
