I offer seamless journeys where you can relax, unpack once, and enjoy everything from delicious food to top-notch entertainment. 

Some of the highlights of my travels include riding pillion along Route 66 on a Harley from Milwaukee to Santa Monica over 16 days, cruising the Danube on a Scenic River cruise, exploring England and Scotland, and an unforgettable trip to Cambodia to watch the sunrise over Angkor Wat.

As the saying goes, “Travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer.” I feel incredibly fortunate to turn that truth into a career, helping others explore the world and enrich their lives through unforgettable journeys.

I have been privileged to travel extensively, immersing myself in diverse cultures, iconic landmarks, and off-the-beaten-path adventures that continue to inspire and energize me.
Growing up in South Africa gave me the unique opportunity to experience my own “backyard” for nearly 40 years. The breathtaking nature of Africa will always hold a special place in my heart.
My travels across the UK, Spain, Greece, Turkey, and other European cities have deepened my appreciation for history and culture.
The perfect holiday for me is anywhere spent with my husband and our amazing daughters. As a family, we tend to gravitate towards island destinations because they offer something for everyone. I have been fortunate to visit many beautiful islands, with my top four being the Cayman Islands, Madagascar, Fiji, and the Seychelles.

With 20 years of professional experience in the travel industry in South Africa where I specialized in Corporate, Group, and Incentive Travel. One of the proudest moment of my career was being named the ASATA (Association of Southern African Travel Agents) Corporate Consultant of the Year for 2013.

Now, I’m thrilled to bring my skills and knowledge to the New Zealand travel industry—especially here at House of Travel Rotorua. My rapid response time, attention to detail, and systematic approach will save you stress and time. Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, a multi-generational family trip, business travel, or a school tour group, I am here to personalise any itinerary to fit your needs.
