Flight time
The flight from Auckland to South Korea takes roughly 12 hours nonstop. It's not short but once you get your K-culture fix you'll forget all about it.
Since Psy bounced onto our screens with Gangnam Style, the world’s been hooked on Korean culture. From K-dramas and K-pop to K-beauty and street eats, we’re officially obsessed. But a trip to South Korea offers all of that plus centuries of rich tradition and deep history – it’s the best of both worlds.
Wander the buzzing streets of Seoul, where high-tech towers hide hanok villages and secret teahouses. Shop everything from designer labels to quirky underground finds. Head south to Busan for sun-soaked beaches, street markets and seaside museums. Or hop on a slow train through the countryside and discover peaceful temples, UNESCO-listed villages and fields of cherry blossoms in spring.
And then there’s the food. From sizzling bulgogi and pillowy mandu dumplings to sweet-hot tteokbokki and crispy Korean fried chicken, good food – and good times – are never far away.

The flight from Auckland to South Korea takes roughly 12 hours nonstop. It's not short but once you get your K-culture fix you'll forget all about it.
The best time to visit South Korea is from March to May, when mild weather, cherry blossoms, and colourful festivals fill the Land. September to November is also pretty great.
South Korea is 3-4 hours behind New Zealand depending on Daylight Saving here. You won't take long to adjust.
Having been in the travel industry for 14 years, it's safe to say travel
is my biggest passion. I love turning up somewhere not knowing what to expect
and being delighted by both the differences in culture, cuisine and customs.
Part way through my career I took a year off and spent this travelling
extensively through central America, Asia and Europe. I'm now fortunate enough
to be able to pass on the knowledge I've gained over the years and work with my
clients to bring their travel dreams to fruition.

Travel fuels my soul, the experiences, the opportunities, the culture, the adventures, I have been lucky enough to have a career that is a labour of love. Planning holidays with a high degree of skill, attention and knowledge has become my trade mark.
I absolutely adore planning epic family trips, luxurious holidays alongside organizing a lot of corporate travel business as well. I also travel a lot, as often as I can so I have up to date first hand experience in so many areas. This has given me the skill and experience to share with my clients and ensure they also come away with travel experiences second to none. I work with a large referral business and I do require appointments to fully assess what is going to be right for you and start planning your holiday.

Having travelled extensively I thoroughly enjoy immersing myself in the rich culture of any country I am fortunate enough to visit. Travel is my passion and I love helping clients create an unforgettable experience that is uniquely their own.
I genuinely believe that travel is the only thing you can buy that makes you richer. I enjoy being part of each and every journey. No day is the same in the life of a travel consultant and I relish the challenge that this represents. I am flattered by the number of clients who have come back to me time and time again.
Having travelled to nearly 50 countries, my bucket list is still never ending. I have backpacked my way through the world in my youth as well as enjoying five star luxury in more recent times. I have definitely felt richer from each and every experience. Travel is a way of life, I love what I do and that passion and enthusiasm always translates into the work I put into my clients plans.
Travel -it broadens our
views, creates lasting memories and allows you to take a break from the
ordinary.
In recent years, I have taken to much more adventurous travel, heading to
Central Asia and exploring Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan, exploring much of
Vietnam, Sri Lanka and Shanghai and looking forward to our next adventures in
Africa.
I love travelling with my family and seeing my teenage girls minds blown by the
experiences they have in different countries - different ways of living,
different foods, different cultures, amazing sites (and sights!) and really
seeing what is important to other people outside of NZ.
I love hearing about the epic adventures people have planned and love helping
pull things together to give you your Best Holiday Ever. Give me a call or send
me an email to get started on your next journey.
