Flight time
The flight from Auckland to United Arab Emirates takes roughly 17 hours nonstop.
The seven United Arab Emirates seem to hold every experience you can imagine – and a few you’d never expect.
Wander through Dubai’s glittering souks and mega malls, explore Al Ain’s historic forts and desert oases, or lose yourself in the maze-like streets of old Sharjah – a UNESCO Cultural Capital. Marvel at the grandeur of Abu Dhabi’s Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, or head out on a 4WD safari across the golden dunes of the Empty Quarter.
Hike the mystical Hajar Mountains, kayak through Ajman’s mangroves, or stretch out on the white sands of Ras Al Khaimah. Prefer the coast? The serenity of Fujairah is pure magic.
Food lovers, get ready – from luxurious Emirati feasts to iconic street eats like shawarma, falafel and sweet luqaimat dumplings, you’ll be eating well all day (and night).
Whether you’re scaling the Burj Khalifa or star-gazing in the desert, every day in the UAE is a collision of adventure, culture and incredible flavour.

You know how some people collect handbags or shoes, well I have a love of collecting passport stamps! I developed a bit of a passion for adventure travel since working in the States at a summer camp in my early 20’s. I have travelled to over 40 countries, doing everything from eating scorpions in China, snorkelling the Silfra fissure in Iceland, to skydiving in Namibia.

I've always loved travelling because the world is filled with such incredible beauty, diversity and unforgettable experiences. My roots are in Switzerland, but my own travel story truly began with a life-changing trip to New Zealand - so it feels especially meaningful that I now get to call this amazing country home. Last year, I moved to New Zealand to be with my Kiwi partner, and I’ve loved discovering more of this beautiful corner of the world ever since.
To date, I’ve explored 56 countries across six continents, with only Antarctica left on my bucket list. I’m a curious, adventurous and active traveller who enjoys connecting with different cultures, uncovering history and soaking up the atmosphere of vibrant cities. From exploring Europe’s great capitals and finding hidden treasures on a scenic road trip to experiencing wildlife, landscapes and nature up close, I’m always excited about what’s next.
I’ve spent around 16 years working in the travel industry in a range of roles, but being a travel consultant is where I truly feel at home. It combines everything I enjoy most: travel, organisation, careful planning and above all, helping people bring their dream holidays to life. I’m passionate about creating personalised travel experiences that reflect each client’s interests, style and needs because every trip should feel unique.
Whether you’re dreaming of iconic European cities like London, Paris, Rome or Vienna, cruising the oceans or rivers of the world, relaxing on a tropical beach in Fiji or Rarotonga, road-tripping through Ireland, heading out on safari in South Africa, Namibia or Kenya or standing in awe at Angkor Wat in Cambodia - I’m here to help you plan it all.
Let’s create an unforgettable journey together.
