Only a two-and-a-half-hour flight from Auckland, New Caledonia effortlessly blends chic French sophistication with mellow South Pacific charm. Step off the plane and you'll instantly feel the allure.
Noumea, the stylish capital at the southern tip of Grande Terre, feels remarkably like the French Riviera. Wander charming streets lined with boutiques, pâtisseries, cheese shops, and bustling cafés, visit the Latin Quarter or explore historic districts like Vallée du Tir, and you'll swear you've landed in France.
Just minutes away are the luxurious beachside resorts of Anse Vata, overlooking the world’s largest lagoon, teeming with colourful tropical fish, rare turtles, and even the gentle dugong. Beyond Noumea, Grande Terre unfolds into forests, mountains, and grassy plains just waiting to be explored.
But don't stop there. Relax on the idyllic Isle of Pines, known as the "jewel of the Pacific," or escape to the tranquil Loyalty Islands of Lifou, Maré, and Ouvéa, where white sands, turquoise waters, and serene beauty redefine relaxation.
For your perfect New Caledonian adventure: embrace Noumea’s chic city charm, unwind in Anse Vata’s resorts, then let it all go on a dreamy outer island. Bliss!

Hi I'm Mya!
In my few years of experience in the travel industry, I have had the privilege
of helping clients explore some of the most beautiful and unique destinations
around the world. Specialising in the Pacific Islands, Australia, Bali, and
Southeast Asia, I bring an in-depth knowledge of these regions and a personal
passion for travel.
One of the highlights of my career so far has been escorting a group through
Vietnam and Cambodia – an unforgettable experience that deepened my expertise
in curating high-end, tailored travel experiences.
I’m driven by a deep love for travel and a commitment to crafting exceptional
journeys for every one of my clients. Whether you're seeking a relaxing beach
getaway, an adventurous tour, or a luxurious cruise, I focus on creating trips
that are perfectly suited to your interests and preferences. Let’s make your
dream holiday a reality!

Bula, Bonjour, Talofa, Konnichiwa – and welcome!
From the moment I could dream, I dreamed of travel. At just 17, I set out on
that path by diving into my first travel course, and I’ve never looked back.
For the first decade, I poured my heart into everything South Pacific – those
sparkling waters, warm smiles, and sun-soaked cultures became my world.
Now, my map has expanded far beyond the Pacific, and I’m proud to say I sell
the entire world. And what a breathtakingly vast world it is! Over the past 30
years, I’ve been incredibly fortunate to explore some of its most magical
corners – Samoa, Bali, Vietnam, Hawaii, Italy, and Switzerland are just a few
of the places that have left footprints on my soul.
But this journey isn't just about me. It’s about you – your dreams, your adventures, your once-in-a-lifetime moments. I’m here to ignite your excitement, guide your decisions, and help piece together your perfect travel jigsaw. Whether you’re hopping over to Australia, meandering through the Scottish Highlands in a small group, or gliding past alpine peaks on a Swiss rail tour – I’ll be right beside you, making it all seamless.
There’s nothing quite like nabbing that dream tour, then weaving in the best
flights, stopovers, and secret gems to create an itinerary that’s more than a
trip – it’s an experience. Over the years, I’ve learned something simple but
powerful: every place is unique, kindness connects us all, and life’s most
precious souvenirs are the memories we make.
So let’s start building yours.
