Argentina

A land of passion, flavour, and awe-inspiring landscapes


Salt flats, steak and soul-stirring moments

From the sultry tango halls of Buenos Aires to the towering glaciers of Patagonia, Argentina is a country of dramatic contrasts.

One minute you’re feasting on sizzling steaks and sipping world-class malbecs in stylish city restaurants; the next, you’re standing spellbound before the thundering beauty of Iguazú Falls, where nature calls the shots in spectacular style.

Stand in awe of the vast salt flats of Jujuy Province, sip and swirl your way through the vineyards of Cafayate, hit the open road along legendary Route 40, or saddle up with gauchos across the sprawling pampas. And if you’re a football fan? Time your visit for a local match – the atmosphere is electric, spine-tingling, unforgettable.

Whether it’s the culture, cuisine or cinematic scenery that’s calling you, every moment in Argentina is wrapped in passion. This isn’t a country that does things halfway.

Flight time

The flight from Auckland to Argentina takes roughly 15.5 hours with a stopover. Despite the longish travel time, the vibrant culture and stunning landscapes make it worth the trip.

Calendar Icon

Best time to go

Spring (September–November) and Autumn (March–June) are ideal for exploring Argentina’s cities with fewer crowds. For hiking Patagonia or enjoying summer festivals, visit between December and February, when the south is at its warmest.

Time difference

Argentina is between 15 and 16 hours behind New Zealand, depending on Daylight Saving at our end, so it's a bit of a difference.

For me, travel has been more than just a series of destinations,  it has been a transformative journey that has sculpted my character and contributed to my personal evolution. 

My travel experiences are not merely about ticking off destinations from a bucket list, but about immersing myself in the heart and soul of each place I’ve visited visit.  

My early travels began with frequent road trips around my home country of Canada and the USA, and I am fortunate enough to have now been to six of the seven continents. 

Exploring the world through various modes of transportation has been a thrilling adventure for me, from cruise ships, to trains, to rickshaws, and I have an appreciation for the experiences that local transport offers.  I am comfortable with sleeping in a hammock in the rainforest, an overwater bungalow in the South Pacific, and everything in between.  

My experiences have taught me to adapt to different situations and understand diverse perspectives, and my background in customer service and sales has equipped me with valuable skills that I believe make me well-suited for various client needs. I believe this makes me well-suited to meet your needs as a client.

Whether it's finding solutions to problems or anticipating your preferences, I strive to provide an exceptional service tailored to you. My aim is to not just meet but exceed your expectations by drawing on my varied background.

My enthusiasm for travel is infectious, and it is my goal to inspire others to embark on their own adventures and discover the beauty of our planet.

I’m someone who’s always had a deep passion for travel and a genuine love of connecting people with the world around them.

I’ve been fortunate to live in several countries and have spent many months backpacking through South America, Europe and Asia, experiences that have given me a deep appreciation for different cultures, landscapes, and ways of life.

My love of languages and exploring the world has naturally evolved into a career in travel. I enjoy discovering what motivates your travels and tailoring your trip to suit your own style and interests.

I have travelled extensively across Europe and lived abroad both in the UK and Paraguay. Recent travel highlights include cruising Hawaii’s Islands and experiencing the best of Washington DC.

My special interest is in cruising, from the world’s largest floating resorts to casually cruising Europe’s rivers or the more adventurous Expedition ships to the Antarctic. There is a cruise possibility for every personality and preference!

I look forward to getting to know you and helping you to get the most out of your next adventure.
