Flight time
The flight from Auckland to Sweden takes roughly 27 hours with a stopover. You might need a nap when you get there but those gorgeous landscapes will soon make you forget any tiredness.
It’s hard not to associate Sweden with stylish fashion and sleek, modern design. But there’s so much more to this captivating country than impeccably dressed locals and clean-lined architecture.
Beyond the cities, Sweden’s great outdoors will leave you speechless – paddle across glassy lakes, hike through emerald-green forests, or bask in the golden glow of the midnight sun. In winter, wrap up for a cosy fika (think coffee and cinnamon buns) before wandering the cobbled streets of Gamla Stan, where history whispers from every crooked lane and stone façade.
Craving urban inspiration? You’ll find cutting-edge galleries, boutique design stores and buzzing waterfront cafés in the cities. But if it’s wild outdoor bliss you’re chasing, head north to the alpine beauty of Lappland or the dramatic wonder of Skuleskogen National Park, where ancient coastlines rise nearly 300 metres above the sea, and forest, mountain and ocean come together in spectacular style.

Sweden shines in summer with endless daylight and vibrant festivals, but winter brings snowy landscapes and northern lights. Visit June–August for midnight sun adventures, or November–March for magical aurora displays.
Sweden is 10-12 hours behind New Zealand depending on Daylight Saving at both ends. But don't worry about lost time if you're going in summer - daylight hours go on forever over there.

I have been in the travel Industry for 20 years and am convinced that it
is the most exciting industry to be a part of.
I still get excited about all things travel and love exploring new and exciting

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.

Hi, I’m Jo and I joined the House of Travel Papamoa team in April 2022 not long after the borders opened and it’s fair to say it’s been crazy busy ever since! No two days are the same and I thrive working in a fast-paced environment. I have been working in Travel for around 10 years and started in January 2009 at Flight Centre Mt Maunganui and then moved to Auckland in 2011 to step into a management role to open their new retail store in Royal Oak. I then moved back to the Tauranga area in early 2013 and opened the Flight Centre in Bayfair. Opening two of Flight Centre’s stores gave me an incredible learning experience and insight into building a business and taking it to incredible heights! I was also in charge of training multiple new to the industry staff members. Before Travel I worked in banking for 4 and half years both in the retail branch and the business banking team.
I have great attention to detail, excellent communication skills and am down to earth, friendly and approachable. I love meeting new people and building relationships with my clients. I love putting together itineraries and working closely with you to find your perfect fit.
I'm passionate about travel to Canada and the UK. As I lived in Vancouver for 6 months and London for nearly 3 years on Working Holidays. I’ve also spent 3 weeks in Egypt and over 6 weeks in South America. I’ve travelled on my own to Asia and then jumped on an Intrepid Cambodia tour. I have also done a 28 day Topdeck Camping trip around Europe and travelled independently using Eurail passes and the Eurostar. Along with many other exciting adventures!
My partner Duncan and I have two children, a son 10 and daughter 8 whom we took on holiday to Plantation Island in Fiji for a week. We have also spent 2 weeks in Bali as a family in 2023. Duncan and I also experienced a Viking cruise earlier this year which we absolutely loved! Our latest holiday was spending 5 nights in Fiji at the All Inclusive Naviti Resort.
We live locally in the Papamoa Hills and own a lifestyle block with cows, sheep, chickens, cats, and our gorgeous dog Millie. We love the outdoors and taking advantage of the many wonderful things on offer here in the Tauranga area.
I’d love to help you plan your next trip and look forward to hearing from you.
