Flight time.

Flying from Auckland to the UK & Ireland usually takes around 24 hours, including a stopover. It’s a long journey, but historic cities, rich culture, and unforgettable landscapes await you

Best time to go.

The best times to visit the UK and Ireland are during late spring to early summer (Late March to June) and early autumn (September to October). These months offer mild temperatures, longer daylight hours, and ideal conditions for exploring cities, countryside, and costal regions.

Time difference.

UK & Ireland are 12 hours behind New Zealand in winter (Apr-Sep) and 13 hours behind New Zealand in summer (Oct-April), so plan for a noticeable time difference.

For as long as I can remember, travel has always been a huge part of my life. I grew up travelling multiple times a year, so it's no surprise I chose a career in the travel industry to carry this on in my adult life! 

My love of travelling and experiencing different cultures is what drives me to create bespoke travel itineraries for all of my clients. I truly believe that travel sparks our imagination, feeds our curiosity, and reminds us how much we all have in common.

I have explored various parts of the world along with our own backyard and will continue to do this to not only fulfil my desire to travel more but also to advance my knowledge of locations that may be of interest to my clients. 

Excelling your needs, wants and expectations before, during and after travel is my main priority. I would love to create a truly amazing trip and memories that will last you a lifetime!
