CHOOSE THE WAY YOU TRAVEL
Happy to share
Skip the single supplement by sharing a room with a same-gender traveller on select tours. It’s a great way to save—and maybe meet your travel twin along the way.
Your own space, your own pace
Prefer the comfort of your own room? Choose the single supplement option—join the group by day, unwind in your private retreat by night.

Angela Taverner
House of Travel Hamilton City
With over 40 years of travel experience, including 30 years living and working in the USA, I’ve developed a deep passion for showcasing the beauty and diversity of the United States. But my love of travel goes far beyond that. Travel is not just a career for me—it's a lifelong journey that has shaped my understanding of the world and its many cultures.
I thrive on helping my clients discover unique, off-the-beaten-path destinations, and I have a special fondness for authentic, remote locations that offer a genuine connection to the culture and landscape. My adventures have taken me to the vast sands of Morocco and Egypt, where I’ve explored ancient ruins and vibrant markets. I’ve trekked the Inca Trail in Peru and hiked to Everest Base Camp in Nepal, experiencing firsthand the stunning landscapes and welcoming communities.
Whether it’s trekking through the mountains of Nepal or uncovering hidden gems in Peru, I love guiding travellers to places that offer more than just sightseeing—they offer a chance to truly connect with the world. I find great joy in helping my clients turn their dream holidays into reality, whether they’re after iconic landmarks or remote locations that are rich in culture and adventure.
Through my work as a travel agent, I create experiences that go beyond the ordinary, helping travellers discover not only new places but new perspectives. Let me help you craft a journey that will stay with you long after you’ve returned home.

Having a love of travel, I completed a Bachelor of International Tourism
Management in 2013.
After a 6 month stint working at Walt Disney World in Florida I returned to NZ
and started my career in the travel industry.
After three years I was feeling the itch to travel again so I decided to embark
on my second OE and moved to the UK. Living and working there allowed me to
travel Europe extensively and my favourite country to date would be Poland. I returned to NZ in 2020.

My passion for travel begun when living in London. I was constantly booking getaways to explore all UK and Europe have to offer and I have not stopped exploring since!
Coming home, I have been privileged to take many long breaks to explore different parts of the world. - Some highlights include USA and Tahiti.
Now having a family, I see travel in different light and really enjoy slowing down and embracing every moment.
Travel is for everyone; the world has so much to offer!
I joined the travel industry just over 6 years ago and have helped many people book their dream holidays, I can't wait to help you with yours!
