On the Go Tours

Travel has been a constant in my life since my OE started with a classic Contiki trip through Europe, followed by working in London and traveling through the UK, Turkey, Egypt, and Israel. I also spent a year working in Iceland—a now trendy travel hotspot—before returning to New Zealand.

In 2000, my family moved to the middle east living in both Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, which provided an exciting base for exploring nearby destinations. We had unforgettable holidays in Austria, France, the UK, Cyprus, Egypt, Jordan, Turkey, Sri Lanka, and Kenya.

Returning to New Zealand marked a new chapter of travel, this time without children. Recent adventures have included Vietnam, India, China, Peru, and Cambodia.

My travel career started with Singapore Airlines and since 2019 I’ve been consulting at House of Travel in Howick.  I love talking and connecting with clients, listening to their travel dreams and turning them into memorable experiences.  

Whether you're looking for an island getaway, relaxing cruise or an exciting adventure, I’m here to help you plan the perfect trip.

Travel is an adventure that brings the world to life.

“I haven’t been everywhere but it’s on my list” has pretty much been my life motto since I was 14. I sold a motorbike I’d outgrown and used the money to book myself, as an unaccompanied minor, on a flight to Australia to visit family, and I’ve never really stopped travelling since.

In my early 20s I did the classic European OE, and what I love most is how my travel style has evolved with each stage of life. I’ve backpacked, joined coach tours, sailed on luxury cruises and stayed in five star chateaus with two Michelin star restaurants. Now, with two young children, I’m genuinely excited about the next chapter: beach resorts with brilliant kids clubs, multi generational escapes and, of course, the Disneyland years.

I’ve travelled extensively through the South Pacific, Europe and Asia, and I’ve spent 17 years in the travel industry, most of that time working in product. That behind the scenes experience means I know how to sort the genuinely great options from the glossy brochure fluff, and how to build itineraries that flow well in real life, not just on paper.

As a consultant, I am especially passionate about the South Pacific, road trips and multi generational travel. I love finding those little “in between” moments that become the stories you tell for years, like taking the slow roads instead of highways or exploring a new neighbourhood while the washing is spinning at a local laundromat. My goal is to design journeys that feel personal, well considered and fun, with a little bit of something for everyone who is coming along.

If you are looking for someone who understands how travel changes as life does, from solo adventures to family holidays and everything in between, I would love to help you plan your next chapter.

Travel has been at the heart of my life since my very first overseas adventure at just six years old. That early experience sparked a lifelong passion for exploring the world, leading me to travel independently through my twenties and visit more than 73 countries across the globe. Every journey has deepened my appreciation for new cultures, unforgettable experiences, and the joy that travel brings.

With over 20 years of experience in the travel industry, I combine my professional expertise with my personal love of travel to create holidays that are seamless, memorable, and tailored to each client. Whether you're dreaming of a relaxing South Pacific escape, a luxury getaway, a family holiday, a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, or an epic journey around the world, I'll take the time to understand what matters most to you and bring your vision to life.

I'm passionate about making every step of your journey effortless, so you can focus on enjoying the adventure.

I look forward to helping you create unforgettable travel experiences and turning your travel dreams into reality.

Having travelled extensively I thoroughly enjoy immersing myself in the rich culture of any country I am fortunate enough to visit. Travel is my passion and I love helping clients create an unforgettable experience that is uniquely their own. 

I genuinely believe that travel is the only thing you can buy that makes you richer. I enjoy being part of each and every journey. No day is the same in the life of a travel consultant and I relish the challenge that this represents. I am flattered by the number of clients who have come back to me time and time again. 

Having travelled to nearly 50 countries, my bucket list is still never ending. I have backpacked my way through the world in my youth as well as enjoying five star luxury in more recent times. I have definitely felt richer from each and every experience. Travel is a way of life, I love what I do and that passion and enthusiasm always translates into the work I put into my clients plans.
