About Me
Travel is my passion!!
I love to travel myself and thoroughly enjoy organising travel for my clients. I have been in the travel industry since 1995, and have been a Travel Broker working from home since 2006. This really suits me since starting a family and allows the flexibility with having a child at school.
Whenever I am organising a trip, I am thinking through the process as if I was doing the trip myself and how I would get from A to B etc. so I can make suggestions and check all the details are in order, rather than just be an order taker. I like to go the extra mile and take particular care when putting travel together for my clients.
I have made the Top 10 for NZ Travel Brokers every year since 2010, and came 1st for three of these years.
I have travelled around parts of Asia, Australia, South Pacific, USA, Canada and Eastern Europe. I thoroughly enjoy cruising and have cruised around NZ, Fiji, Carribean, Alaska and Hawaii on Royal Carribean, Blue Lagoon Cruises, Captain Cook Cruises, Princess Cruises, Celebrity Cruises and Norwegian Cruise Line – of which the later was my all time favourite holiday. Other favourite destinations for me are Salzburg in Austria, Prague, Rome, Paris, Singapore, Thailand, Niue and Alaska.
I can assist with all of your travel requirements with one phone call / email – flights, rental car, accommodation, transfers, sightseeing, shows, sporting events, travel insurance and foreign exchange, rather than you spending hours on the internet searching many websites for the best deal.
Although I work from home, our head office is based in Palmerston North so happy to meet any clients on an appointment basis in the office to discuss travel arrangements for any new or existing clients if required.
