About Me
People don’t take trips, trips take people!
Travel, it’s without a doubt one of those things in life that makes you feel incredibly happy, free from everyday routine and inspired to do more of it.
I’ve spent the last 18 years in the industry and have had the pleasure of creating dreams and memories for my clients; the joy it brings them is what keeps my passion for travel alive. Meeting for the first time with a client to discuss their travel vision, thoughts and plans fills me with excitement every time.
My journey started in Wellington after completing my travel diploma I took my first job with AA Travel as a domestic consultant. My career progressed with roles at Ansett NZ as ground crew, Corporate Travel agencies as a domestic, international and group consultant, Adventure Travel as a specialist adventure consultant and this year I’ve been involved with Masihambe Afrika Tours Ltd who specialise in authentic African tours for small groups.
I have travelled and experienced some amazing places that have included highlights like floating on a lilo in Waikiki Beach Hawaii when a 200 pound turtle popped it’s massive head up right beside me and swam around which was totally mind blowing!; the spectacular junk boat adventure in Halong Bay Vietnam; Switzerland’s Lakes, I couldn’t believe how beautiful they were yet how much they mirrored New Zealand’s very own Fiordland; all of Italy wowed me especially Rome and the beautiful Pacific Islands of Rarotonga & Fiji so stunning and relaxing yet so different from each other.
Becoming a Travel Broker has empowered me to balance my three beautiful young daughters with the career I love so much. The best part about being a Travel Broker is that I have all the flexibility to work outside the box, I’m not restricted to the traditional 9-5pm office hours so I can meet you at a time that is convenient for you to help create your own unique holiday.
So please don’t hesitate to take that step, I would really love to hear from you, to meet you, to take the hassle out of your next holiday because I really do care about your journey.
