“It is our duty to proceed from what is near to what is distant, to what is now to that which is less known”

If there is one thing I know for sure is that New Zealand is one of the most beautiful countries in the world – and there are not many roads in this country that I haven’t travelled on. But that aside, deep down there is an urge within most of us to get out and explore further afield. I am ready and eager for help you with this – no matter where you are planning to go.

My travel career started at a ripe young age of 18, after flying the coup from a small central North Island town (with a population of around 4000 – including surrounding districts). I found myself in Auckland where I completed a diploma of Travel, Tourism and Business Studies – and after that, the Sky was the limit.

Having worked in a number of different environments within the Travel Industry, I ventured to hotels for a number of years. Upon moving to Patumahoe, I realised my passion was for helping people achieve their dreams, and I joined NZ Travel Brokers in early 2020 as their business model and philosophies were aligned with mine.

There are not many locations where I haven’t had my clients travel to, and I applaud the unknown and quirky locations people select. One of the biggest achievements of my career was working with a couple of clients who embarked on what is referred to an “Absolutely Outrageous Adventure”. Their quest (which was successfully achieved) was to visit 191 counties in 150 days, to enter the Guinness Book of Records and help promote Save the Children. A truly daunting trip even for the most experienced of travellers.

Everyone has a different dream location, and regardless of how far away it is – I am ready to help make your dream come through. Simply reach out to me – and remember life it short, you only get one shot at it – so do it TODAY. A wise person once told me that if an opportunity arises, take it now – it might not be there when you return later.
