About Me

My love and passion for the travel industry!

For me there is no better topic to talk about than travel, holidays, and adventure. I love the challenge, variety of work and connections I have made within the industry and of course amazing clients.

I worked for Flight Centre for over 8.5 years part-time while having my own family. Taking a few months out to reflect and realise how passionate I am about the industry, it was the perfect time to join the amazing team at NZ Travel Brokers in July 2023.

Travel for me consisted of 4 years living in the UK from 1999-2003, travelling to various parts of Europe, Canada, USA, Asia and Africa. Late 2003 we moved back to Wellington for 3 years before embarking on Sydney for 5 years from 2009-2014, from there we explored various States of Australia and Indonesia.

Wellington called us back in 2014, where we have enjoyed domestic ski holidays, Fiji, various trips back to Australia, and most recently Japan.

Feel free to contact me, I would love the opportunity to book your next adventure.

We had the best trip! Karen really knocked it out of the park, her organisation was top drawer. Everything went smoothly: ski tickets, transfers and train tickets all worked perfectly. Our accommodation was great especially at Shiga Kogen which was really brilliant. We are so happy!

Thanks for all of your help with our trip, we had an amazing time! The hotel in Vancouver was really well located, and the room was good with the two beds and also a living space. The Sir Victor Hotel in Barcelona was also a great recommendation. Lovely big room and also a great location. We have had an incredible five weeks. Only thing that we would have done differently in hindsight was less time in Seville and more time in Barcelona. I also left it too late to book Sagrada Família and Real Alcazar in Seville. For some reason I wasn't expecting them to be that busy but they were! Plus closed for new year’s day. However, because we couldn't see Sagrada Família we booked Casa Batllo instead and that was amazing! A silver lining to everything :). Hope you have had a lovely break over the holidays.

Karen planned this out incredibly for us. I really like the accommodation that she chose too. The airport connection times were awesome and not too long or too short. She really hit the nail on the head!

Karen has been extremely helpful throughout the stages of our recent trip to Canada. She is very helpful and knowledgeable with recommendations and ideas to ensure our trip went smoothly. Karen, booked accommodation and activities to assist with time efficiency. Location of accommodation options could not be more perfect. We feel very fortunate to have had Karen's support throughout this process...Karen was extremely helpful and really listened to what we wanted. I was very happy with the choices we make and the budget we stayed within.

Thank you Karen, it went like clockwork and you had all our bases covered. Was always just a phone call or email to sort any dramas. It was a dream to work with you.

The two hotels that Karen booked for us were absolutely amazing. We had the best two weeks and already plan to book our next trip with Karen next year 😊

We would like to commend Karen Robinson on her fantastic work with ensuring that we had a memorable and fun filled holiday in Sri Lanka!
Karen was always approachable from the get-go, helping us with planning and coming up with a bespoke itinerary catering to our needs – this was no easy feat as there were 8 of us!!

Karen prepared a great itinerary, detailing each day’s activities. My dad loved this the most as he is 84 and he loved having a clear plan.
There were a couple of tweaks to the original plan but Karen swifty made the amendments.

Having now been on a holiday of a lifetime, it is easy to see the hard work Karen has put in getting us good deals and ensuring we had a great experience wherever we went. The hotels were luxurious, the service was great and we enjoyed all the scheduled sightseeing.
It made it better knowing that this was all paid for prior to travel and made budgeting on holiday easier as well. The app was also great, and my kids found it useful to know what the plan was for each day. Green Holidays (via Exotic travel) were fantastic throughout our tour.

I cannot speak highly enough of Karen - her commitment and hard work to ensure that we had a great holiday is simply superb 😊

We will not hesitate to use Karen again!
