About Me

I just love travelling (who doesn’t?) and whilst it’d be great to be able to travel the world full time, the next best thing is booking travel for you. I really love to be able to inspire & create incredible experiences, by using my years of expertise I can ensure that you have the trip you desire and require.

Every trip is unique, just like you!
We travel for different reasons in different seasons.
My aim is to get to know you personally so I can help you with each and every travel experience you wish to have and to inspire you to tick off your list of Places To Go.

I’m fortunate to have been to over 100 countries, travel has always meant so much to me, from childhood family holidays to landing my dream job as a cruise ship photographer for 8 years which saw me sail to every continent and on every ocean. On returning to New Zealand I joined House of Travel Ferrymead for 16 years, the last 6 of those as an owner. I now have a young son, and am enjoying seeing the world through his eyes. I have had lots of fabulous travel experiences and still have many more on my wish list of Places To Go.

Being based at home as a Personal Travel Manager, I am proud to offer a friendly and efficient service with care and attention to detail in every booking. As the world opens up post pandemic, there has never been a better time than to engage with a travel professional. Knowing that I am here to support you through every stage of your travels, before, during and after.

So contact me today to start your next journey. I look forward to getting to know you and helping you be inspired by our wonderful world and all it has to offer.
Because there are always (More/New/Exciting/Familiar/Important/Enriching/Beautiful/Amazing) Places To Go!

Recommended Destinations

This is one of the hardest questions to answer, because I love everywhere!

Some of my highlights include;
Brazil – the people, the music, the beaches, the food, the rainforest, what’s not to love?
The Caribbean – It’s a colourful vibe and will get under your skin. Think rum, fun & steel drums, every island offers something unique.
Norway – so stunning and majestic, scenery on steroids!
Cruising – being on a ship in the middle of the ocean watching the sunset over the horizon – heaven!
Europe – its just awesome & oozes history & culture. Delicious food and wine too.
Borneo – a real adventure for the eco traveller. Amazing landscapes and wildlife. Life changing destination.
UK – nothing beats a thatched cottage, a real cream tea and a cute country pub!
Road Trip USA – hit the road Jack!
Alaska – where every second word will be “Wow!”
Fiji – island time starts the minute you land, the perfect place to unwind.
