“Travel! It leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.”
- Ibn Battuta

Our world contains so many amazing sights, cultures and experiences. This is why I love travel, we get the chance to experience these and learn more about our world every day!
An unforgettable moment from my travels is experiencing “The Sparkle” at the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Sitting on the grass with my tour group who are now lifelong friends, I remember thinking, “Is this real, or am I dreaming?” It was one of those magical “pinch-me” moments I’ll never forget and I would love to help create those moments for you.
Come and see me in the Rolleston, Christchurch office and we can experience the world together.
Where I've been: New Zealand, Australia, Japan, United States, London, France, Monaco, Italy, Germany, Netherlands (After August 2026 this will also include Singapore and Vietnam)

"Oh, the places you will go."

I am all about collecting moments, not things.
I love travel because it lets me make those memories that I’ll keep forever.

"It's not the destination but the Journeys"
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Travel creates a rich life, whether that be a stop and drop holiday or a creative experience with memories to last a lifetime.
I have been lucky enough to travel to 70 different countries, travelled alone to Greece and Thailand, coupled with a family holiday throughout the Middle East, plus enjoyed the USA with friends. I got married in Fiji and honeymooned in Tasmania, I believe I have the right background and knowledge to assist your future travel plans.
Regardless of the holiday experience you need, I'm here to help in making your own dreams become a reality and I look forward to sharing some experiences from my own travels over the years. There is no better feeling than when clients return to share their holiday experiences and highlights, I look forward to starting the journey with you!
