In this post COVID world we live its sure has been a roller coaster ride, but I am confident we are going to emerge out of this stronger and better than before.

A bit about me, I missed my old job being a Travel Agent, so whilst there is not currently enough work around to support me doing what I love full time, getting amongst it and joining up with Travel Advocates on a part time basis is certainly a way of staying in the loop and of course helping you with your travel needs, both domestically in New Zealand or perhaps a bit further afield as the travel bubbles allow.

Those of you that have met me know that I am absolutely passionate about Travel and how it can enrich our lives. I take pride in ensuring that I have understood your needs and circumstances properly so that we, together can make your trip the best it can be. A perfect team.

Get in touch and let’s start planning your next adventure

In February 2021, I made a very tough decision to take a break from the industry that I love and was born to be a part of for nearly 20 years. Whilst I was nervous (and scared) about taking a step back, this break away has given me precious and invaluable time with my family and now just over a year on, I am excited to say, “I’m back”! I did realise over this time that having an equal work life balance is very important to me so Joining Travel Advocates as a Personal Travel Manager seemed the perfect way for me to get back to doing what I love and provide me with everyday flexibility
