About Us

With over 30 years in the travel industry, I bring extensive experience and insider knowledge to help you plan journeys that truly fit your style. Based in Whangaparāoa, Auckland, I work from home and can also visit you in your own home to talk through your travel ideas and plans. I have a strong understanding of destinations such as Vietnam and Cambodia, Hawaii, the United States, and Europe, and I love helping clients uncover unique experiences and great value along the way. I also have a passion for cruising, from ocean voyages to the elegance of Viking River Cruises through Europe.

Whether you’re dreaming of exploring new cultures, relaxing on a tropical escape, enjoying the ease of a cruise, or designing a multi-stop adventure, I’ll guide you through the options and share tailored recommendations. One of my favourite islands is Niue — though my list of favourites is always changing as I discover new places to love. My goal is to make planning easy and enjoyable while ensuring your trip is seamless, memorable, and perfectly suited to you.

To start planning your next trip, give me a buzz or flick me an email.
