About Me

With over 20 years in the travel industry, I can honestly say that helping people see the world never gets old. Some say I’m addicted to my job — I prefer to think I’m just lucky enough to do what I love every day! Creating holidays, curating memorable experiences, and seeing my clients return home with incredible stories truly brings me joy.

No two trips are ever the same, and that’s what keeps this industry exciting. Working as an Independent Personal Travel Manager with Travel Advocates allows me to combine my professional expertise with the flexibility to balance family life and my own passion for travel.

I take pride in the strong relationships I’ve built over the years — most of my business now comes from repeat clients and referrals, which I see as the biggest compliment. My goal is to make every step of the journey seamless — from our first chat about ideas, through to the day you touch down back home in Aotearoa.

I’m also backed by an incredible network of experienced travel professionals, many of whom I’ve worked alongside since my House of Travel days. In an ever-changing industry, having a supportive, knowledgeable team to share ideas and insights with makes all the difference.

Travel Advocates is 100% New Zealand owned and operated, fully bonded with TAANZ, and provides complete peace of mind that your travel funds are protected and secure.

So whether you’re just dreaming about your next getaway or ready to pack your bags tomorrow — I’d love to help turn your travel plans into reality.

Let’s start planning your next adventure together. 🌍
