About Me
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!
