About Me
My love of travel began with VW Combi road trips across Europe and North Africa, and backpacking through Asia — experiences that sparked a lifelong passion for discovery.
Over the past 30+ years, I’ve explored iconic destinations and hidden gems alike, living in places like the UK, Ireland, Japan, and Dubai. Originally from Christchurch, I’ve been based in Nelson for the past 20 years and now work with travellers across New Zealand to create unforgettable journeys.
As a personal travel broker, I specialise in luxury cruises, small-group tours, independent holidays, and tailor-made itineraries — all designed with care and backed by hands-on knowledge. I also personally design and escort select tours that blend cultural depth, flexibility, and fun.
From securing competitive airfares and arranging travel insurance to adding thoughtful extras that make your trip seamless, I take care of every detail — and offer 24/7 support while you're away.
If you're ready to plan something truly special, I’d love to help.
