Travel Professional

High-touch travel designer | NZ & beyond | Bespoke journeys for the seasoned traveller

With over two decades in travel, tourism and hospitality, I’ve built a business on genuine relationships, obsessive attention to detail, and a passion for curating meaningful travel experiences. I work primarily with mature travellers who want more than a cookie-cutter holiday — they want confidence, care, and someone who just gets it.

Whether you’re dreaming of a tailor-made New Zealand itinerary or planning your next big bucket list adventure, I’m here to guide you every step of the way. From seamless logistics to those extra-special touches, I’ll ensure your journey feels effortless and entirely your own.

I’m proudly based in Queenstown, with a strong focus on inbound clients from the US and bespoke NZ adventures — think luxury lodges, scenic escapes, and once-in-a-lifetime experiences. My clients say they feel like I’m always one step ahead (I like to think of it as travel intuition built on 21+ years of experience).  My own travels have taken me from safari in South Africa to being humbled by the sheer scale and centuries of history in China, island hopping in Thailand, and swimming with humpbacks in Tonga. 

Here’s what matters to me:

  • Exceptional service with a personal touch
  • Clear, responsive communication
  • Making the complex feel simple
  • Travel that reflects you

If you’re after a consultant who combines industry smarts with a genuinely warm approach, we’ll get on brilliantly.
