THERESE BROOKING
Therese has 21 years global travel experience, helping people realise their travel aspirations, and experience bucket-list holidays. Therese works alongside her clients to create a seamless holiday that far exceed what you could achieve on your own. Her ability to add those inspirational gems which turn any destination into a unique experience is legendary in the travel industry. From arrival to departure, every detail is anticipated and every effort made to ensure an unforgettable holiday. Her extensive list of local connections takes you beyond the guidebook, behind the scenes, and into the heart of authentic experiences as no other travel company can. Therese has been fortunate enough to go boating in the humungous Amazon River, walk the paths of Machu Picchu, bike and boat Croatia’s sweeping coastline, explore the true meaning of La Dolce Vita, train across Switzerland, es**rt an Italian Vespa Tour, explore Portuguese stately palaces and quaint fishing villages, eaten tapas throughout iconic Spain…and so the list goes on
Of a weekend you will find Therese on the tennis court (hopeless but loves to play and never, ever gives up!!) gardening, trying out new recipes, w**es and restaurants and generally having fun times with the family. ADRIENNE REID
From a background in advertising and marketing, Adrienne’s creative flair shines through in our design and pr work. Between her award-winning career in advertising and being part of the team that established WALK THIS WAY in 2021, Adrienne did a stint with Air New Zealand sales and marketing before joining one of New Zealand’s most respected and long established boutique travel companies, working as a travel specialist for 7 years. Over that time she created truly amazing, immersive holidays all over the world for happy Kiwis – a good proportion coming back for more every year!
“When you plan a trip with A WALK THIS WAY you just know it’s going to be something special. We’re 100% New Zealand owned which is something clients really appreciate. They know we can deliver what they want out of a holiday... and then some!”
Adrienne believes delivering exceptional holidays and great customer service are key when it comes to creating memorable travel experiences for our clients. Perhaps one of her clients sums this up best.
“Adrienne you have done an amazing job meticulously assisting with our travel arrangements & going the "extra mile" which we greatly appreciate.”
Her personal interests include walking (of course!), bridge, tennis, golf, travel, family and friends. JANNE MALCOLM
Janne has experienced many different facets of the Travel and Tourism Industry having worked in New Zealand, Australia, the U.K. and the Pacific Islands in a variety of roles. Her comprehensive understanding of the industry ensures things happen as they should, when they should when - nothing is too much trouble. Together with her systems and product knowledge and attention to detail, Janne has designed many different itineraries and programmes in a wholesale capacity throughout Australia and The Pacific Islands and latterly, specialist cycling and hiking holidays for discerning Kiwis throughout Europe. "It’s more than exciting to be setting off an yet another adventure with the start up of WALK THIS WAY, and together with my colleagues we look forward to offering a combined depth of knowledge, service and detail to all your personalised travel itineraries." Janne enjoys walking and cycling (albeit e-bike), golf, travel, food and w**e, and of course family and friends!
