I’d love to invite you to an upcoming Travel Information Session, where you’ll have the opportunity to hear from three exceptional travel brands – Wendy Wu Tours, Journey Beyond and Viking.

Across the evening, you’ll discover a world of travel possibilities, from immersive escorted journeys through Asia and beyond, to iconic rail adventures across Australia, and luxury river, ocean and expedition cruising. Each brand brings a unique style of travel, offering inspiration for your next holiday, wherever that may be.

I had the incredible opportunity to travel through China with Wendy Wu Tours recently, and it was an unforgettable experience! From exploring iconic landmarks to discovering hidden gems off the beaten path. I’m excited to invite you to join me at the Hamilton event to learn all about the amazing experiences they offer. And if you're not in Hamilton, no worries – they’ll be visiting other locations around New Zealand too. I’d love for you to be part of it!

This is a relaxed and informative event, with engaging presentations, exclusive offers available, and the chance to connect directly with the experts.

Light refreshments will be provided, and attendance is free, however places are limited.

Please email me or register at https://www.travelinformationsessions.co.nz/
I look forward to seeing you there.

I recently returned from a fascinating trip to China. Our first few days were spent in the greater Beijing area where my highlight was hiking different sections of the Great Wall.

After Lake Louise it was down to Banff for some more fun in the snow - an ice walk, skiing, tubing, and enjoying some beautiful mountain views.

Lake Louise - beautiful in both summer and winter!

With the current situation in the Gulf, including the continued closure of UAE airspace as of 7.30am today, I want to reassure all clients that I’m receiving regular updates directly from airlines and industry partners and closely monitoring any potential disruptions. If your travel plans are affected, I will be in touch with clear, practical guidance — no speculation, just informed advice and prompt action.

This is when having a professional Travel Specialist truly matters. When schedules change or routes are disrupted, I draw on years of industry experience, trusted contacts, and strong supplier relationships to navigate the system on your behalf and keep your journey moving as smoothly as possible. This level of care and advocacy is what you receive by booking through me rather than online — dedicated support, long hours behind the scenes when challenges arise, and steady guidance not only now, but during times like COVID and whenever travel doesn’t go to plan.

I’m passionate about what I do, and I care deeply about the clients who trust me with their travel.

Sooo... that destination I was able to hit the ground running on arrival after lying down to sleep on the aircraft - Vancouver, Canada. One of my favourite cities - located beside mountains AND the ocean. What a great combo! We had a whirlwind visit - quick tour around downtown, a ride on Flyover Canada (one of my favourite things to do in Vancouver!), Stanley Park, walking over the suspension bridge, treetops and cliffwalk at Capilano Suspension Bridge, and a foodie tour on Granville Island. It was so good to be back there.

I was a bit spoiled the other night thanks to Air New Zealand. Lovely food and service. So nice to lie flat to sleep and arrive at our destination ready to hit the ground running.
