After I received multiple requests for trip itineraries, I realized that what my parents consider "faffing about" might actually be used to help people out. I'm happy to discuss, map out, plan or even guide trips around North America and New Zealand for those who want a personalized experience. I've been traveling my whole life thanks to my parents. It used to be all guided trips and 5 star hotels
, spas and those little fish that eat the skin from in-between your toes. After turning 18, I still had the travel bug, but my parents were done funding such luxurious experiences. Cut to years of budget travel, grimy hostels, sleeping in airports, and some amazing people taking me into their homes before finally deciding to spend a year and a half in a van traveling around New Zealand,
I've had the best of both worlds, experienced a lot in the process and now I can finally do something with all this time I've spent "faffing about" according to my elders. I have 6 years of professional guiding experience from college campuses, to National Parks, to Canada and the USA. I've extensively traveled New Zealand, and arguably seen more of it than 97% of the world's population. Mix in an extensive knowledge base with a few lessons learned the hard way and you've got someone who is rife with travel advice. I've got a lot of tips like where it's safe to profess your hatred for Trump, and which public bathrooms are better left unopened. I love sharing my experiences because I know how much it sucks to miss out on something when you may never get the chance to come back to again. So if you are looking to go to the US, Canada or New Zealand but don't feel like doing the group travel thing then let's have a chat. I'll help personalize a trip of a lifetime for you!
