I started my travel career in 1994, taking a break to have my family, travel and pursue other business interests in between. Travel is my passion having lived in Japan, Australia, Germany and England. I have been fortunate to travel to 40 countries, with many more on my wish list. A favourite destination is Bali where I have visited 8 times, 6 of those to purchase containers of goods for my furnit
ure, homeware and giftware store which I sold in 2013. For me booking your travel is just as exciting, from your initial enquiry until your return home. The world is our oyster! I have experience in retail and corporate travel and can arrange flights, tours, accommodation, cruises, car rental, insurance and more for you. If you’re looking for professional and personalised service, we can meet at a time that suits you. So, let’s plan your adventures together. I look forward to hearing from you.
Destination Gold Coast last day…Tambourine Mountain tour, fabulous day out. Tambourine Mountain Coffee Plantation, Curtis Falls, willow and Sage for lunch, Skywalk and Cauldron Distillery…could have sat here for hours! But, unfortunately all good things must find to an end and head back to NZ! Back to real life!! 🤪
Destination Gold Coast Day 3…it just gets worse!
JetSki to Stradbroke Island for breakky, personal chefs cooking us a divine lunch in our house by the water, visit to Dreamworld…I even went on a roller coaster 🎢 Steel Taipan speeds up to 105kmh, conquering my fear of heights but, still terrified 🤢, dinner at Dreamworld Night Markets, finished off with a visit to the casino - no fortune won though!!
Destination Gold Coast Day 2…
It’s a tough life but, I must do it to make sure it’s suitable for my clients! 🤩
Biking early am up the coast. Heli trip to SeaWorld to pat a dolphin! Hop on hop off boat trip. Incredible lunch at La Luna Beach Club, Duffy boats through the canals with sparkling wine, Hota Gallery and then networking with our amazing suppliers with drinks and canapés! Then our own holiday home right on the water! Think I’ve covered everything!! 🤪
Doesn’t this just sound terrible!!
I have had the most amazing few days…a huge thank you to Destination Gold Coast!
Day 1…😍
Tropical Fruit World and the most amazing long lunch. The Sebel Coolangatta and a fabulous BBQ at Kirra Beach House. ❤️
Micky’s travel pics! So cool for a different perspective on Santiago!
From Micky “Pleasantly surprised by the vibe and social aspect of the city!”
Last night in Santiago! Supermercado shopping! Up to Cerro San Cristóbal gorgeous views over the city. And the amazingly “muy” chic Singular Santiago! Fabulous location…🥰🇨🇱🍾🍷
Santiago conference Day 2…welcome to Santiago Sparkle Gala Dinner sponsored by Air New Zealand! The most spectacular venue overlooking Santiago and the surrounding Andes and volcanoes!
Santiago Conference days…
1st night Bright, Bold & Chic sponsored by TTC Touring Brands, fabulous best of Chile foods, cocktails and entertainment!
Amazing night reconnecting with past colleagues!
First day in Santiago, Chile…just love this city! Gorgeous Hotel Magnolia. Perfect city for exploring on foot ❤️🇨🇱
A bit if a delay in our Chile pics sorry! I was rather busy with our conference and Micky was unsure about posting on facebook! Will sort tonight when we get home.
In the meantime who would like to hear more about Hurtigruten Norway? Even if you’re travelling in 5 years come along on Thursday at 6.30pm for a drink, nibbles and travel chat …please let me know by Thursday lunchtime if you can make it 🥰
We made it! Duct tape and all! ❤️
Should we be worried about the duct tape on the wing?! And who replaces it mid flight? Should have had another wine!!! 🥴
So this week Micky and I are heading to Santiago, Chile! 🇨🇱
I have our Flight Centre Travel Group Independent Global Conference while Micky is out exploring! Watch this space as Micky becomes our very own Travel Guide! Will he be like Jono Fren and be fixated on the buffet or be more discerning like Kevin and Janetta?!
Look out for our 1st episode on Wednesday when we finally land in this incredible city…last time I was there…backpacking and I turned 20! Not that long ago really 🤨
Better late than never, we have chosen a winner for our best packing tip for my trip to Norway back in February.
The lucky person will receive a wee gift bag with Norwegian goodies. Congratulations to Kit Winter-Davis 🎉🎉
Thank you for all your suggestions, I used most of them: 🧣🧤🧥

Last day in Norway! It has been an incredible journey!! Norway/Russia border visit, flying the length of Norway, Oslo city whirlwind trip. Best Buffet breakfast ever! Now for the big trip home ✈️🇳🇴❄️🤩
Just no way to describe today!!! 🥰
King crabbing and eating the catch! Husky sledding, Sami experience. Delicious meal of local cuisine and finished off with the Northern Lights! 🤩
Snowmobiling was the best! Fine dining onboard and more Northern Lights at 0100!!!
Just mind blowing! So hard to describe as the days just keep getting better and better! Noddkapp or North Cape the most northern tip of Europe. 😍🇳🇴❄️

A must visit destination!

First night on our Hurtigruten Cruise 🚢
A huge t***n takk to Hurtigruten! This was the most amazing famil!!
First stop Doha! A fabulous option for a stopover enroute to Europe or the UK.
We crammed a lot into one day so would recommend 2 days. There is great stopover package available 😍
All packed! I think…some fab suggestions on what I should be taking!! I did consider cutting up this sheepskin to line all sorts of items 😝
Still trying to decide on a winner..but, let’s see what I use 🥰

Tip #3 Reason to book through a travel agent...flights were advertised online for next day travel from Australia to NZ. I rang the airline to find out more information, only to be told they are not flying at the moment and flights aren’t available. When you book flights through a travel agent we can see flights in a real time system...I was told by the airline involved that this Online Travel Agent could even be going off flight schedules that are pre-covid! Just because you can see them for sale online doesn't mean they are available.
Travel Tip #2 Plan ahead...while this may mean a while for international destinations (other than Australia or the Cook Islands). Planning your trip well in advance can help you take advantage of better availability and pricing. Especially around school holidays in NZ. Contact me for your domestic as well as your international trips.
Tip #1: Get inspired While we may not be able to travel to far at the moment...we can always dream! It all starts with a little bit of inspiration, and sometimes creativity flows when you’re feeling relaxed. So why not make a night of it? – order takeaway, get a refreshing beverage, and sit down with a pile of magazines for inspiration. Or, you’re welcome to simply send me a message for recommendations!
