Welcome to my page! I'm Meghan, and I have been working in the travel industry as a travel consultant on and off since 2007. I have extensive knowledge of the UK, Europe, Asia and North America as well as ocean and river cruising. A bit about me; I was brought up in Eastern Canada and once I finished University in Nova Scotia in 2003, I embarked on my OE. I visited Malaysia and then New Zealand on

a working holiday visa. Long story short, I soon met my English husband in Blenheim, NZ and then lived in the UK for 7 years before moving back to NZ permanently in January 2012. I studied the art of wine-making while I was living in the UK and had the chance to work in vineyards in England, France and Canada as well as travel parts of Europe and taste some of the most beautiful wines on offer. Wine tourism is definitely my forte! I am available during the weekdays, evenings and weekends, so please feel free to message, email, or call me at any time. I look forward to speaking with you soon and planning your dream holiday.
