Kia Ora, Gidday and Aloha!

I am a Kiwi (New Zealander) and being born and bred in the Great Down Under I have extensive destination knowledge of that part of the world. I have lived throughout New Zealand on both islands from the sub tropics of the Bay of Islands to the ski resorts of Mt Cook and Queenstown. As a young adult I took part in a bicycle tour which took in both islands, 4000 kms and 1.5 years later I had visited, worked in, lived at and enjoyed New Zealands best areas. If you have queries regarding a NZ destination – ask me! I have probably been there!
After moving to Australia 25 years ago I worked in the Tourism Industry in Airline reservations and later with Qantas Jetabout in their inbound division planning itineraries for clients from North America. I have lived in Sydney, Gold Coast and North Queensland. I love to assist clients with personalized information that only comes with indepth knowledge. The Great Barrier reef is a particular specialty having spent time on many of the GBR islands including Lord Howe Island,Dunk, Lizard, Great Keppel, Hamilton,Green, Fitzroy, Hayman,Heron, Lady Elliott, Lady Musgrave and Bedarra Island, staying in the resorts and diving from reef day and liveaboard vessels. I have also cruised on Captain Cook cruises, Coral Princess, P&O, Mike Ball to Lizard Island,Taba Dive, Tusa,Reef encounter,many day trip reef boats and crewed on large yatchs between Cairns and Mooloolaba in South Queensland.

After marrying my Californian husband we moved to Kauai and were there for several years before returning to Australia. He accepted a job offer 5 years later back in the islands and we have now been living here in Kona for the last three years, with two of our three daughters.
My passion is travel and arranging individualized itineraries based on client needs and preferences. I offer attention to detail with in depth destination knowledge and can impart a wealth of current information. I have personal relationships with many suppliers and tour operators in New Zealand and Australia and can offer that extra advantage to assist clients in planning the best Escape ever.

I have also traveled to Fiji, Tahiti, Rarotonga and Bali in Indonesia.
