About me

I’m a Kiwi Melbournian, born in New Zealand now calling Melbourne home.

I like being in the outdoors, rural and urban. In summer 2025 I hosted my “Dining Hikers” group on a winery lunch & tasting in Marlborough, delectable restaurants in Nelson and Wellington and 5 days walking and paddling in New Zealand’s Abel Tasman National Park, jet boating on the Wanganui River and e biking around the beautiful Upper Moutere . Our 2026 itinerary is in the planning stages, email me to join us.

In April 2025 I was invited to attend Visit Scotland’s annual Travel Trade conference in Aberdeen meeting with Tourism Boards, Tour Operators and Hoteliers. My client’s self drive, walking and golfing itineraries will benefit from the people I met on this trip. Already client’s are benefitting from my connections, enjoying dinner at Mharsanta on their first night in Glasgow.

As a Personal Travel Manager, my goal is to add value to your travel planning and ensure you have an amazing, memorable and seamless travel experience.

Where I've Travelled

In March 2025 the Dining Hikers (a nickname for the small group tour I take to New Zealand annually with a focus on food and walking) went to the Nelson Region this year. With perfect weather we spent a day on e bikes visiting the Moutere Artisans then into the Abel Tasman National Park for five days of walking, paddling and eating. My perfect active relaxing holiday.

Visit Scotland invited me to attend their annual Travel Industry Conference, Visit Scotland Connect, in Aberdeen in April 2025. It’s an opportunity to talk Scotland for 48 hours, meeting some of the 250 Scottish Tour Operators, Hoteliers and Tourism Boards that attend.  AND, the opportunity to learn the traditional ceilidh dancing, great fun! I left buzzing about all things Scotland from Haggis making classes, Scottish Folk Music Tours, Distillery Stays, Golfing and Road trip itineraries, Island Stays and accommodation connections from self catering to Scottish Castle Stays. Get in touch if Scotland’s on your wishlist!

My introduction to Aberdeen was with Invisible Cities , a social enterprise training homeless and vulnerable people as Tour Guides. This was a highlight hearing Angus’ story while he walked us around his Aberdeen. If you’re going to Scotland, look them up or I can include one of their tours in your itinerary.
