I’m originally from Australia, but after visiting New Zealand I loved it so much that I settled here and now call Wanaka my home. Wanaka is a place everyone should see, so if I get to help you plan your New Zealand Coach Tour don't be surprised if it includes a stop here.

Originally from Canada, I’ve lived all over the world but knew Wanaka was where I would be hanging my hat the first day I arrived! I’ve been in many roles in the tourism industry, from tour guide to travel agent. New Zealand has so much to offer, from wineries and wildlife to thrill-seeking activities and culture - the best part about my role now is being able to share these experiences and first-hand knowledge with YOU!

Planning and arranging tours for visitors to New Zealand is great fun, and so it should be! I love working with guests making the best recommendation and helping them create a wonderful New Zealand experience. I also enjoy travelling around New Zealand and so sharing this with visitors gives me great satisfaction.

I am a born and bred Kiwi and after travelling the world extensively I returned home many years later to raise my family. As soon as I landed I realised that there really is no place like New Zealand and just knew I had to showcase this to the world. I now dedicate my time so that holidaymakers like yourself can experience that very same revelation.

I emigrated to NZ some years ago, now from my homeland of Germany. In short I loved this place and everything I could enjoy in it. So, sharing and planning New Zealand tours and holidays is extremely enjoyable and making sure it’s the same for you is number 1 for me.

With my extensive knowledge in the corporate event industry as well as the tourism sector throughout New Zealand, I cannot wait to create your dream holiday!

I came to New Zealand from the UK but was actually born in Greece. I have been lucky enough to travel all over the world (32 countries to be exact) but my passion for skiing, hiking and the outdoors drew me to New Zealand and I never left. I live in the beautiful South Island town of Wanaka but have explored all four corners of New Zealand and cant wait to share it with you.

I am a Kiwi, born and raised in Christchurch, currently living in Wanaka. I moved to the North Island as a teenager and as such I have had many adventures all over New Zealand, from Auckland to Stewart Island. My passion for snowboarding took me to Canada for a year, and I have also had the opportunity to explore through England and Europe. I look forward to helping you plan your adventure so you too can see and experience our beautiful New Zealand!

I was born in Cape Town and moved to the hustle and bustle of London when I was 10 years old. I craved fresh air, mountains and an outdoors lifestyle so made the move to Wanaka and am loving every minute!! My weekends consist of trying to cram in as much hiking, skiing, and kayaking as possible. I absolutely love to explore and find hidden gems. I have the best job.. sharing these hidden gems with you!

I have been living in the Southern Hemisphere for over 5 years now and I am passionate about New Zealand's extraordinary outdoors whether its hiking in the countryside, exploring the cities or seeking out the wonderful NZ bird life (a passion of mine).

Born in Southern Ontario, Canada, my family moved to Rotorua, New Zealand when I was in high school. Competitive cycling allowed my passion for travel to flourish, taking me all over North America, Australia and New Zealand and inevitably leading me to choose a career in tourism. I’d love to hear more about you and share my amazing backyard with you! Feel free to contact via phone or email.
