I was born in the UK and first came to New Zealand with my family on a six-week holiday in the 1980s. We loved the country so much that we emigrated when I was 11, and New Zealand has been home ever since.

Today, at Amazing New Zealand Itineraries, I specialise in creating personalised New Zealand holidays for international travellers. From relaxed self-drive journeys to fully private chauffeur-driven itineraries, every trip is designed around your interests, pace, accommodation preferences and the time you have available.

Having lived in New Zealand for most of my life, I know the country extremely well and understand the practical side of travelling here too. That includes realistic driving times, seasonal conditions, accommodation availability and, most importantly, how to put together an itinerary that allows you to experience New Zealand without feeling rushed.

I work closely with each client to understand what they really want from their holiday, whether that's spectacular scenery, wildlife, Māori culture, food and wine, walking and cycling, or simply discovering beautiful places at a relaxed pace.

My aim is simple: to create a New Zealand journey that feels personal to you, while taking care of the planning and logistics behind the scenes so you can simply enjoy the experience.
