How I can help

We can go over your planned itinary together and I can give you honest feedback - Is it realistic? Too much driving? Too many activities?
I can help you narrow down your options and highlight the places truly worth your time.
If you’re unsure where to start, we can brainstorm ideas together — I can suggest spots you might not have considered, and see if they spark your interest
I can also help you decide how long to spend in each location and the best way to get around, whether that’s flying, driving, or taking a campervan.

How it works

Step 1: Book a slot in my calendar.

Step 2: You’ll receive a confirmation email with a Google Meet link as soon as your

booking is confirmed.

Step 3: I’ll ask if you have any specific questions or itinerary notes you’d like me to

review before our call.

Step 4: On the video call, I’ll share my knowledge and advice so you can fast-track

your New Zealand trip planning. While I don’t make bookings for you, I can

send links and tips so you can book independently.

Step 5: After the call, I’ll send you notes summarizing our discussion. This could

include a day-by-day itinerary with personalized recommendations for

activities, hikes, food, and coffee stops.

What to expect

My goal is to support you in planning a trip that genuinely fits your interests, travel style, and expectations. The advice I offer is independent and experience-based, with no sales pressure or hidden agenda.

My areas of expertise:

Campervan Roadtrips
Outdoor adventures: hiking, camping, watersports
Restaurants, Cafés & Wine
Supporting small & independent businesses

I’m passionate about sustainable travel and local experiences. While I don’t specialize in family-friendly activities, I can still offer guidance if needed. My accommodation recommendations often come from personal experience with smaller, budget-friendly places, but occasionally I’ll suggest highly recommended spots I haven’t stayed at — I’ll always let you know when that’s the case.

I like to keep things informal and friendly, so don’t expect a rigid, serious format. If you finish a call and feel it wasn’t helpful, I’m happy to offer a full refund — I want you to leave feeling excited and clear about your trip.

No-show policy: If you miss your scheduled call without notice, I charge 50% of the booking fee to cover my time and refund the remaining 50%.
