About Kristina

My passion is travel! To me it made sense to combine this passion with organising and assisting fellow travellers with their travel dreams.   

With 35 years in the travel industry, my varied work and extensive worldwide travel experiences bring a wealth of knowledge to the consulting, booking and finalising processes.  

My qualifications include Advanced IATA, Module 9 (Advanced) Airfares, ICCA (International Cruise Council).  I keep up to date with ongoing training.  

Travel  experiences that stand out are;   

Sun rising through the sun gate at Machu Picchu, Peru on the 21st of June (winter solstice) walking the Inca Trail  The wow factor of a leopard brushing against the wheels of our safari vehicle as it walked by - Africa  Admiring the magnificent temple at Abu Simbel, Egypt with only 9 of us to disturb the peace  Traversing the Karakorum’s by 4WD – China/Pakistan  Taking the last few steps to 5200meters for a view of Mt Everest, Tibet  Ballooning over uniquely weathered sculptured landscape – Cappadocia, Turkey  The surreal sunrise - Taj Mahal – India  Being jostled in the bustling Kashgar Market, Kashgar, China  Boating up to the thundering Iguaçu falls, Brazil, Argentina  Walking the castle ramparts in a ghostly mist Sintra, Portugal  Walking on 4,000 year old steps – Ephesus, Turkey   

Why should you choose me?  I will ‘live’ your itinerary with you, ensuring you get the best possible value and seam-less travel options  With me you have a travel specialist who has huge experience, and is qualified, specialising in cruise, adventure and group travel.  I arrange the simplest New Zealand flight bookings to the most complicated 3 month independent tours.    

You are in ‘safe, dependable hands’ when you ask me to organise your travel  There is no such thing as a stupid question...  just ask it...  you will get my friendly, professional attention.    

I look forward to hearing from you soon...
