Australia and New Zealand Specialist

100% Pure New Zealand Specialist

Is New Zealand or Australia on your travel wish list? If not, it should be. Australia and New Zealand are travelers dream destinations. After having lived in Australia for 18 months, I have a unique perspective on the region and people. This part of the glove offers a huge variety of majestic mountains, volcanoes, alpine vistas, gorgeous coastlines, animals, birds, stunning forests, unique cities, villages and more sights and experiences than the imagination can concur up.

It's truly a must see part of this amazing planet. Fly in and the travel around the country by ship with Regent Seven Seas, Celebrity Cruises, Viking Ocean, Oceania, Royal Caribbean, Holland American or Princess cruises. Or stay land side with a self-drive independent itinerary, or go all the way up to a fully guided land tour, leaving the driving on the left hand side of the road to the professionals.

For land based companies I work with Tauck, Globus, Insight, Kensington and Goway for our New Zealand and Australia itineraries.

Whatever your travel mode preferences are, I can help you create the best memory-making adventure down under. Let's go call, text or email me today and get started!

Best trips of our lives

Laura has assisted us with three vacations. I would never consider a trip or vacation "without her." Laura handles everything from finding the best values in airfare, hotels, cruises, ground transportation, and excursions to doing what needs to be done to make it all "happen like clock work." My family could not believe how little we paid for our most recent airfare and cruise...thanks to Laura!

Because Laura has literally traveled the world, she provides a wealth of hands on information from a safety prospective as well as from the prospective of getting the most out of a vacation, including what tours are best, what shows are best, which sight seeing destinations or excursions are best, which restaurants are best, etc., etc.

In addition to being the best travel agent on the planet, Laura is a great listener, sensitive to special needs, budgets, and timing, and beyond kind and helpful. Laura ALWAYS responds to messages or questions quickly and truly never misses a beat.
