Ashleigh Harrison

Hello,

I’m Ashleigh and I am so excited to dip my toes back into the travel and tourism industry.

Pre Covid I was based in Auckland, operating as Cabin Crew on Air New Zealand’s domestic network. Luckily before Covid did hit, I decided it was time to come back home and try something new.

After working in a couple of different industries I realized that travel and tourism is my happy place!

I love hearing about where people are wanting to go and what they are wanting to do. For me, the industry is about hearing and sharing stories, knowledge, tips and tricks to make unforgettable journeys and memories.

My travel journeys have been a mix of both domestic and international travel. One of my favorite trips has been hiring a camper van and travelling around the South Island when the borders were shut. I have also been 4x4ing through Cape York up to Thursday Island in Australia, have had mulled wine at the Christmas markets in the UK, tried finding the Lock Ness monster in Scotland, experienced the amazing Gardens by the Bay in Singapore, and to top it all off, got engaged on Turtle Beach in Kawela Bay, Hawaii. My now husband and I are also frequent Rarotonga travelers when we are in need for a bit of sun.

My next big trip - Europe in 2024 for my little brother’s wedding.

Being a new face, I am so honored to be part of the helloworld travel team in Thames. So come on in and say ‘hello’ - I look forward to hearing about your travel plans!
