Susan Austin

Hello everyone, my name is Sue, and I am a newcomer to Helloworld Travel based at the Paraparaumu store.

I have lived outside of New Zealand for 30 years, working and travelling throughout the hospitality and tourism industry as a chef, tour guide, tour hostess, and hotel professional. I spent 20 years in Australia before moving further afield to Brunei, Borneo, France, and Norway. I also sailed throughout the Caribbean and West Indies, including the Bahamas, Mexico, Belize, Turks and Caicos, and the Dominican Republic, before returning to New Zealand in 2015.

I have an adventurous spirit, having skydived, become a qualified PADI scuba diver, and even gone hot air ballooning!

I am most looking forward to helping new customers plan their own adventures, create lifelong memories, and enjoy a fantastic experience from start to finish.

Please feel free to come and say hi in store next time you're out at Coastlands.
