Hello, I'm Lara! I was born in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, and moved to New Zealand at the age of 12 — the country I've proudly called home ever since. Over the years, I’ve had the incredible opportunity to live on four different continents, and those experiences have truly shaped my deep love for travel. I’m passionate about history, culture, and helping others discover the world in their own unique way. 


Before settling back in New Zealand full-time, I spent two amazing years working with P&O Cruises, helping guests create unforgettable memories at sea. I also worked overseas as a nanny and with various travel companies, which gave me a deeper appreciation for different lifestyles and travel styles. With over eight years in the travel industry, I’ve developed a strong understanding of what makes a trip truly special — and I love nothing more than turning your dream holiday into a reality.


Whether it’s a quick escape to Australia or the South Pacific, or a once-in-a-lifetime adventure across the globe, I’m here to take the stress out of planning and make sure every detail is just right. No trip is too big or too small — I’m passionate about every journey and can honestly say I look forward to coming to work every single day.
I’d describe myself as bubbly, fun, and adventurous — qualities that not only define who I am, but also inspire how I work.
