Emeline Rose
I fell in love with the natural beauty and culture of New Zealand since I first step foot in the country. After traveling extensively through the South and North Island for a few months, I decided to stay and share my passion for the amazing landscapes, the friendly and open-minded people and the various range of outdoor activities with travelers from all around the world. I understand each traveler has its own expectations and needs in regards to traveling and it's what I like most about my job: be able to create the perfect itinerary for everyone and work each day on a new program fitting best what YOU want.
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"Hiking trails and cultural immersions!"
How did you get involved in travel?
"I believe that traveling is not only about seeing beautiful cultural and natural sites but also immersing yourself into a new culture and way of life. Each trip has an impact on our daily life and helps us being more open minded. That is what I've always wanted to do: make people experience a country and new culture."
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"The friendliness and the open-mindedness of kiwis keep surprising me every day! This is for me one of the highlights of my travels in New Zealand.
Being a big fan of trekking trails and nature, I will never forget the Tongariro Alpine Crossing and the amazing landscapes I encountered all the way."

One of my favorite trips EVER · New Zealand - Nov 16 - Nov 26, 2019
Every guide we had, and every employee at all the bed and breakfasts/motels we stayed at, were so kind, helpful and thoughtful. Emiline created an amazing trip for us unlike anything we’ve experienced before. Makes me wanting to come back to New Zealand for more! The itinerary was very detailed and Emiline was always very immediate with her response and helpful all along the way, from the planning to while we were on the trip and had some weather mishaps. Thank you Kimkim for yet another unforgettable trip for us!
Kia Ora Geena,

I hope you get the chance to come back, maybe to explore the North Island ?
