Born in the UK, I always felt this strong desire to see the world!
It started with a light-hearted laugh with some girlfriends about how we would love to travel...2 months later I had swapped my life as I knew it for a backpack and embarked on my 7 month adventure...which just never ended. I have been fortunate enough to live and travel over 50 countries so far. Travel is my passion and I love being able to share this and inspire people!
Nowadays you'll find me in this beautiful place called Wanaka, sharing a beer with like-minded nomads, practicing reiki/ yoga, or hiking one of our many stunning mountains.
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"All things New Zealand! Whether you want to throw yourself out of a plane, taste some of the best wines in the world (in my opinion!) or relax in a Sulphur pool, we have you covered!"
How did you get involved in travel?
"Travel led me to travel! After leaving the UK in 2012, I found myself on an epic adventure of discovery. As I am sure everyone will agree, once you have the 'travel bug', it truly never goes away! So what better career than to be able to help other people's dreams come true every...single...day! My love for what I do ensures an authentic and beautiful experience for everyone!"
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"I think my favourite memory of traveling was venturing into the heart of the Amazon. Surrounded by lush green, swimming with pink dolphins, fishing and eating piranha (yes it looked terrifying cooked too!). We came metres from wild anaconda, made friends with hand sized monkeys, and drank beers whilst watching the sunset on a elevated veranda to which we shared with the hostels 'pet'; a 3 metre Cayman called 'Santa'."

Women’s World Cup Aussie/New Zealand Adventure

Jul 17 - Aug 2, 2023
We had an amazing trip for our family with teenage kids and my parents. For the Womens World Cup. We started in Sydney, then to Brisbane and Melbourne. We ended in New Zealand in Wellington and Auckland. All of the hotels were very nice. We had many great tours/activities. One of the best excursions was The America’s Cup in Auckland. Sabina was very helpful.

Thank you Tiffany, I'm glad you had such a great trip!

Hi Jack,
Thank you so much for your feedback. I am so glad you and your family were able to do everything you wanted and it was a lovely trip for you all! The Glaciers and Milford are 2 of my favorite parts of the south island. It is great you had the chance to see how majestic and beautiful the country is. Good luck to Will in his time studying in New Zealand following your trip!

Sabina understood my requirements and tailor made an itinerary. My Itinerary had some tourist stuff, some road trip, some urban hikes and all.
Overall it was a great adventure and can't wait to come back to New Zeland Again. If I plan it again, I would consult Sabina for a tailor Made itinerary. Regards

Cyclone Gabrielle arrived the week before our arrival and disrupted our itinerary.
She worked overtime to ensure our trip was still wonderful.
While others were struggling with reservations and ferry crossings, everything went smoothly for us.
In addition, the hotels Sabina booked were great. As we had asked, she booked at various price points from moderate to... Read more

I was initially set up with a specialist who wasn't listening to my preferences and became increasingly more difficult to communicate with. Once I voiced my concerns though, I was matched with Sabina who was such a pleasure to work with! She was always quick to respond, worked with me on a good balance between budget and activities, and made my trip such an incredible experience. I'd love to work with her in the future when I go back to visit New Zealand and Australia!

Thank you Yi Yi. It was a pleasure to organise your dream trip :)

This was a trip of a lifetime for my husband and I. Sabina developed the most action-packed 23 days in New Zealand's south island. We did all of the helicopter items, mountain biking, hiking, canyoning, jet boating, kayaking, and stargazing. Our cups were full by the end of the trip. In fact we didn't want to leave!

Thanks for the lovely reply, I'm so glad you and your husband had the best time here! :D
Breathtaking!
