Travel Planning
I have spent more than thirty years solo traveling, working, writing and tour guiding around India, South East Asia, New Zealand, Rarotonga and Tonga.
Along the way I have met and maintained contact with many tour operators, accommodation and transport providers.
I have test driven many! Now I have a community of trusted people who are like second family to me.
I specialise in earth conscious ethical travel and I love to encourage women to explore the world
My areas of expertise are
Exploring Retirement Locations
Thinking or dreaming about retiring overseas? Looking for affordable health care options? Get in touch! I can help.Aotearoa (New Zealand) - my homeland where my unique position as an indigenous woman (basically this means I am related to almost everyone Māori) means that I am able to offer our guests a true experience. Also I pretty much know every bend in the road of my beautiful country.I partner with The Road Trip New Zealand on request.India - I spent half my adult life in India. I consulted with travel companies and designed itineraries for and led solo and group travel.
My passion is textiles and health, talk to me about Ayurveda and medical tourism.

I can help you design your travel plans to either country and am available to lead small group tours or individual travel.
Armchair Travel
I have been obsessed with travel as a learning experience and a way to understand more about the diverse cultures on our lovely planet since I first discovered Armchair Travel as a breastfeeding mum.
For me travel is an agent of peaceful understanding and my writings reflect that philosophy.
