About Me

White water rafting down Tutea Falls at 7m
White water rafting down Tutea Falls at 7m

My love for travel started at just 11 years old when I embarked on my first international group trip to Australia. Leaving behind my family and friends, I quickly discovered the thrill of exploring the world’s diverse corners and the incredible memories that travel creates. Since then, I’ve nurtured that passion by pursuing a degree in international studies with a focus on tourism, and I’ve dedicated myself to turning my clients' travel dreams into unforgettable realities. I truly enjoy the logistics of crafting seamless trips that create lasting memories, and it’s a joy to play a role in the journey.

Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to live in Spain and travel to places like Australia, New Zealand, Italy, Vatican City, France, Switzerland, Austria, England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Gibraltar, Malta, Poland, Germany, the Netherlands, Jamaica, Dominican Republic and Morocco. Each destination has deepened my love for travel and given me a unique perspective on what makes a trip special.

Whether you're dreaming of a relaxing beach getaway in the Caribbean or seeking adventure in New Zealand, I’m excited to help you plan your next unforgettable experience! Let's connect and start making those travel dreams come true.

Testimonials I am proud of!

"I highly recommend Emilie! She made our trip to New Zealand an absolute dream. From finding the perfect accommodations that matched our preferences to curating a lineup of activities that showcased the best of New Zealand's breathtaking landscapes, she went above and beyond every step of the way. 

Her experience, expertise and attention to detail ensured that our trip was seamless and stress-free, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the adventure. Whether it was exploring Milford Sound, soaking in the beauty of Lake Tekapo, or navigating our way to the magical glowworm caves, every moment felt thoughtfully planned and unforgettable. 

Thank you, Emilie, for turning our New Zealand journey into one of the most memorable experiences!"
