About Me

Land of lakes, peaks, and peace!
Land of lakes, peaks, and peace!

New Zealand, a land of breathtaking beauty and pure, untouched landscapes, feels like stepping into another world. Known for its dramatic mountains, sparkling lakes, rolling green hills, and rugged coastlines, New Zealand offers a sense of magic and adventure that stays with every traveler who visits.

The North Island blends vibrant culture with natural wonders. Auckland, the country’s largest city, offers waterfront views, volcanic cones, and a lively food scene. Nearby, the geothermal town of Rotorua captivates with bubbling hot springs, geysers, and rich Maori traditions that bring New Zealand’s heritage to life. Wellington, the charming capital, is known for its arts scene, cozy cafés, and beautiful harbor.

The South Island is a paradise for nature lovers. Queenstown — often called the “Adventure Capital of the World” — offers everything from scenic cruises to adrenaline-filled activities like bungee jumping and jet boating. Its lakes and mountain views are nothing short of spectacular. Fiordland National Park, home to Milford Sound, features towering cliffs, waterfalls, and peaceful fjords that create some of the most unforgettable scenery on Earth.

Further north, Christchurch blends English heritage with innovative gardens and parks, while the Marlborough region invites travelers to sip world-famous Sauvignon Blanc among rolling vineyards. The West Coast showcases glaciers, rainforests, and wild beaches that feel wonderfully remote.

New Zealand’s landscapes change dramatically from region to region — snowy peaks, turquoise lakes, volcanic plateaus, and golden beaches — making it easy to explore endless beauty in one trip.

Its cuisine highlights fresh seafood, local produce, and award-winning wines. Add in the warm hospitality of the Kiwi people and a relaxed, adventurous spirit, and the country feels welcoming from the first moment.

Whether you’re hiking through alpine trails, cruising along fjords, exploring Maori culture, or enjoying a peaceful moment beside a lake, New Zealand offers an experience filled with wonder, serenity, and unforgettable memories.

If you would like to visit New Zealand, please give me a call.

Consultant- New Business Development
Reviewed By Young John - Lima Oh | Traveled to Alaska | USA
When planing an event, details and communication are paramount. Nancy was very kind to help me plan my fights to Anchorage. One airline there and a different airline on return. One of my return flight legs had been delayed. Out of no where I received a text from Nancy letting me know about my flight being delayed before I even knew about it. She worked with me to get me home that night with flight options and additional advisement. You can expect that detail of exceeding expectations and then some! Thank you Nancy for being so proactive! We truly enjoyed our fishing trip in Alaska!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

The Best memories for the both of us
Reviewed By Trust Nancy - Ohio | Traveled to Hawaii | USA
While traveling to the airport for our trip to Hawaii, a snow storm canceled the flight around 3am including rescheduling us for the next day, which was unsat. We got home around 5:00am and within a few minutes Nancy called us and got us another flight which we left directly to the airport to catch a same day flt, Nancy was solely responsible for saving the vacation we had planned for months, Absolutely the best travel service I've ever had.
Nancy Uehran responded
"Thank you SO much — this seriously made my day. I know how stressful it is to have a flight canceled in the middle of the night, especially when it’s a trip you’ve been planning for months. I’m really happy I was able to get you re-booked quickly and get you on a same-day flight so you could still make it to Hawaii. Thank you again for letting me help you plan your adventures."

Flawless Travel to Italy
Reviewed By WDMNancyFans - West Des Moines, Iowa | Traveled to Italy | Europe
My wife and I had made a 4-day reservation in Positano, Italy. We soon realized the complexities of planning a 14 day trip for our 1st visit ever to Europe. We went to Nancy with this 1 reservation, “sites to see” wish list, and desired travel dates. Nancy came back with perfect travel plan to maximize our stay, yet giving us plenty of time to do our own thing. Using See Italy, Nancy put together private transportation, that made for worry free travel for our trip. Nancy not only arranged air, auto, train, and water taxi transportation, she alerted them of our trepidation, so drivers personally escorted us through the train station and airport. Can’t thank Nancy enough for arranging our stress free travel!!
Nancy Uehran responded
"I’m so touched by your message! Planning your first trip to Europe was truly a pleasure, and I’m delighted to know it all came together seamlessly. Knowing you could simply relax, explore, and fall in love with Italy—that’s exactly what I strive for every time. Thank you for trusting me with such a special journey! Thanks, Nancy"

Germany, Austria, and Switzerland trip
Reviewed By Tealla - Bozeman Montana | Traveled to Germany | Europe
Nancy did a fantastic job coordinating our lodging for our two week trip! I was lost on how to find the perfect places to stay. She worked with our budget and we loved all every place she picked! They were all within walking distance of the old towns and we had a wonderful time! She was very communicative and I appreciated all her effort. Would highly recommend her to anyone who is traveling to Europe! Thanks Nancy!

New Zealand: Nature at Its Most Dramatic

A trip to New Zealand offers an unforgettable blend of dramatic landscapes, outdoor adventure, and warm, welcoming culture.
