Milford Sound, New Zealand
Milford Sound, New Zealand

Also a favorite destination to me (I can’t pick a #1 favorite between Australia and New Zealand), I’ve been a New Zealand specialist for 10+ years and have personally traveled around the country over a handful of times! Visiting almost annually allows me to stay up-to-date on developments in the region to best recommend activities and accommodations for my clients.


 I’m pleased to be the “one stop shop” you’re looking for in planning a complicated bucket list vacation! I take the stress out of the vacation for my clients so that they can simply enjoy the adventure. My professionalism, prompt communication and years of knowledge make me the essential piece to your travel success!


A few of my recent adventures in New Zealand that I will always treasure and enjoy sharing with clients:·  



  •  Farm Stays are a wonderful way to experience New Zealand life.

  •  Arrowtown is an 1800's mining town with quaint shops and restaurants.

  •  Hobbiton is a 'must see' for more than just The Lord of the Rings and Hobbit fans simply for the beauty!

Ireland was the best!
When I made my travel arrangement with Laura Clark she was wonderful. She looked at my budget and we made plans for my trip to Ireland. I came back for a Caribbean Cruise, London and many trips to California. Our next trip planned is an Alaskan Cruise. Can't wait to check in with Laura Clark for this trip.
