I’ve had the privilege of exploring many incredible destinations worldwide. In the Pacific Islands, Fiji and Niue hold a special place as my favourites. Asia has been another standout, with Japan and Vietnam topping the list for their unique charm and experiences. In the U.S., highlights include Maui, where whale watching in February was truly unforgettable.
My travels have also taken me to parts of Canada, Argentina, and several regions across the UK and Europe—Germany is a standout so far, though there’s still much more to discover! Egypt and Jordan are absolutely awe-inspiring and should be on everyone’s must-visit list. Closer to home, I’ve ventured to all but one state in Australia, with the Northern Territory firmly on my travel wishlist.

Travel plans mostly conjure up pleasant thoughts of new sights, new worlds, new experiences, and it's easy to think you can just do it on your own. But it's especially for those times when the pleasant things don't transpire that the value of a stellar travel expert like Jo O’Gorman reveals itself. Over the past few years that we have relied on Jo to help us create the good times, she's rose to the zenith when helping us rapidly return to NZ before the borders closed due to Covid, had to find alternative arrangements when war broke out, when a loved one died, and when flights were unexpectedly cancelled.
Having someone in your corner like Jo who is always responsive, exercises her arsenal of creativity, positive provider-relationships across the global network, and years of experience in the travel industry becomes an invaluable resource. Having a knowledgeable and well-travelled agent is as important as travel insurance, and to be honest, you should never leave home without both in your pocket. – Melanie and Jon P.
