Walk the Dalmatian Coast

Croatia, Europe

From big wows to hidden gems, Croatia is a haven for walkers who love to get off the beaten tourist trail and explore the very heart of the stunning Dalmatian Coast. Beautiful vineyards, historical cultural highlights, impressive landscapes and stunning beaches await you on an adventurous walking tour.

With medium length walks each day along trails and quiet roads, you’ll see sights and hidden gems most will miss or don’t even know about! Wander leisurely through Hvar’s cobbled lanes, Korčula’s small-town feel, Split’s harbour esplanade and Dubrovnik’s walled history, meet friendly locals, cool off in crystal clear seas and toast the end of the day with delicious local wine from a nearby vineyard and indulge in local delicacies.

All levels of walkers are catered for and walking tours are very popular with solo travellers. And you certainly won’t feel alone for long as you wander along quiet rural roads surrounded by newfound friends.

Travel is truly in my blood. My grandparents sparked the travel bug in my mum, and she passed that passion on to me. From the moment I took my very first holiday at age three, a magical trip to Disneyland, I was hooked. Growing up, I listened to my mum’s stories from her OE, my cousins’ globe-trotting adventures, and my sister’s explorations, all of which fueled my own wanderlust.

Over the years, I’ve lived in Scotland, as well as in England and Ireland, soaking up different cultures and ways of life. I’ve been fortunate to travel extensively, exploring incredible destinations including Jordan, Israel, the USA, Australia & Europe. I’ve experienced the security and ease of organised solo travel with Contiki and Topdeck tours, but I’ve also embraced the challenge and freedom of planning my own trips, like eloping in Denmark, which remains one of my most cherished adventures.

With a background in hospitality, I combine practical knowledge with genuine care to craft holidays that are personalised, meaningful, and seamless. I love getting to know your unique travel style and what matters most to you, whether that’s family fun, a romantic escape, or a bucket-list adventure.

I’m not just your travel consultant; I’m your travel cheerleader. I’ll celebrate every countdown with you, smooth out any bumps along the way, and be just as excited when everything comes together perfectly. My goal is to take the stress out of travel planning, so you can focus on making memories.

Let’s work together to create a travel experience that’s not only unforgettable but uniquely yours.

From the first travel I did as a teenager I have wanted to travel the world, experience the food, absorb the culture and learn the history!!!

I have always been passionate about creating the ultimate holidays and feel that makes me the best planner of your holidays that I can be!!

I had been selling travel for over 20 years when I felt something else was needed and to the leap to be the retail manger of House of Travel Papamoa. I feel I have never looked back and enjoy leading a fantastic group of people!!

I love my job!!! I love the fact that no one holiday is ever the same and also thrive on a challenge of a complex itinerary, round the world flight or something out of the norm.

I think the benefit you get with me is the experience I have had planning and travel and the places I have travelled.

I have travelled extensively and in particular done a lot around New Zealand, Australia, South Pacific Islands, USA and Europe and find that travel opens your mind to another world full of new experiences, new tastes and an appreciation for life in general.

I have a rule that every trip I do I need to pick one unique thing to do on holiday that is un-usual or you would not do on another holiday .... I have been hot air ballooning, have been on a segway tour, have helicoptered out to an island etc.

My Travel Tips

I am a bit of a IT geek so always travel with an adaptor that has USB ports for my IWatch, iPhone and iPad.
Have a store of great apps that help with travel, packing, maps, closest toilet etc.!!
Always keep in touch with your travel agent so they can keep you up to date with deals that are out for your next holiday.
Cash passports are a MUST as safe and easy way to travel.

The best holidays are definitely created together so would love to get you in for an appointment and have a discussion about your travel dreams.
