Meet Holly Summer.

With a genuine passion for travel, I’m dedicated to crafting unforgettable experiences for my clients, no matter where in the world they want to go. I thrive on the excitement of discovering new places, and there’s nothing I love more than sharing those discoveries. Whether it’s a hidden gem or a well-known destination. Travel is such a personal experience, and it’s important to me that my clients feel the journeys I offer are unique and tailored to them. 

Food is a huge part of my travels. I’m always on the hunt for vibrant street food markets and local eateries. I adore trying regional dishes, especially those with unique ingredients or flavours I can’t find at home. Wine tasting is another favorite experience of mine and if there is a winery close by – I will be sure to track it down! 

Originally from the UK, I’ve called New Zealand home for the past 15 years. After 10 years in Auckland, I’ve spent the last 5 years in sunny Nelson, which has now become my forever home. I live here with my husband, our 3-year-old daughter, and our English Springer Spaniel. When I’m not planning incredible getaways, you’ll find me socialising with friends, enjoying delicious food, and making new connections along the way. 

I believe travel is a way to truly connect with the world around you – and it’s a philosophy that I take with me in every day life. I feel privileged to take you on the journey with me!
