Our Founder
Karen Cherrett was born in Australia. Her family traveled and explored Australia so much so, that there isn’t much she hasn’t visited. Karen spent time enjoying travel in New Zealand too, which is why these are her prime destinations.
Having worked in the corporate world in Project Management and Communications, she brought these skills to her travel business.
Every year she has unique travel experiences that open her eyes to more amazing experiences to share with travelers.
