About Tina Johnson
Welcome and thank you for taking the time to learn about how I can help create the holiday of your dreams. Enjoying the food and culture and meeting the people of a new country can lead to some of your most unforgettable memories. Whatever your reason for travel, I am here to help you achieve it, whether it be driving Route 66, watching the sunrise over the Taj Mahal, eating pasta in Italy or just lazing on Waikiki beach with your family.
I have been fortunate enough to travel extensively having visited over 55 countries, with new destinations constantly being added to my ‘wish list'. If you are anything like me, my next holiday is being planned before I have even unpacked from the last!
For 6 years I lived in Europe, where I worked as a European tour guide travelling to all European countries including Scandinavia, Russia, Central and Eastern Europe. In the winter I worked in a ski resort in Andorra. When I wasn't working, my independent travels took me to Egypt, Turkey, Israel, Jordan, India, Pakistan, Nepal and Japan. On meeting my husband, we have travelled independently and with our 2 children to Bali, Thailand, Malaysia, Borneo, Singapore, China, Vietnam and New Zealand.
In 2019 we spent 2 months exploring Europe chasing the Northern Lights of Scandinavia before travelling through central Europe to reach the magical sands of Morocco. We finished off the year with a trip to Hawaii where we learnt to surf, visited the set of Jurassic Park and Pearl Harbour before we shop up a storm at the factory outlets.
I headed off to visited both Ireland & Northern Ireland in 2022, a beautiful country full of culture & Irish craic.
As a family we have recently spent a month exploring my home country of New Zealand, my teenage kids loved it the adventure activities, zorbing, jetboating, luging, paragliding. I loved the beaches, mountains and scenery, NZ is wonderful no matter what the season.
My next adventure is a Bali in March - watch this space.
