Meet The Savvy Travel Chick

Travel industry insider and operations partner

I've been where you are — juggling enquiries, itineraries, suppliers and client expectations while trying to grow a profitable travel business. That's why my work sits at the intersection of travel expertise and business operations.

As a travel operations specialist and strategy consultant, I've helped small agencies and independent advisers establish systems that support six‑ and multi‑six‑figure revenue without sacrificing the client experience—or their sanity.

  • We specialise in travel: tours, FIT, luxury and group travel
  • Tool‑neutral: I design processes that work with the tools you already use
  • Balanced approach: strategy, operations and practical implementation

The free consultation is your chance to tap into that experience and get clarity on how to make your travel business more sustainable and scalable.

Client outcomes

What Kiwi travel business owners are saying

Real stories from small Kiwi travel businesses that swapped chaos for clarity and busywork for smarter systems.

“In three months we went from being reactive and disorganised to having clear workflows for every stage of the client journey. I finally feel like a proper agency owner, not just someone trying to keep up.”

— Boutique travel agency owner

“We now have clear SOPs and automation saving my team hours each week. The consultancy paid for itself within the first quarter through time saved and fewer mistakes.”

— Small host agency founder

“Having a strategic partner who understands both travel and operations has been a game-changer. I’m working fewer evenings and my clients are getting a much more polished experience.”

FAQs about the free consult

Still wondering how travel operations consulting fits your business? Start with the free call—there’s no obligation to proceed.

Who is this free consult for?

This free consult is for small travel businesses — independent advisers, boutique agencies and small host agencies who want to tidy up operations or sharpen their strategy. If you’re regularly booking clients but feel disorganised behind the scenes, this session will help.

What will we cover on the call?

We’ll go through how clients currently move through your business, where you’re losing time or dropping tasks, and your goals for the next 6–12 months. You’ll leave with two or three practical recommendations and clarity on whether ongoing support would help.

Will this be a sales pitch?

No — the aim is to provide useful advice first. At the end, if it seems like a good fit I’ll outline a few ways we could work together. If not, you’ll still walk away with practical steps you can use straight away.

Do I need a team, or can it just be me?

You don’t need a team. Many clients are solo advisers or owners with part‑time help. We’ll design systems and structures that suit the business you have now and the one you’re growing into.

What happens after the consultation if I want to proceed?

You’ll get a short summary of our call, recommended next steps, and a proposal with options — from one‑off intensives to longer‑term fractional operations support. You choose the level of partnership that suits your stage and budget.
