Debbie

Hi, my name is Debbie and I have been working in travel for 16 years, the last ten with Jennings United Travel in Napier as Travel Assistant to the agents in our office.

 

I have been lucky to have had opportunities to travel with my husband and family to many destinations over the years, to Australia for visits to family and friends, to Fiji and Rarotonga for family breaks, to Hawaii and the USA for Conferences, to the UK and Europe for the history and just because you really should see first hand those things you learned about in school.

 

Recently I have had the chance to visit Vietnam and have come away marveling at the friendliness and hospitality of the people I met.  The country provides enough ancient and recent history, along with wonderful scenery, to capture anyone’s imagination.

 

A wonderful trip to British Columbia, Canada gave me an image of the beautiful lakes, mountains, bears and eagles to carry with me.  And then I was able to do a 3-week trip to South America taking in the Galapagos Islands, a Patagonian cruise, Machu Picchu, Buenos Aires, and so much more!

 

If you are considering making a trip to any of the destinations I have visited and would like to discuss this with me, I would be happy to assist with any queries you may have.  

 

As they say, “remember that happiness is a way of travel – not a destination”, and there are just so many places in the world that I think could make us all very happy!

Mandy

Hi, I’m Mandy and I have been very fortunate to have been working in an industry I love for over ten years, and for Jennings United Travel for the last three.

 

I have travelled extensively to Australia, Europe, Dubai, China, Hong Kong and Fiji.  I have cruised the South Pacific with my family and I must say that, when recollecting my visits to Australia’s great cities, I can see first-hand just why New Zealanders love visiting for the ease of travel, vibrancy and value that they offer.

 

In Europe, Rome has my heart with its amazing ancient history, bubbly people and of course, the Colosseum…! 

 

And as for China ….well, those famous structures like the Great Wall, the culture and the people will be forever with me.

 

I specialize in organizing travel for corporate clients and, along with that, I also arrange conferences and group travel.  If you are after something really  special for your wedding and honeymoon or a special holiday trip, I would love to discuss your requirements with you to make your trip flow effortlessly.

 

If you are looking to work with an agent who is friendly, approachable and passionate about travel, I would be excited to assist you in planning your upcoming travel arrangements.

Sarah

Hi, I’m Sarah and I have worked in the travel industry for 15 years.  Five years in wholesale and the remaining time with Jennings United Travel here in Napier (with a couple of years off to raise my son, who is now six).

 

I have lived in the UK for 7 years, and also spent time living in the New England area of the USA. This has given me a practical knowledge and understanding of what to see and do on travels to these areas.

 

Amongst countries I have travelled in are Europe, UK, USA, Hawaii, Gold Coast, Fiji, Rarotonga, Canada and Thailand.  I have also experienced South Pacific cruising, a way of holidaying which is becoming so popular with many Kiwis.

 

My favourite destination would have to be Canada with it’s beautiful scenery, exciting cities and animal life.  Closer to home, I would give Rarotonga my vote for the beautiful beaches, friendly people and the laid back holiday it offers.  But to be honest, I enjoy selling travel to any destination, be it a family holiday to Disneyland, a worldwide cruise, a honeymoon destination, or a group trip for business clients or a group of friends.  

 

I enjoy working with my clients to ensure that they experience holidays that exceed their expectations, are within their budgets, and satisfy that love of travel that we at Jennings United Travel continue to be so passionate about.
