From Hisar to Ponsonby: My journey of passion and adventure.
From a small agricultural town in Hisar, India, to the vibrant neighbourhood of Ponsonby, my journey has been nothing short of an exciting adventure.
Growing up, I was fortunate to have English as my primary language in school, which opened up a world of opportunities. At 17, I packed my bags and moved to Chandigarh to attend Hotel School. It wasn’t my first choice, but with limited options in tourism, I opted for a degree in Hospitality and Hotel Administration. My heart, however, was always set on travel and tourism – I wanted to inspire people to explore and experience new places.
In 2017, I pursued a Masters in Tourism at the University of Otago in New Zealand. After graduating, I landed my dream role as a travel consultant in Marlborough Sounds, where I loved every aspect of travel planning. But as the pandemic reshaped the world, I had to pivot to restaurant and event management, which allowed me to hone my business skills. By early 2021, I was managing a customer service team for seven hotels in Wellington Central —a role as challenging as it was exhilarating.
With the return of travel in late 2022, I embraced my true calling by joining Helloworld Travel Westgate as a Travel Consultant. It felt like a homecoming, allowing me to craft unforgettable journeys for clients. From European river cruises to Alaskan adventures, each trip has been a testament to the magic of travel. I’ve even had clients book multiple trips in a single year, which stands out as a highlight of my career. Recently, I had the chance to explore Southeast Asia, the Middle East and the South Pacific, with the Intrepid Vietnam tour being a standout.
Mid-2024 marked a new chapter for me as I launched my own travel venture in Ponsonby. This year has been exceptional, with accolades such as the Helloworld Diamond Sales Achiever and Rookie of the Year awards. I’m also thrilled to be heading to the Maldives this October as one of the top 15 sales achievers.
At our cosy Helloworld office in Ponsonby, my small but dynamic team and I are dedicated to delivering exceptional service and crafting personalized itineraries. I’m excited to bring my passion for travel to our community and help you plan your next unforgettable adventure.
