Got travel plans for 2020? Need a hand navigating the right track?
Hi guys my name is Carole Garnham.
I’ve been in the travel biz for 30 years and have collected many high flyer awards over the years. It all began for me in London on my “Big OE” – 6 years of pure fun combined with ownership of a VW combi (Neil Neil Orange Peel) that allowed me to travel across the UK and Europe extensively !
Whilst living and working in London, I worked for Insight Vacations and specialised in the operation of their coach touring programme throughout the UK, Europe, Scandinavia, the Middle East, USA and Canada.
Then I moved over to Crystal Ski Holidays and became a European/USA ski specialist, with many opportunities to ski every year. And lastly (but certainly not least) I ended up with Kuoni, a renowned prestigious UK Tour Operator, specializing in fly/drive and wedding packages across the Caribbean and North America.
Once back in New Zealand, prior to joining The Travel Broker Team, I’ve worked in the Retail Travel Industry for two prominent travel agencies, over a period of 10 years one of which specialised in online internet consulting. I’ve travelled extensively throughout both the Northern and Southern Pacific Rim Hemispheres, including a 3 month African overland trip, Asia and India. I have a passion for cruising which has seen me complete 20 cruises so far cruising with P&O, Carnival, Princess (I hold Princess Academy accreditation), NCL, Celebrity, Royal Caribbean, Cunard and Avalon.
The areas I have cruised cover :
San Francisco to Mexico
West and Eastern Caribbean Puerto Rico, Columbia and Haiti.
New York to Quebec
Auckland through the islands to Australia, and around NZ twice.
Out of Europe up to Scandinavia and Russia.
Dubai over to Abu Dhabi, Bahrain and Oman.
Japan over to Korea and East Russia.
Vancouver through to Alaska return.
Circumnavigated Hawaiian islands.
Panama Canal crossing covering Mexico, Costa Rica and Colombia through Central America.
House boats of the backwaters of Kerala, India
River cruising Luxembourg to Nuremburg
In addition to the specials that I can get my hands on with The Travel Brokers, I have also created my own website www.go4it.co.nz... which gives me the opportunity to offer slightly different alternative holidays that capture the many interests I have at heart; yoga, dancing, cooking, skiing and cycling getaways. 2017 took me to Vietnam, China, United Kingdom and river cruising in Europe. Most recently I’ve been back over to Singapore, Bali and India. 2018 I landed in South America with time spent in Argentina and Brazil. And can say for 2019 - I've now added the Philippines into the mix!
You name it I’ve been there, or if not I’m probably thinking about going there real soon. So whatever your plans or dreams are, as an avid traveller, let me create your next magical holiday or cruise experience!
Say goodbye to tyre waste
About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.
The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.
Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.
