Hi there, my name is Rhonda Doole and I’ve just joined The Travel Brokers (in April 2022), while I might be new to TTB, I’m not new to travel!
I started working in travel in Dunedin, the catalyst that got me hooked on travel was a 61-day Contiki Grand European back in the 1980’s – the rest is history as they say! In the intervening years, I’ve worked as a travel agent for several of the major travel brands. I’ve also taught travel and tourism at the polytechnics in Invercargill and Gisborne. My heart is in working with clients, assisting them to realise their travel dreams. From very simple short trip to Australia or the islands to more complex multi-continent travel taking months to complete, whatever the dream, I love turning it into reality.
I can draw on my own extensive travel experience, over the years I have enjoyed both ‘off-the-beaten-track’ and more mainstream travel. My own travels have taken me to Asia, Europe, up to the Arctic, east Africa, North and South America, the Pacific Islands and of course Australia. I’ve done many different styles of holidays – Catamaran holidays in Croatia, small and large ship cruising, tall ship sailing in the Caribbean, River Cruising, road and rail travel, coach tours and much more besides!
Whatever your holiday plans are, be it a family holiday, a business trip, or a once-in-a-life grand tour – I’m up for working with you to craft the perfect journey that will become a treasured memory.
I am licensed to operate under The Travel Brokers, which was established in 2002. They are one of the largest approved TAANZ & IATA accredited Travel Broker networks in New Zealand.
The Travel Brokers belong to the Helloworld group of travel companies, one of the biggest travel companies in Australasia. Being one of the biggest means we have access to all the good deals. It also affords us very strong relationships with our suppliers, a factor that can be invaluable when it matters. So, when you need it most, not only do you have your personal travel professional to call, you also have the support of our suppliers who care about you being looked after.
I can be contacted via email, or phone Monday-Friday 9am – 5pm
I’m available to meet with you for a face-to-face consultation, alternatively, I’m available to visit you in the Nelson region, or you can visit me to discuss your plans at my Richmond office.
