“Plan well, but leave room for spontaneity. Often that’s where the magic happens.” For experienced travel advisor Sarah Thomas, this isn’t just a tip she gives her clients – it’s a philosophy that’s shaped her own adventures across 13 countries (and counting).
Based in Auckland, Sarah brings a personal and detail-oriented touch to every trip she plans. With deep expertise in destinations across the South Pacific, Asia, Europe, and the Americas – including favourites like Tonga, Switzerland, Sri Lanka, and the United Arab Emirates – Sarah is especially sought-after for her custom itineraries in island escapes, small group tours, family getaways, premium airfares, and all-inclusive holidays.
Having once lived in Singapore, Sarah holds a soft spot for its unbeatable vibrancy. Her global experience is more than just stamps in a passport – it’s a collection of lived moments and genuine connections. One of her fondest memories? A spontaneous mother-daughter weekend in Malaysia, exploring the French-themed Colmar Tropicale, night-tramping through jungle trails in search of tarantulas. “It was magical. My usually cautious mum came alive with wonder. Something changed in her. I’ll never forget that trip.”
With a sharp eye for detail and a heart for human connection, Sarah believes that truly memorable travel comes from thoughtful planning mixed with a sense of discovery. Whether you’re dreaming of the Northern Lights from a glass igloo in Finland or the overwater bungalows of Bora Bora, Sarah is here to make your journey seamless, enriching, and unforgettable.
Let her help you find your own moment of wonder.

Get to know me
What are your favourite destinations to visit and why?
Singapore is my all-time favourite. It was once home, and it still feels like it. I never tire of its energy. Lush gardens, hawker feasts, skyline views, and world-class everything! Starting from the amazing Changi Airport to endless new discoveries, it never loses its charm and rich culture. It's familiar, vibrant, yet always full of heart.
What is the most amazing experience you have created for a client?
A Swiss mum and her 14-year-old son with Kiwi roots came to me after struggling to find a New Zealand tour that suited them both. As a mum of a teenager myself, I immediately connected with them, understanding their hopes and challenges. I found the perfect tour itinerary, tailored to their pace and passions, with hidden gems and unique accommodations along the way. They explored the North, and I was privileged to join them for an unforgettable South Island adventure. From stargazing in Lake Tekapo, glacier flights, and river tubing through glow worm caves on the west coast, to name a few - this trip was filled with stunning landscapes, shared laughter, and quiet moments of wonder.
Why do you love travel? Tell us what it means to you?
Travel opens my eyes, stretches my heart, and connects me with people and places in ways nothing else can. It’s not just about seeing the world. It’s about feeling it, learning from it, carrying those stories with me and sharing them with others.
How do you go above and beyond for your clients?
I don’t like to simply plan trips - I love curating unforgettable journeys, rich in detail and full of heart. I listen closely, tailor every detail, and treat each journey like it’s my own. It’s about hidden gems, thoughtful touches, and seamless execution. I truly value hearing my clients’ stories upon their return and see feedback as a gift to keep refining the experience.
