Name: Louise Moody |

Bio: I grew up in the Central North Island with weekend hiking trips with my family, mountain biking, skiing and watersports in the summer. It was the perfect playground for developing a passion for being outdoors. After heading overseas for a year after high school, I moved down to the South Island and am just about to finish my Masters degree in Geology. Christchurch is the ideal base for getting out into the mountains, and I love heading off to find new trail runs or go camping with friends. When I'm at home, you'll find me trying out new recipes and listening to some of our awesome New Zealand music! |

What our clients have said:
"Louise was an amazing, enthusiastic and delightful guide, cook and host! She is smart, a delight to talk to and very welcoming. she made the trip amazing! Her cooking was to die for!" "We love Louise. Not only is she extremely knowledgeable in all things 'outdoorsy' and in geology, but made the trip a lot of fun. We enjoyed talking with Louise about NZ, her experiences growing up and trips with her family. Her tunes on the bus were a highlight too. Louise is an excellent cook. The food was varied and always well suited to our activities (eg. if we'd been cold and wet, it was nice to have a hot lunch)." "She was a 10. Great personality. Very easy to work with. I enjoyed her expertise as a geologist. It was a bonus. Every meal was great. They had nice variety. We had plenty to eat and sampled some local favorites(ie lamb). She also served an occasional dish from the visitors' countries (crumpets). Active NZ and our guides Tim and Louise made it easy for us to have a great time. " "Louise was sensational and her happy smiling face always made me smile, she also is a wizard with all things geological and this I found most beneficial. Lousie was very keen and a lovely person. Her effervescent personality and her 'can do' attitude made life easy for us and she was always willing to share her knowledge, which went a long way to building our knowledge. Her commitment to ensuring we were never hungry and her cooking was a highlight." "She was FANTASTIC! So kind, engaging and incredibly patient. Really top-notch. Would deal with anything I came to her with. Felt like I had an ally. Helped me with all my special food needs. Really felt taken care of with Louise. I SO appreciated Louise's cooking and taking the time to make sure I could eat everything - really enjoyed every dinner. " |
