Bio: I grew up on a dairy farm just north of Christchurch. When I wasn't travelling, I studied Hospitality Management at Christchurch Polytech. My love of skiing -- especially a powder day at the top of Mt Hutt -- is what took me over to the US and Canada. I did a ski season in Vail, Colorado, and then worked for a year in Canada as well. Then I moved to the UK and travelled throughout Europe while I was there, and on to explore China and Thailand before returning home to Christchurch. Love hiking, the outdoors, and getting out into the back country -- and showing off my homeland! |

What our clients have said:
"Sarah was brilliant. Whenever my wife was having trouble Sarah was ALWAYS there to encourage and help. She made all of the hikes and rides fun." "Organized. Reliable and a great cook. Always stayed right there with me at the back of some of the hikes. Pretty young to be a Mom to all of us, but she was. Liz and Sara were professional, fun, full of information and relaxed. I felt safe and taken care of. Liz and Sara took care of everything and we never had to worry about anything, except being active, having fun, great conversations, eating and drinking. " "Sarah was sensitive to individual's needs of could be trusted to give sound advice based on individual ability. Her cooking skills are fantastic. Sarah's cooking and choice of menu was excellent. She observed our likes and dislikes and adapted menus accordingly. " "I enjoyed Sarah's company tremendously. She was an absolutely tireless worker, and always with a smile. She often stuck with me at the back of the pack during hikes, keeping me company and encouraging me along the way. And she always surprised us with fabulous meals, and even Thanksgiving dinner!" "Sarah always made sure to mingle with everyone in the group. She made sure no one was left out. Great chef! We were always well-fed, which is no easy feat with the several food intolerances/food allergies of this group. She went out of her way to make sure that everyone was able to handle the rigors of the trip. Great trip, great guides, great people -- the best vacation of my life! " "Sarah was an excellent guide and cook! All three of us fell in love with both [our guides] Sarah and Lina. Our entire group felt like family before the end of the first week." "Sarah was phenomenal. Big workload and handled it with a smile on her face all the time. Her cooking was gourmet, and I'm a "foodie" and was blown away with the meals she cooked for us!" |
