Hi! I’m Courtney
I grew up in a farming community in rural Ohio. From an early age, my mother supported and encouraged travel. It was usual for us to fly to California every couple of years and also to visit different parts of the U.S. on our school vacations. My travel experience is extensive, as I feel most comfortable while exploring and experiencing new cultures. I’ve had the good fortune to visit many countries in Europe, Central America, as well as Australia, Brazil, Asia, and India. A few of my favorite destinations are documented on Climbbetty.com.
My first trip to New Zealand was in 2011. It was love at first sight. Since then, I have been actively traveling to New Zealand for extensive amounts of time and currently making plans to split my time between New Zealand and the U.S.
After more than a decade of helping friends and family with their travel plans, I decided I should make a business of it. I’m excited to launch New Zealand Travel Solved as a Travel Expert and Travel Coach.
New Zealand Travel Solved (NZTS) is not about volume. Instead, we are about creating authentic experiences. Courtney and her team of specialists have a deep understanding of travel, and in particular, New Zealand, and have personally experienced the road less traveled.
As destination experts, we only create custom, personalized itineraries. Unlike larger companies that employ travel agents, who only book specific hotels or packages for commissions, (NZTS) is not about mass tourism. We can, therefore, offer unbiased, unique suggestions for accommodations and experiences. We remove the middle man, so there are no hidden upcharges or commissions. We are a transparent fee-for-service company.
At New Zealand Travel Solved, we prefer a boutique approach to understanding our clients. The planning process is about connection, collaboration, and creating. We take a genuine interest in every client, learning their story, and what is fueling their wanderlust.
Our clients are independent travelers who know how much work goes into planning and executing a trip. They want to see it, hear it, smell it, and experience the incredible raw beauty, real communities, delightful flavors and heart-pounding activities of New Zealand and yet, keep it simple.
New Zealand Travel Solved planning services give you an itinerary that is one page per day, plus all the contact information you need at your fingertips. All the details are arranged, checked, and triple-checked so that when you receive the final itinerary, it puts you in the right place at the right time—enabling you to relax, enjoy and come home with great stories of your New Zealand adventure.
