Tour administrator - Te Wharewaka o Pōneke Tours.
My role at Te Wharewaka Tours is to manage bookings and information that is fundamental to our operations, ultimately delivering cultural walking and waka tours at Te Wharewaka o Pōneke.
Sharing our stories and culture with the world!
Winter season, I am no fan of the cold.
Developing a new tour of Pipitea Pā (Thorndon).
Smiles and laughs are the best result!
Working in a public area can invite unwelcomed guests. One day while on tour a scruffy looking man wearing a yellow raincoat knocked on our window, as I addressed him he began dancing in front of our guests and causing quite the spectacle. We approached the situation in a professional manner and had some laughs in the end. When working with people who are problematic always keep calm, assess the situation and find the best solution to the issue at hand. Remember there is always a way and our team is always there to help.
