About Jo O'Gorman
With over seventeen years experience in the New Zealand travel industry, I’ve handled both retail and wholesale travel. Starting with South Pacific destinations, I soon moved into planning travel to Asia, North America and UK/Europe. My career has given me the opportunity to experience a wide range of destinations and products, both as a tourist and as a travel agent. I’ve visited islands in the Pacific, areas of Asia, parts of North America and highlights of the UK and Europe. It is my goal to visit a new destination every year and put that knowledge to use in creating dream holidays.
Testimonials
Travel plans mostly conjure up pleasant thoughts of new sights, new worlds, new experiences, and it's easy to think you can just do it on your own. But it's especially for those times when the pleasant things don't transpire that the value of a stellar travel expert like Jo O’Gorman reveals itself. Over the past few years that we have relied on Jo to help us create the good times, she's rose to the zenith when helping us rapidly return to NZ before the borders closed due to Covid, had to find alternative arrangements when war broke out, when a loved one died, and when flights were unexpectedly cancelled. Having someone in your corner like Jo who is always responsive, exercises her arsenal of creativity, positive provider-relationships across the global network, and years of experience in the travel industry becomes an invaluable resource. Having a knowledgeable and well-travelled agent is as important as travel insurance, and to be honest, you should never leave home without both in your pocket. – Melanie and Jon Purdey
