About Me

Land of lakes, peaks, and peace!
Land of lakes, peaks, and peace!

New Zealand, a land of breathtaking beauty and pure, untouched landscapes, feels like stepping into another world. Known for its dramatic mountains, sparkling lakes, rolling green hills, and rugged coastlines, New Zealand offers a sense of magic and adventure that stays with every traveler who visits.

The North Island blends vibrant culture with natural wonders. Auckland, the country’s largest city, offers waterfront views, volcanic cones, and a lively food scene. Nearby, the geothermal town of Rotorua captivates with bubbling hot springs, geysers, and rich Maori traditions that bring New Zealand’s heritage to life. Wellington, the charming capital, is known for its arts scene, cozy cafés, and beautiful harbor.

The South Island is a paradise for nature lovers. Queenstown — often called the “Adventure Capital of the World” — offers everything from scenic cruises to adrenaline-filled activities like bungee jumping and jet boating. Its lakes and mountain views are nothing short of spectacular. Fiordland National Park, home to Milford Sound, features towering cliffs, waterfalls, and peaceful fjords that create some of the most unforgettable scenery on Earth.

Further north, Christchurch blends English heritage with innovative gardens and parks, while the Marlborough region invites travelers to sip world-famous Sauvignon Blanc among rolling vineyards. The West Coast showcases glaciers, rainforests, and wild beaches that feel wonderfully remote.

New Zealand’s landscapes change dramatically from region to region — snowy peaks, turquoise lakes, volcanic plateaus, and golden beaches — making it easy to explore endless beauty in one trip.

Its cuisine highlights fresh seafood, local produce, and award-winning wines. Add in the warm hospitality of the Kiwi people and a relaxed, adventurous spirit, and the country feels welcoming from the first moment.

Whether you’re hiking through alpine trails, cruising along fjords, exploring Maori culture, or enjoying a peaceful moment beside a lake, New Zealand offers an experience filled with wonder, serenity, and unforgettable memories.

If you would like to visit New Zealand, please give me a call.

Consultant- New Business Development
Reviewed By Young John - Lima Oh | Traveled to Alaska | USA
When planing an event, details and communication are paramount. Nancy was very kind to help me plan my fights to Anchorage. One airline there and a different airline on return. One of my return flight legs had been delayed. Out of no where I received a text from Nancy letting me know about my flight being delayed before I even knew about it. She worked with me to get me home that night with flight options and additional advisement. You can expect that detail of exceeding expectations and then some! Thank you Nancy for being so proactive! We truly enjoyed our fishing trip in Alaska!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Bonjour France!
Reviewed By Kerri S. - Pleasant Hill, IA | Traveled to France | Europe
I reached out to Nancy for help planning a trip for 7 to France after I became overwhelmed with reviewing accommodations in Paris 6 months before our departure. Nancy communicated clearly and most importantly listened to my feedback to make changes so that we could stay within our budget while still finding accommodations and excursions that met quality expectations as well. Nancy answered all of my questions transparently and she shared our excitement for this trip. I would recommend Nancy for anyone wanting to reduce the stress that accompanies planning a major vacation.
Nancy Uehran responded
"Thank you so much for this wonderful review! ?? Planning a trip for seven to Paris is no small feat, and I'm so glad we were able to find the right balance together. Your excitement made this just as fun for me! I hope France was everything you all hoped for and more, and I would love to help plan your next adventure whenever you're ready! ?? "
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
