Meet Jo Peterson
Travel Expert at Envoyage in North Shore, Auckland
About Me
I have been a travel designer in the industry with both the Flight Centre and Cruiseabout brands since January 2004. For my first ten years, I led teams to success in four retail outlets. Now, I work from my home office on the North Shore of Auckland, doing what I love most—planning your fantastic holidays, whatever they may be. I am your person.I have experienced everything from walking Kings Canyon and hot air ballooning over Uluru to camping in the Masai Mara in East Africa, to luxury cruising in the Galapagos, seeing the marvel that is Machu Picchu, to cruising on the Queen Elizabeth, to sunning myself in the north of Sardinia. I travelled for 5 weeks to South and East Africa, then Namibia for another 2 1/2 weeks. I stayed at the Taj hotels, travelling the Golden Triangle amongst the many experiences over the years.
To some of my most recent trips in 2025 so far have been sailing on Silversea for a week, Sri Lanka with Inspiring Vacations, Sydney and Bali for July school holidays, I have Queenstown to look forward to soon along with cruising with Heritage Expeditions to Bluff and the Hawkes Bay.
I cannot wait to hear from you so we can make your dream become a reality!

Client Testimonials
"We have known Jo Peterson for twenty years since we started to visit our son in the UK regularly. In those early years, Jo became manager of the Downtown Branch of Flight Centre, and we have continued to use her for all our travel arrangements, which she has done with the utmost professionalism and integrity. We have never had a problem with any of the itineraries she has prepared for us, and she has always sought the best deals available. During the COVID-19 outbreak, she ensured our funds were safe and renegotiated an excellent outcome. We have also been too happy to recommend her to friends, and all who have dealt with her have reported outstanding results."
– Rowan & Margaret Smiley
"Jo Peterson is a delight to work with and I trust her completely with my travel arrangements to find the best deals, flight routes, excursions, insurance and accommodation. From the first mention of a new trip away, til my safe return, everything is taken care of. Her firsthand worldwide travel experience puts her at the top of the industry without a doubt, and she continually updates on new options. I can email her from anywhere in the world, and she will respond to any changes needed and organise the best itinerary. With her friendly, professional manner, Jo is, in my opinion, the best in the business. "
– Alison Parker
"We have been with Jo for over 10 years, and during this time, she has been easy to contact, fast to respond, listens and acts fast on any requests, and also provides great ideas. We refer our friends and acquaintances to Jo, as they know we are very fussy with whoever we use, and they are all as happy as we are. We feel so lucky to have Jo as our travel advisor. "
