Meet Jo Peterson

Travel Expert at Envoyage in North Shore, Auckland

About Me

I've been a travel designer since January 2004, working across both the Flight Centre and Cruiseabout brands. For my first ten years I led teams to success in four retail outlets, and today I work from my home office on Auckland's North Shore, doing what I love most: planning fantastic holidays, whatever they may be.

Travel is something I LOVE, and my own adventures run deep. I've walked Kings Canyon and floated over Uluru in a hot air balloon, camped in the Masai Mara, cruised the Galapagos in luxury and stood in awe at Machu Picchu. I've sailed aboard the Queen Elizabeth, soaked up the sun in northern Sardinia, spent five weeks exploring South and East Africa followed by two and a half weeks in Namibia, and travelled India's Golden Triangle staying in Taj hotels along the way.

From safari camps to luxury cruise suites, I've experienced a huge variety of destinations and travel styles firsthand, which means I can match you with the holiday that truly fits.

Whatever your dream trip looks like, I am your person. I can't wait to hear from you so we can make it 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. "
