Hey! I've worked for Nection Ltd since 2018 and been writing for Tripplanner since late 2025. I love it that this is a place where people can tell everyone about where they're from and hopefully bring tourists in.
I'm from Matakana (which is why there's so many listings from there!) I had fun making them, I hope you like them too.
