Hello Cantabrians, my name is Ron Montgomery and I have the good fortune to be Cantabrian Magazine's international travel correspondent.

This year I'll be travelling through various locations in the Northern Hemisphere and sharing my journey, insights and experiences along the way.

During these globetrotting adventures I'm still operating my custom travel brokerage, catering to New Zealanders looking for a more personalised and in-depth overseas experience.

Every fortnight in the Five for Fridays email I share interesting, educational and inspiring travel content.

"Delighted with the service we received from Ron at Spirit of Travel. He made it really easy to book our trip to Europe and worked patiently with us as we explored various options. His experience and insight into the travel industry got us a great deal and everything sorted in good time!"

Doug Maarschalk

"...can confidently recommend anyone to contact Ron Montgomery at Spirit of Travel, and discuss your travel aspirations. Out of these chats will come a plan that includes everything you wished. We began with Ron 5 years ago when we randomly approached him as a travel agent, and gave him a wish list for a potential 3 week trip to Borneo, a bucket list destination. There were no 'off the shelf' touristy packages that included everything, so Ron used his contacts and considerable people skills to put together exactly what we wanted."

Graeme and Sue

"Ron is excellent at making sure he gets to know you first, understands exactly what it is you are looking for and "how" you like to travel. The trips he put together for us were both amazing and exceeded our expectations."
