Meet the Team
Stephen Jennings
As the proud owner of YOU Travel Napier you will find me in the office, alongside my exceptional team of dedicated travel enthusiasts team, when I’m not overseas travelling that is. The landscape of travel has evolved significantly over the years. It's no longer just about booking a trip; it's about crafting an unforgettable experience, which is what I love doing best. I thrive on diving into your imagination, working out precisely the experience you want, down to the finest details, and then bringing that vision to life. I count myself very fortunate to have been able to travel to so many countries, cities and amazing places, far too many to list. Many of these journeys have been for business, conferences, family vacations, or leading clients on my personally guided tours, always with a delightful cruise as part of the adventure!

Sarah Peck
I've been a part of the YOU Travel Napier team for numerous years. Throughout my career, I've had the opportunity to explore a diverse array of countries. While I spent six years living in the United Kingdom, my heart truly belongs to destinations like Canada, the USA, and Italy. Family holidays hold a special place in my heart, with cherished memories from trips to the Pacific Islands, Disneyland, Hawaii, and ocean cruises. I thrive on the challenge of organizing seamless travel arrangements for school trips, sports teams, and family groups, ensuring everyone has a memorable experience.
Tyler Jennings
My name is Tyler, a member of the YOU Travel Napier team and following in the footsteps of my father Stephen. I’m a father of 2 boys, a keen sportsman and traveller, having travelled for both leisure and sport. I have visited most the Pacific Islands, Australia, Thailand, Switzerland, UK and the USA to name a few. It’s hard to pick a favourite destination but the Pacific Islands are always at the top of the list.
Zara Geddes
Establishing a career as a Travel Agent has always been a goal of mine and I reckon I have struck the jackpot working with the team at YOU travel in Napier. I hold a diploma in Travel and Tourism and have worked within the Tourism industry for over a decade. Raised in Hawke's Bay and a mother of three, I have a deep appreciation for diverse cultures. I thrive on the challenges of encountering new languages and customs while traveling. One of my most memorable experiences includes embarking on a Favela tour in Rio De Janeiro and enjoying Maghrebi (mint tea) in the serene landscapes of the Atlas Mountains.
