PAM Wins Air New Zealand Dream Seat

When you take an Air New Zealand flight this May (2026) take a wee peek inside Kia Ora mag and you might spot me smiling back at you 😍

Air New Zealand have been a gigantic support for me and PAM as a recipient of a Air New Zealand Dream Seat.

First they paid for my spot on the Far Out 4WD convoy. A money can’t buy adventure from Auckland to Queenstown, hosted by a man on a mission to connect US talent and dollars with Kiwi innovation, Robert Coneybeer.

I got to hang with Kiwi and US world leading founders, investors and industry. Facilitating connections that would usually be near impossible to make for a startup founder working from her caravan in Wellington.

Wonderful Rochelle Moffitt pushed me to celebrate a milestone

THEN to help with our international growth they hooked me up with free flights to the San Francisco last month. Where I got to met investors, talk to busy parents and uncover the nuances between our parenting cultures that are so vital to our success in the US.

On a negative note, experiencing Premium Economy for a long haul has now ruined me. 8hrs sleep is worth every dollar - looks like we need to increase our holiday budgets going forward Tyler Kendall (husband).

And NOW - an article in Kia Ora mag that gets nearly half a million reads a month!

And you know why they’ve been so awesome. Because they truely believe in supporting NZ to grow and get to the world. And behind the brand are some amazing humans doing everything they can to deliver on that.

Thanks Holly Robertson and Grace Blewitt 💜💜💜
