A new pulse in travel: Travel Pulse
by Metropol | September 2, 2026 8:33 am
A fresh name and brand, backed by the same trusted expertise, Timaru travel agent Selese Rowe unveils her next adventure with a company where the world is your oyster.
“Every itinerary begins with that spark of excitement, the same feeling when you step into a new city, hear a new language, or watch the sun rise somewhere far from home. That sense
of possibility is what drives me,” says Selese Rowe, who offers tailored travel experiences from her Timaru base. After 20 years in the industry, she launched Travel Pulse, an independent brand with the same reputable network that unlocks greater opportunities and more flexibility for curated travel and escorted tours.
From the initial travel spark to the final flight home, Selese is the catalyst that fulfills lifelong dreams – a journey or destination that moves from moodboard to real life. “Over the years, I’ve learned that no two journeys are the same. Some travellers dream of far-flung adventures, others want a quiet escape closer to home. I’ve shaped Travel Pulse to be a place where every kind of traveller finds their perfect fit.”
Selese has ticked off countless countries, even though each trip is more like a reconnaissance mission. “Wherever I am, I’m looking at it from a different perspective… like which clients would like this style of travel or how could I create the best experience in this location,” she says. Between flights, accommodation, travel style like a cruise or tour, insurance, hidden gems, and insider insights, Selese’s knowledge of the globe is your guide to the ultimate customised travel adventure. “I coordinate the plans, remove any obstacles and create a seamless experience,” she says.
Flights, hotels & tours
Domestic or international, a flight is often the first step toward somewhere new. From there, you’ll be matched with hotels or boutique stays to suit – some love the ease of an escorted tour, others want a fully guided experience at their own pace. “Both are our specialty,” Selese says.
Cruises & overland travel
Ocean or river, Selese will find your rhythm. “And when the journey continues on land, we arrange rental cars, vans, campers, ferries, buses and trains (including rail passes) for those who love watching the world roll by from a window.”
Curated moments
Activities, hidden gems suggested by locals, stress-free airport transfers, island weddings… “these are the moments that make a trip truly yours. Every detail is secured through our trusted network of reputable suppliers.”
