“Travel is like a giant blank canvas, and the painting on the canvas is only limited by one’s imagination.” (Ross Morley)
In 2014, I went on a journey that would change my life forever. I decided to book an around-the-world trip for one year with no specific itinerary in mind except for the cities included on the RTW ticket I bought beforehand. It was my first time travelling solo overseas, and everything was new to me. Where do I start? What food must I try? How can I save money on transport and accommodation? The internet helped answer some questions, but not all information was available, primarily for rural places.
Fellow travellers shared stories about where they had been, the highlights of their stay, and how to get to places. But the best source of information was the locals; for secret spots, must-see places, foods to try, or the best time to visit a site.
Before this adventure, I always planned trips for myself and my friends. I would choose a place to explore, sceneries to visit, and activities to do around the area. Being my friends, they can sometimes be “demanding” with what they want. “Where do we go next?”, “Can we go to this place?”, “Can we start late tomorrow?” and so on.
I continued doing this when I came back to New Zealand in 2015. Although I chose longer holidays this time, we get to explore more of the place, immerse with the locals, foster camaraderie, and create priceless memories. These experiences were the perfect training ground for me. That’s when I decided to start Proxee Tours NZ in 2017.

“What I like about photographs is that they capture a moment that’s gone forever, impossible to reproduce.” – Karl Lagerfeld

MEET BEAH
A fellow traveller. A wanderlust New Zealand local. Your friend on the road when you want to take time off.
PROXEE TOURS NZ is operated by Beah Ulama, a travel enthusiast and globetrotter. A wanderlust by nature, Beah has called New Zealand her home for more than 17 years and has been to most parts of this spectacular country. She is originally from Manila, Philippines, and her itchy feet brought her to Middle Earth.
Having explored the world on her terms, Beah has enjoyed tailoring her itineraries without the pressure a traveller may experience from traditionally structured tours plotted by others.
She does ride-sharing on the side when she is not busy. She enjoys meeting fellow local wanderers keen on sharing their hometown’s secret spots.
A few of her favourite pastimes are long drives, hiking, adrenaline-pumping activities, spending quality time, and organising memorable getaways with family and friends.
