Founded by Karen Pettit-Lind in Marin County, California in 2001, with offices in Auckland & Nelson, New Zealand and Sydney, Australia, our mission at Latitude South is to ensure you are never a ‘tourist’, rather a cherished visitor, welcomed to Australia and New Zealand on the most warm, hospitable terms.
