Meet Your Guide: Jared Preston
I believe that travel, when done with purpose, has the power to change who we are.
For over 13 years, I have mentored young adults, helping them find deeper meaning and purpose in their lives. With a Master’s degree in Religious Education from BYU, my heart is in teaching. I find my greatest joy in helping others strengthen their personal values while exploring the history and spirit of the Holy Land.
But my story began in New Zealand. As a Kiwi native, I have a lifelong bond with the natural world. I don’t just want to show you the famous sights of my homeland; I want to introduce you to the "hidden" New Zealand that only a local knows.
I designed The Preston Pathway because I believe travel should feel like a journey with family. When you join us, you aren’t just a client—you’re a friend. My wife and I focus on creating a warm, welcoming environment where genuine friendships are built to last long after we return home.
I’ll handle the logistics and the deep-dives into history; you just bring your curiosity.
Guided by Faith, Inspired by Majesty
I believe the best journeys are the ones that move both the feet and the soul. By combining my background as an LDS educator with my roots as a New Zealand local, I provide a travel experience that is as spiritually deep as it is naturally stunning. Let's find the pathway that’s right for you!
