My Background
I’ve been in the travel industry for 30 years designing travel experiences for my clients all over the world. The personal connections I’ve made with hotel owners, tour operators, and guides allow me to craft unique itineraries with insider-access for nearly any interest.
Recently I experienced South Africa - a world-class destination where I enjoyed visiting Table Mountain (7th Wonder of Nature), wine-tasting in the Winelands, travelling to the Southernmost Tip of Africa (where the Atlantic & Indian Ocean Meet) and then finished off with a African Safari on the private game reserves of Sabi Sands and Kapama.
Clients consider me an Australia and New Zealand expert – I have family in both countries and especially enjoy trekking outside of Queenstown, luxury lodge stays, cultural Melbourne, and, of course, snorkeling on the Reef. I’ve explored extensively with the top ocean and river-cruise lines, and have more recently embraced health and wellness travel, from quick spa breaks to hiking and cycling adventures.
Travel is an investment in your life.… Take advantage of the personal knowledge, expertise, and global connections I’ve built over more than two decades to design your custom travel experiences.
