A passion for Asia brought me into the travel industry about 30 years ago. After trying a variety of different things, I happily found my place designing and selling customized travel to exotic destinations for both individuals and groups. I have now been with Direct Travel/Vision World Tours for over 25 years, and I still love what I do!

Over the years my travels have taken me to China, Hong Kong, Korea, Japan, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, Indonesia, Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar, Taiwan, India and Sri Lanka. Though I feel most at home in Hong Kong (I think I’ve been there at least 30 times!), closest to my heart are Japan, India and China, to which I travel as often as possible. When not traveling in Asia, I have also managed to visit South Africa, Turkey, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Antarctica, Russia, Brazil, Argentina, Peru, Cuba, France, Italy, Spain, the UK, Ireland, Belgium, The Netherlands, Iceland, Greenland and Austria.

Why do I love selling travel? I really enjoy talking with people, finding out how they like to spend their time, what is important to them, and designing an itinerary to suit individual needs and interests. More than anything else, though – I love to share the places I love with others. Whether it be luxury or back to basics, travel is a wonderful, mind-expanding thing. It may not always be perfect (and exotic travel often isn’t), but the experiences can change you – how you think, what you feel, and how you live your life.
