Growing up in South Africa sparked a lifelong love of travel, culture, and adventure that has shaped both my life and my approach as a travel advisor. Having lived on three continents and travelled extensively through Southern and Eastern Africa, Europe, and the Caribbean, I bring both personal experience and global perspective to the journeys I help create.

Africa holds a special place in my heart. From safaris in South Africa, Namibia, Kenya, Malawi, and Zimbabwe to immersive cultural experiences and extraordinary landscapes, I understand the magic of travel that goes beyond simply seeing a destination. Europe is another enduring passion - from vibrant cities and hidden villages to food, history, and meaningful local experiences. I have also developed a particular appreciation for river cruising, which offers a wonderfully immersive and relaxed way to experience Europe’s culture, landscapes, and traditions.

Before becoming a travel advisor, I spent over 25 years in education, helping people learn, explore, and make informed decisions. That background continues to influence the way I work with clients today. I believe travel planning should feel collaborative, thoughtful, and tailored - not overwhelming.

I specialize in crafting experiential journeys that reflect each client’s interests, travel style, and dreams - whether that’s a luxury safari, a European river cruise, a culturally rich itinerary, or a carefully paced adventure designed to inspire connection, comfort, and discovery.

For me, travel is about more than checking destinations off a list. It’s about meaningful experiences, lasting memories, and seeing the world with curiosity and wonder.

After all, no matter where you go — it’s a beautiful planet.
