About me

“Travelling – it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.” – Ibn Battuta

Travel has shaped my life for more than two decades, and helping others experience the world in extraordinary ways has become my passion.

My own journey began with a one-way ticket to London at the age of 23. What was meant to be a gap year quickly turned into three years exploring Europe, the Middle East, North and South America, discovering that the most memorable journeys are those that immerse you in a destination rather than simply ticking off landmarks. That passion has never faded. It has simply evolved into a career dedicated to creating exceptional travel experiences for my clients.

With more than 18 years in the travel industry, including over a decade as a Personal Travel Manager with TravelManagers Australia, I specialise in designing bespoke luxury holidays, adventure travel and expedition voyages to some of the world’s most remarkable destinations.

Antarctica holds a special place in my heart. As an expedition cruise specialist, I work closely with the world’s leading operators to match clients with the voyage that best suits their travel style, whether that’s a classic expedition, a luxury small-ship experience or an unforgettable helicopter and kayaking adventure. From the polar regions to the Galápagos, the Arctic, Africa, South America and beyond, I love crafting journeys that combine authentic experiences with exceptional comfort.

My years of extensive personal travel, strong relationships with trusted suppliers around the world and commitment to personalised service mean every itinerary is thoughtfully designed from start to finish. Whether you’re dreaming of a once-in-a-lifetime expedition, a luxury honeymoon, an African safari, or a tailor-made adventure across multiple countries, I’ll take care of every detail so you can simply enjoy the experience.

Travel isn’t just about where you go, it’s about how you feel while you’re there. My goal is to create seamless, meaningful journeys that inspire, surprise and leave you with stories you’ll be telling for years to come.

I’d love to help you plan your next unforgettable adventure.

Where I've Travelled

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain

I’ve been fortunate to explore more than 90 countries across all seven continents, and every journey has shaped the way I design travel for my clients. The more I travel, the longer my bucket list becomes. Because every destination reveals another hidden corner of the world waiting to be discovered.

My travels have taken me from luxury safari lodges in Africa and remote expedition voyages to Antarctica, to the vibrant streets of Latin America, the ancient cultures of Asia, the spectacular landscapes of New Zealand, and the timeless beauty of Europe. I’ve travelled extensively throughout Australia, the South Pacific, North and South America, the Middle East and beyond, always seeking out experiences that go beyond the ordinary.

Latin America and Africa will always hold a special place in my heart. Their incredible wildlife, dramatic landscapes, rich cultures and infectious energy are unlike anywhere else on Earth. Whether it’s watching wildlife on safari, exploring remote wilderness, hiking to breathtaking viewpoints or connecting with local communities, these are the experiences that inspire me most, and the ones I love creating for my clients.

I believe the best journeys balance adventure with comfort, authentic experiences with exceptional service, and iconic highlights with those unforgettable moments that never make it into the guidebooks. Every destination I visit adds another layer of firsthand knowledge, allowing me to recommend the right experiences, hotels, guides and expedition cruises with confidence.

 

Services I Provide

Travel today is more complex than ever, but planning your holiday doesn’t have to be.

When you work with me, you gain a trusted travel advisor who takes the time to understand your travel style, priorities and what’s most important to you. Every itinerary is thoughtfully designed to reflect your interests, whether that’s an expedition to Antarctica, an African safari, a luxury honeymoon, a multi-country adventure or the trip you’ve been dreaming about for years.

From our first conversation until you return home, I personally manage every aspect of your journey. That includes researching destinations, selecting the right accommodation and experiences, coordinating logistics, and ensuring every detail comes together seamlessly.

Just as importantly, I’m here when things don’t go according to plan. Flight disruptions, weather events, schedule changes and unexpected challenges can happen, and when they do, you won’t be left navigating them alone. I’ll advocate on your behalf, work directly with airlines and suppliers, and find the best possible solution so you can get back to enjoying your holiday.

Over the years, I’ve built trusted relationships with leading hotels, expedition cruise operators, destination specialists and local partners around the world. These connections allow me to recommend experiences and suppliers I genuinely believe in, giving you confidence that every part of your journey has been carefully considered.

My goal is simple: to remove the stress from travel planning and create exceptional journeys that are seamless, memorable and uniquely yours.
