About me
Originally from New Zealand I spent a lot of time travelling the Pacific islands while growing up, my dad being from England spent a lot of his time telling us stories of his time travelling Europe, which of course gave us the travel bug. After leaving school I took what was supposed to be two years off to travel the world, and I have managed to fit a lot in. Egypt, America, Africa, Thailand, Japan, Australia, Europe. However I discovered Scott Dunn soon into my time overseas and started working summer and winter seasons. My interest and passion for travel lead me to moving from resort work to working in the ski and Med specialist team in the United Kingdom.
After many seasons working out in the Med and the Alps, I now specialise in our Scott Dunn Explorers club resorts and the winter resorts. I have a great passion and love for all the resorts we deal with.
Where I’ve been
France – authentic food, varied landscapes, language of love
Rarotonga – relaxed atmosphere, stunning beaches, cultural experiences
Kenya – thrill and excitement, peaceful/crazy environment, eye opening
Portugal – easy to get to, sunshine, ruggered landscape, excellent surfing
New Zealand – Land of the Long White Cloud, nothing beats it
Travel nuggets
White water rafting on the Zambezi a truly nail biting and exhilarating experience.
Heleskiing into the Backcountry in the South Island of New Zealand, such a peaceful yet adrenalizing day out.
An early morning swim straight off the beach in Autitaki Rarotonga, makes you truly feel at one with nature.
Hot picks
Verdura – on arrival at Verdura you are made to feel so at home, with the beach on your doorstep, mouthwatering Sicilian foods and a great choice of golf courses.
Chalet Le Rocher – if you want some luxury to go with some great skiing, then this property certainly provides it. Who could turn down a LP champagne served while relaxing in the hot tub after a day’s hard skiing.
Quinto do Maranhao – ideally located with spectacular views out to the Atlantic, a perfect getaway with great staff. Being served iced cold mini G&Ts by the pool at 11am, while your children swim with the nanny is absolute heaven.
