"I love the variety of all the destinations I deal with."
About me
I first got the travel bug when I left school and I took a year out, travelling through Australia, New Zealand, and Thailand. I’d also done lots of travelling with my parents as a child. My interest and passion for travel lead me to getting a job as an India and Arabia specialist team at Scott Dunn.
After many trips away with the company I now specialise in the Maldives, Dubai, Oman, Jordan, Morocco, India, Bali, Portugal and the Alps. I love that all the destinations I deal with are so varied.
Favourite places I’ve been
Jordan – combination of adventure, culture and relaxation
Oman – such varied and interesting landscape
Maldives – true relaxation and luxury
Morocco – authentic, boutique and stunning Riads
Dubai – like nowhere else on earth!
Kerala – really feels like you are experiencing luxury off the beaten track
Bali – a variety of culture with the option of partying!
Portugal – its so easy to get to with warmth and sunshine.
The Alps – definitely for the active type.
Travel nuggets
01. The Taj Mahal Mumbai is a Palace if I have ever seen one!
02. Paraglide into check-in at Zighy bay on the Musandam Peninsula.
03. An early morning walk along the beach, at Neeleshwar Hermitage, to inspect the fishermen’s catches, is the best start to the day!
My hot picks
01. Tranquil – on arrival at Tranquil you are made to feel so at home, it’s different to any other property I have ever stayed at. This is such a fantastic experience.
02. Soneva Fushi – this well established hotel is my favourite because of its rustic style. The old fashioned cinema is not to be missed on this desert island.
03. Zighy Bay – such a private holiday experience which provides true relaxation
