- 16 years' Experience in Travel
I have always been driven by a deep desire to see the world and build a career in travel, a passion that began at just 13 years old. My first adventure took me to India, an experience that truly changed me. It opened my eyes to new cultures, food, perspectives and ways of life, and sparked a lasting connection with the country.
Since that first life changing encounter I have been lucky to travel to other destinations in Asia, the Middle East and Africa to expand my horizons, but of course I always return to my first love every chance that I get. I love to share my knowledge and experiences with guests to help create meaningful and unforgettable journeys that they will cherish for a lifetime.

My Favourite Scott Dunn Hotels and Tours

VIEW TOURUltimate North & South India
A journey that offers the best of everything. Visit forts, palaces & temples in India's cities, to searching for leopards in a rural Rajasthan, exploring an old harbour town & cruising the backwaters. -
VIEW TOURAdventure Unplugged: Sri Lanka
Love how active this trip is from trekking in the tea country, exploring the lesser trodden national parks like Gal Oya and surfing on the South Coast. All this while still visiting the must sees. -
VIEW TOURUltimate Borneo
A lovely mix of culture wildlife and beach. Seeing orangutans, probiscis monkeys and pygmy elephants was a truly magical experience.
