Travel has always been a huge part of my life. I've explored extensively across North America, South America, Australia and Asia, but it's North America that I keep coming back to.
Having visited nearly 30 U.S. states, I love the variety the region offers, from vibrant cities and national parks to ranches, coastal towns and incredible food scenes. I've spent almost a decade creating tailor-made holidays across the USA and Canada, and when I travel I'm always looking for experiences, restaurants and hidden gems that I'd happily recommend to friends and family.

What is the best piece of travel advice you've ever received?
Always make time to talk to local people. It's the surest way to learn about the culture, discover the best travel tips and who knows what stories you'll hear!
-
What's the most exciting wildlife sighting you’ve ever encountered?
During a visit to Banff I got to see Black Bears, Grizzlies, Bald Eagles, Beaver and Moose - all within the space of 1 hour. That was pretty special!
-
What is the best hotel you've ever stayed at and why?
Chitwa Chitwa in Sabi Sand - my first experience of a Safari Lodge, which was an experience that had been on my bucket list forever.
