- 16 years' Experience in Travel
With over 15 years of experience in luxury travel, I’ve developed a deep love for designing thoughtful, personalised holidays. I’m especially passionate about African safaris — the magic of the wild never gets old — and have a special appreciation for ancient Egypt and Arabian culture, shaped by time spent living and working in Oman.
What truly drives me is getting to know my guests and crafting journeys that reflect their individual style and interests. I take great pride in knowing the destinations and people I work with, and there’s nothing more rewarding than hearing a trip I created became one of their all-time favourites.
