Discover The 40 Collection

Travel has always been a key passion of mine and I am constantly planning my next adventure! I have been lucky enough to visit some fantastic areas and countries all over the world, however I have a strong love of Europe. I often think it is easy to forget about the incredible destinations we have close to home and what a variety these offer and the plus of no jet lag too!

I've always been interested in travel from a young age after several visits to Russia with school and then learning languages in university. After graduating, I moved to Moscow and took every opportunity to travel around Asia and eastern Europe.

My career in travel has exposed me to some of the most incredible travel experiences across Southern Europe & Scandinavia. Italy has a special connection for me having lived there while studying History of Art for my degree. Each Italian city has something unique and astonishing to offer; from the great ruins that comprise the Roman Forum, to the exceptional glass and carnival masks adorning Venetian shop windows. As a huge advocate of experiences and unique tours, I believe there is nothing more stimulating than immersing yourself in local cultural activities. There is so much to discover in Europe and from multiple exciting perspectives - there's something for everyone.

Throughout my life, I have always travelled, and I believe it has made me the character I am today. During my younger years and education, I was fortunate enough to experience some sensational family holidays in places like Australia, Japan, South Africa, and different corners of Europe. I carried this fire inside me to travel solo throughout America, visiting 16 states, and then spent six months traveling through all of South America. My real passion is wildlife, and when I took the leap to explore Africa, I was hooked immediately. My goal now is to unravel all that Africa has to offer, taking in everything related to culture, history, and, let's not forget, the wildlife!
