My passion for travel began in my mid 20's when I quit the boring job and decided to go on an adventure travelling to India, Southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand. Exploring new places really opened my mind to different cultures, ways of living, geography and cuisines. For me Asia really ignited my senses, I love the contrast to the West - the smells, rituals, sense of family and tradition, tropical climate and for the most delicious food.

In 2011 I decided to turn my passion for travel into a career and have worked in travel now for 12 years. I am so happy to have found a job that I really enjoy and am still excited about to this day. Of course the research trips to incredible places is a real highlight of the role and very important to have first hand experience. I have recently come back from an incredible trip to Thailand with Scott Dunn and have really enjoyed sharing my insights with guests.

Next on my bucket list is Raja Ampat (for diving), Bhutan, Croatia and walking the Camino Portuguese.
