- 21 years' Experience in Travel
My passion for travel was sparked from family vacations I went on from a young age. Then at 19, I traveled across Africa on an overland truck, I was blown away by this magnificent continent. The vast open spaces, the colors, the diversity of landscapes, the incredible wildlife and the warmth of the people.
Africa has a way of getting under your skin and that is where the magic began! From that life-changing journey I went on to build a career working with specialist travel companies and ground handlers, an experience that not only gave me a deep understanding of luxury travel but allowed me to explore Africa more extensively and I love sharing my knowledge and suggestions with guests.
