- 3 years' Experience in Travel
Whether snorkeling off the reef in Australia, surfing in Baja Mexico, ziplining through a rainforest in Alaska, or gorge swinging in Zimbabwe, I have always been drawn to adventure.
Growing up, I was fortunate to have a family that believed history and culture were best understood through first-hand experience. My love for Africa truly took off when I traveled solo through Southern Africa. From catching tigerfish in Zambia and watching a leopard climb a tree in South Africa, to feeling the spray of Victoria Falls and cruising through the Okavango Delta, these are moments I will never forget. Today, I’m lucky to turn that passion into a career, helping my clients create memories of their own.
